Juice Guzzlers

[Viper_SA]

A recent thread on "juice mileage" got me thinking of starting this thread.
Post you builds on any RDA, BF or non-BF, and tell us about it. Coil ID, wire used, resistance, and whatever else you'd like to tell us.

To start off I'll post two Derringer builds I currently run as a BF setup on my two Terminator mods.

1:

Twisted 26G Kanthal A1, 3mm ID, 5 wraps each. Around the highish 0.2 ohm region. Very descent clouds and great flavor, as always on a Derringer

2:

Another Derringer. Running my tobacco juice. Aimed for around 0.6 ohm. 2.4mm ID coils, 9 wraps with 24G Kanthal A1. working great for nice long lazy lung hits.

Wow,awesome looking coils @Viper_SA
I like the second one at 0.6
So neat

But doesnt it give you too much "afterburner effect" with the 24g wire?

 

[Viper_SA]

@Silver not really as bad as in other attys. I have been using a lot of 22G recently, maybe I just don't hear it anymore... The 9 wraps does make it ramp up a bit "less fast", not really slow. Maybe I release the fire button before it gets hot enough to afterburn. Then again, I always loved Top Gun
Seriously though, I will have to listen for it and report back.

Apologise up front for the noob question, but what is "afterburner effect"?

I must try 24g on my Nuppin. Also dual coil, lomg lung hit. I suppose the afterburner is not so bad for the long lung hits because you can let go a bit before the end of the drag.

Lol, I asked that same question two weeks ago. I'll let @Silver give you the details, but basically the coils take very long to cool down and keep "firing" after the fire button has been released.

It's that sizzling sound after you let go of the firing button. Sounds like the coils are still firing.

Hi @DarkSide , no need to apologise
Its when the wire takes some time to cool down after youve stopped firing - so it vaporises a bit of juice while cooling. The thicker wires tend to display this more because there is more mass.

Wanna mention that to the medal committee?

Wish "the masters" would include a "confused" button or at least have a glossary of these terms / terminology for us novices.

No "master" here @DarkSide, just a dude having fun and experimenting.

It is noticed!

Yeah Right! (oh learned one) "having fun and experimenting"....if I tried this, probably end up electrocuting myself! Between you (learned one) @Andre (mentor) and @free3dom (master), I will get there, might take another light year, but I WILL get there!

Here is my "bad-juice-gorge"......
and occasionally some good one too. 3mm ID, 22G Kanthal A1 dual coils. 6 wraps each coming to aroun 0.2 ohm on the CLT v3
Runs beautifully off my Punk Slug and Vanilla mod.

Decided to play around last night. Did a 2-strand-twisted 22 awg coil. 3mm ID and 7 wraps. Came to 0.18 Ohm, but the ramp-up time was horrid. Dropped it to 6 wraps today, came in at 0.12 Ohm. My lowest build ever. Here it is in the Velocity on the Dimitri.
