Afternoon all, having become pretty acquainted with my vamo, a few other VV/VW devices and making low ohm single micro coils in my UD agi I decided to step the tinkering up and purchase a mechanical mod and an IGO - W, the second version with holes in the posts and twin air flow, but boy do I have some questions.
I'm still waiting on the mod in the post but I've been tinkering with dual coiling the igo and my preferred vaping method is with a micro coil, now I can't do two of these with .28 kanthal because the size of the coil in regards to diameter or length is a bit big for what room I've got to play with, due me needing to have the over all resistance at 1.2 ohms for my Vamo. So currently I'm using .32 kanthal around a small weeny screwdriver with 14 or so wraps. These come out at 3.4 ohm each and 1.8 ohm together on my IGO-W.
However, I'm finding .32 kanthal a PITA to work with when making micro coils, either I'm a big lumbering oaf or its very fragile stuff and easy to mess up when wicking and tweaking them and ohhhh god the springyness, THE SHEER SPRINGYNESS. Beause of this I much prefer and can make a much better coil i think, with .28 kanthal.
Now when my mech mod arrives I'll be looking at ordering an AW IMR 18650 2000mah battery as it's what I've seen recommended, but don't know how to find out what sub ohm resistances it can work safely with and if I could even make twin micro coils with .28 kanthal, that would be a high enough resistance. I know there won't be much problem with a single micro coil as I can wrap one easily to 1.2/1.4 ohms.
My maths is quite frankly terrible, I'm surprised I've understood as much this far in! I've watched numerous explanation videos on sub ohming and all that perlaver but I'm looking for someone to explain it to me in laymans terms, I'm still confused by amps and discharge ratings?
At the moment I've just got a plain jane 2000 mah *cough* ICR 18650 that came free with my vamo, I'm guessing that won't be safe to use in a sub ohm mech mod build but what about a mech mod firing on my other build, a single 1.2ohm coil for example? I'm guessing I don't have to worry to much about dropping into sub ohms with the AW IMR battery though.
And how does a dual micro coil vs a single micro coil both set up at .8ohms affect battery life for example? As I've heard dual coils are a big drain.
One more thing, I have excess .28 and .32 laying around which is why I've referred to only those wires, if a .30 has a lack of springyness like .28 then all my problems could potentially be solved? I just find micro coiling .32 to be such a hard and rarely rewarding task as it's so easy to mess up
