First Parallel Coil Build

[Justadude]

I know it looks like crap and I'll get better with time but I just wanted to share with you guys my first parallel coil

it vapes nice and warm because of more surface. I've used 28g 4 wraps

I think it could use some symmetrical improvement. Each wrap of either strand should be identical to it's mate. If it works, tho, cool story, bro. Tell it again!

Looks aren't everything. I think it is great you did it yourself and it works. I think even my simple coils have improved with practice so keep doing what you are doing and enjoy.

how do parallel coils work in terms of ohms law?

dual coils half the resistance, do these also?



and what ohms is that coil OP?

 

[Justadude]

Yes. More surface area and lower ohms

Justadude, does it light up fast from the inside out ?

Yes it does dude. A lot faster. And the vape is warmer because of bigger coil surface. I've actually adjusted it so that it's even now and shortened the legs so now it's at exactly .44 ohms and won't budge, even after I wicked it it stayed at .44

Ayep, twisted also. e.g., if you''re doing a 1ohm coil using round/single, you'd need to double your wraps using twisted/parallel compared to achieve the same ohm.

I have yet to do the twisted ones, any other advantages besides looking cool?

Increased surface area and lower ohm in a given space.

Plus they look snazzy.

I'll try those next lol

I'm so ...... and upset right now - I went on the ezvapor website and it looks like they haven't even shipped it. .......s. I ordered it on the 10th. Do any of you guys know what's going on?

Nice work dude! Good to see you exploring and learning about it all.

Vape on my friend

Thanks dude

So you guys think a twisted coil will give me more surface than a parallel one?

Every build is going to be different depending on wicking and style of coil... but to answer your question, twisted in general doesn't give more surface area than parallel, it may actually reduce it -- but the design might produce more vapor due to it catching and holding eliquid in little nooks and crannies in some setups. And congrats on your first coil, savor that feeling.
