RTA MTL: What coils & wattage do you use. And why?

[Deleted member 54254]

I have just ordered my first MTL 24 FL full kit. I like the thought of more flavour and less juice being used. Will make my own fine N80 claptons tho.

I suspect he means a Dvarw 24mm FL

thats the one but in black and got the 6ml kit too
And have just subbed to that channel, he very honest it seams

As soon as my new tank comes i am going to try plain n80 round wire first, just to see

I use Ni80 27g sometimes too. With my standard build it comes out a bit lower at about 0.8 ohm. Ramps up a bit quicker than kanthal.

Well i def got some 26g & 28 n80 so will def give them ago, before i try a little clapton. But to be fair if you get your wicking right i don't think there is that much difference

Agree with you. 'Simples' is usually enough for MTL.

i always use 29g stainless wire and usually 13.9w. i don’t really check the resistance but just looked and this one says 0.87Ω. usually just make the same coil. small screwdriver sized and about 8 wraps, i think.

I thought the work would end once you'd assembled it; but from that vid it looks like a lotta ongoing work.

Will be worth it tho, I hope once i have found the right inserts that suit my style

I'm still not sure what my "style" is; so I'll stick to something simpler for a while.

Usually, unless using something like a Coilology Alien, I stay very much with .30 Kanthal 2.5id 5 Spaced wraps. Just works perfectly for me and takes all the guesswork out of things as I have become increasingly lazy
I have used Spaced Winds really since I started building in late 2012. Again, they just "work" for me.
RTAs in particular have advanced SO much and I haven't kept up. I admit, I have remarkably little interest in things that require considerable wattage to really get going, but that's just me being Old School AND preferring a Cooler temperature to my vape.
I had a LOT of more modern RTAs go through my hands recently and admit, they all looked decidedly the opposite of anything that I know and understand So I tend to stick with what I know and enjoy the vape that they give me.
In recent times, due to health issues, I found that I was increasing my wattage "slightly" to compensate, but still hardly ever pass 20 watts, unless dabbling with Temperature Control, when I "might" reach a heady 23 watts!!!

Basically, everything I build is "simple". Why? Well it works for me
Someone asked me why I use .30 Kanthal so much? Simply because I have Tonnes of it!! For Temp Control I use SS316L, again, because I have MILES of it!!

The KISS principle works well for me and my lazy approach. Keep It Simple Stupid.
Inserts etc? I leave those to the far more knowledgable than I. If I ever need to fine tune, I have my own way of producing the same result that reducers give. But that's boring and for another day.
