Goon RDA vape to hot

[Miss Pepper]

I want to be able to vape... and only a warm vape, not to hot.
How many ohm have your build to vape at 38w?
What is the wire, to quick heat up?

The one is 0.3 goon

Nichrome is used by a lot of members

 

[Miss Pepper]

Where is ideal place for the coils? Same level, above or under the air flow?

If you've got a dual coil at .13 I'm guessing you've either not got many wraps or you're using a pretty thick kanthal. I'd go with the latter as you mention it has a noticeable ramp up if you drop the watts.
You've two options.
One is to, if possible, set up a pre heat on your mod. This will give you a punch anything from 10-30 % more than the displayed wattage for x amount of time then drop to whatever wattage you've set. Handy when you've got big bastard coils that need a bit of help to get them going. I'm using it on a Maxo setup at the minute but not all mods have it. What've you got?
The second option is ditch the kanthal in favour of stainless steel, nichrome or a blended wire. Kanthal has a long ramp up time when the gauge starts getting thick and also takes a long time to cool. So if you've left your Goon for a few minutes and have two toots in quick succession toot one may be lovely, but toot two a few seconds later will be like ingesting Lava because those fat kanthal coils are still very hot. SS and Ni80/60 heat and cool much quicker than kanthal.

As an example I've got a few Goons, the one I have at the minute has a 22g 60/40 Flatwire build in it that comes in at .11, and I'm running it at 140w. It's warm but not hot, and the airflow is wide open.
But the crucial part is that it's a blended wire- 20 seconds after firing it it's cooled down.

Maybe build your coils and aim for something a little higher as a regular kanthal build shouldn't take long to ramp up. Can you post a photo of your build?

Cheers

You are right, I have 7 wraps, 3.5mm diameter.
I will try a build with another wire.
Any link to a good place to get the right wire for me?
Thank you

Lol, I'd be a bit redundant, I would have said that hehe . ^^^^^^^^

Try this:
http://www.stealthvape.co.uk/index.php?route=mobile_store/product&product_id=614

Go for the 22g. It's a flat wire so your surface area will be greater. More surface area= more juice being vapourised = more vapour and better flavour.
Do a dual 6 wrap around a 3mm bit and try to position the coils so that when you look through the airflow of the Goon you're looking at the lower half of the coils. This way the air will almost come in underneath the coils giving you better flavour and keeping your coils cooler. It should come in at .15 -.19 dependant on your leg length.

As it's nichrome it's going to ramp up quick. 50 watts will work fine- start around there and go up 5 watts at a time and see where you like it. Then leave it there.

What's your mod?

Or,

www.wireandstuff.co.uk (Crazy Wire Company).

Both sell great selections of SS316L or Ni80 (NiChrome), available in flat wire or standard round wire. Or, Crazy Wire sell premade SS clapton or twisted wire too for example. Lots of choices .

Check out www.steam-engine.org as well. Use the coil builder and the wire wizard and you can plan your coils before you even build them and you may find it useful to help you choose the right wires too
