What gauge is included in most RDAs?

[Johntodd]

I mean in the goodie bag. I have several goodie bags laying around and I would like to try to use that wire.

It is thicker than my 30ga.

In order to get an accurate measurement out of Steam Engine, I must know the gauge.

I use only regulated mods. So, I think anyone hazarding a guess would be OK with me.

My RDAs are The Big Dripper, 101vape's 28.5mm house dripper, and an IGO-W.

Probably 28ga?
Thanks!

Most I've seen are 24 ga Nichrome but I have not seen 'em all by any stretch.

Mine are from the kanthal-only days. But thanks!

Put one in a an rda and measure it using your ohm meter. Oh wait, you do have an ohm meter, right?

 

[Johntodd]

Yes I do.
I think I will try it as 28ga using Steam Engine and see what happens.

DANG! Keys aren't working on my keyboard!

Thanks

EDIT: Got a new keyboard, so all the letters work now. All dumbness is purely coincidental.

I use 26G 6 wraps ID2.5mm @ 0.77 ohms at around 27 watts, works really well for me.

I've only had two atomizers that have come with pre-built coils. Both were Kanger Sub-tanks... and I believe both come with 28g Kanthal.

 

[Johntodd]

OK, so I built it with 28ga, 10 wraps each (dual), 2mm, rayon wick.

Why do I have to turn the wattage DOWN to get the same vape as before? It's cooler of course, but same clouds. I'm actually vaping at 13watts right now. No, they're not the thickest clouds in the world, but they are more than adequate for my tastes.

Same flavor, too!

Doubling coils increases heat while it lowers your resistance. The lower resistance, your coils will increase in temperature faster. The quicker your coils vaporize the e-liquid, the more vapor you'll produce.
