Good morning everyone!
I got a bunch of stuff in the mail today that I had ordered.. Resistance (ohm) checker, tools, kanthal (10 feet of 32 ga. And 5 feet of 28 ga.) and I've been playing with rebuilding coils in my kanger t3s tanks

After many different tries, I got two that I like but I have some questions. One is a microcoil (9 wraps of 28 ga.) and at 1.4 ohm vapes at 8.5 watts it delivers intense flavor but my vapor cloud is not that big. Liquid is a 50/50 mix. The other is just an evenly spaced wrap of 32 ga and at 2.4 ohm, and vaped at 8.5 watts I get a much bigger cloud but much less flavor.

Is this typical? I've heard the terms Flavor Chaser and Cloud Chaser tossed around. So is it true that if u have a bigger cloud u get less flavor?

Only been vaping about 3 weeks or so and I'm still learning a lot. Been playing with my ohms law calculator I downloaded to my iPhone and getting a good feel for it, as I have a nemisis clone and a patriot clone rda on the way along with some sony vtc5 batteries, a charger, and more coil building tools. (Yeah I saved all the money I would have spent on cigs and then spent it all two days ago!) I wanna be able to get the best of both world in the mech mod. Clouds don't need to be extreme but I want big clouds that taste great..

I'm having a blast though at vaping and am loving this new hobby! Also how do you post pics on here?

It is *somewhat* typical -- lord knows the cloud chasers swear up and down that they can't taste their vape if they're not exhaling something that looks like cool whip. However, the general "rule of thumb" is that higher PG gives more flavor and throat hit; higher VG gives more vapor, but less flavor and much less throat hit. 50/50 should actually be a fairly happy medium, for a great many people. I prefer 75PG/25VG, because I love flavor, I must have great throat hit, and thick vapor chokes me -- it's really just about finding what suits you best, because there are so many options.
