The "You Watt" Challenge - Closes 11/26/18 (9 Prizes Available)

[Letitia9]

I have really been eyeballin another cheap RX300. Obviously get the update for the unneccesary 400 watts but really want the battery life. Now I already BSed 350 on one of the CBK V12 coils and that hit only last 1.7 seconds long before it burns me up.

If I wanted to for the hell of it, what would be a good coil setup to handle the full 400 watts of power?

My question would be what batteries would be the safest if safe at all?

My question would be what batteries would be the safest if safe at all?

If memory serves me correctly, I believe the manual states that it needs a minimum of 35 amp batteries. Max output is only 50 amps.

A good point though. I know there are some members out there with a few RX300s. I too am curious what would be a solid battery setup.

You’d need a big deck with some big coils in it like you’d plan a series build...you’ll need to plan your stack so resistance isn’t too low or you’ll cap out the 50 amp output limit long before you reach 400w ....nothing lower than 0.16ohms....really you’ll be aiming higher than this though

I don’t know what the max voltage output for the RX300 is so I’m going to assume it can cover 8V ok which is what it’ll need for 0.16ohm ....to give you a rough idea a 0.4ohm coil requires about 12 volts output (the higher the resistance the more voltage output goes up)....short of this means it will chew into low battery cut out territory and drop your performance earlier if mod cannot deliver that output.

Low voltage cut out I’ll assume is 3V per cell ...high amp draw on those cells is now roughly 42amps each at 400W

Why update it to 400W though? 300W will still need 31amps

Samsung 20S get 4 of them is the short answer leave it at 300w too

 

[OmagaWright]

@KingPin! Wow that was alot to take in. But very well laid out and educational. Why Wismec decided anybody needed 400 wayts, let alone 300, is beyond me. I guess it was a marketing gimmick to get people excited.

As for needing the update, while 400 watts is nice and all, I dont know if there may be any bug fixes or safety patches in it, but best to get the update for safety sake.

Some people do go that high. I personally cannot but it does happen. I know some people who vape the devil's pitchfork on their LIPO setups.

Was time to rebuild my work tank, 6/7 wraps around 2.5mm bit using the premade Clapton wire from lightning Vapes, and vape this at 20 watts MTL.

Curse you senior members and your hippy terms lol.

So now what is a devil's pitchfork and how bad is that?

Cant say I vape at those levels on daily basis for the simple two facts of 1. not much satisfaction in high heat deep hits and 2. way too much juice consumption.

No worries. I dont know how folks vape at such high wattages like that, its uncomfortable. I like cool, dense clouds. Some of that shit is like vaping straight fire with a Carolina Reaper chaser.

So over the holidays I decided to try and learn to build alien coils. This is a dual build coming in at .17 ohms. Actually worked out perfectly for my dual style. I usually don't like to go below.15 unless it's a tank coil and I can do nothing about that. Hope we had a great holiday.

Damnit to hell...all of these folks finding out the hidden agenda that Aliens aren’t as much of a beast to make as they first appears is going to make me have to go back to the basics and start learning more difficult coils before I go extinct.
Hmmmm...part of that almost reads like something out of Area 51

Okay, I started out building Protank II coils using 28 guage kanthal wire and a 4 penny nail. Always felt like I needed MORE. Next was a Magma RDA where I tried simple twisted 28 guage on a 4Nine Mech clone. I have to admit, I wasn't really experienced enough to make that jump, but I did it without taking safety for granted. I moved on to regulated mods, where I could build any reasonable coil, and get a satisfactory vape from it. I made a few claptons from scratch, but failed at attempts to make a decent fused clapton. Even tried to do aliens a few times, I just don't have the patience, or enough wire to practice with. SO, these days, I do it the lazy way, pre-made coils! Nice fused claptons are just so affordable, I can't justify spending my time and effort to make my own crappy coils....

Lately, I have been using these NI80 fused claptons (3-26/36) in the 70 to 80 watt range for a dual coil build at .12 ohms. I use dual coils with a dual battery mod and I use the same coils in single coil atties at around .24 ohm, still running around 70 watts - typically on a single battery squonker. I almost always will space my coils at least a little bit, prevents hot spots and just works better IMO Always direct lung for me. I'm all about the flavor, but I like the clouds too.
I like the same coils in drippers or RTA's.
This build has an extra wrap, so the resistance is a little higher, I think it was .16

I'm the same way I think. I love a flavor build but want to know I inhaled some vapor. But at the same time I hate 3 or 4 MTL devices as well. Vaping is so versatile sometimes.

I have not wrapped this yet, but I made some vertebraid wire out of 32g SS316L, Zophie showed me how, someday I'd like to get more tools and try making something more exotic..

Couple of close calls this month must say

Good luck to all participants in the die roll.

This was a sweet challenge. Learned quite a bit. But now I can't wait to see the next challenge.

Better late than never I guess...

I typically Vape in the 55-65 watt range on regulated squonkers. My builds are Ni80 triple 26ga wrapped with 40ga fused claptons at around 0.25 ohms on a pulse 22 or 24 with an 810 tip. I like the draw to be wide open for a 2-3 second direct lung inhale. I try to maximize flavor with a good amount of vapor. I do cloud chase on rare occasion, but flavor takes precedence. I only use power mode, no TC. This has become my go to setup for a while now. I started vaping with a kanger pro tank, quickly moved on to Reo’s with small rda’s and other mech squonkers, but this year have pretty much fully switched to regulated due to the convenience factor that I don’t have to tailor the coil to the mod/atty combo. I’ve made fancy coils in the past, but it’s so much less time consuming to buy a roll of pre-made wire and just make a quick coil and get to vaping. Hope this helps someone on their vape journey. Feel free to ask questions. Thanks

Sorry for the poor quality pic.

Our Second Challenge has ended!

Thank you all very much for contributing, our team aim with this challenge was to try and inspire budding builders with ideas, but also let them know there isn’t just one way of doing things, id say 9 pages in you’ve all done a marvellous job for the community....with over 400 posts theres certainly enough content here to give people a great start.

F1r3b1rd will be opening our next challenge this week, something everyone can get involved in ready for the Christmas break. We plan to close the next one a little earlier so we can all kick back and enjoy some well earned time off with family and friends.

Once again thank you all for stopping by, thank you to our awesome community sponsors, and finally a massive thank you to the challenge team who put many many hours behind the scenes getting these to you all.

So without further ado, onto the rolls for the Youwatt challenge!.......if you win your name will be removed from the list before rolling the next

Good luck to everyone. And I did see a comment that they got a lot out if the contest. I hope everyone did. It's always good to see everyones vaping style. Most time I just assume it's all clouds. Nice to see not everyone uses huge coils and hope that maybe someone will see this thread and give it a try.
