I cannot build anything

[Keeferes]

Congrats! It's a process for sure. This is my build this morning on a KFL +.

View attachment 363529 you can tell I really know how to take pictures on cell

 

[Keeferes]

I've seen much much worse.

kayfun lite plus v2 dual airflow I'm not even going to attempt a build on it mine is still in box,is that what your pictures are of keeferes?

 

[Keeferes]

Yep. Just single airflow control, but the build decks are all the same.

ok thanks looks sharp

I put the Patriot up for now could not figure it out,I started on the magma before the Sun even came up I made at least 5 different builds they were all reading around 3.5 ohms on my meter,but i tried 3 different mods and they would not even fire my Mvp read "non" ! was building single coils aiming at 2.5 ohms.I got my biggest tube mod out "18650" and bingo we had energy flowing,I definitely was not going to put it on my cloupor 30 or the ipv v2 50 I sure did not want to break those two new devices.I'm thinking either one of them would have fired it up and I might put it on one of them after while but I am a happy camper I finally made my very first working build.

Use a few less wraps or a smaller diameter inside your wraps. It won't hurt your cloupor to put it on. It is nice watching your progress.

Nice looking coil Keeferes!

Thanks Greyfox.

It is nice watching your progress.I used I think the program I got that helps you on your builds,and I was shooting for 2.5 ohms it said to use ten raps with 30 gauge wire,I used a 3mm to wrap coils a round it was a single build but my ohms were way off,the build turned out to be over 3 ohms..

 

[Keeferes]

Did you change the coil diameter box to 3mm? Also the leg length can make a difference as well. Have you tried to duplicate any simple builds from YouTube videos?

A larger diameter like that at least to me makes wicking easier than smaller diameters. Especially as you are just starting out. Just do a few less wraps on your next one. Hope you try it on your cloupor and ratchet the watts up and down to get a result you like. Lol whatever you did on the quote makes me look like I am responding to myself.

I agree with that, but I think microcoils are much easier to learn. 5/64 or 3/32 ID coils can be easily wicked with 2 pieces of yarn, or a single piece. This let's the person learn to build consistent coils without the added hassle of proper wicking. Once you can duplicate a good coil, then you can work on different sizes and practice wicking. Just MHO.

don't laugh too much now go easy on me..

 

[gel drops]

I don't think I did

Being curved is part of the trouble. That will create an uneven current flow and cause "hot spots". It's not that bad really. Are you leaving your mandrel in the coil while placing it and securing it? If not try that way. That will help you keep the coil straight and even.

My thoughts exactly. Then dry burn it a few times and squeeze it with mini pliers or tweezers until it glows from inside to outside of coil when you fire it.

 

[Keeferes]

Don't fire while holding with tweezers or plyers unless they are ceramic tipped. It will short out and pop the coil.

Lol I never assumed someone would fire while squeezing, but good point to make. Fire it, and then squeeze, fire it and then squeeze, until it looks good. Brightness starts in center of coil and goes towards outside of coil when you have it right. Also, I tighten coils pushing them together on mandrel,drill bit,screwdriver before I put it in. Don't get too squeeze happy after dry firing. Just a few squeezes should get results you want without deforming your nice coil.

,I used a 3mm to wrap coils a round it was a single build but my ohms were way off,the build turned out to be over 3 ohms..

I'm learning how to do this also. I had some weird 3.0 + readings on my Magma today too and it turned out to be a twisting post! One of the 2 posts can spin and with the coil attached, I could spin it a tad and it would go from 3.6 down to 2.1- my targeted goal. See if your Magma's posts are stationary. I think I'm going to have to return mine and get another.
