I made a duel coil .15 ohm build this morning on my Igo-W. 24 gauge round kanthal.....and then I pulled them off my base and promptly threw it away. It was an accident; my first 24 gauge built. Even with my 30 amp batteries, I'm not that crazy! :laugh:

I'm sure some would cheer seeing the meter read .15. My reaction was all aboard the nope train. ChugachugachugachugaNOPENOPE!

It did give me a good idea of what sort of ohms I'd be looking at with certain lengths of the wire though, so there's that.

Well, nothing special, certainly not "crazy ...," but since you don't have anyone contributing pictures..:)

Nothing nuts to me atleast but this is a parallel 24ga 4/5 wrap dual coil. Crazily enough it vapes very cool and didn't have much happy wry heating issues. Mind you the 30 amp rating is for test on a time of ON time. I think it is 80 seconds on at 30 amps. But for 1-2 seconds it is like 160 something amps.

No pix, but I built a quad coil similar to the OPs, just minus the bottom coils. 26g approx 7 or 8 wraps per coil, think it was a .7ohm or so.

Very responsive to different drip tips more so than than more conventional builds anyways. A smaller bore (like a kayfun tip) concentrated flavor to insane levels, almost like I was just drinking my e liquid but vapor was moderate. Large bore chucked vapor with the best of em but dropped flavor big time.

Lame and tame but here's the most adventurous I've gotten so far...

I have a bunch of 32 gauge kanthal that I plan to try my hands at a twisted coil soon.

have a similar coil setup in my stillare now, used 30 gauge kanthal, 8 wraps each at about .45 ohms, not a fogger, but a very warm vape.
have troubles taking more thn 2-3 second drags
