Ok so I just recently got into RDA's, and have a limitless 200w box mod with a limitless RTDA I ijoy tank. I use 2 clapton coils made from 34k and 24k. 2.5 diameter at 0.55 ohms, and using Japanese cotton. It takes 2 sigelei 35A, 2500mAh 3.7v each. I run it around 60w.

So the clouds I can blow are pretty big but it seems some of my friends can use my vape to produce way bigger clouds than I can. So I was wondering what I could be doing differnt. Like the way I inhale maybe idk? And u see people on YouTube with alot smaller Vapes producing huge clouds so I was wondering if someone could give me some tips on this?

Lots of factors here. Given the identical set up (between you and your friends)...
inhale/exhale. Blow all the air out of your lungs, when nearly done, blow OUT through the coil (leaning forward to compress your lungs) while firing and then inhale (straightening and arching your back a bit... expanding your lungs) and blow out as soon as your inhale is done. Mouth shape determines distance and thickness. More open = thicker, more closed = farther.
Practice... this will help you get your inhale/exhale, mouth shape down pat, PLUS increase your lung capacity. Given that everything else is identical.. that's pretty much all there is to it.

By the way.. if you want clouds, don't use claptons. With a regulated mod, don't worry about ohms, you want more wraps. You do need to worry about watts. Your box has to be able to push enough watts to run your coil. Figure.. 8 wraps of 24ga kanthal or 9 wraps of 24ga nichrome. Use a 3.0mm core for more surface area. Higher VG = more cloud. Something with good airflow such as MutationX V4 (my fav), a Tsunami, or TwistedMesses RDA (my other 2 favs) are good. I haven't tried a kennedy yet, but that's coming soon.

I just made a new video of my latest cloud build, but I did not make it for a regulated mod. I hesitate to post it for that reason. Just have a bit of faith.. with a regulated mod, you want more wraps and watts to run the coil. Your resistance is limited to 0.10 or higher (maybe 0.15 or higher) depending on the mod. Since you can't lower the resistance your mod will fire, you increase the wraps and wattage..

Tip 1: 1st person perspective makes for small clouds. Film yourself exhaling, watch from a third person perspective, your clouds will immediately become impressive. This is why your friends clouds always look bigger to you than yours.

Tip 2: Find someone who is skilled in lighting sets to help you shoot a professionally lit vid of you blowing clouds. Tell them you want the clouds to appear as big as possible. Now you're in cloud comp territory!

Perspective is everything.

Those are lousy batteries. They are rewraps. Like Topwater said, get some decent batteries.

Are You Using a Rewrap (Rebranded) Battery?

  • Learn what a rewrap cell is. If you are using rebranded cells, does that mean it is inferior, poor quality, or even dangerous? Which batteries are suspected to be rebranded batteries?
