Building the "perfect" coil(s)....

[Adam Paseman]

So, I would like to gather as much information as to how to build the kinds of coils to get my perfect vape.

I have been building different types in the hopes of figuring out just what kind of build will produce the vape I am looking for.

What vape am I looking for? I like a dense, flavorful vape, but one that is not hot. Barely warm...to cool.

I get this vape with thicker wire claptons, or say, 22 guage kanthal and running about .4-.6 ohm's at about 40-50 watts, but I run into one problem. Ramp up time. I have found that the larger wire requires a ramp up that takes longer than I'd like, but once it "warms up" as I chain vape, it stays warm and doesn't require the ramp up time. So, the 40-50W's seems to get the vape I want, minus the initial ramp up time on cold coils. I up the watts to fix the initial ramp up time, but then my vape gets too warm.

I have yet to experience TC that produces a dense/cool vape like I'm looking for, but perhaps I need to invest in a device that controls ramp up times at higher watts then backs off like the DNA200 mods can. However, I'm a Mac user not PC so I can't actually use this software...

one option with the TC and a DNA 200 would be to load a version of windows on a virtual box within the MAC OS ... then just start that up when you need to.

Try this on for size....2 x 26g 316L Cores with 38g Outer Wrap. It ramps up instantly, cools down quickly and gives a pretty amazing vape overall...

If your looking for a great TC experience like that then you should look into the Hohm Wrecker G2...it even TC's Kanthal and its vape is very similar to what your looking for...

As far as I know, there are some emulators that don't require a Windows OS license.
You might find your answers using google search ("running a windows program on a mac"), here are just two results.

I'm surprised though, that they still haven't released a Escribe version for the Mac OS yet. The last I heard, they wanted to release a version beginning of 2016. I think we are way past that.
As mentioned on another thread here somewhere, they should have written the program in Java, and it wouldn't have been a problem at all.

you might want to look at mods made by joytech they have both win and mac updaters and do Ni, Ti, 316L, and have 3 TCR options

I have several mods with Joyetech chips. However, they can't compete with a DNA200 in TC mode, especially with proper customization via Escribe.

How about the SMY SDNA75 firmware fine tuned by Daniel of DJLSB Vapes. He did everything so it's good to go right out of the box. I preordered one from Fasttech but it hasn't shipped yet.

yeah I will give you that if you do the whole specific setup and calibrate everything exactly perfect it is a better guessing device, but still I just tossed a couple batteries into my cuboid, updated the firmware, set it to tc SS316, set my temp and wattage and it worked fine.. I will acknowledge that my 420degF may actually be 412-428 where the DNA fully calibrated might be 418-422.. but as long as I get anemic hits when dry and no burnt nastiness I be okie dokie with that..good guess vs better guess when they all be guessing anyway.. *shrug*

I would not rely on djlsb to fine tune my dna chip. He had several mistakes on his site for the Hcigar200 as I noted on the Evolve site, and was corroborated by others. Maybe he got this one right, but ultimately you are responsible for a correctly configured device. If you don't want to diy, get a joyetech chip as noted above.
