I'll start off by saying sorry if this has been posted before.
I just started messing around with an RDA recently and I have a few Q's.
I'm a MTL vapor so I'm trying to build with that and flavour in mind.
I read a lot of stuff that says "if you're X vapor, you need Y set up" however theirs
rarely an explanation why, and sometimes, at least for a newbie like myself, the answer isn't always obvious.
For simplicity sake, let's just say I'm using kanthal only (eventually I'll move on once, I'm comfortable with what I have.
So, a side from being a cooler vape, why do MTL vapors prefer higher ohms?
If I'm trying to build somewhere in the 1.5-2ohm range, what is the ultimate goal outside what can fit the space.
Eg, Is my goal to have as many or as few wraps as I can? Should I have the biggest coil diameter as I can fit?
My personal preference (I think) is a slightly warm vape that has a sharp heating curve.
What I'm having a hard time with is, either I have to hold the button for a second or two before It gets to the temp/vape I want, or I up the wattage and it's too hot.
Right now I'm using a VTC mini, and prefer around 4.3v
Lastly, I know it's old but does anyone still use nichrome 80? I came across a few threads where people liked it for it's lower resistance, heats up quicker and the ability to use more wraps.
