Hey guys ~ I know a lot of flavors are better at different watts.
From what I'm experiencing and reading, the fruity flavors aren't really very good w/ sub-ohm coils.
I currently have an Igo-W dual coils @ .6ohm.

I'm experiencing significant flavor loss...even w/ cotton.
My main question is...what types of flavors are the best in higher powered rba/RDAs?
Citrus/Fruit/Beverage/Dessert? etc.

Name your favorites that aren't too delicate, that have a great vape @ high power please. :)

DIY juice since sub ohms eats up so much juice and making juice is fun :D. I have only made a few juices that go flat in my dripper at sub ohm. They start off delicious and 3-4 puffs later taste chalky and depleted. With the Russian at around 1 ohm they still keep the flavor since fresh juice is being introduced every drag. I'm guessing the wire you are using is too skinny and has too much flash burn in a small area. Try a fatter wire and make sure you have enough air flow.

I'm rockin 28ga . Maybe I need 26. :)
Just made some new micros at around 1ohm trying to get some better flavor.
It's vaping really nice ~ air holes are drilled out....

I just need better juice for sub-ohming. lol. DIY is in the near future.

There's a few things it could be that I can think of. Your coil may be too tight on your wick which wont provide sufficient juice flow leading to a depleted taste. If you stuff rolled cotton into your coil make sure it's fairly fluffy and doesn't bulge at the end of the coils. It should slide in with very slight resistance. Juice it and allow it to expand inside your coils to a better fit. Make sure your boiling your cotton with 3 10m boils with a water change in between. This will get rid of some of the initial cotton funk and help with wicking. Play around with the height of your coils. Too high and the flavor isn't as strong, too low and the vapor production will drop. You can try folding one side of the cotton under your coils and pressing them against the cotton. Try to bring your coils near the edge of the deck without touching it and make them parallel with the air holes. I would recommend at least 1/16" holes for sub ohm to prevent cooking your juice. Also don't make your cotton wick too long as it will slow down the wicking and be a waste of juice. Hope that helps.

I've moved away from freehand wrapping for the most part in favor of the consistent results I get from using a drill bit. If I do wrap directly on the wick if it's ekowool or Nextel I will place a screw driver or similar object through the center of it and wrap my coils tight and touching, mount it, then remove the object from the hollow core. This will prevent choking the wick and it's just plain easier.
