Best builds, Watts and juice

[Nightwalker]

So for example, I find the following to be best.
Juice: vape alchemys pipe
Build: dual 26g twisted 3mm ID kanthal
Watts: 60W
TC temp: N/A

I have a "goto" setup that just works perfectly

Its my mouth to lung "thumper setup" on the Reo/RM2

Juice - two thirds WB Blackbird, one third AV Bobas Bounty. Aka "Blackbobas". 18mg
Build - 0.45 ohm paracoil with 29g kanthal. (5 double wraps). 1.6mm ID. Jap cotton wick.
Atty - RM2 with stock airhole
Watts - about 35-39W depending on battery level

Crispy owing to the thin wire and small ID. Perfect vaporisation. Delicious flavour. Strong throat hit. Three toots and im sorted for at least 10 minutes

@Rob Fisher , that looks so simple and easy
Hides all the effort and pain from all the setups and juices you have tried to get to that combo

Yip it does indeed... but I must say I have those 2 setups and no matter what the pain and anguish is with all the other crap I play with these two carry me through!

Juice - Crimmy's Key Lime Yoghurt and recently my own DIY version of this

I'm really interested in these 1.5mm ID's.
Everytime I try them I burn the cotton.
My go to build is :
2.5mm ID
316L SS 26 AWG
6 or 7 wraps
Usually 0.5 ohms unless it's dual coils then 0.25 ohms
Cotton bacon/fibre freaks depending on the juice.
For tanks I do the same but the ID goes to 3mm.
Juice Amazon by ELP.
The setup is fairly standard for almost all attys.
Edit: Roughly 40W and mostly all cyclones

Hi @Christos, i tried the 1.6mm ID using stainlesss steel wire, but the resistance is about halved and too much power for that little diameter (and juice in the wick presumably) so it was not great. Too crisp and a bit of burning. I opened it up to 2mm and it was much better but then the crispness went away and it was too "dense" if that makes sense. Still a nice vape.

But for me for 1.6mm iD, the kanthal still seems to be in the sweet spot with regard to ohms versus the type of coil that i like. I probably have to experiment more with SS though.

I never took heat flux into account.
Thank you for pointing that out.

What resistance is that @Cespian ?

 

[Cespian]

What resistance is that @Cespian ?

Comes out to between 0.75 and 0.83 usually. That cricket needs beastly builds.

Doesn't really matter theese days. I presume most of us have a dripper or a tank that can take decent builds

Haha, I can only imagine the spit back (if the wick was wet)

I fired a 0.5ohm build I had in the plume veil once... once... hehe. I reckon anything below 0.7 is asking for trouble. The best build I had for the Cricket was a 15wrap 26gauge Kanthal that came out to 1.1ohm... nice and tame. I dont build too tame for this mod though because thats what my regulated mods are for.

All I can say is that the 0.4 was vicious. It wasnt spit back - it was like a ferocious dragon woke up in there and kicked and screamed while blowing fireballs down my throat. I was surprised at the madness from such a small and "tame" looking device. Love the feel in the hand.

Yip, kinda reminds me of a puffer fish. Looks cute and cuddly but probably one of the most dangerous things to encounter if not handled properly.
