Just wanted to share a bit of info for those highly interested in achieving those "plumes of vapor."
This experiment started with:
30g D kanthal
28g A kanthal
325 ss mesh
400 ss mesh
500 ss mesh
So for each wire, I made:
3 wrap (1 normal, 1 twisted)
4 wrap (1 normal, 1 twisted)
5 wrap (1 normal, 1 twisted)
And for each mesh I made:
3/4 inch width
1 inch width
1 1/4 inch width
Out of all of these I found what produces the most VP is the 3/4 inch 325 mesh with a 5 wrap 28g A kanthal.
Here's some observations with as to why this happened.
1. Thinner wick with along with it being a 325 allows the juice to flow fast
2. Thicker wire covers more surface area with 5 wraps along the wick
3. Wire evaporates most of the juice flowing through the wick
I did a series of 3, 6, and 9 second drags with moderate inhaling and during all times I did NOT experience any kind of throat burn from the coil being too hot on the top wrap.
Hope this experiment works for others, Just thought I'd share the knowledge of my findings.
