First parallel. Need a little help

[Necrospecter]

I found the problem I think after you ender all of your info are you hitting calculate?

Hmm. I think I did. Almost sure. Especially going back to the calculator. But I was looking at the deck. I was having am issue evenly glowing spaced coils.

 

[AzPlumber]

Are you using two wires on each coil?

 

[Fiestylillady]

Should the insulator look like this?

 

[Fiestylillady]

Are you using two wires on each coil?

Yes.

 

[AzPlumber]

A dual coil is two coils each made with a single wire.

Two coils made with two wires each would be a quad (4) coil.

Now I'm really confused.

Hallelujah the answer appears. I'm brain dead today but I enjoyed all the questions answers and etc. It was great. Glad you hung in there Feistylady!

I think you were right on the money. I remember with that app when you change certain things it reverts the wire back to kanthal. I changed the first wire but not the second. So it have me a calculation for one wrote ss and one kanthal.

Now I'm really confused.

A parallel (dual) coil is two wires, you have two coils with two wires each, that's four wires.

 

[stols001]

If you are twisting the wires together, you're actually adding wire to what would have been a round build. .So, for your calculations you want to make sure that you are using either single wire and two coils, or if you want a twisted wire, you'd calculate it as a single coil, but twisted wire.

You can do what I think you are trying to do, 2 (exotic wire) builds, but you'll have to enter the wire into your calculator that way to get the correct wraps.

I think.

How do you use steam engine with like a clapton.t fused clapton wire.

 

[stols001]

I want to say you use wire wizard? And if TC, your center wire has to be TC capable, but I think that's the tab you want. Apologies if I am incorrect, someone will be along to correct me. Good luck! Hope it works out well.

For that you'll want to use the "Wire Wizard" tool. It lets you build a wire from the ground up. You tell it you want Clapton, it says okay, what's the core and what's the wrap. You can make either the core and/or wrap be multiple wires (you can define them individually) or even another clapton (it will open up another dialog box one layer "deeper" where you can define the core and wrap wires for THAT clapton that you're using as the wrap/core of the initial wire).

 

[Fiestylillady]

Thank you for the app. I think these apps/website give different options if you sign in from the phone/tablet vs a computer.

 

[Zakillah]

What exactly are you trying to accomplish here?

You have thick SS wire, there is no point to parallel wrap that, especially on a regulated mod. Just build a regular coil, 14 normal wraps instead of 7 parallel. It will perform exactly the same and you dont get this ridiculously low resistance.

EDIT: If you disagree, at least tell me why.
