Right now I'm vaping on the SSOCC 1.2 Ohm coil head with the Kanger bridge.
It reads as 1.47 Ohms when installed. I have it at 16w. It's a nice vape, but a bit restricted for me, considering the ID of the coil is about 2mm.
I may stop by the local shop today (GoodGuy Vapes, in Rockaway, NJ) and grab a 5-pack of the SSOCC 0.5 Ohm coils to verify if I want to go with them down the road. A little pricey @ $14, but I can always order more from China for less if these work out.
IIRC, the 0.5 Ohm SSOCC coils are more open with ~3mm ID on the coil, so that will allow for more air flow. When I've been rebuilding these, I'm making the coils on 3.5mm ID, and that has worked well so far. Nice slightly-restricted, but open draw...
Using SS wire in these when rebuilding is wonky, as the DNA chip does that thing where it shows 3354 degress and then OFF after about a tank full of juice, so I plan to use Kanthal in the future, and am waiting on spools of Temco KA1 in 24g, 26g, 27g & 28g from Amazon which are supposed to be here on June 2 as per tracking today.
The 24g KA1 I will use in my other atomizers, but the thinner gauges will be an option for the BB for any rebuilding.
In the Kanger-style RBA head, and in the Exocet, the most wraps you can do with 26g before the coil starts to deform as it binds to the screw posts is 6 wraps, and 7-8 wraps on 3mm ID is what I'd prefer for a 1.1 Ohm build, so I need to go up in gauge, and I did not have KA1 wire before in thinner gauges, only SS...
I don't plan to Clapton anything so I do not need the 30g+ thinner wires.
I am planning to get some SS Claptons made for me by
@Pegleg Meg since I dont have the patience any more to do it myself, and I've spoken with her via PM, and she is very accommodating to my request. I just have to decide and let her know which ones I need her to build for me.
