I use the red enameled wire from the 3 pack at Rat Shack. The green is heavier & fits, but the enamel comes off mine easily. It may be old. The ceramic can scrape it off so you need to measure for a short from the mesh near the cup bottom. I prefer to make an area in the mesh bigger than the...

Post #1 has the link back. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/atomizer-mods/65250-making-atomizer-coil-101-actual-working-methods-only.html Most supplies have to be ordered online. Another nichrome wire source is: PnJ Resources, LLC : Nichrome 80 All of my tutorials were to be put in...

I stopped by to catch up after being away for a bit. Why does Ms. Klein's statement "there's a domestic tobacco industry that we're protecting" stick in my mind?

Well, I like you am in it to be self sufficient if needed and if it goes well be that way anyhow. Flavoring isn't a problem. I need to do another few shots. I didn't have worm issues and never put anything on mine. I had a few leaves develop holes or edge issues, but the rest were and still are...

Haven't been on much sorry. The heavier ga should last longer and be more durable overall. The problem arises with needing the longer length and where to put it all withoout shorting the coil. At least in a standard atty. The 801 by far has the most room of the standard ecigs unless you cross...

Sorry to hear that WerkIt. The Cubans do very well in shade and mine are still going strong. Removing a few leaves that are browning now as the cold nights set in. They still have 80% of their leaves! They both maxed at abt 5ft and the leaves just get bigger. I caught them in time and topped...

Dan, 35ga NiCR 80 shows 20.72 ohm/ft. 1.25" would be 2.157 ohms. Pretty close and little extra length is needed for your specs. Pelican Wire Company There is a supplier on ebay that has it $3.49 for a 30ft spool with free shipping. They show 232ohm/m ? I hope thats a misprint cause that is way off!

Yea, I ordered 36, 34 & 32ga from them. 2.3ohms in 1.25" is gonna be tough in 34ga. PJN 34ga is 1.38ohm/in. So, 2" will give you 2.77ohms. Taking into account the soldered portion it looks like abt 1 3/4" will be close. You could do the coil dia a little bit larger and make that work. IMO. Since...

Looking good Dan.nice work. Have you tried the nichrome 80 yet? I got mine today so I dont have any protos made up yet for anything. They should do better.......I just dont like the iron factor at that %. Seems its asking for premature failure when a non iron type is easily available. Seems its...

For good or bad mine are all still growing. lol The Cubans have huge leaves now and are abt 5' tall. Both plants just started to bloom abt 2 weeks ago so I topped them. I've only collected 5 yellow brown leaves from them. The Rustica is continuing to bloom so I didn't want a cross. Although, I'm...

Nice design and those wood enclosures are beautiful. If you made the coils plug in with something like the IC sockets or SS screw setup(check Dan's Pill Fob Atty or G120 post by Kelemvor) in a SS tube and the ceramic paste plugged bottom....you may be selling those! The coils would be...

I used and really liked the Wiretron program yrs ago, my XP 64bit server software doesn't like it. Even forcing mode switching.....odd....still, it doesn't work for me now so I tend to find resources easy to use and access for myself and others and give examples. I have used the extended wick...

The longer wire will draw less current(amps). It shows that on the calculator too. Just plug in 2 of the values and you'll see the result. You have to clear them for a new calculation. You can leave one value in like the 3.7v . Since your original is 1.4ohms, and 3" 1.6ohms, the battery you...

The longer the wire the cooler it will be as long as the gage remains the same. 30ga Nichrome wire is 6.75 ohms/ft or 0.5625 ohms per/in. 2.5 inches would be 1.4 ohms. 3.0 inches would be 1.6875 ohms. Run those numbers through the calculator: Ohm's Law Calculator Using 3.7v with 1.40625...

As we discussed, this is due to the lower conductive oxide coating that forms from the initial exposure to air when heated. If the coating falls or is cleaned away and new oxide forms, the resistance of the wire does increase. There is an odd catch though. When this happens repeatedly the smooth...

Posey, Thanks for your interest. Normally wicking up isn't a "normal" configuration. Most regular atomizers are fed via an inverted cart to a porous metal bridge. The wick is normally tucked under the bridge to keep it wet. Mist is drawn up from the bottom and sides as a draw is taken through...

Hi horton. Thanks for your interest in making your own atty coils. When soldering nichrome wire, the nichrome doesn't want to take the solder nearly as easily as the copper or nickle plated wire. So, to promote a good connection there are a few things that need to be done. I'll explain it as I...

Confed999, That's great! They just get easier from now on! When you have a few dead ones, you can do the group method of making a few coils one night, and doing them by batch say 5 at a time when you have everything ready. Not trying to do it all in one night just to get one going. I have 10...

Well jojo, guess I'm doomed...................:facepalm: There was a story abt Hell and the air conditioning that showed up there. Seems an Engineer was sent there by mistake. God was angry and asked the :evil: to return him immediately or he would sue the :evil:. The :evil: looked at God and...

I had a few leaves yellow and I took them. 2 of the Rustica I topped, the rest still have the flower heads. The heads are still green, I expected diff. It's been 3 weeks since I took pics and fertilized. The Cubans took off. Leaves are much bigger. It's been horribly dry here, heat 95+ many...
