I've been vaping for just over a year now and, like most, chasing that "perfect vape". The perfect vape for me is a nice dense cloud (only after a few second drag) and packed with the flavor from the e-liquid. For the past several months I've been using an IGO-L with a pretty basic setup: a few wraps of 30 gauge kanthal around some doubled up silica wick. This gave me around a 1.2 - 1.5 ohm coil that I could enjoy on both a mech and variable mod. This configuration worked well and I truly enjoyed the performance (although it seemed as if I was rebuilding the coil every other night for no apparent reason).
A few nights ago I came across a YouTube video (RiP Trippers) that showed off a new coil on the block: The Diamond Coil! I was so intrigued with this setup that I just had to give it a try. After a few failed attempts trying to use my standard 30 gauge kanthal, I decided to try out the 26 gauge that I picked up accidentally. After following the how-to in the video I quickly built one for myself. Ending up with a 1.2 ohm coil.
I have to take a moment here to take a puff...
Wow.
This coil is amazing. I take that back. This coil is AMAZING! I've never tasted my e-liquids like this before. All of the flavors are so pronounced and fresh tasting. Vapor production is equally as impressive. Incredibly dense fog.
One of the best things is that once you have a solid coil in place you can just rewick it using cotton. Yes, I've jumped head first on the cotton train. Toot toot!
I am so grateful to the vaping community and for all that they share. I've enjoyed this so much that I share my experience with this setup and how AMAZING it truly is.
I haven't seen a post here on this particular topic, but I have a feeling that it will be a very popular discussion once people give them a try.
I probably still have a little tinkering to do, but my first attempt was pure bliss.
I hope more people give this a try and post their reaction.
Happy Vaping!
