Heat Flux via Steam Engine is something I've only just started looking into & it's fascinating me
Usually, if the vape was too warm, I'd turn the wattage down, if it felt too cool, I'd turn it up
Now, my usually MTL setup is 1.2 ohms, 2.5mm rod, 6 wraps on 28g Kanthal build. Vape that at 12w, 178 mW/mm2 & it's a cool vape, about what I like
Now, over to a more airier tank. A duel coil 0.70 ohm, 3mm rod, 10 wraps on 26g Kanthal build. To vape that at the same Heat Flux would take 55w but the vape & tank gets too warm, even with more airflow & a larger chamber than the MTL RTA
That's the first thing, I can't get my head around
Secondly, if I were to build a 1.20 ohm coil on at 2.5mm rod, 8 wraps on 26g Kanthal build to get the 178 mW/mm2 Heat Flux you'd need to vape that at 24w. On the same RTA, how would that vape compared to the first coil?
I am overthinking stuff too much here? It's not something I see crop at all, so is it not worth bothering with? Are there too many variables here? Maybe I'm just not getting it
Think I need to add another tab to my nerdy spreadsheet
