Micro coils and ohms description

[CATastrophe]

Amazingly beautiful Cat you rock . Has Sam built one yet? I wanna see it
That thick wires' sweet ain't it?

Thanks, Supe! I don't do coil art like some guys here, but I'm pleased with my coils. They are neat and tight and vape wonderfully. And I'm still one of those rebels who don't bother with heating/torching the wire first. I just wrap, very much like in Stat's vid and then do the pulse and squeeze after it's mounted also like Stat showed.

I don't think Sam's done one yet. But when he does, I'll take a pic.

11 wraps of 27g Kanthal at .99 ohms.

 

[dodari]

8 wraps of 26 ga. Kanthal A-1 around 14 ga. needle, .9 Ohms. Cotton wick.

On my Grand, vaping, get nice TH, lots of vapor and pretty good flavor from my diy 555 juice.

Liveone, have you reached the point where your dialed in bro? Great looking coil by the way

A recent (yesterday) observation I've made is that with the 27 ga, if you hold the fire button for about 3 seconds before hitting, it's a whole different animal . You may like it

 

[ZeroDisorder]

28AWG Kanthol
5/64" machined cylinder (.0005 runout, overkill)
7.5 wraps
1Ω

2.5mm silica. Put it in, forgot to torch it. I'll never forget to do that now. The silica seemed a little loose, but I just ran it to nearly dry and never got that "loose wick" taste. Rocking a super pungent pineapple on the Igo-L with 1x 1/16" air hole. Firing on a 4.1V 2x18650 low voltage drop box mod. Throat hit is moderate. Flavor is pretty intense. Vapor is rather cool.

WIRE: 29g Kanthal
ID: 1.5mm (.0589")
WRAPS: 7/8 x 2
RES: 0.6Ω
. . . . (1.2Ω/ea)



NOTE: This one is great with a 1.4mm air hole

WIRE: 28g Kanthal
ID: 1/16"
WRAPS: 7/8 x 2
RES: 0.5Ω
. . . (1Ω/ea)



NOTE: This one IMO is too hot for a 1.4mm air hole.

I've come to realize, pdib, that there is no longer an envelope for you to push. Your builds are not bound by any silly envelope

Those look beast bro

Thanks, Supe! The top one is my new favorite. Excellent flavor, pretty gentle, actually. It really plays well with your observation re: short toots and long epic vapes.

I want to try one of the many new ones you have rolled out but in truth, I can barely wrap one of my normal coils. I'm as lacking in close up detail eyesight as I am in patience

D*mn, pdib! You is the professor of coilology.

The glasses I never wear fix my distance site but nothing helps me see close up. I have been known to overlap my wraps on the 30ga and not know it till I test the coil

 

[super_X_drifter]

^^Well, I'll send you some, Supe.

No way bro. Your building for Two now. What kinda setup do you put on mrs. Dibs REO. Don't go sayin a dibi-crack cause I know your lyin

But thank you bro

 

[pdib]

Mama bumbles' throat couldn't handle the true light. I've got her tootin' on a "mini" with wraps not touching. ~1.2Ω. She likes the default draw of the RM2, so I have to baby the build. She takes real short draws, so I can't make her a really long micro, cause it won't heat up in time. Anyway, I built to suit and she's real happy with it.

Similar problems with eyes. Went to Michaels and bought magnifying lens, stands upright, for $14.99 makes all the difference in the world. Good Luck, well worth the money.

Yeppers, got a magnefying glass on stand with LEDs too about same price. Still hard for me to see, eyes dancing all over the place on the coil wraps. I'm also wearing 2 pairs of readers at the same time, you'd laugh your butts off to see my schtick about the time the front pair slides off my ugly nose.

Somebody said there are 6Xpower readers out there, anybody tried those? I'm going into town this weekend and if I knew who has the higher powered glasses I'd try to get a pair.
