RDA coil for flavour...

[FreeVapeGirl]

I have to say that I am in love with my Profile RDA. Mesh coil with large surface area. It uses a huge wick that rarely becomes dry, especially if you run it on a squonk mod.

Big Volts. I have coils that need 8V to work properly and for that I need series mech because I don't have a regulated mod that'll do that, no matter how high I set the Watts.

8V sounds a hell of a lot but the coil shown below is nearly .6Ω so it's only just over 100W. It's a twisted 2x24 with a 6mm bore so lots of metal on there. Why? Surface area. I only use that type of coil on that particular deck because it sits very low so is a really good squonker, which it needs to be because at 100W it only gets about three hits dripping and I can't be arsed with that when I'm writing.

So, according to what you are saying here, you are using a dual battery, series wired, mech mod. squonker.
Rather a specialized bit of kit, in fact I don't think I have ever seen one.

No, like yourself I don't know of such a beast and I'm not brave enough to build one myself. I'm saying I need 8V to work that coil to its optimum. When I wrote that post I had a choice of either drip it on a series mech for the Volts or squonk it on a regulated mod for the convenience. The mod in the pic is a DTK which for reasons I don't understand would not, according to its display, output more than 7.4V no matter how high I set the Watts. I have since acquired a Pulse dual squonk mod and that one does go to 8V so all's good now.

Coil choice is subjective, what suits me may not suit you. I use Smut coils, Ni80/SS316 fused claptons, NiFe30 (for TC) & Brochrome. All depends what I'm building for, mech or regulated, RTA/RDA. A great coil can be shit in one attie but be the dogs in another.

Couldn't agree more, brochrome in my mechs, NiFe30 for TC in my MTL setups and SS316 fused claptons in my regulated devices.

Amazing I may have to try these fused Clapton [emoji119]
