For anyone who enjoys re-building stock (non-re-buildable) coils, you might like this bit of my experimenting with different wires.
I love the art of building coils and with the sweet juice I like, it's a good thing. (They get gunked up pretty fast.)
My latest build,,,,
28ga. Ti1 - 5 wraps on 4.0mm jeweler's screw driver gave a .65ohm coil.
Got to love the Steam Engine Coil Calculator.....>>> Wire wizard | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators
Based on the calculator, the build should have read .45 ohm. Not exactly sure why I ended up at .65,,,, but I took it for a test...
Started off at higher watts and lower temperature but found this build's sweet spot at the following settings........>
Set at 35 watts and 550F I'm loving the cool, tasty and decent cloud. (No Competition Clouds)
Really liking the tank staying cool compared to any of my other coil builds.
This would be my first Vertical, TC build to date. My next build will be the same but with 26ga. Ti1. The Steam Engine Calculator shows that should turn out a 0.292 ohm build..
{2 parallel 26ga. Kanthal - 5 WRAPS - 4.0mm JEWLERS PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER 0.365 ohm}
{NICHROME 80 - 24ga. - 5 WRAPS - 5.75mm JEWLERS PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER 0.647 ohm}
{NICHROME (RIBBON WIRE / 0.2*1.0) 6 WRAPS AROUND 4.77mm MASONARY DRILL BIT
0.67 ohm}
{26ga. Nichrome / 6 wraps on 6.19mm bolt / 0.912ohm}
PS... I WAS CHAIN VAPING WHILE TYPING THIS POST,, THE TANK NEVER GOT HOT, JUST WARM.....
