what gauge kanthal?

[turbo450]

I am currently using an MVP 2 with and igo w.
I cant wrap any more coils than one for the life of me, they just don't heat up fast enough. I coil at 1.0ohm heats up fast. But 2 coils at 1 ohm take about 2 seconds to barely even glow red same for three coils.

Do different gauge kanthal heat up faster? I am using 30ga would 34 heat up faster?. The whole reason I bought a igo was to get more flavor and vapor production. I am recently drilled the air holes out which did significantly increased vapor production.

So is there any reason my MVP 2 won't power two coils?

I have no idea but I'll give you a bump back to page one so somebody that does can ansewr.

You do understand that by running 2 1.0 ohm coils, your resistance will be, . 5 ohms? An MVP simply won't power that.

 

[turbo450]

Yes I do. I just gave the total number. They are 2ohm each.

Even at 1, that may be pushing the mod. I don't know what the lower limit is

Could a 1.8 ohm coil heat faster the a 1 ohm?

1.2ohm is the minimum resistance on the MVP's.

That's strange? My MVP will fire a .8 all day? I'm actually running a .9 in my evod as we speak.

It shouldn't. The protection circuit cuts off anything below 1.2ohm by design. If it's firing at .08ohm your MVP has a problem with the protection circuitry.

I was led to undertsand .8 is the low limit on the MVP. I have a .9 ohm coil that works like mad on the MVP, I wont replicater it, because the vape is too hot for my taste, but Ill enjoy it for now.

To the original question I cannot answer, never tried that with an RDA, but dual coil clearomizers work just fine - although i usually run about 9 watts instead of 8 when it dual coiled, seems about right.

Mine cuts out at .7

thinner wire will heat up quicker....so yes. coil getting to hot go smaller gauge, not hot enough bigger
