Coil Storage

[Mordacai]

@Fidola13, I have to agree that depending upon what atomiser you use and personal preference do affect what coil build you use.

I'm running an Ammit 25 with a 6 wrap 27 AWG (0.34mm) SS316L coil at 0.65 ohms, as it doesn't really like a high mass coil it seems.

And a Tauren SOLO with a 6 wrap 25 AWG (0.68mm × 0.27mm) SS316L flat wire coil at 0.32 ohms, and it doesn't seem to mind it at all (it's got lots of airflow).

im glass addict, store most of my little and loved things on glass... also i collect burnt or worn coils too, loool,
i do use something like this:

also some coils come in jars like that, for example:

Good timing I’ve been wanting to ask someone with the Tauren Solo what the airflow was like. I watched a couple of reviews but still didn’t get a sense of it. Is it a restricted DL? When I saw the tiny air holes I was worried. I like A LOT of air most of the time. DJLs couldn’t say enough about this atty in his review.

The SOLO isn't bad in my opinion, also there's a lot of airflow adjustment with it. Wide open is very airy though.

I think that fasttech has the Stainless Steel one at around 18 USD with the MAP code, so it may be worth picking one up if you're interested @Fidola13.

Oh wow I thought it was a lot more expensive. Very cool thanks!

 

[Mordacai]

@Fidola13, no worries about that. Always willing to let good folks know of a good bargain.

Without using the MAP code at checkout on fasttech, the SOLO is over 30 USD. So a decent saving.

Be warned though, you need a 1.5mm hex key or driver for the grub screws.

And the packaging is nice, Aluminium storage container that doubles as a stand.

I use different coil types all the time but I don't think everyone does. I like to fool around but I wills say some RTAs, I've just gotten to the point where I know what it seems to like so I usually just do that.

I think it's really personal preference.

I’m still in the experimenting phase I guess. I’ve been using ss430 a bit and just bought some ribbon wire as well as some thin clapton wire. I’ve always complained Clapton’s have too long ramp up which annoyed me. This thinner wire is a lot faster thankfully. And I recently just did parallel coils- which was really good.

My go- to will always be ss316l spaced single wire at around 0.5 ohms. Always a wonderful vape for me!!

Do you have any suggestions from what you’ve been trying out?

Very nice thanks for the link. It’s a nice looking RDA for sure. It’s now in my cart!!

Thanks for the heads up! It doesn’t come with a hex key? Will a regular hex key like a lot of atties come with work?

 

[Mordacai]

It does come supplied with a hex key @Fidola13, but it's made out of the cheapest Chinese tat that you can find. So it ends up stripping the hex grub screws a little, which then prevents you from tightening them properly.

So, as long as you have a decent 1.5mm one at one side. Your good.

 

[Mordacai]

And I keep on forgetting to mention that all the coils I'm playing around with are spaced.

Just waiting on some 0.38mm and 0.40 SS316L round wire, as I'm very close to what I like.

But you can still have fun with 30 odd AWG, a drill, a boring afternoon and an excess of wire. Made a rather interesting 6 wire coil that way.

Ok thanks for the heads up. I have at least 2 decent ones I can use instead.

 

[Mordacai]

Your welcome.

I think all my buids would be too high for you, my lowest coil is a 0.77 at the moment.… I will say I like MTL Clapton coils on occasion but I still vape them super low wattage . I do not make those, btw

I wind 2.0mm and 2.5mm coils depending on the atty. Almost all are 28ga SS316 at .5 to .8 ohms. I almost never wind in advance of need unless I'm playing around with a new atty to see what produces the best flavor, although I often recoil several attys at a time and rotate them in use.

I'm almost at the end of a 100' roll of 28ga SS316L after making coils for 2 to 3 years on that roll.

gotta start using an old kanthal twisted clapton spool i have around, ni80 is almost gone and i need to put khantal on clouds factory mode for a friend, realized that i stopped using single wire and all i have been purchasing are premade claptons and so, too lazy right....
