26 gauge kanthal twisted

[shannon walker]

Just built my first 26 gauge twisted kanthal coil

2 strands 5 wraps came out to .5ohm
Using it in a stm rba kinda hard to fit it but it looks really awesome once I finished it

I noticed that the ramp up time is much faster than a 26 gauge parallel coil with same resistance and a much warmer thicker vape and can handle up to 40 watts

I used to run the same build in my YEP RDA and really enjoyed it. Twisted coils have always been one of my favorite.

Yeah and the twisted wire is much easier to work with it may be my new favorite build in the stm

Is your id 3mm? I use twisted 28 and comes to .7 ohms but am interested in trying this.

I use to use twisted 28g in my stm. I love twisted wire.

I'm not sure of the Id I just used a screwdriver a little bigger in diameter than the one that came with the stm

It's a fairly large coil takes up most of the space in the rba almost touching both posts it's 5 wraps and comes out to. .54ohm

Same here. I even use twisted 32 in my mini protanks heh.

The wife uses twisted 30g in her stm. It's prob the easiest coil u can make to improve flavor

Try twisting three strands of 32 gauge. Heats much faster than 26 and has much more coil/wick contact.

Now try some ribbon. 27g is almost 1 mm wide.......... talk about surface area.................

I'm interested in this. The other day I tried a dual coil, 2.5mm ID, 30g, 7wrap, parallel coil (not twisted) setup in my Goblin Mini.

It worked fine, but needed most of my DNA40's power, and I found it too warm a vape ( I do like a cool vape).

So I went back to my normal build, dual coil, 2.5mm ID, 28g, 6/7 wraps, 0.60 ohms. (single strand coils).

I find the single stranded dual's are a much cooler vape, produce at lower watts (27-30w is m sweat spot for this build), but are flexibile, in that if I want more vapour I can crank it up to 35w or more a still get only a warm (not hot vape).

Now I'm looking for a setup for my recently purchased Lemo 2, and as it's a single coil tank, was thinking maybe a parallel or twisted would work?

Anyone been doing single coil twisted builds that produce lots of cool to warm vapour at less than 40w?

I currently have 32g, 30g and my usual 28g kanthal.

Patience not being one of my virtues I went ahead and built my first twisted coil:

28g Twisted, 3mm ID, 5wraps, 0.65ohms

Vapes well at 30w and fairly cool, as I like it.

It's no cloud machine on my Lemo 2, but kicks out a satisfying vapour

Juice HOGS!

Wondering if anyone has tried a triple twisted 26 gauge in a stm rba

If so was how well does it fit under the screws

How many wraps and what resistance

My friend did a twisted kanthal 26g on his stm rba deck but the ohm is keep changing from time to time for eg: 0.4ohm - 0.8ohm. Why does it happen?? And sometimes the mod show "check atomizer"

I would say tighten everything up and see if that helps

he did, but it just weird. Checked everything, did all we can but the ohm just keep jumping around. Sigh. Returned to normal 26g kanthal and it work perfectly..

I also use the stm maybe the coil was touching one of the posts what mod were you using it on

Yup, using stm with smok bt50 mod. Just confused over with the twisted kanthal build.

You have to be careful about the overhang on the subtank rba. When you're clipping the wire if any of it can touch the chimney wall you can get a short and wonky readings.
