The BF Derringer Thread

[Riaz]

Thanks out to our resident modder, I too have a bf derringer

Did a quick build,
26g
2.5mm
6 wraps
Kgd wick
0.35 ohms

Vape is great but I think it's a little to low for the mini




Gona rebuild now with 8 wraps and see how it goes

Now this is a very good setup

26g
2.5mm
8 wraps
0.5 ohms
Kgd wick




Ohms are a bit higher than I'm used to but the vapor and flavor is right up there!

Derringer is an awesome atty

I'm really not winning with the Derringer.

Flavour just seems muted. I can't even compare it to the Odin.
My coils seem like the ones you all do. They are close to the airholes etc. but I'm just not winning.

Maybe I just don't do 2,5mm ID, but I thought the bigger ID helps with flavour? Am I misinformed?

I don't struggle with my Derringer per say, but prefer the flavour I get out of my Odin as well.

Hi @r0gue z0mbie

Post a pic or three of your build please.

 

[Viper_SA]

I do 2 to 3mm ID. Anything from 0.18 to 0.4ohm and I love it. I can suggest twisted 28G anyday of the week

I had a bit of this problem this morning. I looked through the airholes to make sure they're aligned and noticed that one coil was lower/below the airhole. I pulled the top cap off and pushed it up with my finger and it seems fine now. Try that maybe. Pretty sure I built on 2mm ID as well.

 

[Riaz]

I actually got my next build ready in my head

Planning to do a single parallel coil

28g
2.5mm ID
6 wraps

 

[rogue zombie]

I think maybe push the coils in? Closer to the posts maybe?

Derringer is not a bad RDA by any means but doesn't compare to the Odin in my opinion.

The Odin is still to this day one of the top flavour RDAs. At least in my opinion

Problem is my Odin is not bottom fed :/

Also my favourite

That can be fixed easily Head east to benoni

 

[rogue zombie]

I think I will need to do that

 

[rogue zombie]

Aargh it was driving me nuts, recoiled at 2mm. Cant say its "better", but I do prefer it.

The only RDA I've had where I preferred a bigger ID is the Marquis. And I actually lost it. Unbelievable. How do you loose a frikkin tank. But I've looked everywhere, and its just gone

 

[Viper_SA]

I did a 24G, single coil, 6 wraps at 0.6 ohm last night for the Reo mini. Did a spaced coil (first ever) and really like the flavor on that. Those damn 18500 batteries are so limiting

 

[Riaz]

Here is a pic of the build i did last night

quite impressed with the flavor and clouds

28g parallel
5 wraps
2mm id
kjd wick
measured in at 0.5ohms

@Riaz - thats great! Hope you enjoying it!

I do something very similar for my Blackbird in the RM2
Also 28g paracoil - except I do 1.6mm ID - I find it crisper

Now why did you have to go and say that LOL

Lol, no need to get stressed @Riaz -
The advantage of your 2mm ID is you get more juice in there so more puffs per squonk
Going for more crispness depends on the juice and whether it will benefit from more crispness. And your taste of course...

I have a weakness when it comes to coils- i love trying new ones all the time.

 

[Christos]

So I've been getting hit and miss builds in my derringer.

Tried a few things but the best so far was dual coil 24 awg 2.5mm ID 7 wraps.

Until today.
Decided to give clapton wire a try and I must say for my first clapton build is a success with new found love for the derringer. Used 26 + 32 I'd clapton 6 wraps .4 ohms.
Flavour is amazing.

Nice coiling @Christos

Thank you. Clapton looks rather easy to work with but it's slightly tricky.

 

[Riaz]

This is my build at the moment

Twisted 28g
2.5 ID
5 wrap
0.6 ohms



Using it on the reo mini

Vape is awesome, flavor and clouds top notch

Yeah it does take a bit of heating up and shaping to get it perfect
