But it's getting there and so easy to build, I seriously like it, I think cause it's new kanthal and cotton it might take a day to burn in, the flavour is starting to pop and with the build I did I'm not getting any spitting, no dry burns but I am using it in squonk mode, my mesh strip came in at 0.13 ohm and running nearly 20 amp but that's ok with dual 25rs on the topside,vaping at 45 watts
I mostly use the OFRF Kanthal mesh. Prefer this over the stock Wotofo but found the differences were subtle.
Cotton is mostly 3/4 of a muji pad with the harder outer layer removed. There is no breaking in, instant flavour. Never experienced spitback unless the deck was flooded, and even then it was rare. Wicking lasts about 4 times longer than a typical coil using the same juice.
The current rating you are seeing on the screen of your Topside is the coil current, not battery current. World of difference with a regulated device.
The regulated circuit has an Input (battery) and Output (coil) - the battery has no idea what the coil resistance is. The regulated circuit is only requesting power plus a little extra for efficiency, based on your wattage setting from the battery. Current draw will be dependent on the battery voltage…as voltage depletes, current increases to meet your prescribed wattage.
We calculate max current draw with a regulated device based on the devices voltage cut off, which is typically 3.2 volts. 45 watts/ number of cells/ 3.2 volt cut off/ device efficiency (approx. 90%) = current draw per battery. So…45/2/3.2/0.9 = 7.8 amps. Call it 8 amps per cell. Think you OK with using Samsung 25R’s
Current draw at the coil is Voltage/Resistance. First voltage is assigned based on your coil resistance and power setting. So Voltage = √Power x Resistance, V = √45 watts x 0.13 ohms = 2.42 volts. 2.42 volts/0.13 ohms = 18.7 amps. Close enough to 20 amps.
