Ended Wow! Koopor & Smok Giveaway - 200 Koopor Plus and 200 TFV4 Mini's to be won

For 90W output, the readout on the atty side would be what crxess said. If you measured on the battery side, how many amps drawn at the current output voltage of the battery, you would have >90 W from the battery.

I've got a dual fused ribbon Clapton build on a Twisted Messes that measures at 0.15 ohms. I'm vaping it at 90 watts and because the resistance is so low, it is only pulling 3.79 volts from the batteries.

Heres a question for you all. I am getting my first rebuilables coming in and have no experience building coils so I want your advise/recommendations. What gauge wire do you work with what does the gauge affect in a coil?

 

[masterofvape]

not if it has a moving cheerleader screensaver on it.mesmerizing it is.not that I have one,I'm just saying it wouldn't be a tough job.

ROFL yes then ofcourse it will not be and other people will also join in and we will end up throwing a party in office only to watch it. Maybe we will extend the shift as well.

Just like a power inverter..... If higher than supply, more wattage (or A) is drawn than given. If lower than supply, less wattage (or A) is drawn

Absolutely You'll get inefficiency no matter what, unfortunately.

Righto, with a lot of amperage drawn.....

I generally use 26 gauge. Most of my RDA's are dual post Velocity style RDA's so I can do fairly large coils (8 or 9 wrapped spaced coils) and that gives me a target resistance of about 0.45 to 0.5 ohms. The large the gauge number, the thinner the wire is. This means you will have a higher resistance and the wire will heat up quicker. A lot of people will use 24 or even 22 gauge wire, which will be fairly thick, with a lower resistance (around 0.2 ohms) and will take a bit longer to heat up.

Even with 26 gauge wire, I will press the fire button the mod about half a second to a second before I start inhaling because at around 35-40 watts, it takes about a second before the coil heats up enough to start vaporizing juice. Thicker wire will also be stiffer so it will hold it's shape better.

And I'm vaping it on a XCube II with dual LG HG2 20 amp 3000 mah batteries and the batteries are not being overloaded. The batteries still remain cool to the touch.

I'm watching Buffy The Vampire Slayer...

This is ONE of my favorite shows EVER....

Been gone a while today. CONGRATS WINNERS! !!! Good luck every body else tomorrow !!!!

I just realized that I joined ECF exactly 2 years ago today...one of the best things I ever did!

Smile..... If you had only one battery, it would be different since for dual regulated mods, power drawn is split between these two batteries.

Burns out, or gunks up?
A proper coil should not burn out. I have RTA's with 3-4 month old and older coils still working fine. An occasional cleaning and re-wick and they are good to go.
Handy when coil building is very limited.

Ends up with burnt and dry hits very fast like within days of being a new coil.

 

[crxess]

Righto, but battery do drain faster if it regulates above 4 volts or so...... In other words, it gives out 15A but drains more out from battery. Is that so?

7.5a per, not to bad

Congrats to today's winners.

Congrats! Ya will never go back so there will be another 2 and then 4 and so on...... guaranteed. Yeah.....?



No, it will end once six feet under.

Understood thanks for the great explanation. I was seeing most people talk about 28 gauge and while I knew it would be thicker with lower gauge (same as a needle) I didnt know what that meant for anything else so when I ordered I just got 28 gauge. I plan on taking it in to my local B and M when it arrives to have a little bit of a learning to build a coil. They are really good there and they actually teach a lot on vaping.

But at 6V

Hey guys. How's your night going?

@justagurlinseattle take your tail to the doctor!!! Tomorrow! Please i know you said you would... But do it for sure!!

@anjelvape77 feel bett soon darlin

@Kodak how are doing?

@LouisLeBeau you sir always give me a giggle!

@crxess have i told you today that you are a fantastic (and one of my favorite) "grumpy old man"

Thank you.......I aim to please........eye sight is shot, but I still try


Oh................shiny........what, errr.......
