28g twisted, dual coils 6/7 wraps 0.4ohms

[mschnabel]

Hey everyone!
I just wanted to get some criticism/advice on this build. It is my first time ever straying from a simple 28g build.
It is 28g kanthal twisted, with dual coils of 6/7wraps on a 3mm screwdriver (I believe it is 3mm it was pretty large) came out to 0.4ohms.
So how does it look, does it seem to be how it should. Am I putting too much cotton in here? The coils take a while to heat up (2-3 seconds maybe) but the flavor is amazing. Thank you for the advice ECFers and as always vape on!!

I assume but both are glowing evenly and firing at the same time...I remember twisted coils do take longer to heat up....
Cotton looks normal to me, as long you're over-saturating where it's bubbling and firing up into your mouth or out of the air holes you're fine

Coils look good and if its working for you it should be fine. I dont sub ohm but ive noticed dual coils do take a little time to heat.

Yeah they both glow evenly from the inside out and fire together. Just wanted to make sure... a micro coil is so much easier to mess with but not nearly as fun to build so I wanted to take the next step

seems like you did it right, i perfer 24awg personally, dual coil , 5 wrap

XeoNox - do you twist the coil? Or just do a 5 wrap of the 24g individually? Also what size screwdriver/drill bit do you wrap on? I just got 50' of 24g and want to play with it, just haven't really had much time to test any builds. Thanks for the comment

Regardless of how you do your build, they still only perform one task. So how complicated do you want it to be?

Once you put the top on that RDA nobody can see how pretty you made your coil!

I used a the large screwdriver from the 6 piece jeweler set.
I did 4 wraps of 28g twist dual. Mine came out to .32 ohms. Amazing. Looks like mine with less wraps on my mod.

They may only perform one task, but they perform completely differently depending on so many factors. They say ignorance is bliss, so enjoy...

It's not about pretty coils, it's about the science of vaping.

Heat converts the liquid to a vapor. If you want to produce more vapor you can either create more heat or build a coil with more surface area. Since the amount of heat you can produce is limited by your battery and the resistance of the wire the easiest way to increase vapor production is to increase the amount of surface area of the coil.

The more surface area the more liquid that can be heated at once. A twisted wire coil has several times the surface area of a single wire coil, so it can produce a lot more vapor at the same resistance.


It's the exact same concept as using dual coils instead of a single coil. Two 2ohm coils running in parallel have four times the surface area of a single 1ohm coil.

I wish there was a GIANT like button or something to give yousuper props on that explanation Completely Average, thats why I was hoping someone more veteran to building would be able to assess if the width/length or coil, shape and position as well, combined with wicking/air flow looked alright. But evidently new people just don't get love from the vets
