Twisted wire...

[Rabbit Slayer]

With 28g, what would give better flavor/vapor 2 strands or 3?

In the simple view, the more strands you have, the more surface area you have and the more vapour you can put out.

However...

The more metal you have in the coil, the more power it requires to get it to temperature. A heavy coil needs more power to work; it doesn't work with low power. If you have more power you need to have more liquid flow through the wick. The design of the coil and the wick, and the atty and the mod all have to be right. Getting all that correct is a dark art - there are no simple rules to follow, it's all down to experience.

If you get it wrong you will end up with a coil that is too laggy at low powers and burns liquid at high powers, making it functionally useless.

3 but it also take 3x the power to reach the temperature of 1 wire.

More mass (more wire) will hold the heat longer as well.

Thats why I use smaller twisted wires to increase surface are rather than Fat wire and lower ohms. Example 2x32 vs 28awg coils, they will have approx the same surface area at a given ohm, but the 28 has almost 2x the mass. They will have about the same heat flux but the 2x32 will be faster.

I'm using 2x 28g twisted, tastes great!

I was thinking about trying a twisted build since I only have 30g wire right now, but I only have a 50w mod and was having difficulty powering even my 0.6ohm dual coil build with that wattage limit lol I think I need to build higher resistance coils

I don't know about that?????? Try This: 3x30 on 2.5mmid 5 wrap (5/6) .59-.64ohm, Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators

Only 50watts huh....... Thats only 2x the watts you should need on the above coil.

I got a 50w leaf and 30g .7ohm duals and ~30w is PLENTY, occasionally 35. You hot temperature vapers are a crazy bunch.

That's all I ever use. Two does it for me.

I usually vape 26g microcoil, but when I have time I make twisted coils with three strands of 32g kanthal. Tastes a lot better, I tell you.
