Hot vape on Noisy Cricket help.

[SirPebbles]

Hey everybody, just got my noisy cricket today and I am running .67 ohms through this thing and it's still too hot for my likens. Any tips on how to go higher in the ohms? I'm running dual 16 wrap of 24G kanthal on a tsunami rda.

Thanks, COPYRIGHTDMCA

Step down to 26awg or 28awg kanthal wire, they are thinner so thus have more resistance, I'd highly suggest 26awg, as 28awg is a bit more fragile, and 26 gives a little extra resistance but only a little less as strong as 24awg is.

Appreciate it, I will try and buy some. Thanks

Try using steam-engine to model your build. This way you can plan your coils before you even get your wire cutters out.

Adding more "loops" to your coil build will increase the resistance to cool the vape. Experiment with your target resistance. Keep going up in resistance until you find the perfect balance of warmth, flavor, and vapor.

As suggested above, going with a higher resistance wire will allow more loops in your build and increase the resistance, thereby cooling the vapor.

Also, open up your airflow options on the RDA if possible.

@SirPebbles If a rough guide is useful, here are the resistance ranges and wire gauges that I use for 2.5mm dual coils. Based on my preference ~ more than 13 wraps is un-managable, less than five is too hot.

28G - 0.8Ω and above
26G - 0.8Ω to 0.4Ω
24G - 0.4Ω to 0.2Ω
22G - less than 2.0Ω
