Hussar Project X RTA Clone (by Coppervape)

[AngeNZ]

Now this is where I get extremely confused. So using this wire in the links you posted it says 6 wraps is 0.325 ohms. I need to be way higher than that so does that mean its almost impossible for me to use fused captions in stainless steal? Im guessing Ni80 is my only option because 5-6 wraps would be best correct?

Im also confused about something else. I ordered Coilology ni80 28/40 mtl clapton wire also to test out. I thought this wire was gonna be thicker than the Coilology Ni80 MTL Fused Clapton Heating Wire 2*30/40 AWG. I thought the lower the number the thicker the wire is. Can someone please tell me why it's thinner?

I appreciate the response Ange. I'll definitely wait for showmetwice to chime in. In the meantime if you know the answers to any of these questions id love to know.

The 28/40 clapton wire is thinner because it's not a fused clapton wire like your 2*30/40. It's a clapton which is just a single wire (28ga) wrapped with 40ga wire. A fused clapton wire has 2 wires of 30ga wrapped with 40ga wire.

And yes you are better finding 28*2/40 in ni80 or kanthal

It says 28g mtl ss316l coils that are .90 ohms. How the hell were they able to make those .90 ohms? The 28g wire Ange listed earlier is freakin .35. This stuff is extremely confusing.

I'd say that is just a plain single wire ss316l 28ga coil

Ok I see what you're saying, Its not a fused clapton. I guess Nichrome is gonna be the best option for what I'm trying to do. Hopefully showmetwice or someone else could recommend some Nichrome wire I could try from lightning vapes or another high quality American company. Appreciate everything AngeNZ!

I use both rayon and cotton in my atty's. The Tidi rayon is very fine with excellent capillary action. I used to use Sally's/Graham's. I find the Tidi rayon to be an upgrade. I don't comb the Tidi rayon and a wick lasts me for a good month minimum in any atty. In my X with the extension tank I last wicked on 8 August. Flavor is still great and hardly any gunk buildup on the coil. In my other X I last wicked on 15 August and it's still humming along same as the other. Rayon will always require more wick versus cotton. With rayon I don't trim any of the wick in an X. I find more is better.

I've tried Klaus's minimum wicking method with both rayon and cotton. Doesn't work for me. On my first X build I did the same as Todd with cotton wicking and it vaped great for me.

For cotton I use Mavaton's select and Carolina blend (oils removed in both). Cottonman's cotton is super silky, very fine, and it's capillary action is excellent. His cottons are unlike any I've ever tried and I tried most. They last. I don't comb those and I can get up to 2 weeks off either. When I was using KGD cotton I rewicked every other day. I also found KGD to be harsh. I knew there had to be better than that and there is.

In the X's when I use cotton I've trimmed a little off the sides and they vape fine. I've also wicked with trimming none of the cotton and they vape fine. I've trimmed some off the top and sides of the wick and it vapes fine.

With cotton there should be resistance felt when you insert the wick. If it goes in too easy that is not enough in my experience. If you insert the wick and it's too hard to pull through, or it moves your coil much, then that is too much. There is a balance that needs to be found.

I don't vape retail juices. My juice is DIY and not on the heavy side with with flavors. Most of my recipes are under 10% total flavoring. Retail juices use more and also add sweeteners (I don't). Juices that are heavier in total flavorings and sweeteners will play a role in how long a wick lasts and gunk up a coil quickly.

Specifically with the Project X the total chamber/chimney area is the smallest in comparison to any other RTA I have. I'm sure that plays a role in the type/quality of hit one gets. It's slammed like a slammed RDA cap for example. I have one X running with the 4ml tank ext and the other is running with the 2ml tank. I don't perceive a difference between the two (same wattage/temp/DT/mod).

Hope that helps

Where did you buy the Cottonman cotton? I’m not seeing many sites that sell it but I’m definitely interested!

Anyone around tonight? I'd like to jump in on the conversation. I think I'd like more MTL/RL type RTAs in my arsenal. I'm finding that even though I enjoy my true MTLs I get weary of them and need to open up more. I have plenty DLs but they're not versatile. I like the AF and flavor of the Silverplay 24mm but it doesn't take long for the juice to fall below the wick hole feeds (I've hit one too many a dry hit by accident).

This leads me to this thread. I've been curious about the Coppervape Hussar X and the Evl Reaper v3. Just from what I mentioned above would you recommend these two? I was almost going to order a Fresia until I read some issues about it. I appreciate the help.

I just read page 10 but that doesn't give me the answers I was looking for. You were talking about wire that was at 1.50 ohms with 6 wraps. Im trying to be at .70-.80 ohms.

In my last post I also forgot to add another question.

Scroll down to the last coils on the list. It says 28g mtl ss316l coils that are .90 ohms. How the hell were they able to make those .90 ohms? The 28g wire Ange listed earlier is freakin .35. This stuff is extremely confusing.

Spooled Twisted Fused Clapton 316L SS (32gx3 / 40g)

^^^ that's the wire I'm running single coil for around .8 ohms.. it works for .7 ohms too..

it's SS so you can use it either TC or straight wattage modes..

Thanks Classy

Poke your head in sometime @Janusz and @Vape Muppet @Heartsdelight and @Letitia and anyone else who has or wants a project x

@NolaMel you need one or two of these too

I'm poking my head in though late to the party. I've been eyeing the Hussar for quite some time but now I think I'll pull the trigger.

How you like Hussar Project X? Properly wicked it is for me delight to vape... only EVL Reaper can match it for satisfying vape. I am happy to have extension for my Project X and Reaper V3... this combo gives me total of 9 ml so I can vape whole day without need to fill those 2 tanks from time to time I use Dvarw or Doggy but telling the truth I am always glad to return to Reaper and Hussar.

Can you recommend a good Reaper 3 clone?

 

[Janusz]

Do not forget to order extension... it is wonderful RTA

 

[Janusz]

Can you recommend a good Reaper 3 clone?

Mine is YFTK. It is very good RTA if you like very loose MTL or RDL but Hussar is overall better... from semi tight MTL to restricted DL it is also exceptionaly easy for perfectly instaling coil and wicking...there is no single RTA easier in those regards... flavor on both is excellent

Thank you, Janusz. I'll start with the Hussar w/ext. As for Reaper, I've had good luck with YFTKs.

Just ordered my Hussar w/ext kit. Ended up using 3FVape. I've had good luck ordering from their local (Germany/Italy/Hong Kong) warehouses.

I have 2 Hussar's in cart at FT, just waiting on $$. I'll probably have a bit of learning curve with wicking but I have plenty of cotton. It looks like a good tank to have and I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully between these 2 and my 3 KF 5's I'll be good for years to come.

9-23 Went ahead and pulled the trigger got the 2 Hussar's and another Pico IStick for another backup mod. It won't show up on cc until next month.

I will be using a NiCr 80 3mm id fused Clapton coil 28ga core and 38ga outer 6 turns @ about .54 ohms +/- so I understand wicking will be hit and miss till I get the length and thinning down pat.

Really appreciate the response. Im gonna try this wire out. You do 2.5mm coils? How many wraps are you doing to get .8 ohms?

I do 3mm id coils..

Your on a regulated mod right?

Okay so I could be specific with you I just used this wire to build a coil on the Kayfun Prime using 2.5mm id, and 6 wraps came out at .69 ohms..

Yup I got two regulated mods and I vape at 23 watts. 6 wraps .69 ohms sounds perfect. I ordered the wire last night, I'll let you know how it works out.

There's plenty if us here to help you with wicking if you need it. Some ppl nail it straight off. And it is also dependent on your coil, juice ratio and the way you hold your tongue
