EDIT: I'm a goofball and forgot to check my battery's charge. With a full charge they heat just fine. Still mystified by the ohm's difference though.
So I thought I'd branch out and try a macro-coil. I'm having a few problems with it. I'm using these coils in a Tugboat clone. The build is being powered by a Sony VTC5 in a black FUhattan.
The problem is that it takes way too long to heat the coils. They're 3mm in diameter, dual coil, 7 wraps, 26ga Kanthal A1, clocking in a 0.63ohms (more about that later). In total it takes about 2 seconds to get rolling compared to my 2mm micro coils that roll almost as soon as I throw the firing button.
Granted, once they're going they behave exactly like you'd expect a macro-coil would. It tastes better than a micro-coil and hits harder as well.
I'm just wondering why, first of all, these coils are clocking a full 0.13ohms higher than they should. Secondly, I'm wondering why they're taking so long to heat. 0.13ohms shouldn't make that much difference.
