    My dream coil

    This is the closest to perfect I'm gonna get at the moment I know I missed one spot but this 36 gauge is so hard to work on. For the scientists - 5 and a half wraps on a crappy coil came out to .270. 4 and a half on a better coil came out to a solid and stable .241 ohms. 2 and a half...

    My dream coil

    Thanks guys. In the meantime I decided to try this.... Stapled tiger coil. It came out to .173 ohms. 36 nichrome wrapped around 28 ribbon wire and twisted with 24g. I got the same results ohm wise that twisted did. The reason it's only 2 loops is because it's harder to do than fused clapton...

    My dream coil

    So what if I twisted 24s. That would use up more wire than parallel but how much "less" wraps would've needed? We REALLY need a calculator for all these advanced coils. I have a feeling it's up to you and HecticEnergy to make that happen. Oh and the diameter would be 3mm. Or 2.4mm for...

    My dream coil

    So this is the problem... Let's ignore the outer wrap and focus our attention on the inner wires since the outer wrap won't affect the resistance too much. What's gonna remain constant is the parallel 24 gauge nichrome (kanthal didn't make too much difference wrap wise, I'll explain...

    My dream coil

    How come? Too metallic? I'm really curious about this when compared to kanthal. Specifically because I didn't really notice too much difference but I know everyone's different. You got Einstein blood in your veins dude. You just went god mode in this thread. I would love to give you more...

    My dream coil

    Sounds like he went full ....... Never go full ...... lol Somebody link me, I want to see that lol You're absolutely correct. Hence my choice for 36. Even twisted said in his video that even if we try 34 or 32 gauge the flavor won't be the same. Kanthal build right?

    My dream coil

    You might be right dude. And I'm more than interested. I don't have 36 kanthal. Only 36 nichrome at the moment. I've decided to do 36 around 2 28s. I did it and it hit .44 which was around my target area for one coil. This was an absolute NIGHTMARE to do. That was 5 and a half wraps. Then...

    My dream coil

    No brother, he used 24 nichrome inside and 36 kanthal outside. I remember cause I watched it this morning. He had 4 and a half wraps and was saying his came up to like .2 or something. And yes you're right - nichrome has more mass so it should have lower resistance. I had 5 and a half wraps...

    My dream coil

    Fair enough ;) I saw that video. Personally I'm not interested in doing it that way cause I think that leaves too much room in between the wires. So in any case, I've redone it. Here's some pictures and what I came across when building this... First of all I was kind of skeptical firing...

    My dream coil

    How is it not clapton? :confused: and don't know yet dude. I had a feeling I was gonna end up redoing it so I just wanted to see how it lights up. And so far so good :thumb: Yeah that's just a tester dude. I'll build on my pretty 1.5 plume later on this afternoon.

    My dream coil

    I just did this... I know it looks like complete utter crap right now so I'm gonna redo it this afternoon and run dual. Just wanted to share with you guys that it lights up really quick. It's a fused clapton 2 24's inside wrapped with 36g. All nichrome. I'll post pictures of my new...

    My dream coil

    I don't have 36 kanthal. I do have 36 in nichrome though. What about 24 nichrome inside and 28 kanthal outside?

    My dream coil

    I'll try the clapton combo again tomorrow. Do you guys think it'd be a good idea to combine kanthal and nichrome together? Like nichrome inside kanthal outside? What gauges should I try?

    My dream coil

    Idk. I know for a fact that I used a 24g inside on that kanthal clapton. And the diameter was 3mm I think so more wire being used. Never had an issue with the posts so why would it start now. How do I even check that?

    My dream coil

    That was before I had a drill dude so I had no choice lol And it's at .395 ohms. And the connections were always Super tight on all of these builds. I'm thinking - could it be the plume veil atty? Or should that have nothing to do with it :confused:

    My dream coil

    This was the very first clapton coil I did in my life. Also wrapped by hand. What a pain. done with kanthal 28 around 24 just like the dude above but mine also had less wraps. And took my whole life to ramp up. Why? :(

    My dream coil

    I don't get it. The very first clapton I ever did was on kanthal and just like yours that was 28 around 24. That took like 8 years to ramp up. Around 5 wraps. That's the whole reason I went with nichrome but got similar results. How's that even possible?

    Dude I hear you. My thumb and forefinger and all effed up from these already lol Thank you. What clapton gauges worked best for you so far? I had an iPhone s2 long time ago. Had to jailbreak it cause I hated the multitasking limitations. This galaxy s4 is probably the best phone I had to...

    My dream coil

    Then why not go with android phone brother. And I'm a bit confused about the first picture. Is that two 26's twisted? I thought you were gonna run them parallel in a fused clapton. Thank you for sharing dude. I got a little trick if you guys want to hear it if the wraps get spread out too far...
