Good lord, I did it. My first attempt at wrapping ever. 36 gauge dual coil build.

[MaliceMouse]

It is ugly as sin. I am bereft of words to describe the heinous appearance of this dual build. Old timers would stroke out, if they saw it. 36 gauge. 3/2 wrap 9.1 Ohms in each coil. Keep in mind I use the word "coil" simply because that is what they are called. This thing is a crime against humanity.

I don't even know why I did it, but my vaping partner in crime has been snotty about wrapping coils and I just got my first RDA, the beast of an atty Tobh 22650 to go with the E-Huge. The whole set up is ridiculous. I have tiny little monkey paws and can barely articulate the mod in the direction of my face for fear of smashing out my front teeth. Plastic drip tips it is. Metal, but only if I am totally stationary.

He handed me a set of allen wrenches and away I went. He told me, and I quote: "There is no way in hell you can wrap anything with 36 gauge."

He is retired elite forces and this is a point of pride for me; I'm taking him down. An hour later, and some hyperventilating into a bag produced two ugly coils in a really beautiful atty. Those ugly coils are all mine. I am off to gloat in his face.

You guys have been invaluable in helping me to get to the point where I would ever attempt to wrap my own coils. Guess I'm all growed up.

Good job! However, at the risk of being a wet blanket, are you sure it's 9.1 ohms? That's pretty high.. I don't think I've heard of anything above 3.0 ohms. If you're doing dual coils, that's 4.55 ohm.

EDIT: Just checked the coil calculator and figured you must have meant 1.9ohm at 36 gauge - perfectly fine!

Have you seen this yet? I don't go a day without it.

You go girl!

Get yourself a Coiling Gizmo (and hide it until you show your SO all your newly built coils).

It is reading at 4.8 Ohms with both coils in. Yes, it was SUPER high ohms on each coil.

I am getting a jig for myself. The Allen wrench set is nice enough, but they move all over the place. A tool kit is definitely in the works.

Thank you for the link. I've never seen it before. I'm getting my first mechanical at the end of the month and I know I will be using this site a lot. Thank you!

With that thin gauge it won't be to bad, but the hardest part about DIY coils is mounting/positionin.

With such a thin wire and so few wraps you barely get any coil surface area and that's bad.
So get lower gauge, i wouldn't even bother with 32, go 28 or 30 and more wraps.
Aim for a lower resistance, much lower.
