I agree cotton is better.

For very short puffs your logic on crevice hydrodynamics is sound but for puffs longer than 1 second those crevices become vents and would not act as you describe.

I believe firmly in using the right tool for the job and you have clearly found the right tool for how you vape :D

Crevice hydrodynamics…now we're talkin'. :D

True that, crevices are vents. See below, iPhone 1sec, 3 frame to full target temp. Even such tight tensioned fused vent, thankfully.

I get great Clouds and i vape 50/50 juice all the time! i do it for the Hot :evil: TH of the 1second pull :shock: That feeling when you used to use stinkys and get down to the end where you'd give it a few sharp puffs before chucking it!

You are a glutton for punishment, aren'tcha? Sounds like you're out to fashion some right smart vape bomb. Careful you're not put on the watch list.

The slippier the slope, the faster you slide.

Good luck slip. :D

I'll get there one day, still working on the tickle finger thingy technique like master slipp told me to..lol
I have to get me some building attys. The only dripper I own with capabilities isn't that capable if you know what I mean. Nothing fits so I have a bunch of clapton coils to look at. I hear it's going to be against the law in vape shops on the 8th,,.smh wish I was able to curse but I'm sure we all all the same way.
So my wish list is as follows, Goon, petriv2, twisted messes 2 and maybe a mage or a split just because they look really nice on box mods. That's going take a while, no money to play with...[emoji16]

Have a good weekend my friends....Vape on!!!!

It will be illegal to sell attys in shops over there? dam!!

I have three petri's i dont like em, my Tm2 broke on me But i think it might be due to being a clone, shame cus i really liked the deck setup on it.
The velocity rda is still a vgood rda, i recently bought a couple of the mini versions and they are absolutely great in the flavour department, i prefer them over the stnd version, i was gonna stock up on some more But i went and bought a Limitless, then bought another! :p the plus version has good sized post holes, i can't put these rdta's down since buying them.

Keep working your ticklers and have a good one to;)

Agreed, can't go wrong with the original Velocity or the new mini. Bit pricy but worth it. I don't know if there are clones of the mini but I saw they cloned the original so most likely.

Not as pretty as some of you guys builds but I like to keep things simple and this build just works well for me.

Dual spaced 26 gauge ni80 coils, 9 wraps, 2.5mm ID and wicked with rayon. I normally run this between 45 and 50 watts. :)

Nonsense that's a handsome build, fancy isn't always better. Though I do now have a sore neck, thanks for that.

On above build you would probably have seen better results in both vapor and flavour by having the round wire claptoned around each individual main strand and then having the ribbon fused around the two strands, you would create more crevices for the juice to move in and around. With the way you have made it the only thing the fused round wire is really doing is holding the parallels together, also the ribbon wire isn't very wide, it's hugging your main wire to tightly to create any crevices and make a difference, you could go with a wider ribbon which would kind of create scoops once wound onto your mandrel of choice.
See in this pic how the ribbon creates gaps where your juice will want to go, the juice always wants to run to the source of the heat which would be these little pockets that are surrounding the main wire..





I don't mean to undermine you but this build above isn't a Staple coil, it's a glorified ribbon build with a fused stagger over the top. A Staple coil has the ribbon sitting on its edge, it's a Huge upgrade from having the ribbon wire just laid on it's face against the wick.
Boden i couldn't let you walk away thinking that you had made your mind up on the performance of one with your own interpretation of how it should be built, you need to try the real Mccoy!
Here's a pic of a Naked framed Staple coil, but it's mainly to show you the orientation of the ribbons..


Another thing that i think is appropriate to talk about as regards the fancy coils is that ive been finding cotton superior to rayon, i find that rayon supplies the juice to quickly and makes the pulls hotter and even shorter, it's fine in most situations where the rayon is being fed continually from a source but cotton lends itself much better.
I'm quite adapt at using rayon, ive used it for a long time with single strand type coils when i had no chance of making a fancy coil but i had to allow for the way it supplies the juice.
A good guide as to wick the Hotter fancy coils would be the following video, although i use ... cotton pads as apposed to cotton balls and i don't tend to have the wick tails as long or bushed, i normally go for enough wick tail to reach the deck or source.


That ribbon is super spiffy clean bro, good job to all of you guys

I don't know if its going to be illegal to sale rebuildable attys but it definitely will be illegal to build them for customers....Then you have to have customers sign a risk agreement if you sell them a sub ohm coil head, an rba, a regulated or mechanical mod. That's only for now, in 2 years I'm sure anything that has to do with vaping will be very expensive or illegal if doctors, pharmaceuticals and tobacco companies cant take over the industry..Hostile takeover starting with the FDA's BS regulations.... we need to fight for our vape culture, right to build and mod.

You're absolutely right. Let's just hope that enough people stand up against them.

I build this last night, got my concept finished too but not going to post it just yet.
3mm n80 double corrugated ribbon core, double stacked with 3mm n80 cores, framed with staggered Clapton 28/36, stapled with 40 gauge n80

Came out flawless. Gonna coil it today. Took only 2-3 hours, I wanted to make something easy compared to the last 3 days I spent on my concept.
