First coil build! Dual-Nano coil .42 ohm's. (with progress photos)

[removebeforeflight]

First off, Ill just say this was a major accomplishment for me. I have been getting off work at night and going straight to my table where I have all my little tools and things set up for building for the past three nights. I have yet until now succeeded at getting one built, tested and functioning (mind you I work 12 - 14 hour days at the restaurant I manage. Needless to say its aggravating making 0 progress and losing out on sleep over it). SO. As for some this may not be a huge deal but I feel extremely relieved.


Anyhow, here it is; My dual-nano .42ohm coil with cotton bed on my Patriot clone.


As far as diameter I used a regular sized "text book" paper clip. Wire: 26g kanthal with 12 wraps.



Here it is on the paper clip, not to shabby as far as spacing I wrapped it very meticulously

Once I got the coil mounted up I straightened it out with the clip to make sure I had leveled it where the air holes will be.
Here is a nice up-close shot of the first coil before I fired it up and compressed the two.

This is the reading I got from my ohm meter after mounting the first coil and fastening it.

Wrapping a second coil came much easier. Mounting that through the center with the other leg was a different story. But through much patience I had them all tightened down and positioned. Now to test...

Here are the two coils, fastened and testing:

I then fired it up and compressed the coils a few more times to get them to harden up in that position.


I made a light & fluffy bed of cotton for my new beauties underneath.
This is it on my mech wicked and coiled.

So for now, that is all. Please reply with criticism, pointers or opinions. Thanks for looking and vape happy everyone.

The wicking might need some tweaking, you should try running a bit of cotton through the middle of the coils then tuck it under at the ends...that said, how does it vape as it is?

It is VERY fluffed up in the picture. Once it was saturated it had laid just touching the under side of the coil leaving the center open. It vapes great. Not too hot, not harsh. It's right. Im very happy with it.

That is a nice clean looking nano-coil build. I like to build on my patriot around the .4 ohm mark as well, although I like an airy draw and more vapor so I drilled out the air holes to 1/8 in.

Great job with the even spacing and placement of the coils. Anybody would be proud of have built that bad boy.

Very nice looking build there!

Thanks to all for your replies. I'm kind of shocked there were so few responses. I was super stoked about it.

Also:I'm not sure as to why the end result wasn't spot on half of the coil I started with. I wrapped them identically.

Looks good. Hope I can wind that good when I get my rebuildable.

Once you get the hang of it there's no stopping you. With a few fouled builds I seem to have a good grasp on it.

Now THAT is awesome. Looks like it would help a lot.

Those ohm readers are not 100% accurate, but close. It could be .85 then divide by 2 you get .42...

What counts if they fire together from inside out they are equal.

I like my authentic patriot air holes at 5/64 right now. I am running a .49 dual 28 coil.

More cotton and needs to be through for more cotton to juice.

Hope it works well.
