All wicked up and ready to go. I had to remove 2 x wraps so the coils would fit in the exoset but still comes in at .2 ohm and running it at about 32w.
Loving the flavor of NCV Strawberry Milk.

I was very tempted to NCV strawberry milk the other day and talked myself out of it cause I've bought so many concentrates. Is it good?
Very good. One of the only strawberry juices I will buy. The flavor is on point and almost tastes exactly the same as a good old Wimpy strawberry milkshake.

Mmmm, feeling buyers remorse now. Next time for sure!
I like the way you put the leads. I do mine the other way but will give this a go I think. Easier to get the coil lower down to the airflow it looks like.
Yeah, I found it easier to adjust the coil and get it lower. Also adds a slightly tighter draw.

Rebuilt and did it that way and so far so good. Came out a bit lower than I wanted cause I used different wire plus I wicked like a stupid but flavour is lekker so I’m happy.

My camera skills suck! Some BVC ni80 mtl aliens!
If you're an mtl lover, these coils are phenomenal! Still early days and I need to play around with wattage adjustments and airflow options but off the bat, these are winner coils!
Got my hands on some hybrid 2.5mm.
Fantastic flavour for my fruity ice flavours

Been loving the BVC mtl alien in my dvarw mtl so much I decided to give some life to my dotaio again.
Ever since I got my aegis boost, my dotaio has been shelved... Decided to throw in a 2.5mm mtl alien from BVC and boom she's back in action! So far a very crisp clean mtl deliver! Flavour is on point.
Will report back after a week of vaping.

@Rob Fisher please give an update on these coils? Reading @Jengz posts just make you wanna go out and buy some now
You don't need to convince me @Jengz ,I have used a few fancy coils and the BVC hybrid aliens were the best by far,my last set lasted me 3 months so I decided to change them,the new set also by a well known coil maker is very disappointing after just 1 week,it feels like I'm using it for a few months,can't wait to get more hybrid aliens,I doubt you get better then this
I need to try these. I hear you, you buy fancy coils and they’re dead after a week or 2 and the flavour is kak.
these look lekker
I am so frustrated today,it's about 1 week now that I changed to a coil that cost R180/set normal price,I paid R140 but it would've been much more worth it to put R110 more and buy the hybrids,atleast I know for the next 3 months I'm sorted.Everyone should try these coils atleast once in there life
I recently bought 12 sets of BVC #42 coils from Bearded Vikings Customs and honestly, the are the BEST that I ever used, and I did use coils from MTerk and other well-known coil makers! I am running all my HexOhms and Reload 26/Juggy V2 setups with 2.5mm #42 BVC coils and not one has failed on me and have firing issues. Flavour is REALLY great, even with heavy iced liquids and and dark dessert juices.

Flavour is REALLY great, even with heavy iced liquids and and dark dessert juices.I've been running a set of hybrids for over 7 months now and i still get snack crackle and pop, I've noticed that yes after about 5 months i need to rewick more often but I'm ok with that as the flavour is still on point.I am so frustrated today,it's about 1 week now that I changed to a coil that cost R180/set normal price,I paid R140 but it would've been much more worth it to put R110 more and buy the hybrids,atleast I know for the next 3 months I'm sorted.Everyone should try these coils atleast once in there life
I've used every single brand in SA and BVC hybrids for my icy fruit vapes cannot be beaten!
hi @Jengz what is your cleaning procedure ?
I firmly believe the longevity / performance of a coil depends on how they treated / maintained
regards
Hi @vicTor, I use warm water and a coil brush to clean out all the gunk left by the cotton and juice.....I am also looking to get a small sized Ultra Sonic cleaner to clean the coils even more. But if you have a tap and water and a coil brush (Coil Master brushes is my choice), then you ready to go!
Here's a tip for coil cleaning..
Nichrome coils continue to build up a layer of chromium on their outer surface..
No amount of water dipping, pulse dry burning or scrubbing will clean that layer off.
Ever noticed how over a period of time your coils loose their shine and go almost a charcoal grey matt color with muted flavor.
The only solution to remedy this is to use an acidic base cleaner..
Get some apple cyder vinegar (available from your local supermarket)
Pour into a little holder, I find the measuring cup from a Vicks MediNight bottle works like a charm..
Glow heat coil and dip glowing hot coil into the apple cyder.
Repeat this heat and dip process until coil is sparkling clean.(the dirtier the coil the more dips it takes, by the 4th time it should be sorted)
You will be surprised to see how much gunk is floating in the cyder after this..
No need for scrubbing and your coil should look as pristeen as the day you bought it.
Lastly, then rinse coil under water and then pulse coil at a very low wattage ( with just enough heat to dry coil, don't glow red hot)
Volla, you be surprised at the result, coils will last much longer to and period between cleaning coils will also be extended.

I take out cotton, and rinse with warm water, leave to air dry then dry burn at 18 watts, i dont believe in strumming coils, if there are hot spots on coils i do gentle pinches with a ceramic tweezer., once coils are are good for wicking i leave them to cool for 5 mins or so then wick.
Oh, and As @DougP stated, i dont over dry burn my coils to glow them too much but enough to know no hotspots are creeping.
