Just built my first twisted coil...

[markophonic]

28 gauge, 2.5mm, about 9 wraps coming out at 1.05 ohms. I put it in an APO rda That wasn't being used and fired it up on the Hana DNA40 at 20 watts. Nice long draw, dense and flavorful. Using a DIY strawberries and cream at about 75vg/25pgat 6mg. Lit me up like the Christmas tree. Me Like!

Twisted the wire with a Whip FInisher from the fishing tackel box...works great.

I'm there with you! I built my first three twisted coils and am loving it!
One single 28 ga 6 wraps for my Magma clone, and a dual 28 ga 7 wrap for my Plume Veil clone.

I'm thinking of trying out a single parallel for the Magma to see how different it is from twisted.
Have you done parallels? How do you feel they compare?

How did you like that whip finisher, I'm still playing but my best flavor came out of a twisted 28 gage/ single 1.0 ohm at 20W on my new Istick on an Atomic.

That's exactly how I set my coil up. worked great.

I like the whip finisher. Easily twist wires anywhere. no need for power tools.

I generally prefer single coils and a twisted single coil works great for me.

+1 on the twisted.

Been running twisted 28 Kanthal ~.8 to 1 ohm single coils on my RSBT and loving it.

you got me wondering, twisted and parallel coils perform nicely. the only downfall I have found with the few triple twisted 30g coil I have built is that they muck up really bad and are hard to clean fully. may make dual triple twisted 28g to put in my orchid to compare to the dual triple parallel 28g I got in my kraken

i tried 28g twisted 2 wires together, 7 wraps dual coil it came out to 0.2 ohms, i would like 0.3 so would 30g be better or more wraps? my coils also got alittle gunky

Made a triple twisted single coil 28 ga Kanthal for my Plume Veil clone last night. Wow, the flavor difference between a double twisted and a triple twisted coil is more than I imagined it would be!
I did seven wraps on a 5/64 drill bit (2 mm), and it came out to 0.54 ohms.

Someday, I might actually invest in some crazy builds, like Mundy, Tiger, or Clapton, since people tend to say those are more flavorful than twisted.

I made my first twisted single coil about thirty minutes ago. 28g wire going around 1/32" (.8mm) with six wraps. Then I added another coil with the same specs. I'm thinking about adding a third coil. This was done on my Stillare v3.
