On a mech squonk I usually stay around .23give or take
Eh, about 0.30 here, vary my wire NiChrome, stainless, Kanthal ... might mix/match or do all same. .30 -.50 does okay for me, depends on how i want the battery doing, two days or just eight hours.
If you have some simple 24g Nichrome you can have that thing creating atmospheres in your room very easily. With a mildly warm fun vape. 5 wraps, 3.5 mm inside diameter 24g nichrome will yield a fast ramp and very good vape.
*checks his Nichrome supply & grumbles softly* 32 & 28, no 24 --- but i can do alright with those as well, just a little touch of this and that, viola.
Everybody's telling me different stuff
All pretty much pointed in the same general direction though.
I have some experimenting to do.
There is no one right answer, you could ask 319 people and get 349 different answers. Experimentation is always necessary.
Agreed, and sometimes what you have one day may change the next day. You might have a good build doing well day one, try it again on day two and it's crap. Then, it's about tweaking, fine tuning your process, or realizing sometimes you need just say fuck it and try something else. Attempting perfection can lead to sanity, or insanity, difficult for me to recall.
Don't dismiss the satisfaction you can achieve with a simpler build.
Nope, not ever. Sometimes a simple 28g kanthal 5 or 7 wrap 3 mm ID does wonderful.
Happy note here. Someone got a nice battery powered drill. *sighs* Makes turning wire a lot nicer, lots cleaner, more uniform. *sticks thumb up* made some real nice 2 x 28 / 36 fused yesterday. it's doing well in the Gorge.
