According to Steam Engine that build would be under 0.2 ohms, and draw 25+ amps of current from your battery. That is beyond the maximum continuous discharge rating (CDR) of most high drain batteries. I would strongly suggest you read my Mech Mods 101 (Link in signature.) blog and follow the...
Wicking seems fine, I wish I would have left more above the coil like yours. Looks like my wire needs to be twisted more also, based on yours. It's a learning process as with anything new I guess. :)
OK, built a ~0.4 ohm twisted 28g Kanthal coil.
And the results...
Not to shabby, especially considering this is my first use of twisted wire and this type of coil.
American made, stainless steel, built like a tank, on sale:
ELA V2 | Product Categories | Super T Manufacturing Inc.
and
Precise WorkHorse
I have both and really like them. Bought them partially for the same reasons as you.
Yeah, I know the thread and reviewer/video you're talking about. I purchased the Strata knowing it's a different style atomizer and might require a bit of experimenting to get it working satisfactorily. I liked that it was a quality hybrid that fit my ELA/Workhorse seamlessly.
I'm most...
Thanks for all the suggestions. So a twisted 28g circular coil, keep it slightly above the deck level and close to the outside edge, that sound about right?
I was messing with it a little today and it's actually probably closer to the Atlantis with dual micro coils than I originally thought...
My Strata came in the other day and I'm looking for advice on coil builds for it. I would like something in the 0.4-0.5 ohm area that makes good vapor with an 80% VG juice. I know the Strata caused a bit of controversy when it was released, so I threw dual horizontal coils in it just to try it...
So I mixed my second batch of eliquid today, and it was a total disaster. Measuring flavorings in PG with the syringes I have is fine, but trying to draw and measure 30ml of VG with a syringe is like trying to suck a baseball through a straw. Plus as levels of PG, VG, and nicotine are getting...
Read this:

...and read the linked articles, blogs, sites, etc. Should help you out.
Danny, thanks for the feedback. I will give the Hangsen flavors a try. I'm actually really liking this RY4+AP mix, if I lower the EM would it enhance flavor and maybe drop the sweetness level a bit?
Since it seems pretty good now, I may commit to a big batch so I can put some back to steep...
I'm preparing in the same way others above stated. I now have three rebuildable atomizers and several high quality mech mods. I figure I can always get wire, batteries, and cotton, as they have too many uses to be outlawed. I just started DIY eliquid, and plan to stock up on supplies as I...
All my DIY supplies arrived today from MFS and TFA, so I mixed my first 3 eliquids. I know eliquid changes with steeping, but I just had to try them. All made with MFS 50/50 100mg/ml Nicotine Base, MFS USP PG and USP VG.
My Wife's Menthol:
50/50 PG/VG @ 18mg/ml Nicotine
TFA Menthol 3%
