Maximum clouds

Now you could consider me a cloud chaser. Everytime i build i try to make my coils produce more and more vapor production. But it seems as i hit a wall and can not get my vapor production any higher than what it is. Ive used all different type of gauge kanthal, clapton and fused clapton kanthal. Single and dual coil. I have a dual 5 wrap fused clapton reading at .31 and im stumped. Idk what else to do to get huge massive clouds. Ahould i make my diameter smaller to try to squeeze an extra wrap but lower the ohms. I do not want higher than .3. Any suggestions????? Am i missing a concept??? How can i lower my ohms but creat more surface area contact with my wick

Well, couple things here, are you using a mech or are you using a regulated mod?
Have you played with coil position, and your airflow as well to try and reduce/increase airflow to the coil, and increase cloud density?
A lot of Cloud Chasing comes down to experimentation, yes you can build a lot of coils that naturally produce great clouds, but if you are using too much or too little air, your coil is too low or too high for your air flow, and if you are not using proper technique then your clouds will suffer dramatically. Also have you tried different wire types? Such as Nichrome 80 or Stainless Steel? Both naturally ramp up significantly quicker, and allow you to build larger surface area coils as well. For my mechs I generally run 7-8 wraps of 24g SS316L, 3mm ID, that clocks in just above .2, and has instant ramp up, and great cloud production. Before I switched to SS to get the same ramp up speed I was running 4-5 wrap 24G kanthal, and this led to low surface area, and a little more ramp up, with less cloud production.

I used a reaulouex rx200s with dual fused claptons on a goon rda reading .31 at 60 w 4.31v ill post pics

I would say do more wraps and crank up the wattage.

The resistance itself doesn't matter nearly as much on a regulated mod as a mech. More wraps=more surface area. More wattage+more surface area= bigger clouds.

Yeah you know, just get a Horney RDA and run 6 coils duh haha I'm kidding.

I would say .3 four wrap at 3 ID should be producing awesome dense clouds with low air intake @60-70 watts. But yeah lower gauge, more wraps, higher watts would work best.
Lol 12 coils running .012 at 300 watts and pulsing 140 amps for the win haha
