    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Another day off of work and 4 more test builds... I'll leave the tech specs on my blog and just drop the basics here.

    For those of you on android, check out an app called "twilight" it helps do the same thing

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Angus, it's not required at all but it makes things very easy to repeat. The rods go down to 1.5mm and maybe 1mm so you'll have no trouble at all with a kf.

    They hid them under conversations, but yeah I get it. I just offered a easy way to help your 3 mm coils work better, nothing else to buy either lol

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Just a quick vid on the vapor production of the fav build from my test group... on my instagram "etherealink93" if it won't load the link here. Nevermind, the link won't work :(

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Ok, I'm going to keep this quick and simple but please note that I chopped up Mac's comments just for simplicity sake. 1. The rainbowing (poor use of the term) I'm referring to is the coloring many are getting while dry firing a formed coil. See the photo: coil by Kent Hill aka Twisted Messes...

    Don't forget weight lifting lol!

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Thanks Russ, not really going for scientific but just for a result I could duplicate about what the wire did itself; looking around all I could find was break strength in newton meters and thats not something I can measure at home. Honestly, I can't tell a huge difference between the 3 builds...

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Ok, I cut this apart on purpose, since you are learning to rebuild. First, you have parts of the equation but you are moving too many variables at one time. Increasing wattage to "burn off" gunk on a coil still in a full tank will not work like dry burning and re-wicking does, you are just...

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Fair point M, quick guess... your adv is pretty high in vg and pretty sweet? Both very common to fouling coils quickly, as is post-vape-sizzle where the coil cools down very slowly after firing and continues to cook the juice rather than vaporize it almost instantly. Running high-power on low...

    Hey Sparklies! How's things?

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Imho the second vapes the best at 10lb but honestly, no, it's not all that counts. Stability and longevity as well as repeatability are a major factor for me with my job. If it takes me some wasted wire to be able to repeat 20-30 builds worth of coils that I only have to mount and wick (a 30...

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Ok guys, here's where I need the help. Sorry for flooding the thread lol. Momentary Elongation of wire, leading to adhesion of wire surfaces in a contact microcoil- Theory: The wire should stretch a minute amount and return to its original length and diameter as the tension is removed without...

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Not sure how to grade the test guys, gonna need some opinions on the results. I'll be posting it in my blog here shortly... thanks for the help in advance.

    Ok, so tapatalk no longer works to get on ecf... the hunt for a new app begins again.
