Favorite coils?

[H3artl3ss696]

Favorite coils of mine are the Clapton Coil! Currently running two in my Hellboy rda at six wraps each. Center wire is a 26 with a 30 wrapped around. Kanthal wire for both wires. Reads a .2 on my sigeli 150 box and chucks the clouds!

I usually just do slick wire coils because I am so lazy and I get good results anyway. Neither do I build that low, stodgy old .5 is plenty for me. I guess that makes me a Tootle Whomper Welcome to the board.

Thanks! I've had lots of time and experience. Tried coils all the way down to .03 ohms all the way to 1.2 ohms. And thus far, my clapping around the range of .2 ohms to .4 are my favorite. What's a slick coil look like if you don't mind showing? That's a new one to me with the wide variety of coils out there.

Welcome to ECF, H3artl3ss696. I prefer standard compressed Kanthal and/or compressed or spaced ni200 coils. I mostly use flavor RTAs so single coils work for me.

Does everybody here make their own coils?

 

[Freedom2Vape]

Not everyone

 

[H3artl3ss696]

I do personally. I wouldn't have it any other way. To me it feels like cheating to me lol

I'm not that good yet.

You'll get there. Takes time to get good at it. [emoji2]

I have the Triton tank with the RTA kit. I like the flavor of the Triton. I prefer to build and use my own coils, but will generally carry a few of the prebuilt coils in case something goes wrong and I need a new one fast as it isn't always easy to build a new coil when you are out.

Favorite coils are twisted coils, I get good results, they're fairly easy, and they dont use as much wire as a clapton.

But I do want to attempt a clapton just to see what all the fuss is about, and to see if I'm missing anything.

 

[H3artl3ss696]

I'd recommend it but that my preference.

I like my tried and true Twisted Kanthal wire. Always dual coil, some horizontal some vertical. Just got into Temp Control so now I have a whole new mindset to get into but I still have most of my RDAs with twisted 26g dual coils normally .3Ω - .5Ω. Micro coils for my RDAs and standard coils for my RTAs.

 

[H3artl3ss696]

Do you recommend temp control? I've been looking into it but I'm thinking about waiting for Sigeli to release a temp control box.

@H3artl3ss696 I've only had my IPV3 Li for a few days, I'm still getting used to using it but the main selling point of never getting a dry hit is a good start. I'm using it in an RDA with single coil, I think I'm going to use it mainly in my Lemo's and Sub Tanks and keep my RDAs with dual coil Kanthal. It is worth checking out, plus you can still use these boxes as normal wattage vaping if TC isn't for you.

I dont make my own coils. I have tried many times, however I cant seem to make a coil that is as reliable as my tank. (I am aware that many people can, I am just not good at it).

 

[H3artl3ss696]

@isreah, it takes time and practice. Trust me. It took me about a year to get to get to the point where I can make some pretty crazy coils and mixing up ideas for them. @Romano Cheese, thanks for the links to the 150 box! I'll have to check it out now! Being able to run my claptons with no worry of a dry hit? Heck yes! Though I have no issue with dry hits on them right now thankfully...
