God, I hate this . . . . .

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

Absolutely correct, WillyB. I assumed that FogHawg was mostly curious about resistance.

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

Yep, Hildicat's tutorial and super_x_drifter's idea, and your suggestion for something to try. All guilty.

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.

FYI: did I mention I have dual air holes? 2x 1/32". View attachment 191895

Also (after) I tried silica. No, no, it couldn't take the heat with such a narrow interior diameter (IMHO). Then I re-wicked with a smaller piece of bias cut 500 ss (~ 20-25mm wide). I torched it thoroughly once rolled and it slid in quite easily (size-wise). here's the re-wicked

Further revisions. Isolated my tight wraps into two groups for my dual air holes. Upped a gauge to 26 Kanthal and dropped a loop, netting 0.8Ω A slightly friendlier version. A bit faster on initial kick, and another second or two before going thermal.

Beautiful coils... Once again!

So I made reference to this thread, and found that I had dumped the pics at some point. Anyway, I'll throw some here, (maybe same pics, maybe not; but its the best I can do, sorry about that )

^^ there's the iron giant lip synching Bon Scott to the tune of "high voltage".

I take it you have a 510 connection adapter in the wall socket?

 

[pdib]

Nope, just MNKEs

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.

pdib,try this on your phoenix if you haven't done so, with .28 kanthal @ .6 to .8 is awesom-o:
Ninja Vapes: The Phoenix, and the Genesis/Dripping Hybrid RBA Setup

I also did a dual wick/coil but found that it pretty much evaporate juice... while it was still on the bottle!

I was wondering, for some What If...? what if I twisted kanthal 28, 20 & 32 and wrapped me a coil with it?

 

[dhomes]

also, I have done the twisted trick with 28 & 30, but i do get more vapor with running two strands of the same kanthal in parallel, touching each other.
