    The New Official Post Your Coil Porn Thread

    Great minds think alike. Atleast that's what they say. But in this case it's slightly stupid minds think alike haha. That's what I went with but I think dotbuilds only takes pics from builders with more recognition on IG. Like only the "cool kids," but whatever, I ordered my Petri v2...

    RDA Round-Table Discussion and Lookout

    Thanks for the sum up on it. I have a lot of stuff to sell right now, probably gonna post an ad on the vape trader sooner or later. But it's on my short list of atties to buy. I just ordered a Petri v2 last night :D

    Colored and finished. Trying to figure out which picture to post to IG for dotbuilds. Specs: 28g frames, 4 ply .3x.1mm in between & a 38g wrap. 8 wraps for max surface area on my Petri. The colors look like a sunset on the ocean from the outside in on the coils. Great coloring off of them. No...

    Any advice on just getting te pheno-l would be great. I'm considering picking it up, but have heard a lot of complaints about it to go along with the good things I've heard.

    Help with Dripper recommendations Please :) ?

    A Petri would be nice, but they're $100 not including the drip tip. Sapors do have insulator problems. Don't jump the gun. Velocity is over-recommended and I'm not too big a fan of it. There's a ton of hype behind it and I personally find - even with all those airflow options - the vape to be...

    Random, but anyone have the Pheno-L with the top air sleeve/cap? If so, thoughts? Recommendations? Opinions?

    Post pictures of your working wick and coil setup

    First off - thank you, it's cool to hear someone thinks my work is good, I'm always super critical on it. Secondly, the ribbon cores, once you get the hang of it, are incredibly easy to set up and make. That particular wrap though using .2x.2 square wire for the alien wasn't the easiest to keep...

    Wicked n juiced up! @WharfRat1976 @LilWhiteClouder i color my coils on mech mods. Mostly on my parallel box, but sometimes on a single battery mech. And these are the kinds of colors I get, unedited; First stage, Second stage-Final stage I start with one battery in my parallel box, then as...

    Installed :D. My Super Bowl coils 28g frample 4 .4x.1mm, square .2x.2 alien wrap Edit; @Mrez yes the stitch has to be longer than your stretch decored Clapton to cover the full length of the alien wrap, which is why I say start small and cut 5' of alien wrap in 34 or 36, whatever you want &...

    RDA RDA with solid bottom post holes?

    Hyon Pugio has it (overpriced garbage), postless* atties have it, Pi2, Hannya, Evil Monk. REMatty, Rogue RDA, & the JayBo (or JayBo/Wismec now) Bambino all have it too. Hope this helps ya Edit: solid post holes, I misread your post. I thought you meant a post hole that was milled straight into...

    Stitched aliens come in all shapes and sizes. Do you know the specs of the stitch he was doing? When I do my stitches I either go 3 core or framed stapled. However, he may be referring to the kind where the stitch is a thicker gauge than the wrap. They come out pretty well, only thing is that...

    With 28g cores I usually go 5-6 wraps on a 3mm, 6 wraps especially for my Kennedy 24 because it spans over both of the airflow holes on the deck. I coiled up the 15" of 28g/.4mm/square alien and got 3x 6 wraps on a 3mm & 1 6&1/2 wrap on a 2.5mm for a between the post build on the Petri. But...

    I probably use 28g more than anything else. If ya don't have any use for it, I'll take it :D

    RDA Sapor RDA by Wotofo

    Claptons vary widely based on gauge. Yeah a 24/28 Clapton isn't really the best, but for example, a 24g with a 34g & up wrap is a much different vape. I would use 28g as a core wire in a fused Clapton, with a 36-40g wrap to keep the surface area from getting too thick. Claptons aren't over...

    RDA Velocity Style With Single Coil Airflow?

    VCM Glacier V2 as well as the STRO mini and STRO OG mini. All under $60. @Kenndall the STRO OG mini has AFC control and a single coil option Edit: phenotype-L is also a very good option (if you have a twisted messes atty that cap will fit on it), and they just released a top airflow sleeve/cap...

    RDA Kennedy 24mm RDA thoughts.

    No problem. I'm 99% sure the K22 dragon cap drip tips fit the K24. On Kennedy's website under the "build your own," for DT it says "Dragon (material)," so I think they'd say "24mm (material)," if it was a different tip.

    Mad Hatter RDA Issues! (Hot spots!)

    Should never be glowing like that when it's wicked and juiced. Pulse, pinch, & prod until the hot spotting goes away or build another coil or a duals.

    I concur. You may be hot spotting in one spot before the entire coil heats and not know it, causing a very bad taste, giving the illusion of putting out vapor. Also - you really gotta pulse, prod & pinch your coils til your hot spots go away. When I'm coloring a coil, I pinch it with ceramic...

    RDA Kennedy 24mm RDA thoughts.

    A dragon cap is a dragon cap. They should fit the cap they're made for.
