Got my new mod today. Loving it! Comes with a silicone sleeve as well which I'm going to use to protect from scratches.

What would be a good Ni200 build for TC on the Aromamizer?

I've only used Kanthal so far, got some Ni200 from FastTech today and want to try a build - first one came out as too low resistance apparently.

I've got 22g,24g, 26g and 30g wire

Twirlywoos · 16 Oct 2015 at 14:00

aeronaut is going to be next on my shopping list. I don't see what the hype is all about with this velocity deck/rda I find it horrible. It will probably be better with Kanthal micro coil builds I suspect.

So I just got back into this and now have the Subox Mini, and am not sure if I have the watt set right, about 25 or 30 or because am not use to doing straight to lung, I am using some 16mg juice and it knocked me for six lol

balky12 · 16 Oct 2015 at 14:16

Yea, the issue is with the nic strength in the juice. People recommend around 6mg for sub ohm

Kanifee · 16 Oct 2015 at 14:30

Ok so I need a recommendation for a new mod as my dying istick 50w has given up the ghost, POS!

I was all set on a dna200 but after seeing battery life and already having to change the Sammy 25r in my dna40 twice a day I don't think it is for me. I need 100 to 150 watts, dual 18650 and good build quality without being mahoosive and I have literally no interest in temp control what so ever.

Nickel will be near impossible on the aromamizer, you'd need as many wraps of the thickest wire you could wedge in to the thing just to get a mod to read the resistance, a typical dual coil nickel build will knock you down around 0.02-0.03ohm, most mods will only read to 0.05-0.06 or if the mod is particularly crappy 0.1.

Do your self a favour and grab some grade 1 titanium, all round more pleasant wire for tc.

Aha, I'll forget trying this for now then. I did try a single coil build in the Uwell Crown and hit the same problem - low resistance!

I'll look at getting some titanium wire instead next week.

I'm using Sigelei 150W TC btw

Rilot · 16 Oct 2015 at 15:51

Or you could use thinner wire. If I build ni200 in tight spaces I run 28 or 30 awg as you get a much higher resistance for a smaller length of wire. With something thick like 24 awg you'd need 50+ wraps to get a dual coil 0.15 ohm build.
Thin wire is a pain to work with though which is why titanium is so much better. You can use a sensible gauge wire (26 or 24) without having to do 15+ wraps.

I'll give the 30 awg I have a try, but seems very fiddly to deal with - can imaging wicking will be a pain also.

I'll get some Ti wire next week and see how that is.

UKDTweak · 16 Oct 2015 at 17:49

I have 30awg NI200, its a royal PITA to work with, sneeze and its ruined, do yourself a favour and get some 26awg TI for the Aromamizer, far easier to work with and re wicking is as easy as kanthal

26awg Ti twisted with 24awg Kanthal is vaping beautifully in the crown RBA.

I've not got a pair of batteries with a decent charge in the so I'm getting weak battery messages but its taking 45w over a 2 second toot to hit 420F

Took a bit of trial and error on steam engine to get the right TCR for the DNA200. Cotton is still white on a dry burn test at 420F and starts to brown very slightly at 430F

If your getting weak battery then im guessing battery sag is pulling your batteries voltage down to the DNA200 safe limit cut off of 3.09v, you can check it in Escribe Device Monitor, open it and let it settle to see what voltage the Pack and Cell 1&2 are at, then take a puff to see what they drop to..

- Temp Control is brilliant.
- As I thought it shines with a RDA and extracts every little bit of juice/flavour before it hits protection mode preventing dry hits.
- Not too impressed with the Velocity, but then that is because of the limitations with Ti. I found a vertical build was better.
- Ti is very springy, how do you manage to get a macro coil that keeps it shape without having to dry burn it which I thought was not advisable?
- The EVIC vtc mini is a good affordable mod however the firmware is buggy. I place a new atomizer and it is temperamental, i.e it doesn't ask if it is new or the same. When I go back to vaping an hour later when it has cooled down it will ask me if I placed a new coil on it. It is not sensitive enough to newly built coils that have a minor change in resistance 0.01ohm.

Anyone tried the Nautilus?

Seemed highly recommended so bought one, but I'm getting no flavour at all from my juice.

I've left it for over 30 minutes to soak up some juice it makes no difference, I get more flavour from the cheapo Vapouriz sticks.

Bad coils? bad tank? I don't understand what I've done wrong, I've tried 3 coils so far.

Suggestions?

Doesn't seem right. What battery you got? Power you hiding and resistance of coils?

I know

that's what I meant, was waiting for batteries to charge before I could try it full.

It wasn't good, must have been a hot spot on the coil so the first pull with enough power for a big preheat was a lovely lung full of burnt cotton. It was chucked on the pile of crap on my desk and swapped for the Lemo2 as it annoyed me. Will rebuild it in the morning.

Pay day Tuesday so I'll be ordering an Aromamizer

UKDTweak · 16 Oct 2015 at 21:39

Another one to join the growing club, the Armomamizer will def cheer you up once you get it running, not had a burnt hit using rayon and 220c on the DNA200 vaping a tank dry on both the crown and aromamizers, but then my coils are spaced so less risk of hot legs.

FA has new flavours

Five Fabulous New Flavours!

We now have in stock three standard flavours, Condensed Milk, Peanut, Yoghurt, along with two blended flavours, BongoJuice and CustApple.

Condensed Milk and Yoghurt are currently very popular with DIY vapers, whilst Peanut remains a firm favourite and is allergen-free.

BongoJuice is a delightful combination of fruits with the end result reminiscent of the original and famous fruit juice in a carton.

CustApple is just what it implies, rich Custard poured over the sweet and crisp Apple Fuji for a mouth watering flavour.

Condensed Milk, Peanut, and Yoghurt have been reformulated as DAP free flavours; they do not use Diacetyl or Acetyl Propionyl.
The Yoghurt flavour does contain a small percentage of Acetoin in order to retain its flavour profile; Acetoin is not currently considered
potentially harmful but we advise againt using it at extreme temperatures.

Many thanks,

John.

Think I will get a DNA200 or SXJ TC based mod next. This Evic is no good for it. Are the temp readings accurate on both of those devices? I set the Evic to the highest setting 315c and I expected it to be hot however it's just warm.

I've been waiting almost all month. Having to replace my DNA200 board wiped out my vape "budget" for the month. Glad I didn't order the V2 Ctulhu
