    Guys guys guys. The coils are beautiful, but don't scare the noob off. :D

    Build whatever makes you happy. If you want to go .5 ohm, I highly recommend twisting that 28ga. And yes, after the coil is wrapped, the legs will not line up, one goes in the high hole and the other on the lower hole. The wire will be less flimsy when it is wicked, especially if you twist it...

    Trying to build on the Protank 4 Pro Rba

    Are you using the Coilmaster coiling kit? I use the Kuro one and they are very similar. However, I don't use the tops at all, never really have. I pretty much am only using the metal rod to wrap around as I know it's diameter. With smaller gauge wire, it is best to keep tension on the wire as...

    help with clapton coil

    You need the Wire Wizard tab. Wire wizard Unlike the coil wrapping page, you don't set it at your desired resistance. Instead, pick the type of coil, then the wires you are using for the core and the wrap since it is a Clapton. Then go to the top section, set the ID and how many wraps. It...

    Oh, and it measures coils .1Ω low. But I can deal.

    What is wrong with me?

    When my allergies kick in, I might as well be vaping straight VG. But I live for those two or three pulls a day where I can actually taste my juice.

    What is wrong with me?

    I have a less sensitive tongue too, I feel your pain. I don't get all the nuance of flavor a more sensitive taster would get. Just like there are super tasters, there are muggle tasters like us.

    Clapton coil question

    Steamengine is still your friend. You can even get accurate estimates for Claptons with the wire wizard.

    Clapton coil question

    It "can" be good. I have some premade UD wire in 26/32 Kanthal, but I prefer my own. You can build them higher if you want, just keep in mind that it will require more power than a single wire coil to ramp the heat up. Just like if you move to a higher gauge. I have no brand recommendations for...

    Just built this tonight after work

    Holy crap, tigers by hand? I can't even. Although I did start by making twisted wire by hand, so I guess it isn't that much of a stretch...made a few claptons by hand too. I think I was wrapping with 30ga, so it wasn't WAY long. And the coils were pretty small...I think I still have a pic... of...

    Just built this tonight after work

    Normally I would have gone the drill route the first time, but some tutorial I was watching did it by hand...so I said why not...at least the hour or so I spent on it looked and vaped OK...but I will never do it by hand again.

    Nice juggernaut! Did you do it by hand or with a drill? Only one I made was by hand and it took forever.

    The New Official Post Your Coil Porn Thread

    Fair enough. But that slack is also taken up a bit once you start winding again. And staples are far less forgiving of twists in the wires, those one were the real problem. I think that fused had a nasty weird twist in it or something...not that I was originally planning to use the wire that far...

    Post pictures of your working wick and coil setup

    The only time I had a break was when I failed to notice that the 42ga had gotten caught. I don't hold the spool, I have a place for that. I tend to pinch the wire where it is wrapping around the core/cores. For the most part it went OK, it was just not as easy as larger gauges have been for me...

    RDA rebuildable 316L surgical steel recommendation?

    Lot of good RDAs out there made of SS, it would be better telling people what kind of vaping experience (clouds or flavor) you are looking for, what you intend to use it with, what kind of coils you want to use and so on.
