A few questions about the impact of different ohm builds on a regulated mod

[vapephilia]

I'm incredibly new (like, minty fresh new) to dripping so I only have a brief understanding of ohms law and rebuildables. I wanted to know:

- What impact on my vaping experience do different ohm builds (above ohm vs sub ohm and their high-low extremes) have on a regulated mod?
- A lot of people build down to 0.3ohm - 0.12ohm, why is it favourable?
- Is this for me as a flavour chaser?
- Also, what effect do dual vs single coils have?

So I'm surprised no one has chimed in yet on your questions. I'm not a dripper, I only use a dripper for tasting new juices. That said, these are my observations based purely on my own experience with dripping as a flavor tasting mechanism.

Dual coils tend to have more surface area, thus produce more flavor. However there is a point of diminishing return on flavor the lower the ohms are, but the bigger the clouds. The lower the ohms, the faster the juice vaporizes, and generally speaking, the larger the clouds.

I generally build down to .14-.16 BUT (please note this is a big but) this is only because I am exclusively using temperature control and TC requires certain resistance to function properly.

For flavor chasing, using a traditional kanthal or SS build and not using TC, I found that somewhere around 1-1.2 ohms was ideal for getting the best flavor out of my juices. Everyone has different tastes though, so play around a bit until you figure out the best build to suit your tastes.

HTH!

Ahhh I see I see, thanks a lot for the insight!

Great questions, but difficult to answer. Remember that vaping is subjective to the individual vaper. I run dual coils in a Mutation indulgence MT RTA at .15 ohms 70 watts. Great for me as a flavor chaser, but maybe not great for you. Play around with resistance and wattage (safely), and enjoy the vaping experience.

Moving this to the coils subforum, where hopefully you'll get more responses, but I'd suggest that for flavor a slightly higher-resistance build of dual coils at 0.5 and up would likely suit your needs on a non-TC device. I actually went from building in the 0.2-0.3 range on mechs to 0.5-0.6 when I moved to regulated in order to get more wire surface to vaporize a larger volume of juice (and thus vaporizing more flavoring at the same time) while just turning up the wattage to achieve the same temperature/ramp-up time I'd been accustomed to with my mech.

Good flavor is a combination of the atomizer and the build. There's no set answer to that question. Different atomizers will perform better with different builds, and of course "better flavor" is subjective to the individual user. That having been said, my go to flavor build is a .18 ohm single parallel coil in a Cyclone dripper. For a dual coil flavor build, I use my Quicksilver at around .4 ohms with a standard kanthal build. Most of my vaping though is based around intensity of the vape more than flavor. My suggestion would be to start higher, around ,5 ohms. With a regulated mod you can then compensate with the wattage to get to the flavor you want. If you find the flavor but the vape is too warm, go up on your resistance. If you find it but the vape is too cool, go down.
