RDA Low ohm or high wattage?

[nintres]

Hello all. I am new to RDAs and have only started building coils within the last month. I am a cloud chaser but I cannot stand high heat as I wasn't a smoker before hand. If I wanted bigger clouds, would I want to go lower sub-ohms, higher wattage or does it not matter?

My rda is a Tugboat v2 and the mod is a sigelei 150w.


Let me know!

Easy answer is better airflow - look at the Doge X, Mutation X, those kinda RDAs that have massive airflow. The Tugboat isn't really a cloud chaser unless you want to start drilling holes in the side - I know people do that frequently with the Patriot, which is a similar airflow design.

Lowering the ohms and pumping up the wattage won't get around the problem of heat - what you could try is spaced coils. When your airflow is getting right in and around the coil instead of just moving over the outside of a compressed coil, it'll make a noticeable difference.

Thanks for the post, Sedition. Can you post any links to these types of builds? I was under the impression that you want your coils close together.

Ninja edit: also, I have an Anarchist cap for the Tugboat. Do you think that is adequate air flow or still go with your original recommendations?

At a glance I'd say the Anarchist cap will help - never used it, but it looks to have a heap more airflow than the standard Tugboat. Here's a pic from Google, try an image search for "RDA spaced coil" for more:

I personally don't find much different in flavor or vapor production between spaced and compressed. But for cutting down heat, spaced will give you a tangible decrease. You might want to post in the Cloud Chasers section to get more guidance on cloud builds. It's worth noting that there is a lot of personal inhale technique to blowing clouds. A build only gets you so far.

Got it. Thanks Sedition!

Low ohms in general results in higher wattage outputs. they are not exclusive of each other one results in the other. They are a cause and affect, not different things.

Try the Mutation X V2 or V3. I'm currently using a V3 for cloudchasing - its a steam engine

Either or both will get you there.
Another thing you might try: I personally think nichrome wire gives a cooler vapor, and you can get more surface area with the same or lower resistance on your builds.

I'm not sure but I think I found what was reducing the amount of vapor. I was basically putting too much cotton into my coils and they were blocking some of the airflow.

I also opened up my throat to pull in a deeper drag and I've been shaking up my juice.

Either way I might give nichrome a try And I'm going to keep experimenting.

Also debating picking up a mutation x lol.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

I use the V2 as well and love it. Put some 24 gauge wire or a 26 gauge twisted build in and you will have clouds for days.
