Hi Guys...
I posted this question over at ECF but am posting it here too...
I'm still rather new to rebuildables (about a month) so please bear with me..
I have a fogger v4 and a trident v2 (clone). Both of them are set up as outlined below. I also should mention that the trident has its dual airholes drilled to 3mm (from 2.5mm i think).
Trident V2: Dual coil, 8 wraps of 28g Kanthal A1, (inner) coil diameter is 3mm. Comes out to about 0.94ohms.
Fogger V4: Dual coil, 9 wraps of 28g Kanthal A1, (inner) coil diameter is 2.5mm. Comes out to about 1.2ohms.
Now, when I vape the same juice (50:50) blend, 6mg nicotine, on a Hana clone @ 23watts, without doubt the trident v2 puts out a bigger cloud. But the throat hit is mild and 'just nice' for me. In the fogger v4, with airhole wide open, @ 23 watts, the throat hit is so strong that I can't vape it! Bringing down the power to 15 watts, still very strong but I can manage about one draw. Bring it even lower, at 13 watts, and I manage (barely) to vape it.. But at 13 watts, vapor production is quite low.
So, my first question is, why the drastic difference in throat hit (i'm doing lung inhale btw)? I think it is because the trident has (much) more airflow and this keeps the coil and the whole build cooler when taking a hit. The fogger on the other hand has reduced airflow (quite a lot compared to the trident v2), and add that with the small build deck and the fact that everything is closed in a small chamber, I believe that the coils are getting too hot and this is causing the throat hit to be very strong? Is this the case? What do you guys think?
My second question is, how do I get the fogger to perform as smooth as the trident v2? Don't get me wrong, the vapor production is there almost on par with the trident, but the throat hit is too strong for me. What should i do? I can't go too low with the power on 28g kanthal with 9 wraps, they hardly heat up enough to produce enough vapor for a decent throat hit. Should i go with a higher ohm build using higher gauge wire, say 30g kanthal and possibly around 2-2.4ohms?
Any suggestion guys???
