I wanted to calculate what ohms 10 wraps of 24 gauge SS316 wud be. I put in 3mm but it wants a coil lenght. How do I know what the coil lenght is on 10 wraps? I wish it just asked how many wraps u were using. That wud make it easier.

It’s asking leg length not coil overall length (that gets calculated automatically) ...if in doubt stick with the default 5mm doesn’t make that much difference

I want to try SS because I have a Paranormal and it has the fancy replay mode where it duplicares ur perfect hit but u have to use tc. Im just afraid SS will ohm out to low. It ohms out even lower then nichrome.

Most tc factory coils are like a .15 so you've got a good bit to play with. Tc will let you adjust everything so it won't really be too low.

The resistance presented by steam engine is for a single coil ...half it if you want dual coils (for most attys out there)

U must u a low wattage. I dont know much about SS. But with 28 gauge Im assuming my 80 watts I usually use wud be to high. Does it really give better flavor?

Different strokes for different folks ...some think it’s tastes better, some don’t notice any difference, others find it metallic.... until you try it you won’t know for certain which camp you sit in :)

One thing you musn’t do is dry burn them like you would nichrome or kanthal ...don’t go past a warm glow or the metal goes brown and tastes off

DNA mods can fire way low - 0.05, maybe even lower

You want low resistance with SS for TC, also - I would shoot for around 0.2 - 0.25 single coil or 0.1 - 0.15 dual coil

Thanks for the hrads up. The lady that owns our local vape shop says she twists 26 gauge kanthal and parallels them with 28 gauge SS.

If your going for TC I personally stick with fused Claptons all 316L (space the wraps a little) ...not too much coil mass works great especially on a DNA mod

Sort of like this

Steam Engine also has a selection for single, dual,triple, etc., also for series coils also.

No way! all this time I’ve missed that option lol

Thanks for the heads up :cheers:

Working on it at the moment mate it’s the Sahara RDA, very similar to the engine 2 deck, better system to mount the leads this time ...different airflow
