An RDA newbie's first coil

[Apple Grocer]

So I got an IGO-W to go along with my new Magneto, so here'e my first attempt at a coil.

1.8 Ohm. 8-9 wrap micro coil (wrapped in a 1/16th drill bit), 30g Kanthal with a 2mm silica wick. Tested/Ohmed on my MvP because safety is a thing... and again on a multimeter since I'm paranoid.





And I have to get a shot of my new mod in here too... kind of excited


At first it kind of sucked, low vapor and crappy taste. Drilled out the air holes with the 1/16th bit and it's much better now. A much cooler vape than I was expecting.

awesome job. coil looks great

Coil looks solid! I think you may have over done it with the wick in my opinion... But since I've been doing micros, nanos, and other rda builds I've converted to cotton as a wick for all my builds (I have so much ekowool and silica sitting around I'm likely never to use!)

With you're ohms reading over 1.5, youre definitely going to get a cooler vape, depending on what your preference is, I like a build around 0.5-0.8 ohms. To make this easier for future builds, I've started writing in a notepad. I write down the; number of wraps, what I wrapped around, what kind of wire, the ohm reading and how I liked it. Makes it easier when you record everything.

I love my Magneto as well. Yours looks way better with the RDA topper though.

I have an IGO-W coming in my next vape mail. Hmm. so that's what it will look like on my mvp.

Good idea. I need to start doing that.

I'll cast another vote for using cotton balls for wicking. You can sculpt it as needed.

Really nice..I recommend using less wick though. . And using cotton..cheaper, better. I use sterile rolled cotton from cvs..I doubt I'll ever need to buy more..

Too funny, I was going to post something along the same line.. I get my Igo-W tomorow (hope).

Nice coil by the way!!!

If you build a second coil the same size your resistance will end up about .9 and it will get warmer...coil looks good, glad your keeping safety first

I cast another vote for cotton..I use dual nanos wrapped on a sewing needle.
32ga 12 wraps X2 @ .9ohms

 

[Tugg n chase]

+1 for cotton as well

 

[StarsAndBars]

Looks incredible for first build. Heck, for any build. 1.3 ohms will be about as low as that MVP will let you go. It has a 3 amp limit on the batt. As others have said cotton is worth a go.

I agree 1/16 airhole is a must for the Igo-L. Can't imagine using it without a power drill.

I tried doing some coils with a sewing needle today for the "super nano" build but when I vape it, it tastes like it's burning the cotton... Suggestions?
