Up until this, I've been rocking it on an AeroTank Mega. I was able to use the stock coils (not the enclosed ones - I use the older ones that still have exposed wicks). I replaced the silica/fiberglass/whatever those were, with organic cotton and it pretty much produced the most vapor AND flavor I'd ever vaped as far as a tank went.
However, with all the hype around RBA's and how you can't beat the vapor and flavor of those, I picked up an IGO-W and sat it on my MVP 2.0.
As far as "cloud chasing" and "sub ohming" (what sub ohming? on this battery anyway) it hasn't been meeting my expectations. It's not bad, but it hasn't been outperforming my AT Mega at all. (right now the AT Mega still performs better, if anything)
My first build/attempt was a dual micro coil, 30 guage Kanthal, 8 wraps around a bit screwdriver (approximately 1/16th inch or 2 mm's - yeah, that's what my ruler measured). It came out to about 0.9 ohms between the two microcoils, and after enough reading around I figured that due to amp limits, even 11 watts on my MVP wasn't going to do much good on this low of a resistance.
Today I tried a higher resistance dual coil and it averages out 1.5 ohms (oddly enough if the coils are cold it'll start off at 3-4 ohms, but after the initial fire it drops to 1.8 and then 1.5). 12 wraps each micro. One coil blazes up instantly on a dry fire, dual coils take infinitely longer to heat up.
(I should also add, I removed the first O-ring on the IGO-W's base - the top cap was just too hard to press on and take off until I did that, and now it's much easier. It doesn't leak, though - I tested by plugging the airholes and taking a draw. Couldn't do it.)
I did the whole procedure with winding and torching while under compression with tweezers, and even realized I was positioning the airholes (which are tiny to begin with on an IGO-W) right over the coils - those should be high enough above the deck to be above the airholes, silly me - and no matter what, despite the fact that I won't be able to output the plumes of vapor, I find that the flavor probably still isn't up to it's full potential.
It gets more complicated because based on what I've read, 11 watts at a lower voltage and ohms resistance isn't the same as 11 watts at a higher voltage and resistance - one consumes more amps than the other and I have to respect the MVP 2.0's 3.5 amp limit. Even so, I still felt like I should be within the amp limits (Unless I'm wrong).
Someone help me out here - what am I doing wrong? I know there's a limit to using an MVP 2.0 with a dripper, but I feel like I haven't even reached halfway to that point.
