From a Nautilus mini to what now?

[Andre]

I made a few coils with 24ga Kanthal a1, 0.6 ohm.

It's a thick wire gauge, easy to build and not extreamely springy, I do however believe that the 26 or 24 ga will produce a better flavour.

Can anyone advise?

Yes, the thicker the wire the more power you need to drive it. For the Subox with Subtank I personally would recommend 26/27/28 gauge, depending on your preferred resistance couples with enough real estate. E.g., 26 g for 0.5 ohms and below, 27/28 g for anything above 0.5 ohms.

Hi @Andre

I ordered the wrong wire and made the best of what I had on hand over the holidays, it took some work to get 0.6 ohm from a 24ga wire in the subtank, but managed to do so.

So much more vape and flavour

Yay awesome dude! To rebuild is just a winner. Now go get some Stainless steel wire and see

First build cheating since the 'wire' was preinstalled

Coil looks good, try a little less wick, looks like you might get some dry hits?

Oh I cut the cotton when I put it in the RBA None yet but I only hit it at 10W.

Great stuff. Should work great. What ohms is the coil giving?

2.5 Not sure if that is good or not

But I think I will buy a thicker kanthal so the cotton can be fed through easier

What wire gauge are u currently using?

I have no idea what the one they give you is. I guess 26?

Best experience I've had on the kangertech is Clapton wire.

I use 32 over 26ga Clapton
5 wraps
2.5mm Inner Diameter

Should come out at 0.5ohm, Good vapor production and the best flavor I've achieved from any kenthal coil in the RBA
