Hey everyone. I just signed up for the forum. I am fairly new with rebuildable atomizers. I have a magneto with igo w and 18650, 2000 mah battery. I mainly use this set up at home. I want to be able to blow good clouds with really good flavor. I have tried to make some coils with 28ga wire and it is registering .5 ohm but it doesn't do much or taste superb. What can I do?

Welcome to VU, Jesse...
If you built a 0.5Ω DC RDA with 28 ga. Kanthal, with adequate wicking - even though the air holes on an Igo-W are pretty small and should be enlarged to 1.5~2mm (or more) - you should have decent warmth, a nice snap-crackle-pop sound when you hit the button and good flavor/vapor.
If you have none of that, then chances are you have a continuity issue with the mech... and although unlikely, perhaps with the atty as well. Either will result in voltage drop, and "resistive heating" in the mech.

- What brand battery, and Is it battery fully charged - what is your voltage?
- Is any part of the mech getting warm... like say, the button?
- Do you own a DMM (digital multi-meter)?
- If yes to #2 & #3... do you know how to conduct voltage, continuity and resistance tests?
- If no to #4... here's how.
- If after #4 & #5, you've found no problems, do you have a variable speed hand drill and a decent set of HSS or cobalt drill bits? Enlarge the air holes.
I had the holes enlarged when I ordered it and a nice popping. However not much vapor 2. And 3. No to both

I've also had good Luck drilling Airholes out with Dewalt TitaniumBits start with the smallest bit that's bigger then your original airhole/s .Clean it up.ya don't want to inhale any metal shavings. Vape on it. Repeat until Happy. You can always drill out more but I have a hard time making airholes smaller.

Hey Jesse, Unfortunately blowing clouds and really good flavor fight each other. You will get more clouds with VG and more flavor with PG. When I started dripping I used a .8 ohm build with a 60/40 blend and 6mg flavor.
Welcome
So why is that my iTaste and kanger tank with .8 ohm coil produce more vapor than my build that is .5 ohm? I'm just curious I really don't know.

Curious, are you aligning your airhole/s on your top cap directly in front of your coil/s? This actually makes a huge difference when it comes to flavor and especially vapor production. (If you didn't already know that
)

Jesse what blend is your juice pg/vg? I'm not familiar with any of the youde rda's how is their airflow? do you have a volt meter by chance to test the volt drop
