Thick and weird wire

[kimbo]

Me and @hands were talking this morning and we could not understand the thing about thick wire, or clapton or some weird wire. Let me explain

We both started with quite a small device and recoiled with 32guage wire, both of us were heavy smokers and even with that thin wire in the small tanks the vape was very satisfying, i mean if it was not vaping would have never done it for me.

A wile ago the only ppl that really did the thick / weird wire were the cloud chasers.

I coiled my Kayfun yesterday with a clapton, but later i replaced it with a normal 28guage single coil, and i must say the vape for me is even more satisfying, i can take a five, seven second drag and really taste the nice juice. There is no ramp up time, the coil cools down fast, the tank dont heat up. I dont have to crank my mod to the extremes so that the poor battery dies 3, 4 hours later, but i can go comfortable for a full day and even more.

Personal view: What is the fascination with getting as much vaper as you can as fast as possible in your lungs before the atty is so hot that it burns you lips.

We are convinced we are doing something wrong

If you install 2 coils as apposed to 1 and they were all +/- identical would you not need to double the wattage to get to the same flavour/vapour production.

I dont know ohms law by heart but that would make sense as to why you do not get the same flavour? Maybe?

Yeah, not sure about wattage being doubled and all however I do suspect a lack of wattage to be the cause.

Okay so I did a dual coil build with 26g ss316 wire, replacing my dual fused claptons. I have to be honest, the vape is much cooler, flavour slightly less and also less vapour. I am a flavour chaser but I do like clouds as well so this is a bit dissapointing so far, however, I've only had it in for an hour now and still playing around with watt mode and TC to see if I can get my sweet spot using single wire instead of claptons. I really hope it works out on single wire because claptons are much heavier on juice and batteries.

I will update at the end of the day where I will decide whether I'm going back to the fused claptons or staying with this build.

Hi
If you can space the 26g coils
I spaced my 28g coil and the flavor is better than normal compressed coil (for me)

I actually thought about that just after I posted and did it quickly, much better now. I see where the whole "flavour more crisp" comes from now. Think I'll leave this build in for the next week and see how my batteries and juice hold up but so far it's good and the flavour much better than before I spaced the coils. The tank also doesnt heat up like with the claptons and for me that's a big bonus.

totally agree with OP.
claptons giving more flavor is a myth. if you disagree, then its because everyone told you claptons give the best flavor and you are experiencing a placebo effect.
dont get me wrong, claptons and all that other fancy coils looks freaking awesome!

me, i vape of a ugly coil. 26/24 G wire. 5 to 6 wraps. 2.5 to 3mm ID. 20w.
my clouds are decent, flavor is great and my juice and batteries last way longer than any other clapton setup.

they say you eat with your eyes. so maybe because an ugly coil looks ugly, your brain is telling your tastebuds that its not a nice vape. and with a nice looking claptop, your brain tells you, wow thats a beautiful coil, so your taste buds comply and say, wow what awesome flavor.

i had people taking a pull of my vape and they were like wow thats a good vape, and then i show them the coil, and they cant believe. why, because their brain did not have the chance to tell them that is is an ugly coil so the vape will be kak.

do yourself a favor. go buy some Smash (mash potato packets) make one as normal, and one with green food coloring (remember that food coloring has no taste additives.
give them to some one blind folded they will tell you it tastes the same.
now give it to them so they can see, and they will tell you the green ones tastes bad..

trust me, its a good experiment.
