Anyone know if the titanium wire spools on eBay are good to use? Not sure when my next order at ESG will be (the site is down now) - and I wanted to try the titanium coils asap.. if it's a risk I will just wait for ESG to open cuz I need to get some spare o-rings and springs anyhow. An eBay shipment would probably arrive quicker, though. Just a thought, I saw a bunch of spools on eBay... wasn't sure what kind to look out for (They all say Grande One from what i see).

Ended up making it a 5/6 wrap and it's @ .8 ohms. Flavor is through the roof!!

I've been playing with twisted coils and last night did a 5 or 6 wrap 28g twisted around a 1/16" rod (I think it was about .6ohm.. I need to get my ohm reader out again and test it that way but the esterigon tilemahos hybrid base doesn't screw into the atomizer ports, so I used my multimeter and clamped it on the 2 tilemahos posts, not sure how accurate that was).. the vape was good but my juice was popping insanely loud and I could even feel it.. wasn't comfortable vaping it, but next time I will try more wraps. I'm trying to find a sweet spot for my etserigon/tilemahos... I keep reading how great these coils are but have yet to actually build a good one. Maybe later tonight I will try 8 or 9 wraps and see how that goes... I just don't want a long heat-up time, that's my main concern with these coils... seems like it will be a fine line! Any suggestions would be great! Thanks

hey guys a quick question. what are the main differences between twisted and parallel coils. what would be the pro's and cons of each? thanks guys.

and i pretty much only use 14500 size atomizers so i'm not working with too much space


Parallel is sort of like doing a dual coil in the space of a single (you'll have to account for ohms accordingly).
Twisted wire is a way to increase the surface area contacting the wick. Good way to increase flavor
