I've been using 32awg Kanthal A on the Line with mixed results, but hey, i'm still learning
I just made a new coil from 34 awg Kanthal D. I twisted two strands of 34 awg, and made 4 wraps on the Line. That measured 2.4 ohms, perfect for the Lavatube and presumably for the Provari as well. So far it works fine and produces vapour even at 3 volts, not much taste though! I get great taste and vapour at 3.7volts. I haven't taken it above 4.2 volts yet, but so far it looks promising................................
I have used the twin 34awg on my Iatty with good results, and so far it works fine on the Line as well
Interesting, so in reality your using a 64guage Kanthal by doubling the 32guage Kanthal;,,, have you tried twisting 3-4 pieces together of a thin Kanthal and trying it ? just curious ?
Anyone else having an issue with the Line leaking around the internal plastic pieces? My wife showed me it leaks even standing up. Do we have a link to a complete breakdown of the line so I can pull it apart and add silicon to stop the leaking?
She has stopped using it, as it leaked all over the inside of her purse.
Thanks,

I guess my question is, how do I remove the threaded part? is it just an o-ring keeping it in place?

Del did say it had a heavy press on it so it might be a b to pull apart. But u have the machines, u can do it! Haha mine hasn't done that hopeful it doesn't cuz ill have at it with a lathe lol.
No o-ring , You will have to send it back to me. I give it to Van and he will fix it.
Sorry, but i don't do video
It's quite simple though. You just twist the two strands really tight so they work as one thread, then wrap as usual. I saw this mentioned in an Iatty-thread here on ECF, but now i can't find it!
Not quite. The two strands of 34awg will have a cross-section (and resistance) equal to 31awg. In retrospect, that should have given me a lower resistance than the measured 2.4 ohms......
Okay, i have just measured it again, after vaping about half a tank: 1.6 ohms
Darn, so it's just another LR coil. I guess i'm back to the usual problems of not wrapping it tight enough around the silver posts!

Interesting note about doubling and twisting the wire, it cuts the resistance in half. So if you use a single stand length that tests out at 3 ohm and double it with a second strand the same length the ohms will drop to 1.5 ohms, which is opposite of what I had expected.
I used this method myself on the Iatty.
Ok then give me a clue
I have a 4 ton press and can pull the bottom connector and turn a 8.5mm press pin and sleeve to press the threading out if it is pressed in. Would rather DIY than wait for shipping when I could do it in a couple hours.Is it threaded in, or pressed in?

So if having more wraps makes for an easier setup (?), that may be advantageous for those of many thumbs? Granted you use a 2.5 to 3 amp limited PV.
I read on 'Just stainless steel wick & coil' thread that Kanthal A-1 is the best Kanthal wire to use. I have the A-1 and am pleased with it. I still want to try out some NiChrome next order though and compare them......

Ok. I will let you know.
Been running the line with a 2/3 wraps of 0.2mm kanthal on the eg0-t / don.
Notice the coil gunks up fairly quickly. How do you clean the coil to extend lifespan ?
Also, are we suppose to file/sandpaper the silver terminals to get more grip ?
Appreciate the help. thanks.

RE: Coil-cleaning - I just straighten out the wire, wipe it tightly between my fingers using a plain paper towel. Cleans it right up. I can see the blackened gunk slide right off.
Just sharing what works for me. And my coils gunk up quick too - every other day or so. I vape about 80 percent VG now. Cut it with a little PG and some Tequila! Nice and thin mixx of juice.
wondering that too... but i would replace the coil as the Kanthal is so cheap (ebay; 32).
My question is, it seems the gunk gets carbonized around the bottom of one of my silver posts at the base. Is the silver very delicate? I mean can we scrape at it?, or is there a better way to clean the silver at the base? say with alcohol?
I've been replacing the kanthal but wonder if we recycled the wire as advised by Alzbeta, maybe it won't glow since it has been broken in. Alcohol with tip is good --I'll try it. thanks.
The reason I brought up the silver terminal thing is because stefano's posts seem rough whereas mine's smooth.
I want to report the Lines arrived and joined my GG's
The GGSlim is not mine, it is lent to me by a friend
They were a bit wet, i think Van checked them with water for leaks. I will make the first coil in the evening as i'm at work right now.

Most kool. Keep us posted on how they vape!!I want to report the Lines arrived and joined my GG's
