Advice on SupremE RDTA gauge

[henry6000]

Heey guys was just looking for some advice!

Not been building for that long and just treated myself to the steam crave RDTA. Getting super confused over gauge though and was looking for some advice on wire gauge. Currently running dual 24 at 0.4 ohm, like vaping around 40 watts but finding the flavour isn't quite there, could it be the gauge wire as also has massive ramp up time, and what gauge would you recommend for that sort of range?

Personally I stopped normal coils. Bought some Clapton wire premade spindle for a few quid. On the supreme I do 4-5 wraps of 27G Clapton on 3mm vertical. This comes to 0.35ohms which is my sweet spot. Wattage wise I do 24-26w usually. Using 85VG so I set the nice flow as follows.
Fill tank to top. Close and fully open juice control. Let the liquid go down. Close juice control. Top up tank.
Let it sit for 5 minutes.
Found that letting the wick get properly soaked made for a cleaner vape. As for flavour. I set the air flow the middle setting or half full open.

Thanks a lot! Sorry only just seen this. I'll give that a go tonight! been using twisted 28 horizontal at 0.41 ohm. Flavours been a lot better but compared to my last tank (uwel crown 0.5) and my dripped I'm getting loads of throat hot which is weird, feels way stronger than 6mg! But I'll give the vertical claptons a go

The variables with rebuildables are huge and it sounds like first steps on the journey for you if you've just switched from the Crown tank. Yoyu haven't mentioned what mod you're using.

The Supreme is an awesome tank, right up there amongst the very best for flavour and vapour production. As you've discovered by now the airflow is massive, the deck's easy to build on, the wicking and juice flow will keep up with chain vaping high VG, subohm at high power very easily.

Whilst the RDTA v1 and v2 are ideal for vertical coil builds, due to the adustable airflow direction, the Supreme has fixed airflow with a long horizontal slot ... even the AFC is designed to keep the air shape long. For this reason the Supreme, IMHO is much more suited to horizontal builds than the RDTA.

An easy and successful build is 6 slightly spaced wraps of 26/32 clapton wire, 3.00mm ID, installed horizontally and centred for height between the post holes. This will position the coils dead in front of the two airholes. You can experiment with lifting the coils a little higher to see how it affects the flavour. I start at about 40W to break in the coils/wicks then vape around 60W with airflow between the narrowest and mid width setting. At full airflow I find the flavour drops off but the clouds are immense.

Thanks so much! Wasn't sure if it was just the 6mg nic but it was fine in the crown at the same wattage, although was thinking of lowering it to 3 anyway. Using VV, snowwolf mini. It is the rust step into rebuild able really! Cool thanks so much I'll give it a go. Heard great things but mine just tastes so harsh!

A harsh vape?
Hmmm, I take you back to the huge number of variables again ... the differences between the Crown and the Supreme are massive ... having the same wattage is not enough to get the same vape. Have fun with your rebuilding.

Thanks! Think to be honest it's the nicotine. Going to try the claptons with 3mg, I guess the crown all through having pretty descent air flow at 6mg on 40 watts is going to be less of a hit than the supreme at 50watts. Had a look and it's the same feeling I'm having as a nictotine too high
