    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Ego = the reason I try to present things objectively and scientifically

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Yes, total resistance. The going up in resistance is an indication that the wire is starting to stretch very slightly.

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Proteckt, Welcome to the party! I can't say that I have worked with nickel, but the resistance issues are not exactly *only* from the manufacture of the wire, they are from differences in the tension the wire is wrapped with... translating to an uneven amount of wire being used per coil. My...

    Yep, that was my vocabulary lesoson for the week lol! Sorry Mac, haven't had my coffee yet Bro.

    Ok yeah, now the new central ac is making the wiring in the house act fubar... can someone suggest a good vacation spot? Anyone? Grrr

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    On the twisted leads, make sure the outside lead goes *over* the inside lead or it will separate the two end leads when you twist them. Also, it means that your leads have to be twisted opposite ways. Learned that one the hard way.

    Ok, I didn't have enough 30ga handy to be useful but I did have a bunch of 28ga so here goes... Same process. Good luck folks

    John, bolt it down?

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Hey John, try keeping the tension on the vise grips the whole time and see that works...

    Hey Mac, how are you getting the specs of the build in the steam engine link? Post the bookmark?

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Post edited as usual lol. Mac, I totally understand the spasms. I have major nerve damage in both arms from the shoulders down and some nasty spinal injuries from the military, hence the gizmo making it much easier to make spotless coils than the pin vise. Agreed on a simple 9 wrap (at least...

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Thanks Mac, thought I'd prove they are still stable and possible. It runs 0.55Ω at 3mm and 8/7 wraps parallel... running single coil for now as I wanted to make sure I nailed the geometry and wicking before I took it to d/c. Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators Aal, it's a...

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Just thought I would share an experiment... parallel 26ga as a tmc Enjoy

    Well said Mundy, when that hits stores I'm engraving your name on it

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Pepper, That's basically what I do when I'm not testing something. Pull down on the vice grips to go for consistent tension, still running a pair like that at 80w with a .34Ω d/c build after 3 weeks. Its a learning curve but it does work.

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Interesting idea, I'll have to check it out... might require an oscilloscope

    It's a number set by the manufacturer that varies. If you look it up they probably say it's around 1.2Ω or something similar for safety reasons. There's something specific I want to mention that's related to that aspect but normally saved for cloud chasers, however, since a lot of us rebuild...

    In case you're wondering how slow work has been lately... I'm on my second translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls... :-\

    Oh definitely, I'm not suggesting anyone push the battery at all but my bottom resistance threshold on my Vision Spinner was 1.2Ω and ran a small single coil rda for weeks on end with no problem. That's not to say I didn't get lucky either lol. Also, since they are semi-regulated (not at all...

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    I don't think so in Europe Aal, is there a welding shop or metal working shop around you? I'm just using a 1/8 in rod I got from a basic hardware store.
