The Serpent Mini 22 and 25 Build Thread

I had my coil raised from the start. But with the ring on the cotton seems to be very close to airflow when you remove ring it moves a bit more naturally curved.

For some reason when I remove the juice ring I have more airflow through the draw. Is this your findings also @Rob Fisher?

Yes even if it's my imagination... I just think it wicks a whole lot better... or it could just be in our minds... but all my 25's don't have rings anymore.
 
Ok it is not just hype, tried the 7 wrap ni80 24g 3mm id coil and wicked per video in first post. Thanks, very useful.
 
For me I found twisted kanthal and of course cotton bacon works the best on my sm22. man I love this tank
 
Hows It @Silver -- The build is 22g kanthal compressed at 9 Wraps. Im not sure on the diameter as i just use any screw driver laying around. but i think its 3.5mm-- build comes to 0.58.

Ok thanks
Must have quite a longish ramp up time?
What power do you vape it at?
 
Not really.. Im Vaping at 35 W. i think only a slight delay on a cold coil. But once its warm its perfect
 
So first time building coils, here's my first try. I was pretty happy with my first build. Any thoughts, criticisms or pointers?

Ni80 24g
Cotton Bacon V2
3mm
7 Wraps

Super first build bud :)

Just a small tip. You could drop the coil down lower for the next one so that it is closer to the airflow.

But great job!

How does it vape? :D
 
Well done.

How is the vape?

Ditto what @Yiannaki said about dropping the coil a little lower.
 
Vapes good! Need a little more cloud but I'll get there.

Will keep in mind about dropping it down for next time. How much lower?

Will snap a pic of mine tonight as its at home but this pic i found on the net is pretty much what im suggesting for coil height.

You should also find the flavour to be better when closer to the airflow.

Great stuff! Will keep in mind for next time. Looking forward to seeing your build and seeing how I can correct.
 
Congratulations @Paraddicted, that looks pretty awesome for a first build. For more cloudage you could go up to 35w - 40w and you will have more Vapor. I use dual coil Ni80 26 Gauge 7 wraps and i vape between 35w - 40w.
 
I am glad @Rob Fisher started this thread. I am currently still running on my previous post here.

26ga kanthal
2mm id
8 wraps
0,92ohm
25w power

What i need help with is to understand why this build is juice heavy?

Thank you :) will up the wattage at my next vape break and see how the serpent clouds :D

Apologies for posting in the wrong thread.:eek:

Yeah that's kind of odd , smaller ID normally means less juice usage , but then again found the SM to be a thirsty bugger.
What wicking material are you using ? I can definitely see a difference between using normal cotton (Dischem bolletjies) vs CBV2 , went through like 4 tanks in the space of two hours last night with CBV2 3mm ID .....
 
I am using cbv2. When i build a bigger id it is not this thirsty.
