What's the best coil with what wire gauge to use to get .7 ohms on the orchid v4?
looking for something with decent ramp up time. I'm using a mech mod with sony vtc 5. thanks
Here is a cool toy to get you close to what you are wanting. Just plug in what wire you want to use, the diamiter of your pin, then play with the wraps to get you close.
With a mech mod and the air flow the orchid has you probably want to be lower than 0.7.
I think 0.6 would be the please everyone range and 0.5 for the I want more cloud crowd. Drill out the air holes and drop down into 0.4 to 0.3 to get closer to dripper clouds.
A 0.6 build would be 26g with 9 wraps on a 2.5mm drill bit or whatever you have. A 2.5mm coil doesn't leave you much room to deal with so you have to be good with coil positioning.
Drop one wrap and you should be about 0.55.
If you want to start at 0.7, use 28g and give it 7~8 wraps on a 2.5 or 8~9 on a 2mm bit.
I prefer a 2.5 coil to keep the wick moist and keep up with chain vaping.
Yeah, I guess it depends on whether you want more flavor or bigger clouds. Smoother vape or more throat hit.
Different folks, different strokes. Try a few different builds and see what works best for you.
For me 0.6 gave great flavor and nice cloudage. Not a fan getting higher than that, lots of air flow gave too cool of a vape.
I have since drilled out the air holes to allow a lower resistance without getting too hot. Below 0.4 flavor drops off too much for what I want but it's all personal preference I guess.
