I have a Hexohm box mod. It goes up to 110 watts. When I build too low it burns the cotton very fast.
This is poor wicking, and/or wick fit-in-coil.
But if I build too high it's not warm.
This is heat flux value. Coil radiant heat, expressed in mW/mm2... or milliwatts per millimeter squared.
and there is less flavor
Too much heat, without adequate air flow and wicking can cause a loss of flavor.
and takes longer to produce vapor.
This is called "heat capacity". This is a value representing "time to temperature". The higher the value, the longer the time to temp.
My question is, using kanthal where should I be at when I put my atomizer on my ohm meter.
There can be hundreds, thousands of options here. Telling you something, and it being right for you are two different things. I'd rather teach you how to sort it out yourself.
If you were a mech user, you have Ohm's law as your guide. As a high watt VW user... you can force wattage to builds that are less than optimal. This is your error... unbalanced builds.
I'm thinking maybe a .5 but parallel that way it has more surface area and is still warm
Again... those values mean nothing without build and applied power specifics, as well as the atomizer used, to determine internal volume and potential performance.
but I wanted advice from other people before I wasted kanthal on a build I don't like. I'm content with what I'm getting but I'd like something with a lot more vapor and flavor and I know with a 110 watt box I can get a lot of both with the right build. Any advice on this?
