What's up builders?! Today felt like a day to practice my coil building, I was looking through videos on YouTube when I noticed RipTrippers had a "new coil" made by someone on Facebook, cleverly called the inception coil.


-Now I had already made this coil last Halloween actually (I didn't come up with that cool name though, in fact it's not a very good coil so I thought I was dicking around), so I have a feeling someone may have seen my setup on reddit coilporn, then again it's not that much of a stretch that someone else wants to put a coil in a coil :p, so good job to that guy because it sure as hell wasn't easy for me.


-I however made mine out of 28 gauge, not 22 gauge which is as easy as wrapping with twist ties, so I had to combat the springy/ness. I decided to kick it up a notch as I had some practice with this one already and make a nano-inception coil (with 28ga wrapped on a 26ga needle and a tiny mechanical pencil tube for outer coil). It thankfully turned out absolutely perfect, it looks like a small tube hovering in a bigger tube, no gaps, no kinks, it still sucks as a coil lol (it vapes decent vertically, but if you try it put the transition to the larger tube face down almost in the eliquid, I find that the transition is usually a bad hotspot.) but it sure does look purdy.


The pics are attached below, please excuse my dirty nails, I'm a man.




And here's rip trippers build of it to get a better look at what it looks like, because my iphone camera sucks.

Looks good and thumbs up for the using a pencil tube, first time I made one I used an inner pen tube lol. Like yourself, I know a couple members including myself that made this coil quite awhile ago also. Think one of them gave it the name "the steam turbine". I actually got the idea from work as this is exactly how a boiler coil was made inside a boiler. My plan for it was to be used on a kayfun as a vertical chimney coil over the air hole, inside of smaller coil left open 2 cotton wicks sandwiched between the outer of small coil and inside of large coil. With the top wick ends coming out the top returning back to the base for a total of 4 wick tails being saturated. Seemed like an brilliant idea at the time but only having 32g resulted in a crappy vape because to high of ohms lol. Lower gauge is Definetly the key.

Don't you just love late night ideas and builds :toast:

Here it is, the boiler coil. See any similarities lmao I like how both leads are on the same end. Appropriate for a chimney coil build ;)

The multimeter told me 1ohm on the dot :D, what a coincidence someone brought a boiler coil into lowes and that's where I got the idea too!

-That sounds like an AWESOME setup for an RBA, too bad I don't have one (yet :p), I bet since the transition side heats up first, that would be counteracted by the airflow on the same side which only an RBA can do, that may work better than a standard coil, you should try with fewer wraps and post your results if they're good.
