Hmmm... what wires were used in its making? If nichrome was used for the core, it should heat up pretty quickly. If kanthal, they can take a while to heat.

Also, how many wraps of what diameter? This will give an indication of the amount of material that you're trying to heat - the more material, the longer the heat up.

...heard they were coming out with a Eddie Van Halen coil. Sorry, just pokin'. :p

A lot of us use a KISS coil. (single coil; single wrap; Kanthal) :thumb:
"single wrap"....? Now Im confused, I understand the 'kiss' part but 'single wrap'? how does this coil look like? is there a thread with pics perhaps? Or do you mean a coil built with with a single piece of kanthal?
 

unsure

This was a collaboration of Clapton & Twisted Sister and it takes a bit of time to fire up on my new Woodvil. Soon as I get it back from Rob I'll try using a different wire.;)

Just a single, simple coil made with one piece of Kanthal. :)

. It's all kanthal so I bet that is why it's taking so long to heat up. 2mm Id. It's for sure vapeable but it could be better.
