Dem builds

I think I'll just keep posting my scruffy builds in an attempt to shame myself in to doing them properly. Twisted 28 ga kanthal (two strands) claptoned with 32 ga Kanthal (my first attempt borked up, it nearly took me three attempts to do this), then twisted with a single strand of 26 ga Kanthal. Dual coils coming in at 0.24 ohms. I hand wrapped them and they look like hobo coils, the one side collapsed a lil but I was annoyed by then and didnt fix it.


Teach me your ways. good job dude!

Finished off my 32 ga making some more claptons, decided to parallel wrap them with some hive I made, (2*28)*2, after some tweaking after the dry firing they landed in at 0.12 ohms, haven't fired them yet with juice still deciding if its a good idea, they get "hot like devil".

Pardon my crap phone camera. 30ga kanthal* 3 twisted then twisted with 0.5 ribbon kanthal then paralleled with 26 ga, dual coils sitting at 0.2 ohms

Ok so i've been posting here in to shaming myself to make neater and better builds,and I feel like this represents everything I've learnt coming full circle...and yes I seem to have a twisting fetish.

So I started off claptoning 28 ga ni80 around a strand of 24 ga kanthal. Then dejacketed it and stretched it out, I then flattened it a bit. I then claptoned 32 ga kanthal around another strand of 28 ga ni80, then I took a straight strand of 24 ga kanthal and twisted all 3 together. At 5 wraps around a 3 mm ID it homes in at 0.3 ohms and is a magical vape, my RDA has no plug or anything so I have to tighten up the air flow, but its great at 78 watts. Telkom hasnt fixed my internet yet so please excuse the crappy photos I have to be tight with data.

Congrats on that new shiny next to your name. I love the patience you guys have for building, a real art.
 
Congrats to @Feliks Karp on your Coil Master medal - you've inspired me to try achieve the same :D

So I was put off making my own fancy coils a while back by some unsavoury comments/posts at some of my attempts. But like any good soldier, you get up, dust yourself down and get back on that horse dammit!

Many many many failed attempts later I managed to make my first successful Alien Coil. So I would like to immortalize it here as a memoir of where it all started and to show the progress made as I venture into more difficult builds. I know this doesn't conform to the rules entirely as it's not wicked but is just for show, later once I'm better I'll post in Builds for Coil Master.

Thanks Silver, This baby will be entering the Cloud Comp at Sickboy77's launch this Saturday. I hope she chucks as good as she looks :D
 
2*24 ga kanthal fused with 32 ga kanthal, wanted to do something that wasn't twisted but still a little "different". Vapes with the fury of a 1000 suns at 0.28 ohms a coil coming in at 0.14 ohms for the pair. I put them in the wismec neutron which I was battling to actually enjoy previously as it has a huge chamber but fairly closely placed post holes. It seems like it was built for very wide coils as these are delivering a really heavy bodied and tasty vape.

28ga kanthal, full 3 loop Vertebraid.
Very proud of this build
Dual coils come in at 0.18 ohm

gorgeous!! I'm envious!
 
Just a few coils I've attempted over the last few weeks. Most using @gasphase wire.

Wow @RiaanRed , you have such a knack for this! And the photos are beautiful.

Tell me more about this coil below and how does it vape?

Thank you @Silver.
"The Rodz" that was a beast and I had to wick all around the rodz like a dragon coil. Massive vapor production but very muted flavor.

What are the specs of that rodz coil? Resistance? And what power did you need to get it going?

The rodz is 26g NiChrome 80 and the clamps is 22g kanthal.
That single coil came out to 0.07
Did not need a lot of power, 60-80 watts and she was blowing like a dragon. Way to much for my puny lungs
