I've settled on a coil.

[Snickerfritz]

So, after about a year of trying just about every coil and build I could find/think of, it just occurred to me that I've settled into using only one coil for the last couple of months and have no desire to change it up now, it's the best (for me). It's a single braided coil, four wraps around a 3/32 bit, gives me around .6/.7 ohms. I use four strands of 32 gauge kanthal, twisted until it snaps. This sucker is durable. I bet I could use a single coil for a year. Braided coil chucks the vapor too. There it is.

Good to hear you've found what works for you . I never really experimented with too many different coil builds. A couple of dozen different variations of single and dual coil single wire setups did it for me. Settled on dual coils of 27 gauge Kanthal at around 0.45 ohms in small RDAs. Preferably on a bottom feeder

I like twisted coils. Just a PITA but a double twisted seems to work really great.

28ga. 8 wrap dual coils in my RDA's - last for months, until I get bored and replace them.
Hey, if it works, why mess with it?

I think I found mine, we will see how long. Single, twisted 28g, 10 wraps 1 - 1.1 ohms on the Mephisto RDA. It's perfect for me because it doesn't heat up the RDA as fast and chucks clouds

First and only thing I've ever successfully used has been triple twisted 32 gauge. Had 100 feet of it and was too poor to buy more/different at b&m and too impatient to wait for the mail the day I got my kayfun & rda. why haven't I tried something else? Why eff around when what you got tastes great and chucks vapor. Tried 4 strands and it was just too springy for decent wrapping for me, even with torching the crap out of it.

Pure and simple microcoils; 28 gauge @ 0.6 ohm on my drippers; 28 gauge @ 1.5 ohm on my KFL+. Coils are dry burned between wick changes. Current dual coils on my drippers are at least 10 weeks old.

As I posted in another thread, I try just about every coil that comes down the pike and keep coming back to tight, neat microcoils. Whatever keeps you off the smokes is the "right" coil for you!

My favourite coil in the world is a 7 wrap around a 20 gauge needle with 24 gauge Kanthal that equals out to around .6-.7. I love the macro coil. So much flavour and holds so much juice in the wick

 

[DavidOH]

In the KFL it's a 6/7 wrap of .6 ribbon @ 1.3 ohm. In the dripper when I'm home it's 5/6 wrap dual .8 ribbon @ .5 ohm.

What I do is take two wing span pieces of 32 gauge, double both strands over together and twist. It is a little springy when trying to install the coil, but once it's done it'll go for months.

Bin usin a triple twistin sommersualt with a jackpike dismount on my ... for months now

I haven t got a bloody clue what half of you guys are on about ... but full marks for innovation

 

[StarsAndBars]

Twisted single coil is my fav also. I use 30 gauge at about .8-.9 ohms. The coil heats up instantly and is great for 2 second mouth-lung hits. Although, it seems that 30 gauge is getting harder to find in local shops.
