Vapor Production @ 0.8-1.0 Ohms - am I wicking it wrong?

[dezza]

I've built my IGO-W4 countless times now everyday for the last 3 weeks.

The 2*airholes are drilled to 2mm.

I've tried to follow any advice I've got and these are the few rules I apply currently:

- Coil as close to airhole/edge as possible
- 2-3mm space underneath the coil
- Lightly folded cotton - just lightly touching with a handpalm without applying pressure and making a stiff point for threading before wicking.

juice: 60/40 PG/VG - Not going to cross 50% VG and sacrifice flavour.

I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong here ... I've borrowed a VTC4 for week also and did some 0.4-0.6 builds - not seeing a big increase, but somewhat an increase - I'm much better now at building, but I feel like the technique is what is missing, or a few rule of thumb to increase both vapor and flavor all in all. The best flavor I've got so far in my IGO-W4 is with a microcoil and threaded cotton cloud - It kinda lifted all flavor to a whole new level.

I also just got an Origen and the vapor production is similar - although they are two very different devices.

Any ideas? Thanks for listening!

I don't think there is anyway around this... Higher VG.

I have a patriot clone with a .6 ohm build in it and was using some 65/35 pg/vg making nice flavor but little clouds. I picked up some 100% straight VG at wal-mart last night, dripped a couple of drops and WOW! Wicked thunderheads come rolling out! Tough choice: flavor or vapor?

So we're back to

- Less ohms
- More air

?

Maybe a 200 mm RDA with a Centuple (100) coil build...

Maybe someone else can chime in with some suggestions but in my limited experience I've only seen bigger clouds with higher vg ratios.

Bump!

Sorry to thread jack but does Wal-Mart really sell juice?

Are you doing mouth to lung inhales or straight lung inhales? I get massive clouds at .5 with 50/50 juice by doing lung inhales but if I do mouth to lung, I don't get much vapor at all.

How about nano coils - smaller diameter, fires faster == more heat on less ohms == more vapor ?
(Maybe use some higher gauge - to get fewer wraps to the nano to deliver air more efficiently through the airhole ?)

I also aligned my coils perfectly with my 2mm airholes - I can see them directly trough the top cap glowing just on the other side - they are only millimeters from touching the edge!

Direct to the lung!

100% VG (no nicotine)

6 oz (177 ml) for $3.86 and looks like this...


There is another thread here on ECF about some people feeling sick after using it but I feel fine, there's just a slight sweet taste to it and it works good for making clouds.

Been seeing the same thing on an Omega with single/dual microcoils on cotton. Guess some 100%VG might be in the near future, if for nothing more than entertainment.

I think you are going to have to sacrifice some flavor to get big clouds. I would make the airholes bigger, 3mm minimum. Get higher VG juice, and drop the resistance. I recommend just building two more coils. If you are .6 with the ones you have you'll hit .3 if you add two more.

I have really enjoyed quad coils. Tons of vapor, but none of the coils have to heat as much as they do with duals. This allows the vape to stay a little cooler and allows the wicking to keep up better. Just my .02

I have a single triple braided coil at 0.4ohms using 30 guage running at 15W on a vs dna 30. Good clouds and flavor. I would get the same results maybe slightly bigger clouds using a mech and a fully charged VTC5's on the same set up.
