Hi Experts!

I have been looking for 3 specific builds for a long time but can never find any good info.

I have a Kangertech DripBox 160w with an Aura RDA (with the Squonk pin), I'm looking for a nice build to throw in there (either premade coils or self made). Im currently vaping ry4sure in this (3mg) but the flavour seems to die out after a day, and has a somewhat metallic taste, i wrapped these 2.5mm ID coils using some unknown wire a gent gave me at a vape shop some moons ago, i think its Ni80 as my mod allows me to use the NI TC mode with these coils, ss, nicr modes dont work.

And a Twisp Vega with an MD MTL RTA, I'm looking for
1. A +Ohm build for Salt Nic, is this possible? A lot of the guys from the vape shops tell me this isnt doable and that i should buy a pod system. I have tried making a coil and it was like vaping the devils underwear, harsh as hell... i have white collar MTL claptons but im scared to build it because im not sure if they are suitable for this haha
2. An MTL build with really good flavour

Look forward to chatting with you guys and hearing your recommendations!

On the salt nic vape anywhere from 1.2 ohms and up, I vape it in my Expro V4 like that!

Have a look at the BVC (Bearded Viking Customs) coils. @charln has a decent lineup that will work both for your DL and MTL needs. And you'll be able to do Temp Control with his Hybrid's as well.

As to Salt Nic, I cannot comment as I don't use it.

@DarthBranMuffin Thanks so much for your reply, I'll def have a look at the link, maybe drop @charln a PM too

It's a lot! But if you have a starting point you can tweak it as you like, can also use kanthal wire if you can find, easier to work with than SS

You have to keep on trying, it can take a while to find that wire that just suits that tank. After using various 24 and 26 G wire, I found a 22 awg that I really like in my RDL set ups.

Don't be discouraged keep knocking on the door, one day it will open.

What does the ID do besides increase resistance?

I think you need to speak to some other folk. If I read this correctly you want a build higher than 1 ohm for your salt nic. You should be vaping at higher than 1 ohms with salt nic if it is in the higher nicotine rating and mtl. My problem is I don't know your tanks and if the are designed for mtl. The Aura is not.

For sure for sure thanks for your info! The MD MTL RTA is definitely an MTL tank though :)

For the aura I'm looking for a nice flavour build, DL
The MD I'm looking for a suitable build for salts and a build for flavour on the MTL spectrum

I typically use a 2.5mm plain Stainless coil of some 8 to 10 wraps in an MD, and this is the range you seek, (1 to 1.2 Ohms), ;) ... albeit that I use 12 - 18mg freebase 50/50 juice at typically 5 - 8 Watts

Increasing the ID means that you have to use more cotton. If your atty has large juice wells this is useful. If not, you just have to thin out the wick a bit more. Juice wells should not be under or overstuffed.

In some cases, a larger ID coil will help to reduce the chamber size thereby intensifying the flavour.

You can also sometimes use a larger ID coil in a dual coil atty to run it as a single coil.

When using a larger than "normal" ID coil you may increase the risk of a short. Always be careful to ensure sufficient clearance around the coil.

Im curious how the throat hit is on that :-D:-D

I'm an ex toasted cigarette smoker, (Camels nogal), and 50/50 juice works for me as throat hit goes ;)
I follow my old stinkie trend into the evening, and where I used to have a cigar, and I then move to DL device, typically with a 70/30 @ +-3mg juice, however that's about complementary flavour(s) not throat hit.

@Intuthu Kagesi you convinced me to try again...IMG_20220125_095315.jpg IMG_20220125_100026.jpg

This juice is Kak I think haha no flavour at all very disappointed tbh I'm hoping to figure this MTL thing out at I love a good flavourful vape.
Pic doesn't show nicely but the coil is as low as I can get it without touching the base and I made sure to remove all hotspots, heating from the inside out etc. On a side note the throat hit is manageable and not too harsh at all. I was a pall mall Reds smoker almost pack a day. Am I forever doomed to a suboptimal MTL vape guys?? Haha :DUMBLOL:

I can't comment on your juice however I can tell you that I get much better flavour out of spaced coils vs. contact coils ... stretch that coil out a lil' and rewick it ... I think you might just be pleasantly surprised ;)

O ... and have about 1mm between the coil and the "insert"
