First attempts at rebuilding... Nimbus clone

[drstevo]

Hey guys,

I got the Nimbus clone today and this build is probably my third build that has any decent vapour production. I'm using Silica wick ... 2mm and .20 kanthal with around 6 wraps. Problom is, vapour production is only decent in the sense its similar to an EVOD etc ... What can I do to get good clouds without sub ohms? 6 wraps is coming in at 3 ohms! using 9 watts power. Anyway, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Silica frayed a lot when trying to tuck under coil and im using Mrs B Vanilla Custard.

Again, all replies/suggestions greatly appreciated.

Steve

You don't have some 28 gauge wire ? I've never used 20, also what kinda battery do you have if I may ask... That should be the first step to safety

 

[drstevo]

its actually 32 gauge or .2 mmm I'm using it on my Vamo just until I get more experience in building. With short circuit protection, cant go wrong

Oooooh thought you were on a mechanical, have you looked into micro coils? I'm sure someone here could help you more since I've never owned a VV mod. Sorry

the first thing is do get the ohms down, your looking for half what you got as a starting point. Maybe a micro coil as your getting 3ohms from 6 wraps, so th get 1.5 with the coiling you got now your only looking at 3 wraps. try 4 wraps but coil a little tighter ? there are loads of videos on the micro coil, look some up and maybe get some .25 or .3 kanthal with your next order. The other thing i find helps is to try and move the coil "up" so its not below the air hole, make sure the coil the same or higher then the air hole.
