vaping at 1.0 + ohms on mech mods?

[AttyPops]

Hi. I am using a Zmax v2, at around 8.5-9.5 watts on a 9-12 wrap micro coil of 30 gauge kanthal for my mini protank 2 heads. Seems to work well. I especially love the RY4 from Crystal Eliquids, I believe they are called. Great juice! I haven't much experience with juices yet, as I only started in January, but people who reviewed it say it's the best RY4 they have come across, so that's good at least. lol

What gauge kanthal, and how many wraps for you to get 1.0ohm? And you say you are using a Natural? I bought a cheap nemesis clone from fasttech, and the aqua coloured batteries rated for 20 amps. I don't seem to get much heat into my coils, and they take a while to heat up. Any ideas as to why? This is using high ohm coils too. Like 1.5-1.8. I just can't understand why it doesn't seem to be working well. I only have smoktech octapus, and igo-l rba's at the moment, but can't seem to get my coils to light up fast, as I see others do in their videos. Any ideas why?

Thanks for any advice.

You need more watts for lower gauge wire. I assume from your post your using the same 30 ga wire. So try slightly lower ohms. There's just more mass there to heat with heavier wire, regardless of how you wind it.

Then, the type of winding makes a difference too. So, you have to "play with it" and adjust as needed for your build. Make sure to test the ohms so you know what you are doing for adjustments and can make sense of it.

Or, optionally, you can raise the gauge (thinner wire). 30 should work though. I use anywhere from 28 ga to 32 ga depending on what I'm rebuilding (32 ga in an evod head re-wire, 30 or 28 ga in my RDA, etc). You can even use 34 ga...some say that's the "stock coil" gauge.
