God, I hate this . . . . .

It's Sunday, and all my RBAs are setup just fine. I have no excuse, nor even the slightest justification, for tearing something out and rebuilding. But I want to wrap a coil! Any ideas? Something to try, something someone's been curious about. "What if you . . . . ?" I've got AGA and IGO and Phoenix clone.

if you have one with more then one wick hole you can try dual wicks, or twisted coils, or play with different wick designs,
with something like the igo or phoenix you can try super fat wicks or mesh wrapped silica. or just a mesh dripper wick.

 

[pdib]

hmmmmmmm, haven't done twisted coils yet. . . . . . . .thanks for those suggestions, Thrasher

I got inspired from this thread. Might be too elementary for you I don't know but I only say that because I'm a newbie who wants the smallest RBAs and coils as my destination is all and I have no clue what's advanced because it's all new to me. But this looked simple to me and what I was looking for. One five posts that got me directed

lol i hate these kinda days too, wishing i had more rba's to build or someone else's. what is one to do when everything is working fine? so i find myself doing a u-wick with 325 mesh single coil on the aga t+ working great the downside....i just made the juice ..... even looser. lol i think i'll put another wind on the coil and chain vape til i get nic sick since it's still early in the day.

Yeah do a twisted coil!! I'm gonna try that sometime, but I only have 2 RBAs right now & they're both kickin like a mule ATM. Besides, I only have 30awg wire & I'm not sure HOW it would work?

twisted wire is same as dual coil run in parallel on a single wick. Two lanes of traffic = 1/2 the resistance.

I'm thinking about that super small diameter coil with a lot of wraps. I tend to wrap only 3/4 anymore; IDK if its the 26g, but 4/5 is noticeably slower. But mini wraps .. . . . . . . hmmmmmmmm

 

[FogHawg]

Yeah, I'll prolly wait till I get some smaller wire. I'd prolly need like a 9/10 wrap of this stuff before my ProV would fire it. And I'm just a noob & definitely need plenty of 'wiggle room' to relieve hotspots.

ok kids, here's what I got. 10/11 wrap of 26 Nichrome (=25 Kanthal) @ 0.6Ω. ss mesh on the bias. coil was wrapped around 1/16" drill bit. It was a bit slow at first, but it seems to be kicking normal with a little exercise.

HEY! . . . . THANKS! . . . . . happy Sunday now!

 

[FogHawg]

puuuurty! howz it VAPE tho??

 

[pdib]

Its vaping very small; billowing clouds of vapor, but tiny, munchkin sized . . . . . . and my smoke rings are all lower case. . . . . . o o o o o o

 

[FogHawg]

Hmmm. It looks like it'd be a freakin fog machine...?

 

[pdib]

OK, seriously tho . . . . . it almost hurts! BIG TIME VAPOR, MAJOR THROAT HIT. . . . . . .What's that? . . . . . flavor? I can't tell. Let me get used to the punch and see if there's anything behind it. Hey, thecatanddog, can I borrow your 2+mm dual air hole IGO cap?

So I've had a little time to get to know this build. This is easily the hardest hitting atomizer I've ever set up, and I've been doing some pretty heavy duty builds. It is dynamic, though: if I stay with a 3 second button press, I get a very full but "normal" vape (for a .6Ω build), but at 4 and 5 seconds, it starts to get pretty intense, and anything over that is thermo-nuclear. Who's crazy suggestion was this? Oh, yeah, Faylool. I don't know whether to say thanks, or give you a dope slap.

I haven't gotten this dizzy in months. Anyway, that was fun! I think I'll try to keep this little setup for a while.

 

[Thrasher]

see? now wasnt that a fun sunday after all?

 

[pdib]

yep . . . . . . . . .

 

[mrmarc]

Good thing my Mondays are no different than my Sundays. Now I just gotta figure out which of my RBA's to try this on since they're all set up quite nicely...:slaps hand: NO...not making another trip to the e-cig store.

 

[Faylool]

Well you clearly can wrap wick! You might try it with the 32 and 36 but really I don't know. HILDICAT got it going well

No it's not, you still only have one coil.
