28awg kanthol question

[Altaire Versailles]

Anybody know how to make a 1.5 ohm or higher coil using 28awg wire?

Where are you putting it? Atomizer, wick material, mod.

That's what she said

You simply add more wraps. There's really no magic involved!

on an octopus... ive made 3 already and theyre all sub ohm.

is there a max number? Im making one right now with a 6/7 wrap and i doubled the wick 4 times over so its 8 wicks thick, about to try this out

I'm running 9 wraps around an 1/8" drill bit in a micro coil (the wraps are tight together) with a cotton ball wick in an IGO S and getting around 1.1 to 1.3 ohm. For 1.5 ohm I'd go with 12 to 13 wraps.

I run a similar setup on an Igo-L except I build on a 1/16" drill bit with 11 wraps of 28 gauge Kanthal. 1.3-1.4 ohms every time. Oh, and a cotton wick as well (Is there really any other wick out there??).

i ran 7 wraps on a mesh wick in my octopus, came out to 1.4 ohms.

 

[nelsonm64]

12 wraps on doubled over 2mm silica got me 1.3-1.4 ohms

 

[Kemosabe]

approx 15 wraps around a 1/16 drill bit got me 1.7Ω, so IMO go for approx 13 wraps on a 1/16 drill bit.

How do you make a coil with 13 wraps? seems like you couldnt fit it in the cap even if the coils were touching, i dunno...I got one at about 1.9 with i think 6 wraps, maybe 7, havent used it yet though...important thing is I got something I can use with the Vamo now. Sucks trying to get this thing on and off the mod though, the cap doesnt fit on very tight with these octopuses...octopi? Whatever.

You wrap a micro coil. Wrap the coil around a 1/16" drill bit.

You wrap a micro coil. Wrap the coil around a 1/16" drill bit.

^ what he said ^

"micro coil" - wrapping a small coil (in diameter) with lots (10+) of wraps as close together (touching) as possible.

I'd go a little bigger ID than that. 5/64" or 3/32" (2 or 2.4 mm) would prevent a crazy wide coil at 1.5 ohms. It would still be more than 8 wraps at the bigger ID with the 28 gauge wire. With 30 gauge, 1/16" is generally perfect.
