    What do you call this?

    @Cloudd Btw, I was looking at your build again, which is immaculate btw and noticed your insulator looks a little weird, it looks like it's got a warp in it.

    It is the v2s. The sidewall and chuff cap are thinner. I also pushed it over a bit more after I got everything glowing. Anything will fit in this deck.

    I saw all the specs on the Kennedy 24 and it looks stellar homie. Are you going to make the post holes bigger? , they look (from the web) pretty small for larger builds. But just like the Pugio I could be wrong.

    Staged heating of sorts and leftovers build. The fused lights up a millisecond slower. Single coil 26g n80x2 core 40g wrap parallel with 24 n80. Clocked in at 1.4 ohms. Great flavor.

    Looking for a little bit of advice.

    Try a 28 core 32 single clapton. With kanthal there may be some ramp up but will produce great flavor and some plumes to go with it.

    I grabbed a ultrasonic from Walmart for $25 that has 1 huge dish I it that I fill with with bottled water. Can fit 7" pieces of wire and multiple attys as well as juice syringes and other DIY stuff. Similar to attys that use tap oil, and that will not come off with just soap and water some...

    "Staged heating coil" is what most builders would call that

    Looking for a good cloud build

    Dual 22 or 24 gauge. The great thing about the velocity is ease of build, juice well you can put a decent amount of wicking in without choking the coil of airflow. After wicking push a small screwdriver through the bottom of the cotton close to the deck to make a tunnel for airflow to travel. On...

    That Sig is a warhorse homie. :thumbs: I pulled the trigger on the snow wolf ($85) til the whiteout has time in people's hands, and any bugs there may be worked out and what chipsets I want etc. etc. The pugio is awesome in concept but looks small for your style of building and the insulator...

    I used one for a few days and really liked it. My description a page back is from using it and building on it for a couple of days

    Post pictures of your working wick and coil setup

    They've gotten great reviews, but on almost every review at least one person comments on the ohms jumping around on an intricate/multi wire build. I know you're more of a single coil (If memory serves) vapor so I think it'd be perfect. It's got TONS of airflow just to let you know. The only...

    2 strands of 28 twisted as far as possible. Then flattened with toothless pliers. Throw some vg or juice you don't vape a lot of on the pliers makes flattening the spiral easier. Most important wash the hell out of it after its done. It's basically half zipper coil sort of.

    A buddy of mine wanted the staged heating coil that twisted messes made, so I made some extra for myself. 28g and 36g Ni80, 28x2 fused with 36g and 2 28g spiral wire. Clocked in at .22 ohms. Sorry for the blurry heating pic, too much caffeine today.
