vaping_jake Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 So i built 2 10 loop coils using gplat 26 guage wire. Total resistance is 0.45 ohms , my Ipv mini reads it at 0.4ohms. I am using Japanese organic cotton as the wic. The rda is a doge and i am using it on a nemesis mech mode with a sony vtr 4 battery. I have dripped 50/50, 60/40 and 70/30 juices on it. I have checked all screws on the deck and they are snug. The problem is, when i use the setup, i get a new wierd sound. I would say it sounds like a whistle maybe a sizzle sound. The sound even lasts a milli second or two after i release the switch. I checked the voltage cuts off when i release the switch. I have had the cap off the doge, and when powered i am not getting to much spit (not sure if thats the correct term for it). I am wondering if I used to much or to little cotton? When i inserted the cotton i made sure i was able to go back and forth with it without moving the rda deck but feeling a lite resistance. i never used gplat before, is this normal with this type of wire? I do get vapor from it, but what is making the sound? It just weird to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonculp Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I doubt I am much help, as I don't drip much any more, and I don't use GPlat. I was thinking that with some builds on my Tobh I would get it hot enough to sizzle juice that had got in the holes where the wire would go in. Other than that, I'm stumped!

Tam Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I doubt I am much help, as I don't drip much any more... I'm glad you're cured, Jason. Must've been a good doctor you saw... Sorry! I couldn't resist. Earthling789, jasonculp and GeorgeF 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeF Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Jake does it sound like bacon in a frying pan? I get that sometimes with my dripper. Especially when I first burn off the coil after removing the wick when I am about to rewick. Or when I over drip before hitting it. I have heard it also with others when they are hitting thiers.

vaping_jake Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 i am leaning more towards a whistle sound. im going to swap out the wic and try again and see if the results changes in any form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Whistling when you take puff or just when the coils heat up? I'm confused...doesn't sound like anything I've heard or experienced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Yeah that's interesting. When you fire coil without cotton, does it heat evenly from center outward? Are there hot spots? I'm assuming it's a micro coil - are there any gaps? My first guess is too little cotton. Does it dry hit quickly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaping_jake Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 When i energized the coils pre-wic, they glow from center outwards, and then glow evenly with no sound that can be heard. There are no gaps between windings. Maybe i shoudl also mention the coils are not perpendicular to the base. They rise from the center up, meaning the coil is at its heights near the end posts. SOme sort of chimney effect???? Good question with the dry hit..... i have not had a dry hit. i have taken taken 4 to 5 deep hits with no dry hts, typically i drip at that point 3 drips per coil. i do not see any burn marks on the cotton, of course can only say that with the cotton i can see. Asked a freind about it and he is curious why it doesn't insanely "spit". His thought is from the inside bottom of coil is getting wet cotton top part is gettng little cotton. His other thoery is if its vaping dont worry about it....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 As long as its hitting good,I wouldn't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaping_jake Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 ok last night i didnt have time to play with it, so i took some tweezers and moved the cotton around. now its a sizzling sound , i have not heard the "whistle" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 To me "sizzling" is good. Your friend is right...If it's vaping and your not blowing your hand or face off...your good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillBlack Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I've had a similar sound when my wick had ended up a bit too close to the air hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
