Cyclone RDA Top Feed

[DantesInferno]

I was thinking today that my next wrap for dripping might be a single 3mm silica and a micro coil.

I have been double looping the wick but I think that's a bit to much wick for dripping only.

Anyone running a single 3mm silica wick?

If so, what are your thoughts?

I never had much luck using silica in micro coils. I've tried wrapping directly over the silica but it gets all uneven on me. Tried threading it through an already made coil. Thats a nightmare. Most recently tried using the smallest diameter silica sleeving and wrapped over that. Didnt go well either. So I stick to cotton for the micros. My normal set up is 1mm silica folded in 3 then 4 wraps of 32 awg to get me around 1.4 to 1.5 ohms.

3mm will be 1/8" mini coil on micro wraps. Should be able to wet the tip of the silica and feed it into the coil with little trouble.

If you want a true micro, do 1/16" and pull 3 strands of that silica through (will require you to miscle it a bit and feed it with wire). Nice vape, but far more hassle than cotton.

I will probably wrap one up tomorrow and see how it goes.

Nice. Look forward to seeing it

I find that ribbon reigns supreme on my RDA's. The micro to me is good, but not like .6 ribbon 6 wrap with two 3 mm silica wicks at 1.5 ohm

 

[Xobeloot]

I've never tried the ribbon. I can't justify the cost over normal wire when my micro's produce such an amazing vape.

Nice llloing setup though!

going to buy a Cyclone with AFC later, will use it on my EVIC,, should i buy 32 AWG or 28 AWG wire if i want 1.4ohms microcoil ?

 

[Xobeloot]

30g Kanthal would be perfect for 1.4

 

[killua086]

sadly 30g is out of stock on my local vape shop.. i guess ill just try it later with a 28g.. i hope it will blow clouds even on 1.4ohm higher build

 

[Xobeloot]

28 can be done. will just require a few more wraps than the 30

so i just got the afc cap in the mail and damn is that thing sweet bored out the max a teeny bit farther out didnt sit totally next to the coil unless is raised it up above the posts :/ but some fiddling made it a beast

 

[Xobeloot]

Dang man! I assume you take lung-hits? I have one setup that I use a single wide hole on a 20/21 wrap of 26g. Enough for a quick pull and tons of vapor.

Dual wides that have been widened??!! Now you have me SUPER curious. Let me see the coil setup that is fueling those Big Bad Wolf lungs!

lung hits for days man! 3 wraps of 28awg just a basic set up bout to get some 25awg and micro wrape 6wraps with a really small ID

 

[Xobeloot]

That makes a lot more sense now! You're an animal! Join us on the dark side... Micro-coils are where it's at!

Just got my Cyclone + AFC .. using it on my EVIC at 11watts (Max power), 1 loop 3mm silica wick, 7 wraps of 0.29mm kanthal got around 1.7 ohms .. need to improve my microcoiling.. kinda hard to make them stick together XD

 

[REOfanatic]

@xobe i already am a micro coiler. i was just really stoked to get play around so i threw this low ohm coil on just because i am impatient but i am currently making a dual micro coil on my nimbus. pics to come!!!

If you wrap it on a drill bit, then remove it from the bit and hit it with a torch or lighter until red, then pinch w/ your fingers or pliers to tighten, you should be good.

Since you are using a looped silica, once you make and mount the coil, fold your silica around a small piece of wire and tug it through the coil. Will give you a far cleaner coil.

I just bought a bottom feed cyclone, I really did not know the difference, so what is the difference, just where the air hole is? I still have not used it yet, just reading up at the moment. I picked it up at Indy vaper shop, today when I was there, I was going to get a different dripper then this one, but I am glad I got it, I was surprised at how small it is. If had ordered the other one, I would not have it yet.

Top feed is generally used for dripping and the bottom feed is generally used on REO style mods..
