You mean 80VG/20pg? 70/30 is best for eas of use, and it doesent spit up so bad as thinner juice. with 80vg I have found, that standard wicking doesen't work, you end up with burnt hits or vapour with barely any taste. Also the juice isnt supplied enough, your wire heats up, so the amps and volts do aswell as resistance goes up with wire heating, gradually. Dual battery in serial or parallel? Parallel you can add them up, volts remain same, in serial amps count by one and volts are added up.
Its series

Heys, you don't need lower ohms, you need a thinner wire. The ohms illustrate roughly how hard your bats/mod have to push to get the current flow, so maybe its running at its limits. 26gx32g is in my books a thick ... wire, in duals it will take even more amps and volts to get to the watts needed. Depends on the twist count, go lower on the twist counts, try maybe 4/5 twist and decide from there, if it goes too hot you can add a few, if it doesent ramp up as needed, you need a thinner wire. Lower ohm wire needs more flow to heat up, higher ohm will heat up better, but a thick low ohm wire needs a lot pushing from bats to heat up, so more volts. Lower ohm wire will need more amps. Maybe not entirely true, but the picture I roughly have in my head, when trying to make a build work.

Its all I know so far, hope it helps. The temperature is critical for the vaporation of e juice, the thickness of coil counts toward the volume of vapor, in high vg e juice its critical the mass of wire, that it can vaporate enough juice at once to produce a flavour at all, in thinner wire you need higher pg, cause they dont produce overall enough vapour to produce a sound flavour, while higher pg will make it easier to evaporate and PG carries massively more flavour, with thick coils it evaporates too fast, causing the temps to ramp up too rapidly, causing spitback and a too hot vape to handle, also the PG hit would be brutal.

So to get a good vape, all this has to line up perfectly.

Wish you luck, hope it will help you solve your issue.

That's not correct, you build to the atomiser not the ohms.

Air flow and the heat capacity of the coil or coils are what affects this, and the Tengu is a very airy dual coil RDA. So that means that you need something significant when it comes to coils, so that you get it in the decent working range.

Ill pass on SS then lmao i do have lost vape mods with quest, 2.0 chip that good ?

SS can be used in any mode, that's the great thing about it. Plus there's many that have sensitivities to other metals, but it was just an example so you now know what it looks like.

But you can get 0.8mm × 0.2mm 25AWG flat wire in Kanthal and Ni80 as well.

And also it's the simpler way to keep mass, resistance, heat capacity and ramp down. As you'll have more contact with the wicking when it's used.

And no ideas on TC with the LV Quest 2.0 chipset, as never used it. And you don't necessarily need to go with Evolv DNA for it either, YiHi does better TC than DNA can and there's 3rd party firmware for Eleaf Pico Squeeze 2 that is renowned over the net for great results.

Oh, and on the wicking side.

Have you heard of Rayon?

thats basically what I said, and it seems his coils were 2 much for his bat n mods, so yea, you can build to the max of your atomizer, until your bats can keep up. I read the posts about electric smell in the mod box battery chamber. But hey, whatever I never claimed to be the sharpest, just tried to help, and if it got you guys answering, it means my work is done and I can go get a nice cold ... beer.

SS is not good for starter vapers, you got to understand what you are doing, you can use rayon and this wick wont burn, but still your coil could go smoking so, overall it isnt the best option out there, just for allergics and when you want to conserve your battery life, considering taste, its not fantastic. Also what I've heard rayon also doesent contribute well to flavour, it just gets the job done.

Titanium is not used by a lot of beginners, as it can "only" be used in TC mode.

Stainless Steel can and is used by everyone, and it doesn't impart a flavor that some despise.

And as for rayon, go read both the threads.

K, I admit you to be the most awsome and educated person over the whole internet. Allow me humbly to admit my errors and apologize to the greatness of your mind and knowledge, oh the great all knowing being.

I cower back to the smudgy dank dunghole that spawned me, and never shall I ever open my stupid mouth again, for thou shalt drink my own blood from my own foolish skull.

May the wisdom, SS316l ribbon, the great power vested in molicel 18650 and the power of VG always be with you, and the crave for more steam light your path to vaping over the whole world of clouds that blot out the sun.

Byez! Shortly put, I am unfollowing this thread, I don't do well toxic, I vape.
