Staged Heating Coil

i will try this later today
Did something similar a few weeks ago,worked well,got a bit harsh eventually

Looks awesome! How was the vape?
Honestly vapes like a dream
Even though it is 0.5ohms its not a hot vape, it is comfortably warm, edging on the cool side
Loads of flavour and vapour and very little if no ramp up time
Definitely a winner in my book
Im still struggling to understand what the benefit of this is
versus say a para coil with identical wires that heat up at the same time
To me, even heating would work better because it's the same juice in the wick the whole way along the length of the coil.
The guy in the video says the thinner wire heats up instantly to provide a bridge until the thicker wire gets going. Not sure if I understand it. But i havent tried it. @BhavZ , what do you think?

My understanding of the purpose of the staged heating coil is to decrease the ramp up time for a coil to get hot.
The para 24g and dual 24g coils that I have built have had a noticeable ramp up time however with this type of coil build I have noticed that the ramp up time has dropped significantly if not non existent.
Also I have noticed that a build on 24g and 26g of the same resistance is a lot warmer than that of the staged heating coil.
I also noticed that with ultra low builds like 0.4ohms I tend to lose flavour however with the same ohms on a staged heating coil the flavour loss is a lot less and with the vape being cooler I get a more enjoyable vape which is flavourful and has decent to substantial plumage.
yeah, get the "thinner" wire to help heat up the "thicker" wire. definately want to give it a go myself. not a fan at all of coils that take a second or so to heat up, i want it hot and i want it nowz
