Bearded Viking Coils

It works for all types, Kathal, SS and Nichrome.
I do it with my SS mesh coils.
Just another tip.
Do not use any metal objects when working with your coils. The metal will scratch the surface of the wire and expidite the degregation, and build up of chromium on the coil.
Only use ceramic tweezers to pinch and strum coils for hotspots.
Scrubbing the coil with wire brushes to clean is also a absolute no go.
There is no need do this when using the apple cyder.

Pineapple vinegarwill any vinegar work ?
Yes you can use apple cyder, grape and even plain vinegar..will any vinegar work ?
The reason I use apple cyder is because if you don't rinse coil properly you will get a slight vinegar taste for those first couple of pulls until it flushes out.
The apple cyder in this case at least has the least of that bitter vinegar taste.
Note this will only happen if you haven't rinsed coil properly

The coil maker that makes the Bearded Viking Customs coils paid me a visit this morning to drop off a whole range of coils to play with! The first test was the Hybrid Aliens. I now remember that the resistance changes depending on the temp of the stainless steel. I was a bit boggled when the resistance was different depending on which mod I put it... then it dawned on me!
I love the way the coils turn blue after pulsing them. The first test was great and while there is a little crackle to the Hybrid Aliens the flavour was superb! Just not TV watching friendly and my wife will hurt me if I use these in the TV lounge!
Been using the #42 coils for a while now in my Blotto's , they last much longer than some of the cheaper coils .
Was really impressed with the ones @charln sent me last year, especially his Hybrids (including his MTL hybrids) allowing me to get the flavour I prefer using N80 while being able to use with Replay (my favourite feature), looks like over the last 9 months he has been working really hard to increase his portfolio, looks a nice assortment!
I actually love that fireside crackle which is a characteristic of his coils!
Next up is the Fralien A 2x29.0.3/38 six and a half wrap 0.37 - 0,37Ω on the packet. 0.46Ω on the DNA60 and 0.42Ω on the DNA100C. Fired at 28 watts!
Again excellent flavour and I guess that will be expected from quality wire and a quality build. But this is one is a noisy oyster and the crackle would be great for my mate @BigGuy but too much crackle for me and especially for my wife!
Hybrid is still leading the pack. I think the little bit of stainless steel gives that bit of crispness!

Looks great @Rob Fisher !
I need to investigate these too
But I am MTL at lower power - around 20 Watts

He has a superb mtl alien Mr silver! @charln makes the best coils in the business
Thanks @Rob Fisher
What's the connection between Bearded Viking Customs and Charln?
And why aren't they supporting vendors of the forum?
Not aiming it at you - but they should come forward and register
No brainer

(I actually use his MTL coils at 18w, 15w with a tighter draw)
Both @charln's MTL Aliens and Hybrid MTL Aliens are the best MTL coils I have used like @Rob Fisher pointed out they do give a crackle but like a fireside crackle a little different to the norm which I find quite relaxing, not sure if it's the particular wire he uses! The hybrids are so stable using replay and give top notch flavour and i find his MTL coils have a wider sweet spot for flavour so can use a range of wattages without that flavour suffering! Just a note to @Rob Fisher after about a day of vaping the crackle does subside!
So tonight I installed one of the 2.5mm #42’s fraliens from @charln into my gear rta which used to be one of my favourite little flavour atties but seemed to have been warming the bench in recent months.
Forgot to take a pic but will see how she runs over the course of tomorrow but the first couple of puffs were yummy.
these coils really are lekker!
