Can I make a coil out of old guitar strings?

[yuseffuhler]

Even though the resistance is so low? Does it rise significantly when heated like nickel or titanium? You don't need tc for ti either, but its not very consistant without it.

G plat is stainless steel welding wire. Insanely marked up, but that's what it is. It's about 1.6 ohms per foot, which is roughly a third of what kanthal is per foot (26 gauge).

Ooooh I think Im gonna try this.. With how low I tune my low E string is a .056.. I got an instant 15g clapton coil!! Hope that fits in my Derringer..

the resistance is much lower than kanthal but significantly higher than nickel. "gplat" wire is SS wire. You can build decent sized coils while still maintaining a low resistance. Worked really good for mechs to have all the surface area

That's an awesome analogy by the way did I mention it probably wont entice the tootle puffers.

Analogy..

I think you mean parody or possibly a Poe.

Not entice tootle puffers, I don't see why not. Just because someone vapes in a leisurely manor doesn't mean they don't like to blow clouds in the privacy of their own home. I say tastey vapes cross all imignary boundries.

Just pull the wire out of the toaster. It's nichrome.

Dude!!! you should totally try out the new double helix hammered stapled zigzag sleeper hurricane Buddha belly coil!!! Ya get like 4 times the flavor while only using 6mL per puff.

Only downside is I had to get a jewelers license to make one.

It is done with 42 ga wire so it will fit into an Evod.

And in a pinch, you could use some of that 42ga to slice cheese.

Cut the cheese?

42ga ? No problem at 200 watts !!

With a proper left handed double budda clapton it is not an issue.

i call it "metallic origami."

Crocheting coils is next.

I actually invented a brand new type of coil today. I'm not kidding, y'all are going to like it a lot.

I'm working on the video now.
