SOS!!! Flavour coils???

[RenaldoRheeder]

Whenever I try a new juice, I test it on one of my regulated mods at wattages ranging between 21 and 35 watts. That falls within my range of not-too-warm vaping. Most end up between 21-23, but I have a few that produces a wider range of flavors notes that only pop at higher wattages. This method "opened me up" to some juices that I would otherwise have ignored, because I couldn't discover the full spectrum of its flavors.

Hi @Juan_G

The thing about coils, resistance and power when it comes to flavour is that its all quite personal.

I have noticed that on a regulated mod, the power one tends to find oneself near to is the "true mech equivalent" power for that coil. So what @Jean claude Vaaldamme suggested above by putting it on bypass mode to see what power it is. Alternatively, you can use the ohms law equation which says P=Vsquared/R. With V of 4 volts, so 16/R should be somewhere around the true mech power for that coil. I.e. the power that would be generated if on a mech.

That's just a rough guide but I have found that on my regulated mods I am usually not far off that power.

Then there's the juice. Some juices just taste better at lower powers with higher resistance coils and others want more power with lower resistance coils.

You need to experiment till you find your happy place. It can take a while but dont be scared to change the coil type and resistance quite a bit to see what you prefer.

Broadly speaking from my own observations:
Higher resistance coils - say 0.5 ohms and up - lower power - around 30 Watts and lower - less clouds - cooler vape. Suited to fruity menthols for me - and some stronger nic juices - like tobaccoes

Lower resistance coils - say below 0.5 ohms (for me) - more power - say 50 Watts and up - more clouds - warmer vape typically. And I find this is better suited to dessert vapes - but I dont vape them often so this is not my usual style - the other guys would advise you better in this area.

Hi @Juan_G , you asked in the other thread whats the ideal wattage for a coil
Check out the post above, it may give you some further ideas
Its post number 23 - just scroll up
Hope it helps

100%. Sandvik wire also lasts forever. You will know it's Sandvik wire when you dry burn. They turn green as opposed to the blue that other wire turns. I only use Sandvik. 26x2/34 3mm id 6 wrap staggered fused claptons with Sandvik wire will surprise you. They should ohm out at 0.18 ohms.

link to website i want to buy some?

What does this wire look like? Can I only use the Sandvik by itself to roll a coil or is it used to make some fancy coils?

It looks like any wire spools. The wire burns greenish. It's ni80 all round, and you can use it as you use any other wire.
