DNA 40, NR, Nickel Builds

Thanks y'all. I'll go with tempered then.

Caveat - The tempered is stiff enough that if you are not careful using it, from personal experience, you can draw blood if you poke your self with the end of that stuff.

Also resist any urge to anneal it. When you take it off the spool it will seem too springy to use but it has a strange behavior in the sense that if you wind it tight on a mandrel it will stay tight.

Other than that IMHO it makes life a whole lot easier.

True to all the above. I won't use anything but tempered anymore. I even rewick it without dry burning (if it's gunky I toss it) and it still holds it shape. Keeping TP at 450 or below keeps the coil in really good shape. And depending on the juice I'm using, I can keep a coil a couple of weeks before tossing.

I've ordered from Stealth vape twice and with shipping to the States, I didn't find it super pricey. I just ordered a bunch to make it worth my while.

AH maybe "pricey as hell" isn't the right word haha.

But hey it's 12 bucks delivered for 25m = 82 ft for the tempered

It's $7.67 delivered for 100ft for the annealed.

5 WHOLE BUCKS! That's half a burrito bowl with extra meat! [emoji14]

If your sanity isn't worth 5 extra bucks, I don't know...

After I placed my order with them paying through the nose for shipping I read that they ship rebuilding supplies a cheaper way with no tracking. My way the shipping was 4 pounds more then the wire.

 

[tchavei]

Tracking isn't really worth it for those things.

Since my adventure with local customs and a FT order, I don't horde stuff for a single order... I order when I remember something I want and go for the free non tracked option. It's more painful to get 20 packets instead of one but at least I'm sure customs can't touch them nor tax me. It depends on every country but I'm limited to 36€ per package or bad things can happen.

I hope so. I pre ordered one for $30.97. It will be my first lemo. I have been mostly using Kayfuns.

I think I preordered from the same place, you can't beat 30 bucks shipped.

I ordered it cheaper without tracking. The 8-9 pounds for regular shipping is really steep for some wire.

I think I paid ten usd for one spool, I think it was 25m prolly. Wish j woulda gotten 30ga rather tan 28ga. If anyone in is wants to trade lmk I've used a foot maybe. Very much worth the money imo. .

 

[Tbev]

Anyone use any other boards besides dna's with tc? I'm wondering if it's as good ..

 

[Steamer861]

I haven't But I saw this video it don't look good for the competition

So... 28 gauge wrapped around 2 2mm bits side by side

Dropped the damn atty halfway and had to rebuild it. This one has a different number of wraps

Not much difference in vape tbh hahahahaha

I feel like this would wick really well due a lower and easier path for the juice to flow through the cotton idk. I have actually tried this awhile ago when i was bored once, not with nickel but kanthal. I removed the two bits and the coil warped like crazy it looked kinda like a star pattern. Did you leave the bits in until after you mounted the coil?

Yeap! Left bit in the coil, mounted it and tightened the leads real snug, used the bits to lift the coil, and then remove the bits. That's how I install all my coils

have any of you guys tried using something like the kuro/coil master for ni200? i've only been having luck with spaced coils as is the general consensus, but I wonder if such a tool could make contact coils feasible.

In a word no.

I haven't done it but a thought would be to put two wires in the Kuro and work it as a parallel coil than remove one wire? I personal have been building contact coils for TP and haven't had any issues. It's a contact coil and yes they may not last as long as non-contact but do work. I have personally ran over 100ml of fruity sweet 50/50 liquid through a triple twisted 32 gauge Ni200 contact coil before I even thought about changing out the wick.

 

[TheKiwi]

Contact coils are kinda a catch 22 for some people.

I don't think it's actually possible to build a contact coil, and not pulse fire it to work out the shorts. Unless there is someone out there with godly building skills. But then some folks are also vehemently against dry firing nickel200.

But more importantly, I stick to spaced coil purely out of consistency. I can wrap 20 coils, and I know I'll easily get 19 perfectly functioning coil that will last for tanks after tanks without having to worry about it. With contact coils, once in a while I get a working build, and even that can randomly fail out of nowhere.

To make a point on what you've said Kiwi wasn't burning machine oil off the coil wire customary not too long ago?

I have this mod. It's nowhere close to a DNA 40. Temperature control doesn't really work. I like my istick 50 watt more than this one. It doesn't do temperature control either, but it doesn't claim to and it does wattage pretty accurately.

In thinking about building a sx350J mod (w tc) but I dunno much about them and I don't think anyone does really .

I've done spaced coils that way on the Coil Master so I would expect it would work on the Kuro as well. I also use the Coil Master to wrap normal touching coils and gently pull them apart as well as wrapping spaced coils by hand and just eyeballing the spacing. All methods work well but wrapping by hand is the fastest for me but I use a lighted magnifying mirror on a stand which makes seeing the coil spacing as I wrap very easy.

Stick with what is working for you but most people haven't had consistent, long-term success with contact coils and temperature protection.
