Alexander Mundy's Magic Twisted Ribbon

What we need is an electrician.

I think we might need a magician.

(Get it......magic......magician)

I know, don' give up my day job

So I finally got some more time. Drilled out the posts on my cyclone to 1/16th and stuffed a 3/4 wrap in there of that last piece I showed you. I started with my AFC cap with one air hole most of the way open. I think I'm close because the vape was every bit as good as the dual coil Nichrome coil I just took off. Came out @ .5Ω. Very nice:

Stuck the regular cyclone cap on there with the air hole drilled out to 3/23nds and....... man...... the flavor is off the charts. Ohhhhyeaaahhh

I like it

man I have 50ft of .8 x .1 ribbon wire. I hope I can try and make some magic. I know Mr Mundy says it's not ideal but gotta work with what ya got.

Hey Mr. Mundy. How were your results with .6 x .1? I will be getting some .6 x .07 next paycheck but my regular .6 will be here in a few days and I was wondering if it was worth a twist.

Here is my latest production of Mundissimus Maximus (triple twist) magnified 60x


And this is Mundissimus Minor (double twist)


Realistically, it's only my third workable batch (after the first few failures that is). I make about 2ft at a time and it lasts a long time.

.6X.1 was pretty darn good, but not quite there.
Make sure and anneal it first so it will fold more evenly.
I would run around .9 ohms with it.
.6X.07 can be twisted without annealing.
I like .6 ohm to .8 ohm with it.

Course you should try variations since everyone is different in what they like.

Standard disclaimer: your mileage may vary.

Nice triple!
Haven't done double for a long time since the triple keeps the folded loops better, but if amps are limited and voltage can be boosted......

You need a mod with real low voltage drop for that.
It will be short on surface area comparatively.

Course, everyone is different and maybe you will love it.
Only one way to find out.......

Glad you like it.
Nice looking coil X!

 

[Alexander Mundy]

does anyone sell twisted, magic, or specialty pre wrapped wires?
if not, they could make some money.
also a pre made variey pack of coils would sell imo.

I have thought about it, but just wouldn't have the time.
If I ever do get the extra time I do have a vision in my head of a magic making machine that would make it feasible.
Probably would never pay for itself, but would be cool if it worked.

Can't you teach the wife or is she untrainable like mine and stubborn?

it'd be a nice little sideline!

.4x.1 seemed to work great for me =) Awesome wire/awesome coil (4/3 around 1/16 @.83ohm). Good stuff, thanks!

 

[bender817]

First attempt at Magic. .6 x .1 because its what I have on hand. Annealed after initial twist and fold, and after interlocking. Came out pretty good imo for a first try. Tossed it in the KFL I use at work. 5 wraps on the 1.5mm gizmo mandrel. .65 ohms. Gave new life to my juice. I'm a believer. Gonna twist up some samples for my buddies now. Lol.

That looks pretty good. And also you should try a vertical. That's how my KF 3.1 is set up and it's far better than any horizontal coil on any other device.

 

[Alexander Mundy]

Glad you like it bender and glad you are going to spread the joy.

 

[Alexander Mundy]

Great news buce! Glad to see some of you are trying different sizes of ribbon and reporting the results.

 

[Alexander Mundy]

Believe me T, you don't have a corner on the stubborn wife market.

How does MM vape at higher resistances, like 1.2 ohms or higher on a vv device? Does it take forever to heat up etc?

I think it vapes well. All of my MM coils are between 0.8 and 1.1 ohms, all on VV or VW devices. You'd be hard pressed to find an atty that can fit an MM coil any larger than that...
