Welcome, forumites, to another "help the noob" thread. Many thanks in advance for your contributions.
A little background. I've been wasting tons of wire for the past month or so trying to familiarize myself with my personal preferences and since I've determined that I appreciate, above all, a quick ramp up time and a good cloud. My simple go-to build is a single coil parallel using 24 gauge Kanthal, 2.4mm ID, 6 wraps. Comes out to .28-.29 ohms. A 2-3 second hit at around 60 watts just does it for me.
Last night I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning failing miserably at juggernaut wire until I finally got one strand right. A few wraps later and...my god...I was missing out on some serious flavor without sacrificing too much of that quick ramp up that I love. So I got to wondering...
What types of builds do you use that provide the quick ramp up time I fancy and still produce a satisfying cloud? Not looking to start a coil war, just interested in what's done you right in the past/present.
I definitely favor the cloud over the flavor, but I'm in no way complaining about a little (or a lot) of flavor.
I don't mind burning through some wire or even an intermediate difficulty build. I say intermediate because I've seen some ridiculous shit on YouTube. Thus far I've wrapped Claptons, Juggernaut (once), and have made parallel and twisted coils, if that gives you any idea of where I'm at currently.
So without further ado, what's worked for you? What should I try next? If you were me with the knowledge you have now, what would you do? If you need more info, feel free to ask. I'm on the endless search for the Goldilocks coil here, even though I know I'll never find it.
