.14 coil from 28 guage kanthal

[Martin Baker]

HI,

I was wondering if anybody can suggest a coil build that I can use to reach a resistance of .14 ohms with 28 guage wire. I don't have anything thicker.

I am running a mechanical mod with a sony 30 amp battery.

Approx 2 wraps for a dual coil or 4 for single according to the vape app i use. Google steam engine Martin great coil calculator. Btw .14 is very low be careful.

Hi Martin,
WHY have you chosen .14Ω? How are you measuring your resistance/builds?

Sony only claims 30A...
in use;
Sony VTC3 are 28A
Sony VTC4 are 23A
Sony VTC5 are 20A.

What level of nicotine are you using at .14Ω?
What RDA/RTA are you building? Single or dual , triple, quad?
What battery holder (Mod) are you using?

Watch your speed Mr. Jones.
Cheers
I

It would be a complete waste of your time. 28 ga is way to high of a gauge for a build that low. You need 20 or 22 ga kanthal to get that low properly. I use 8.5 wraps of 22 ga ss316L 3 mm ID. 0.14 ohms.

Because 0.14ohm @ 4.2V is 30A. He's looking to build to the absolute max CDR spec.

Even with 4 strands of 28 ga twisted is only 3.5 wraps.

OH... Okay...
So you are saying I'm old...


GET OFF MY LAWN

Is that one of those new Spaghetti Coils I have been hearing so much about?

I understand that the Only thing Harder than Making it is Wicking it. But once you get the Wicking down, the hit is Fantastico!

Hope he knows as a battery ages, the CDR drops.

A valid question would be why such a low resistance? 28 guage is intended for much resistances, but you could twist two strands together. Have a play with steam-engine and see what you come up with.

I've been running a quad-twisted 28 gauge dual coil build (5 wraps, 3 mm) on my CLT V3 Mini which meters out at 0.16 ohm, and it's been performing great at 80-100 watts.

Take 3 strands of it and braid them together like a weave. The combined wires will act like a single thicker wire.
When you run high power through wire's like this they act as one whole but the energy is divided between each strand allowing you to be able to run higher power through them without melting them as they might do a single stand.
It will defo get the resistance down to where you need it, what you could do is braid some wire up and then just test how much of it you would need to hit your target resistance, you wouldn't need to make a coil at this stage to test, all you need do is thread a length from your pos+ and neg- post's of your atty then snug the screws down and test on your ohm reader, when you have the length/ohms you need then take this section of wire and wrap on your mandrel of choice.
If you need two coils then just take the first resistance and half it and wrap a second coil with the same number of wraps on the same size mandrel as before
