What Build

[PrinceVlad]

Hi Guys.

I got my first build in the Cyclone. I was in a rush and built it at 1.2 Ohm. What build can I use that is say between 0.7 and 0.9 just to give me a little bit more vapour?

Just a suggestion. Use 24 gauge Kanthal on a 3mm Outer dimension with 3 full turns. Try it let us know

For me my happy place on a Cyclone is 27g Kanthal 7 wraps 1,5mm tight micro coil.

I only have 26 guage at this stage.

Dual 28g Nichrome 1.5ID 9wraps 0.4ohms = Happy place

I do 28 awg KA1 paracoils, or straight up SS 316L on a 1.6 - 2mm ID.

 

[Viper_SA]

on 26 awg, try around 7-9 wraps on 2mm ID

Ok, so I changed my coil to a 26 guage, 6 wraps running at about 0.7Ohm. Compared to the weekends coil its got more vapour, but the flavour is just not there. I've tried both VM4 and XXX and nothing. The flavour is very faint if I taste anything. Most of the time its just vapour and no flavour. What am I doing wrong?

On what ID did you build?

 

[PrinceVlad]

On what ID did you build?

2 mm. It almost feels as if the battery is not giving power. With the cap off you press the button and it takes a while to make any vapour. With a fully charged battery its not any better

Try building it as low to the deck as possible, and angle it slightly upwards on the outside, i.e. negative post side. Then make sure the air hole sits right in the middle of the coil and get the coil as close to the air hole as possible. I have fired plenty 26awg builds with no issues

I'll try that. How long does a battery last on average? Maybe its just the battery. On my Dripbox a battery lasted the whole day, today I put in a fresh battery and by 12 it struggled to generate any vapour

I change my battery after half a Reo bottle (so that's after 3ml on the Grand)

 

[PrinceVlad]

This was after maybe a quarter bottle. This thing makes so little vapour I didnt even finish a bottle over the weekend

This may sound stupid. But can a driptip have any influence on the flavour an atty gives? Tried two different driptips and I swear it tastes different

I believe it does make a difference.

 

[PrinceVlad]

I used it with the wooden driptip, but theres no flavour. I used my Velocity with the Wooden tip and the plastic tip and there is a difference. This Cyclonenis slowly but surely spoiling my REO experience. Anybody want to trade a cyclone???

Have you drilled out the air hole, if not you need to set it up for MTL. I would try a narrow bore drip tip.

Have not drilled out the air hole. How do you set it up for MTL? And the driptip is quite narrow.

P.S are you still using your Avo 22 and AIO

Another thing are you sure you not over squonking, this will flood the chamber, and give the feeling that there's no power when you hit the fire button. Trying firing it numerous times without squonking and see what happens

 

[Stephen]

Still using the Avo, gave the Aio to a staff member who needs to get off the stinkies before having an op.

@PrinceVlad, I did a build on my cyclone using a paper clip for the ID on my woodvil mini. The whole concept being to maximise surface area by reducing the ID. I posted it a couple of days ago.

You don't have to go to that extreme but I'd start with a basic micro coil wrapped around 1.5 mm, positioned as close to the perimeter as possible without shorting against the cap. I also position the coil with only the top half aligned to the air hole.

By the way my air hole is drilled out to 1.5 mm.

 

[Andre]

Yip, drip tips surely makes a difference.

I wonder if you do not have a contact issue somewhere with that Cyclone.

 

[PrinceVlad]

I checked, no flooded chamber. @Andre how would I be able to tell that there is a contact issue?

"It almost feels as if the battery is not giving power." could be a symptom. Could be the 510 pin on the atomizer not quite contacting the mod or one of the posts.
