So I keep building coils, trying to find my sweet spot. Of course its still fun to post them here and find out if everyone is trying something similar. So here goes another one. This is 4 strands of 28ga kanthal to make a chain coil. Total resistance is .22 ohms in dual coil.

I guess this coil I made would be called a quad sleeper coil---made with a single continuous length of kanthal 28 guage---I had heard of people making multiple coils

from a single continuous piece of wire and became interested and thought I would try it too.

Must try again and be more accurate on the length of the legs and shape of the coils

But it is a lot of fun no less to see what you can come up with--

This wire twisting is interesting with all the different shapes available --even if the coils that you make from it don't exactly measure up to your expectations--it is still fun to twist wire kind of

like a offspring hobby originating from the vaping thing----------------Keep On Vaping---thetrucker
