Help with smaller Mech mods

I have a single 18650 stingray clone and am building on a phobia v1. I am vaping homemade juice which is unflavored so I am not looking for a flavorful vape, but I am looking for decent vapor production. My stingray has some pretty bad voltage drop so I need the most efficient build possible. I want the most vapor for the least power consumption. I really appreciate the help!!

What battery/ies will you be using?

Is your stingray clone clean?

Noob questions aside, the same build I put in my FTL rta -

Dual coils

Kanthal - 20 awg
2.5mm inner diameter
4.5 wraps

It's a 0.1 - 0.12 ohm build, so of course use good authentic batteries yatta yatta

If a mech has great conductivity, this build makes me release the fire button a few times in each puff on a fully charge battery - no battery wasted by coil heat ramp-up

Just Checked and am GLAD I DID! I bought this mech off a friend and he must have shorted it a couple times. The contacts looked like a warzone. I sanded them flat and cleaned the crap out of the thing and it works soooooo much better!!

I am going to try this build with some 22g Kanthal I have laying around. I might build it up to .2ohm though with a few extra wraps and a 3.5mm id. I don't feel comfortable building so low with a single 18650.

I understand your hesitation. I think it was 2 years before I would build below 0.2 ohms on a tube.

I suggest this with 22g kanthal, though I would use 4.5 wraps
