    My dream coil

    Dude - the only way nichrome or kanthal will actually be sturdier is if you torch them. I've claptoned both. Today I've gone beyond my comfort level and decided to wrap 36 nichrome around 32 nichrome. And it actually turned out alright for doing it first time. So say for instance we have 36...

    My dream coil

    No worries dude. Thanks for the suggestions ;) #1 good luck with the new flavors dude :) #2 I understand where you're coming from but isn't heat flux also dependent on the gauge of the wire? What I mean by that is that 28 gauge seems to generate more heat flux than 24. And I've noticed...

    My dream coil

    Yeah it got me thinking so after I read your post I checked my current set up lifted the already saturated wicks and inspected really closely and it looks good. On a side note - I've crafted some pretty nice clapton coils after this double one I posted above and there was nearly no difference...

    My dream coil

    Thanks dude. I'm on an apollo mod running a vtc4. It's not that big. Wouldn't apv be a better choice for more power instead of a bigger mod with a bigger battery? Dude I honestly haven't even noticed that. Could be the reason why my ohms were jumping at one point (facepalm) Taken to heart...

    My dream coil

    So I tried it again. This just wouldn't let me sleep. 36 around 32 around 28. Figured higher gauge of nichrome 80 would heat up way faster. Well..... still lights up slow as a turtle. Now I'm like CRAP!!! well at least now I REALLY know that this won't work. Need apv for that with like 160...

    My dream coil

    Lol like I haven't spent enough as it is hahaha Do you think that Japanese koi cotton would make that much difference over regular organic cotton? And yes I'm probably choking it too much inside the coil

    My dream coil

    You know what dude? I honestly never even thought about it that way. Ok so here's my question... at this point when you're dripping and creating clouds off the first hit on the second one you usually don't do that because of the possible dry hit. At least I vape like that. And when I re-drip I...

    My dream coil

    So I was after a specific coil build that I saw online. It's like a double clapton basically. Here is the picture of what I wanted to make: So I got some nichrome wire off eBay and began building my dream coil. First 32 around 28 clapton came out nearly perfect. Then that around 24g came out...

    Quitting: Advice? Experiences?

    I've quit before a countless times like many of you guys, but never vaped. It wasn't even 2 months ago that I told my girl I'd quit smoking on her birthday. As a replacement I got into vaping, not even 2 months into it I got 2 "e-cig" devices (kanger, atlantis and Apollo clone) and I'm into...

    Kanger EvoD "popping"

    I clean mine EVERY TIME I refill it, you'd be surprised how much bad juice accumulates, even at the contact points on the battery, use q-tips and Kleenex. As for popping - I personally LOVE that sound and that feeling, especially when I'm vaping and it happens, it's like ..... :) :) :) so yes...

    Nicotine is a killer

    Thank you captain obvious. I had no idea that nicotine was addictive and destructive. Now I'm forever grateful Seriously dude, chill. Vaping is STILL BETTER than burning tobacco and inhaling all the other 400 chemicals or whatever the hell else is in cigarettes

    Nichrome 80 vs Kanthal A-1 Heat Flux

    Ok so I've built a clapton coil 2 days ago. 3 wraps, 28g kanthal around 24g kanthal. Takes about 5 seconds to get hot sitting at .35 ohms of res with 3 mm in diameter. People have said that using nichrome would heat it up faster. Assuming all the parameters would be the same for nichrome that...

    Nichrome 80 vs Kanthal A-1 Heat Flux

    So is it because of what Nichrome is naturally made out of (Nickel and Chromium) that makes it to be a lower resistance wire? Also - to re-literate - because Nichrome is lower in resistance - we would need more wire, thus more resistance, in order to match Kanthal wire in order to achieve the...

    Nichrome 80 vs Kanthal A-1 Heat Flux

    Yup. I've heard countless of times that nichrome heats up faster. But that doesn't line up with heat flux numbers when you compare the two. Hopefully the wire gurus see this thread and shine some knowledge on this topic.

    Nichrome 80 vs Kanthal A-1 Heat Flux

    I heard that Nichrome heats up way faster than Kanthal, if that's true then why is the heat flux lower? Nichrome Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators Kanthal Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators

    biggest and longest coil in the world

    Thanks dude Oh but it works ;) I just need more power

    biggest and longest coil in the world

    Watts was the first remedy for this that came to my mind. I'm like I need an apv with like 160 watts to probably get this to heat up faster. So much for dual. At least not right now. And nichrome is a good idea. Thanks dude. I'm gonna stop by my folks house today and pick up a drill and get...

    biggest and longest coil in the world

    Never again am I gonna do this by hand. I attempted a clapton coil last night WITHOUT A FLIPPIN POWER DRILL. I'm sitting there for two hours (my girl helped me, thank God for her being so patient and supportive) and I'm wrapping a 28g around a 24g while my girl is holding the other side and...

    1st 4 strand single coil

    Dang. So center the coils flip them vertical and do parallel like that? Won't the legs be kind of too long though? And do you just lay the top cotton on the posts that way?
