Hey guys,
I recently started playing around with 24g kanthal in a kayfun lite plus clone that I had bought last year and started to notice a serious issue which was that juice would at some point start to look orangish, when I recently opened it up to change the coil to put in a new flavor it was completely black. However when I had previously fired it and had noticed no burnt taste. Any ideas as to what's going on.
Background on build
24g purchased from brick and mortar store
Cosmic Orange BLawesome juice (pinkish)
0.6ohm coil 6 wraps
eleaf istick at 32.2 watts
Cheers
Hey everyone,
I've been vaping for about two years now, and have decided to start dripping. For the last few weeks, I have been dripping on an IGO-W, 26G Kanthal single coil (7 wrap micro coil reading at 0.8ohms) on my iStick 30w.
I just recently purchased a new battery that should arrive today, and was wondering if anyone had advice/tips on producing some fat clouds! Dual Coils? Different coil builds? Number of wraps? Watts to vape at? I think you get the picture lol.
The items I will be using are as follows:
-SMOK XPRO M80 Plus
-IGO-W
-26 Gauge Kanthal Wire
-Japanese Organic Cotton
- 80vg/20pg Juices
All input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Just a little warning to all who have purchased the Lemo 2- Do not use the wire included in the box.
I was a little worried when i was using the stock coil and noticed it had been turning a green color after a few days of use, not sure if this is the case with all Lemo 2's, but if you notice your wire is turning greenish, just throw it out and replace it. I don't believe this is kanthal, it could possibly be nichrome, but it's properties are not matching up with those of kanthal. My worries were confirmed when I decided to put a parallel 5 wrap coil on my rda with that wire because of my lack of other 24 gauge... Well today when I took out my cotton and dry burned the coil a little to rid it of excess juice, the coil actually deformed and somewhat melted on my rda . I don't know what kind of metal this is, but I'm positive it is not kanthal, this has never happened to me with kanthal, and this wire seems to be of a lower resistance than kanthal. Anyway, just wanted to let ya'll know to be careful with that wire, or just throw it out altogether. Otherwise, the Lemo 2 is a fantastic tank
So I decided to try a 1,6 ohm coil on kayfun v4 clone Tobecco and I am using 28gauge Kanthal with a cotton
wick on a Rdna 30 and its vaping well at 15 watts I have a kanger subtank mini coming in the mail and here goes my question
So the kanger subtank states that with a .5 ohm coil i could vape up to 30 watts but the voltage comes in at like 3.8 volts
I was under the impression that the rdna 30 needs at least 4 volts to work which kinda brings me to my second question
What is the point of of sub ohms? cant i just build a 2.0 ohm coil or something like that to achieve the results as if i was subohming
I am very confused on this
thanks for the replys in advance
Oh yea is a 1.6 ohm coil at 15 watts a normal build or any recommendations for the kayfun v4 for watts and ohms thanks again
I've got one that has me puzzled. I went through two fills of my Aerotank V2 with Cosmic Fog's Milk and Honey when it started to taste burnt. I figured no big deal, let me change the coil and clean the tank and all will be well. Well, new coil and cleaned tank and about 4 drags in it tastes burnt again. Thinking maybe I have a bum coil I try another one. Same deal.
I'm at a loss. It's the same bottle of liquid, same tank (cleaned each time), same battery (iStick 50w), same wattage (8.9), same resistance (1.2 ohm). Anyone have any clue what's could be causing this? It's getting expensive in coils and liquid!
Thanks
I've got a Nautilus with a 1.6ohm coil, and an iStick 50w. On the side of the coil it says 3.2v-5v, and I want to know if that's just a guideline or a limit for the coil.
I'm running it at 4.8 volts, but I get better flavor and vapor at 5.5 volts. There are no wicking issues or burnt taste at 5.5v, but I don't want to damage the battery or the coil. Any advise would be great thanks!
Hi all first off like to say thanx to everyone who answers my newbie question. You guys been alot of help. My vapeing knowledge is improving. Now I have another one for you guys . I am looking to get the most flavor out of my vapes. I own a ipv4 a mutilation x v4 a tugboat and kanger submini and a eleaf 50 watt. I have 26g kanthal 24g kantal . What is any should I get for more flavor . What kinda build should I do ? How many wraps? Please give me a full Break down on the way to get best flavor possible . Juice with more vg I am so new and lost thanx in advance
I am trying to get the best flavor with the best single coil build.
Objectives:
Flavor
Smooth Vapor
Materials:
Kanthal Wire
35mg Nic Salts
I have noticed that either depending on the diameter of the coil or the spacing of the coil wraps You get a different kind of vape hit. It seems like higher gauge wire produces a smoother hit. And then couple that with a small diameter coil build, plus squishing the coil together to remove all coil spacing results in the smoothest possible vapor.
Can anyone confirm my findings? Or does anyone have any tips because I have still to replicate the smooth hit from clearomizer sub tank cartridge's that are non mesh. I am starting to think this is because the cotton is wrapped around the outside of the coil instead of being shoelace through the middle of the coil.
Hey guys just recently got a Lemo2, wasn't happy with the coil that it came built with for some reason so built my first one to put in. I think it came out pretty good, I believe it came with 24g Kanthal and I did 11 wraps around 3.5mm came out to 0.9ohm. It takes a while to ramp up but seems to give a nicer vape to me than the stock one which was like 5 wraps around 2mm at 0.5 ohm.
Anyways, I tossed the original coil and now am wondering if I really had to or could have saved it. When you guys try new coil builds do you save your older builds? And being that it's really just resistance wire does a coil ever really need to be replaced or is it just for novelty/trying new builds?
Uhh...so idk what it is,tasting burnt no matter what ,new coils ...two different rba pieces for subtank mini...guys at local vape shop didn't taste it but I notice a flavor of burnt n not juice...tht was hours ago,just tried again few mins ago and not burnt,but why would it be like tht? If a bit more cotton would it b better? But then I get juice...less cotton I get odd taste...I can't win lol idea on y it's like tht? Rba's r both fine.
So I've been using a Kayfun v4 and provari p3 using the hybrid connector and have never been able to get th ohms below 2 using .2mm guage kanthal bought from Vape escape one 2 mm coiling tool and about 6 wraps was initially happy with that but after reading the results other users are having they typically end up around 1.2 1.4 ohms using far more wraps then I have been using I tried to increase my coil diameter to 2.5 mm and the ohms exploded to 5 ohms making it unusable I have noticed that my spring in the Kayfun gets incredibly dirty and charred with what I can describe only as soot if anyone has any insights into what could be going on I would much appreciate it ive been enjoying my Kayfun but I'm still looking for that mind blowing Vape I keep reading about
