My BB is expected to arrive next Tuesday, it seems that the 3 day shipping that I paid extra for was a waste of money.
I've been known to file slots in the posts to accommodate larger awg wire with that type of post.Damn! Those using those SXK Hellfire Exocet RTA, what size wire are you using? Last night and this morning I was trying to get 28GA to capture. But the wire just keeps popping out. I thought about wrapping the wire around the screw a number of times, but I hate to do that. PIA to pull the coil out using that method.
So I made a 5 wrap Clapton 26/32 coil. Oops, too long. 4 wrap. Nope, too wide at 3mmID as it touches the posts. So 4 wrap at 2.5mmID. Man that is about the max size I can go. A 26GA Clapton just barely holds under the screws. It looks like the Exocet is really made for 24GA wire to me. This Clapton is already at 0.04 ohms. Can you imagine what a 24GA nickel wire would ohm out too? Sorry about the blurry picture.

Ah... very interesting Steamer861. If you throw one of those Ni200 Claptons in, let me know of the differences. I'm very impressed how this thing vapes with this coil. Although at 0.04 ohms, the mod itself probably has the same resistance.I use a simple round wire build in mineI also wrap the wire around the screw, so it captures on both sides of the screw
It's such a small chamber I figure it didn't need a fancy wire. Im running 5 wrap 24 gauge Ti, in TC. Not sure the ID/OD but it just fits in-between the posts & ohms out @ .17ish.
I just pull the wick rite thru & trim it close to the out side of the chamber
I run this at 25 watts 450 degrees with No preheat!
Ah... makes sense to me.I ran an AVS SS316L 28/34 fused clapton in mine when I first got it, coil was way too big IMHO. So now it has a simple 24ga NiFe 6 wrap on 2.5mm 0.13Ω 40W/450F. Wrapped around the screw is the best way.
Very interesting.But the Exocet lives in it's SXK tube now, I wasn't all that impressed with it over the Insider or VapeShell.
Those EUC are Vaporesso Eco Universal Coil, right? And they fit into the A tank? If so, I need to do some research this weekend.The EUC coils are perfect for me at 33 1/3RPMWatts, need to search here and see how to clean/dry burn them. The coil in ceramic should just need some quick high wattage pulsing.
