Yoh! A coil within a coil, within a coil. Within a coil. All placed within a coil.
I need to get my hands on bulk Kanthal. Anyone got some ideas?
Awesome! do it!Found some pypie at my local hobby shop
Also found some 2mm screws

Is it possible foor you to get me a pypie as well? Will pay you at the meet or as you wish.Found some pypie at my local hobby shop

That sound cool! I might just do a dual with a 1.5mm on one side and a 2mm on the other side! While the one heats up you can start sucking one the micro until the other one kicks in. Awesome idea @Hein510 !I wanna try this with a nano 26g coil on the inside and a 32g macro on the outside making it a duel coil!

Wow! Awesome @devdev ! Thank you so much! Really appreciate it a lot!!!@TylerD I actually wanted to give you some pypie as well - in exchange for the Bamboo wick you are giving me
So done deal, one 3mm and one 5mm pypie are all yours.
I think I am going to cut mine down into thirds, as the length of the lead that Riptrippers left on the coil seems unnecessarily long, and you can do without that length lead if you have a klein pypie

Awesome @devdev ! That looks brilliant! That is so cool! I will definitely try it on my side as well. Awesome pics!So I sat down with some 0.36mm Kanthal (I measured with micrometer) and got building after I had chopped up some pypie. No idea what thickness .36mm is, probably 28G
First off, to get this build right, I needed to resurrect my Igo. When I got pypie at the hobby shop I also got some M2x30mm screws. A few quick cuts with the cutting wheel on the dremel, and I was back in business with two new decks screws, which also have a much broader head (cheese head) for securing the coils.
I cut the 3mm and 5mm pypie into 50mm lengths. The 5mm seems too big, but I might have other coil related plans for it.
I followed the Riptrippers video, except because the pypie was short, I didn't tape the leg of the coil, I just held it in place.
I made the micro coil first, heated it, tweezed it, and then after cooling set about getting the outer coil sorted.
Here she is on the ohm meter - 1.8 was higher than I had wanted :|

You can't really tweeze the coils, but if you keep the needle and the pypie in place you can shift things around. I found I was able to get it pretty neat:

It looks like the leg going to the outer screw is very close to the other leg. The angle of the pictures makes it look like it is almost touching.
Here's a different angle showing the distance between the legs:

Fired it up on a fresh IMR Efest on the Magneto

It takes a very long time for the coil to heat up. I tried it with some VM Vanilla Custard 12mg, and it is a little too strong.
The positioning of the airhole is important, and I found I was making huge clouds with the airhole placed right by the coil. I landed up drilling the airhole out from 1.2 to 1.6, which gave a much airier draw.
I think I am going to need to make a new one of these, with a few less wraps to get the Ohms a bit lower
