Just finished up my first build using 24 Guage kanthal with 9 wraps. It's a dual coil build that came out to .49 ohms. It's not the best looking build but for my first attempt I guess it's not too shabby. It was built on my mutation x v4. 40-45w was about as high as I could go before it got too hot for my liking. just wanted to share it.

The flavor isn't too bad. Definitely different than using my tanks. I did get an awful dry hit. Rookie mistake I suppose. Lol not used to having to drip.
It's definitely a different experience. I don't have a dripper atm, but I did a few builds on my buddy's tugboat for him. The flavors are... different in drippers, at least for me. I taste more, especially the little hints of flavors and the aftertastes. Dry hits are worse On a dripper lol.
Nope no jig. Just used a screwdriver. I won't lie the first coil I tried I screwed up. It took me twice to get them nice and neat. I also just did this single coil build on my freakshow mini. .69 ohms. Bout to fire it up and see how it goes.
I just did a spaced, continuous, double, braided 26 gauge coil. .13 ohms 
, chucking clouds that are nice and warm. First braided coil I've built.

Hopefully ill work my way up to that someday. Baby steps. Lol
Baby steps for sure. The learning curve is quicker than you think. Just be safe with it, learn all you can
That looks great 
not saying anything against it, again great job! But I just picked up a coil jig a few weeks ago, after doing it by hand forever, I'll never go back! Makes it a lot quicker and easier. Worth looking into, just my opinion.

Looks Pretty Damn Good to me.
BTW - Style Points for Perfect Coils and Completely Symmetric Wicks is Cool. Not Smoking because you are using an e-Cigarette is Priceless.
Looks good for sure. Only thing I can see is you might want to put some shoulders on your wicks so they dont collapse and develop hot spots. The coil is nice though.
That looks great
^^^^^
Me too. Got a coil jig thing a few weeks ago, and whenever I need to wrap a new coil in the future I at least have a tool; only had to wrap once so far. Kinda like buying screwdriver instead of trying to use a penknife.
Hey VHRB2014,
I have the collapse problem. How do you I prevent that? shoulders? I am using the Koh Gen Do pads.

The ebay "Monkycabletech" JOC that I use is so efficient I have to use just a little more then I think I would need, because if I don`t it will over saturate, collapse and then spits or leaks depending on what its going in.
And Iv found shoulders help with gravity`s natural pull on the wick which will help it collapse, and pull it away from the coil after a little while if its not just the right density. Fluff it up and build up a slight camel hump right before the coil, this also gives it a reserve if you are hitting it hard.

Thanks everybody. Was hoping for some positive feedback. I'll definitely look into that jig. I was actually going to order one but decided not to. It's on my list for future orders.
