What build is solid for flavor?

[raige93]

I have an authentic Plume Veil that has been stationary on my desk for about half a month now, as I don't like taking anything too pricey out of the house to work with me as I can be a tad clumsy at times.

That being said what would be a good built to throw in it to utilize for flavor, I do not have the ability ( not currently anyways) to do twisted builds, though anything else that I can think of at the time of writing this is basically viable. I prefer a warm to hot vape, and vapor production for this build is not at all important to me. That being said, I have 22, 24, 26, and 28 g Kanthal, every drill bit above and including 1/16", and some 12mg Andromeda from Space Jam that I've been dying to go through, but as I use 3mg for an ADV, that is just toooooo strong to be using at all times. I love the stuff, and accidentally got the wrong nic level the other day at a local shop, but certainly don't want to waste it.

As always, any help is greatly appreciated, thank you fellow vapers.

If you want to cut the nic on that Andromeda from Space Jam u could buy a bottle of 0 mg and cut it to 6...another to cut it to 4 and another to cut it to 3. You could do it a lot cheaper with pure VG and PG at a reasonable ratio but you will be diluting the flavor that way... you might be surprised though.

Lots of theories about mauled up looking coils with pockets to capture and vaporize more juice for flavor...more surface area. I've experimented with twisted. Works great and tastes great...not so sure I could pick it out in a double blind taste test. Want to give parallel a run soon for more surface area. Hmmm maybe parallel twisted?

The most fun is experimenting with different builds, comparing, and finding what you like. I've been enjoying a fairly straight forward .4 ohm dual vertical coil build on my RDA of choice recently, not a bad place to be and a little fiesty for me. make sure your batteries amps can keep up. lower ohms == more fiesty (but be safe), higher ohms == more laid back (and less amps + more battery headroom/safety margin). Check out the coil building section, u could get some good ideas in plume veil threads too, run a search.

I always forget about the search feature >.< Thank you! I appreciate the words concerning safety though assure you that's no problem. I thought about cutting it, I do have plenty of pure USP VG, I'm just lazy. Which is ironic isn't it, I'd rather make a new coil(s) than measure a few ml's of fluid. Tis the nature of the beast I suppose.

If I'm really digging I prefer pure google searches
"site:http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com plume veil"

EDIT: in case it's not obvious throw everything inside the quotes into google's search.

Plus 1 on cutting it with 0mg.

For flavor for me the single parallel coil is king. Not horribly more difficult than a standard micro.

+ 1 for single parallel coil. I've tried it in my plume veil clone. 6/7 wraps dual 25ga kanthal (round a 2mm screwdriver) came out at about 0.2/0.3 ohms (Use a 30A battery)

Stuff some rayon/cotton in there and loop it under the coil. Make sure there is enough rayon/cotton under the coil (I don't worry about leaving a space between the coil and cotton below for this kind of build as I think you have enough airflow around the coil in the plume veil and it also gives more juice in contact with the coil) BUT make sure there is space for the airflow from under the negative post in the plume veil.

I like it with the main airflow about half open, negative post airflow fully open and then adjust the delrin top cap airflow depending on whether you want a hot or warm vape. I open it a bit as I prefer a warm vape to a hot).

I find I need to juice it up again after maybe 3 longish draws with this but the flavour is great.

24ga single micro coil at .45ohms seems to work great for flavor in my mutation X / sir lancelot mech mod combo... i switched from 28ga to 24ga and the difference in flavor and vapor is night and day.
