Best/Recommended Nickel Build for RBAs

[Raynecloud]

Hello hello ppl,

Any best/recommended Nickel Builds mainly single coil RBAs?


I currently only have Ni200 26ga and i tried different amount of wraps.

The most i can get is 0.12ohms.

coils better spaced out or compact together for flavor chasing?

Wana get the most out of the horny mango


Thanks!

Same here. 12 wraps, 3mm diameter coils for 0.15 ohm (compact) = heating up is very slow. Appreciate any advise!

Nickel is for space build, do not pulse your coil. For me when i do nickel i dry fire to see if the coil change colour. If it does that mean the coil is not good for vape, if it remain the same then i will proceed with my wicking. Please correct me if i am wrong.

Space build as in space between wrap. Different from kanthal build. And also use nickel with TC only.

Yeaah, im using in temp mode with a dna40.

Space build, hmmm.. Noted on that. Thanks!

And yes, never dry fire ur nickel coils. Once gets redhot it will oxidize at a certain temperature and form some kinda substance on the coil which will firstly affect your vape experience and secondly, it's very hazardous.

Best to use titanium coil instead of nickel, but it's too springy in my opinion.

26g, 10 space 3mm diameter coils: 0.16 ohms, did not dry burn, firing at 170 deg = woooo thanks guys!

Dont mind sharing a photo of how ur spaced coil looks like. Thanks

Alamak I've already assembled my Lemo 2. Unlike the subtank, it's near impossible to dismantle that tank without throwing/wasting my juice but it looks similar like this though

Ni takes a much longer time to heat up compared to kanthal at the same gauge size wire (eg. 28G at 0.2: NI 110 mJ/K vs Kanthal 6 mJ/K) - lower the number faster the coil heats up)

Aaaaaand....

It works! Spaced coil taste better and i do get much more vapor.

Thanks!

Woo!

Anyways, I tried paralleling my 26g kanthal and 26g ni200 (10 wraps I think, 0.15ohms), firing at 240 deg celsius (I read somewhere that anything above that temp, the cotton will start burning if it's not wet enuff and might cause the ni200 to oxidise which is not a good thing).
Flavour not too bad.
Too busy to do twisted coils though meh

Brandon (founder from Evolv) have shared that nickel is best built as spaced coil. I don't dry burn then either.

Twisted 30ga Ni200

28ga ni200

Usually 9-11 wraps around 2.78mm mandrel (7/64 inch)

They look legit!
How are they twisted? Any better then just a single strand?

I used a drill.

The only reason why I twisted it was cos 30ga ni200 by itself is stupidly soft and wobbly.

But now that I use 26 and 28ga, I think it's much better to just use straight untwisted wires.

I just got my 30ga Ni200 today.

And hell yes its sooo damn soft and makes it hard to work with.

But well, after sometime i manage to get it right.

10 wraps = 0.24ohms (Coils spaced out)

Perfect!
