Also, what color is the AR? Are the threads coated? Could be voltage drop if they are. Nichrome is my favorite to use. Less resistance per foot compared to kanthal and I feel like the flavor is better. Try this build when you get a chance: 22g nichrome 80, 7 or 8 wraps on a 2.4mm screwdriver. Pinch them together for a micro coil and I bet you'll get the vapor you want. It'll be around 0.14-0.15 so make sure you have a 30 amp battery.

At this stage of the game....please ignore any suggestions involving building a .1-anything coil.
Master the art of building stable, perfect coils using .28 ga wire. Learn ohms law, get an ohm meter, invest in good batteries and read everything you can find.
You don't need to build super low to get great performance. Thats a game for the kids who don't know any better.
After that, you can start experimenting with thicker wire .... But its more rewarding if you know what you're doing.

So you sit around and vape all day like your avatar pic? And that's the only thing that can keep you off snuff? Something that you didn't even inhale?

Try more nicotine and less VG lol



Not picking a fight, serious question.
What exactly is it about your cloud chasing rig you can't get any other way?


I have no problem foggin out a room and I'm 5x higher then your setup. Plus my Atty doesn't get blazing hot.

I cant tell you how long I read up on Ohms Law before I even got into building coils or how many countless hours of youtube videos I watched regarding how to build coils. Again, if that wasnt directed towards me then fine, but just because I like it does not mean I do not know what I am doing.
I don't really care what you do but its ridiculous to recommend a .1x coil to anyone just learning to build. How you vape is no business of mine.

Yep. I've been building for awhile and I still don't like going below .5. Just too risky, imo. Better have A LOT of confidence in your battery.
