coil builds and tips ?

[shad0w13]

ok guys im looking for some new coil builds. im using a king and a nemmy and an igo w with 1.8 air holes with a vct4.

i have 30-24g kanthal and 28 and 26 nichrome.

i want a build that will blow clouds and give me great flavor.

also what is a parallel build ive seen people talking about them everywhere but never seen one or saw how to do one

I noticed that you listed your building materials.... but you left out the ohm meter... you do have one, correct??
Parallel builds ( dual coil) is when you use 2 coils of the same ohm values to increase the vapor output. You must build the coils ( both of them) to 2 X the ohms you want to have loaded in the atty... example: you want a 1.5 ohm setup using dual coils, each coil must be 3 ohms each....
here is the math:
1/ ((1/coil1 ohms) + (1/coil2 ohms))

take the time and learn OHMS Law... and understand the difference between parallel and series resistance

yea i have an ohm meter sorry forgot to put that

Parallel coils are not simply dual coils.

Parallel coils are a much more sophisticated version of twisted kanthal. Instead of twisting two strands together and then using the twisted wire to wrap a coil, you wrap with two pieces of kanthal side by side.

Here is a pic of one in order to help with explanation:



Note that this coil is not simply one piece of wire wrapped around, it is two pieces of wire side by side. You can see this where the wires enter the center post.

These set ups are far superior to twisted kanthal. They have much better wick to wire contact.

That said, my favored set up right now is a single strand quad coil. By this I mean that you wrap all of the coils from one single piece of wire. It is a rather difficult build and takes a lot of patience to do.

Here is a pic.



This is four wraps of 24 awg wire for each coil, wrapped on a 1/8th drill bit. The build comes out to 0.12 ohms, so beware and build at your own risk.

ive tried those single strand dual or quads i cant seem to get them down

What problem are you having with them?

The biggest tip I can give you is to start the second/third/fourth coil over the top of the drill bit. Over top, feed back between the posts, pull tight with pliers, repeat. This results in the final wrap coming out the bottom of the coil, making it very easy to feed into your posts.

Getting single strand builds down is a must if you plan to do dual coils with low gauge wire.

i get one of them built and feed it through and try to wrap the next and cant figure out how to wrap it

Here is an example of a simple build done with 24 awg

i might give that a try tomorrow thanks

any other recommended coil builds?
