Tutorials man, tutorials! You don't even have to make a video. Just take photos of the steps. I want those clouds so badly lol
Have you tried the Tin Man coil that Rip Trippers did? I'm going to start with that since it isn't sub-ohm and seems to chuck so much vapor. I ordered a Trident clone as well so there will be no need to fiddle with airholes. Plenty of airhole options with the Trident. Plus the one I ordered looks so dang cool. Gold plated on stainless... rockstar!
Links man, links!! Don't you have the link to the "Tin Man Coil"???!!!
lol. Any who, these nano Dragon coils are not sub ohm, they can be if so desired, I'm rock'n' on all builds I've tried any where from 1ohm to 2.3ohm. The Dragon build is basically a micro coil build with the cotton going around the coil or laying under the coil, depending on what rba you use. It's kind of in the ground floor stage. I've done both a vertical and horizontal build. All the basics are in this thread, enough to get you going. We are all just tying to help each other out. My Provari won't fire anything less than .8ohms so I try to aim for 1.1-1.3ohms. 2.9volts is as low as she goes. If you have specific questions about a particular rba, let us know and if anyone has done a build on that rba, they will help out. but the basics are as follows:
!) Wrap your wire of choice tightly around something really small and round for 10-15 wraps to get the desired ohm rating you are aiming for. I've used a 1/16" drill bit and a paper clip, some use a pin, nail or 3/64" bit.
2) Mount your coil at a height and distance so that a cotton bed or wrap can be placed under and or around it, depending on your rba. Mount coil at the height of the air intake or slightly above it if you have an rba that's air comes in from the bottom. again, depends on your rba.
3) check the ohm's of your build, if your mod doesn't have an ohm meter, check the ohm's with a meter before mounting. Set your volts or watts for you build. Fire her up, All glowing nice and red hot? Great, next step.
4) place cotton below or around the coil making sure not to cover the end holes of the coil and have the tails go to your source of liquid so that it can wick, again, this depends on you specific rba. Don't use to much cotton, leave it fluffy, don't compact.
5) Saturate you cotton with juice of choice. Fire it up. See vape? Good, assemble and fill and enjoy!! Don't see vape?? Bummer dude, something is wrong. Play with it till it works. Once it works, play with it till it works better. Try more or less cotton, try slightly tilting your coil. Frustrated, ask here and let someone know.
So you see, it's basically the same steps you'd go through with any build you'd do. Each little thing you do can change the dynamics of your vape. Good luck, and vape on!!
Great to see you guys getting the hang of it. Improvise as there is always room for improvement.
Anyway, here's a preview of my new build in beta form for genny style atomizers. This also utilizes the dragon coil
Iteo,
Thanks again for this idea. Just finished the dragon on my I-Atty genesis. Didn't have any cable so I used some 400 SS mesh, with the cotton down the center, and the tail of the cotton wrapped around the Dragon. I didn't oxidize the SS, trimmed the SS so that it was just lower than the coil, with the cotton coming out of the center. Still needs some fine tuning, but on my first try it's vaping better than I could get the straight genesis build to vape. Almost as good as my Volcanic Dragon build on the Russian. Still want to try a smaller diameter coil on the next volcanic dragon build, but it is hitting so good now, don't want to mess with it till I have to. lol..Getting low on wire, and don't want to buy any till I figure out wich gage I'm ultimately going to go with.
Thanks so much. This really rocks on the Kayfun style rba. Really like the ease it is to replace wick and dry burn, when the dragon needs tending. Heck, it takes longer to tear the Russian down than it does to replace the wick. lol.
Cyrus,
Thanks muchly for giving the clues on how to apply this to the Russian. Would of taken me much longer to think of the vertical mounting with out you insight. I was thinking of 2 side coils, one above each juice deck. Your method is much simpler, and easier to build and re-wick. I may yet try the dual coil idea, but may be to crowded, doable I think with two 5-6 wrapped nano's. Will have to think on that some more, Thinking the bottom of the coils would have to be level with the center air intake, At least it would be easy to adjust the height up and down a millimeter by slight bend of the wires, and you'd have a tad bit of play on the length of the leads when using the mounting holes.... Damit, Now I'm goint to have to try it. Oh well, will have to sleep on it.
