Ahhh, thanks for the cut-away diagram. So airflow increases as the top cap is opened/loosened?
Few more questions(I did just purchase so I don't mind asking them!):
Is there a recommended mesh size(number) and cotton type? Or is it just user preference?
Will similar resistances on traditional coils produce similar results on this rba? Or does the vertical alignment require completely new technique? Is resistance able to be measured by regular screw-in ohm meter, or what must be used?
Thanks again. Looking forward to receiving this Christmas gift to myself!
To answer:
-So airflow increases as the top cap is opened/loosened?
Yes
- Is there a recommended mesh size(number) and cotton type? Or is it just user preference?
Its user preference. I'm using 500 SS mesh, but other sizes will work as well. I'm using Japanese cotton but other fillers can be used as well.
- Will similar resistances on traditional coils produce similar results on this RBA? Or does the vertical alignment require completely new technique? Is resistance able to be measured by regular screw-in ohm meter, or what must be used?
Yes, it's similar and you can tailor the resistance as low as you'd like to go by varying the wire gauge and length. For reference, the build shown above is about 3 wraps around with 26g Kanthal and it meters at .9 ohm and can be measured as you do any rba.
