Try a multimeter to see if there is any voltage at all in the dead batts.
If there is completely no voltage, then most likely the CID popped. It's basically a safety measure the breaks off the positive terminal of the battery internally. Happens with old batts or mistreated ones when the...
Thanks for that input @Timwis
If you ever give an RDA a go in the F0 mode, let me know. Or if anyone else has.
I'm a squonker and rda users by default. So right now I cant really give it a go or actually not willing to spend the money to just try it out. If someone comes out with a squonker...
@Timwis Does it make any difference for RDAs?
For tanks I get how it makes it help with drawing in extra juice. Wondering if that would make much of a difference with an RDA.
If it helps with coil life, probably would also help with the coil life then in a RDA as well. Before rewicking of course.
One these will help in keeping coil legs the same length. Since the profile technically has a postless style type of coil mounting system. Lots of different styles available locally. Not particularly necessary, however with me using postless style rdas, I find it invaluable.
@CJB85 explained wire mass perfectly. The more actual wire the more wattage needed to heat it. Also it holds heat for longer. So for example if you haven't vaped it for a few hours and its completely cold. It will feel like it takes longer to get going. But if you chain vaping, since it's...
Here's the thing, only you will know if it tastes better at a higher wattage or not. You have the materials now. So go higher and see if it tastes better to you. Worst case you burn through your cotton, no problem, just rewick it and start again, then not go as high. Which is why people have...
Stock coils tend to rate their coils higher than you should actually use them, with the exception of a very few. Some believe it's so you burn through your coils faster, therefore purchase more frequently.
Flavour isn't necessarily dependent on wattage applied. Most of the time's some flavours...

since it shows you in sandton, not sure if you close to fourways
Those aren't bad especially for the price, they are KAnthal and not Ni80. But that's not too much of a issue. You get quite a few of each o give it go. Just youtube how to get rid of hot spots and how to pre cut the leads so they fit in your profile. There must be a video online about using...
Try finding something like this. The pic below is stainless steel, but does come in Ni80. Coilology 7-in-1 performance coils.
Several local vendors do sell this and other brands which have a variety of coils. This particluar one is like R150 and has quite a few different coils for you to...
Below is a quad core fused clapton.
Notice inside there are 4 wires. That's the quad. Clapton means its wrapped altogether nice and tightly by another wire around the outside.
What type of coil are you using?
I exclusively you 3x30g wrapped in 38g Ni80 3mm ID 6x wrap. comes in at 0.6ohm. Vaping at 40w. anything lower would take ages to heat up. Albeit I am using a reload s rda. With full airflow open and not anything close to MTL.
I was the same as @MeirTaitz, which is why I can feel the pain. I have tried mesh. And it is nice, but chose to stick to regular coils. As to me they were very similar in what I could achieve with less cotton usage and maintenance with regards to a regular coil.
Mesh ramps up nice and quick...
@Timwis is absolutely right. However I don't know if @MeirTaitz could pull that off in the profile. Even when cutting the airflow right down. It isn't much of a reduced chamber in there especially when using a regular coil instead of the mesh. I just gave the logic behind less vapour. In...
