316L stainless has a little molybdenum in it, for the benefit of welders. I don't do any welding with my vape gear, so I use 304, also commonly known as 18-8, which is used for surgery and better stainless steel cutlery. I get it in 1 lb dispenser cans from general aviation shops, who list...

Fifteen second example, not pretty, but functional: 8 or 9 quick wraps of ss 304 approx. 27 gauge. Then I compressed it with long nose pliers, and annealed over gas range, let air cool about ten seconds. Ready to install. OK. I usually take a little more time, and make a more...

Six or eight weeks ago, I was in the same boat. -Had never wrapped a coil, and was frightened that I'd screw up something so many other people could do. -Had no fancy, or even basic, coil winding machinery. Looked at my tools, which included a set of six small screwdrivers. ($1 at Dollar...

Right you are. When I ventured into the oh so female world of Sally's, I believe they had smaller than 500' packages of rayon, but I don't recall the quantity or price. Amazon and e-bay have listings for under $5, marked "rayon". The manufacturer makes a 40' box of it.

Hi, Gerrymi, 10 feet at Sally's for a buck ninety-nine. I bought the lifetime supply, 500', for about $15. Be sure to get the "cellucoton" that says "rayon" in the fine print!

You might be very pleasantly surprised by an 8 or 9 wrap awg 30 coil. The ohms will be lower than what you may be accustomed to, but the vapor and flavor will be more than satisfactory. I did try a ten or eleven wrap 28 awg coil, and it was difficult to make it fit the body without shorting...

SS is a very low resistance wire, so you are correct: It will take many more wraps of the same gauge ss wire to reach your resistance target. I chase flavor, and don't mind lots of tasty vapor, so I am basically indifferent to ohms and wraps. Whatever combination of metallurgy, wire gauge...

Not sure what you mean by the question. What's right for each of us is what gives us the vapor and flavor we like. I prefer a lower ohms coil for tc or wattage vaping. You prefer higher resistance. Both are good if we enjoy them. I started with the stock 1.0 ohm kanthal CLR coil, and liked...

So far, I have used three wires, all with good results: 316L, 28awg 302/304 0.020" 302/304 0.015" This is my favorite so far. It is very nearly 26 awg. Easy to work, yet strong enough to withstand multiple re-wicking adventures without deforming. A not insignificant bonus is that...

Can't remember if this has been revealed yet, but just in case, there is a way to make these wonderful CLR coils even better, thanks to our good Professor Cheech. 1) The obvious: yank out the overstuffed cotton wick and replace it with rayon. 2) When recoiling, try stainless steel. 304 or...

Morning, loquacious campers. :D

Good moning, Campers. My idea of camping includes roughing it, black bear, treacherous precipices, thorny undergrowth, and venomous snakes and politicians. Haven't been camping in well over fifty years and have no intentions of upsetting my non-camping schedule for at least another decade or two.

Memorandum To: All CLR Lovers From: CLR Lover Re: Bottom Pins a.k.a., .... plugs, in Cheechospeak Subject: Variety is the Spice of Life It has come to our attention that some terribly misguided people prefer a tight draw. The pins that come with the CLR 1.0 kanthal, black o-rings have a...

Mid-coast. By the reversing falls in the Sheepscott River.

screen shot ... OHHHHH, The order from above didn't work. Sorry I too literal at first. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Forum software is flakey. A friend posted a you tube music video in a private conversation. I saw a vast expanse of white screen. I pressed "Reply" and the thing was visible in the quoted part of the the text box. Ten minutes later, the original uncloaked!

Morning, Nanny. Just leave the vapemail in the hole in the tree, please.

Good morning, Fran. Yesterday was miserable, nearly 100% rel. humidity, high 80s to low 90s. Today is delightfully cool. About 62° now. Good coiling weather.
