What is your favorite single coil build on a 3.7 volt device ?

[flexsr]

What is your go to single coil build in terms of gauge wire, diameter, and number of wraps : (no fancy Clapton or twisted build just a "regular" wrap)

And if you have a reason please include it: For example: "I'm a flavor junkie and this is best flavor build I've found" or "I like short ramp up times" etc ...

(I know preferences may vary greatly)

Thank you very much

30ga 2 ohm micro style coil wrapped around 3 strands of 0.8mm silica in an A7 rda

What can I say, I'm a tootle puffer.

Kinda fancy, My favorite all round coil in single coil is a quad parallel 28gauge, 4 wraps around a 7\64 bit. Very good vapor production, no ramp up or down and good flavor.

 

[Baditude]

A very basic dual coil, microcoil build from 28 gauge kanthal, 3.0 mm inner diameter for easier wicking. Generally between 0.6 - 0.7 ohms overall.

For the wick I prefer either cotton bacon or Ko Gen Do Japanese cotton, ... or Rayon (cellucotton) in a pinch.

I've built and vaped my own and other's exotic builds. They're ok from a hobbyist or enthusiast perspective if you really enjoy making coils, but IMHO they don't vape any better than a simple microcoil. My motto is K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid)

Edit: Ooops! You said "single coil" build. I build a same size 3 mm diameter single microcoil with 28 gauge kanthal @ 1.4 - 1.5 ohm for my kayfun Lite on my Provari. Yeah, I'm sometimes a Tootle Puffer, too.

I find the more complicated anything is the more "Murphy's Law" applies, i.e. if anything can go wrong it will. So, the less moving parts, the less "Murphy's Law" ......or K.I.S.S. Also, perfectly happy being a Tootle Puffer......Also don''t use all the functions on my computer nor wind my vehicle out to the max on spedometer. Gad, I hate having to use instruction manuals!!! Ha! Single slightly open coil with 30 kanthal with cellucotton 7-9 wraps anywhere from 1.5 to 2 ohms gets me where I want to go......Shoot! Just probably hit the "Peter Principle" limit. LOL

What's a tootle puffer-lol? ---- baditude - I like the larger Diameter build too (you mentioned 3mm)!!--- I thought I was the only one since all I mostly see is 1/16 drill bit all the time and super nano coils-. I get burnt taste every time I go small like that!! I like a healthy diameter so the wick can get properly saturated IMO. This info you guys provided helped alot. I thought I was doing things wrong but this assured me I'm not too far off base. And I'm going to try a couple of these specs you guys provided. Thank you much !

A very basic hand wrapped 32 gauge over 3mm silica 1.8ohm 4 wraps.
Gives me great flavor

 

[choochoogranny]

Tootle Puffer = cooler vape not above 15 watts, no huge clouds, your juice will last longer. There's a whole long thread started by Katdarling on Tootle Puffing that's a rather enjoyable read. There's a whole bunch of us out there......Felt warm all over finding out I wasn't the only one!

 

[WillyZee]

8 wraps of 30ga on a little blue screwdriver = 1.8ohms

build all my Kayfuns the same and vape em at 3.7 volts

yup ... total Tootle Puff

 

[WindyCityJoe]

30 ga kanthal about 8 wraps on 2mm screwdriver usually around 2.5 ohms in a kayfun. Great flavor and enough vapor for my liking.

 

[erictho]

i just have lemos so far. i use 26g kanthal, wrapped around the 3mm post 8 times. comes out pretty close to 1.5 ohms each time by the time i secure it to the deck.
it is my go to bc i have never really preferred dual coils over single coils, i use only mechs and i am used to that being just more than fine in the way of vapor production.

 

[flexsr]

Thx "choochoo" on the tootle puffer explanation. Lol . I guess I'm a club member too. I have to find that thread you mentioned.

Glad to see these higher diameter coils - I thought I was only one who preferred that........ I kept trying to tweak my builds at these lower diameters (cause I thought it was the "right" way and 2 out of 3 of the coils would suck '!

Interesting on the 4 wrap build - another "rule" break that works perfectly fine for you. Inspires me to try some more out of norm things

I usually use dual coils. Jut today built a single coil for my Derringer, so wanted to keep it small and relatively cool.
Still produces plenty of vapor and should be better for battery life when I'm out.

26G
6 wraps @ID 2mm
0.6 ohms

 

[Jimi D.]

5 wrap .4 ribbon + 1 1/2 strands German silica = Tootle puffer flavor bliss.

1.5 ohm

Not only a Tootle Puffer but a complete technophobe on computer, so I hope I've posted the link right for the Tootle Puffer thread!

Um, boy did I mess up! Not only is my answer part of your posting, but I don't have an iPad!!

 

[bones1274]

6 wraps of twisted 28 gauge micro coil on a 3/16 or 5/16 drill bit (forgot what size long ago). Regular cotton wick and RM2 on a REO Grand. .74 ohms of pure bliss......

 

[AlB53]

6 wraps of 26g on a 3/32 drill bit, .6-.7 on the old Reo RM2.

 

[petrotech]

8 wrap microcoil of 28 AWG kanthal around a 2 mm screwdriver...1.2ish. Use it on most of my mechs. Wicked with plain jane organic cotton balls from the local pharmacy.

gives a great flavor, cooler vape, with dense enough 'clouds' for me.

what is "a 3.7 volt device"?

is it fixed at 3.7V? like a fixed voltage ego that can't handle some of these builds?
