RDA Velocity build

[Vapin4Real]

I am somewhat new to building and I have a question. Do you guys find that it is a much harsher vape on an RDA vs prebuilt? For instance... I currently am runnin crown tanks on .5 coils at around 40 watts. It is just plain delicious and smooth. I have messed around with a few .5 dual coils builds. For instance... a 8 wrap 27g 2mm Kanthal, 5 wrap 28g 3mm Kanthal, and a 8 wrap 26g 2mm Kanthal. I find that at the same wattage or even down to around 25 watts it is just a much harsher vape. Is that just normal for RDA? It is something I have to get used to? I would love to be able to get that same smooth delicious vape from rebuilding because I love to build. I also started dripping so that I can try different juices without having to fill a tank. But what am I doing wrong or what could I do stop from getting such harsh hits. Here is a pic of my current build. 5 wrap 28g 2.5 mm

Harshness (in my experience) is usually associated with hot spots or hot legs on your coils. When you build, do you tweak you coils and verify that they glow evenly from the center outward and that the legs do not glow and that there are no spots that burn/glow 'brighter' than others?

PS the coils in your pic have some super long legs that shoot out from the main 'coil body' - that's a prime risk for hot leg.

There are 0 hotlegs in any of my coil builds. I tweak them, caress them, love them like they are my child. Its just mainly the RDA experience in general. I guess I will keep building until hopefully i find something that works. Its only a 5 wrap so the legs appear long on that build

Try using more air intake. Air helps cool the vapor down as well as adding body to it. I find less air creates a harsher vapor, and hotter as well, less body.

more wraps thicker wire 24 or 26 Ga @ (try 2mm or 2.5) use less cotton... first couple of hits at a lower power and then take it up. More air flow (already mentioned) is a great idea. Use Steam Engine if you don't already. RDA experience shouldn't be a harsh vape.

looks like i can see the nic on your juice is 6?, when dripping try a 3 nic and see if that fixs your harsh hit, i vape 3 nic and 6 will rip my throat out

More wraps will increase ramp up time which will result in more flavour, vapour and I would wager a smoother draw to boot.

Don't be fixated on keeping your build resistance low on a regulated mod like yours. In my experience the best thing to do is fill that atty with coil!

My Velocity currently has a simple dual coil 24ga 3mm build @ 7 wraps and it is not harsh at all, even with 6mg liquid. My advice would be to use larger wire, or pick up some Clapton wire. A Velocity on a RX200 is a fantastic combination with the right build.
