Just thought of this build. What do you think??

[Ryedan]

Nice work FleetFoxes! I can see you really like complex coils. I've been using rebuildables for about two years now and I've mostly stuck with single wire, dual coil setups. I tried two twisted wires a few times and though it vaped well I didn't find any improvement over my simple builds.

Keep up the good work and let us know what you try next

 

[Ryedan]

I'd actually love to see you do some more experimentation with the mixed style coils. It shouldn't be dangerous in any way, and it's very different from what anyone else (I've heard of) is doing.

I have seen someone do it before, but he didn't know what he was doing. FleetFoxes does and I would also be interested if he discovers anything interesting.

I appreciate all the kind words guys! Literally the OPPOSITE response that I got at reddit!!! I will keep posting my finding here! I'm always thinking of new (but probably not orginal) ideas!

A suggestion. Try wrapping the wicks tightly around the coils and tucking under to seal the bottom make sure its sealed. The vapor would shoot out of the top a pipe line of vapor directly to your lungs. A super vertical dragon quad!

Great idea I will definitely try that!

Here is tonight's build.

2 strands of 26 gauge kanthal wrapped 10 times around a 3/32 drill bit. Dual coils weighs in at 0.3 Ohms. The flavor is pretty damn in your face, just perfect. Ramp up is quick when you turn up the wattage a bit and the clouds are out of this world.

That is a lot of metal. Don't take me wrong. I diddle around when ever I have time and always try fixing thatwhich is not broken. But damn dude! That vertical thing looks like it belongs in a survival kit or something! Anyway, looks like you are having fun. Vape on!

Tonight I decided take my first wack at fitting quad coils in the Mutation v3. It wasn't as bad as I thought, but my wicking method was pretty difficult. This is 26 gauge kanthal wrapped 10 times around a 3/32 drill bit. For wicking I used two pieces of organic cotton for each side of the posts. I fed it through the top of the right coil and then used a piece of kanthal to insert it into the bottom of the left coil and push it up until I could grab it with my fingers and pull it through. That was pretty hard and took me a little while. This setup weighs in at 0.3 Ohms. The flavor is fantastic with this build and the vapor is pretty damn good too! Here are the pics!

If you are building duals the coils NEED to be identical. You can't have one twisted and one regular/ parallel.. they have to be exact same number of wraps also. While this build may be working now, it's an accident waiting to happen. No disrespect to you, and not bashing you. Just telling you if you are doing duals they must be identical for best performance and safety! Don't want to see you fry that mod..

Umm, No...they don't. Their resistances need to be equal and each coil may require some tweaking to get the ramp up time compatible but multiple coils do not need to be identical configurations. The operative parameter to electrical safety is resistance, not configuration.

I'd actually love to see you do some more experimentation with the mixed style coils. It shouldn't be dangerous in any way, and it's very different from what anyone else (I've heard of) is doing.

So would I.

Happy vaping!

Any thoughts on having the coils tilted towards the center post instead of the negative? My thinking would be that, with proper wicking, would perform as quad dragon coils and basically shoot the vapor up the chamber to the drip tip.

So I thought of this about an hour ago and have never seen it done before (although I'm sure it has). I have a Mutation X V3 and thought of doing dual quad kanthal with huge coils.... VERTICALLY! I thought to myself.. "no this isn't possible. It's just going to touch something and short. It's going to be too tall. Blah blah blah."

Well it is possible! Barely....

The build consists of 4 strands of 28 gauge kanthal wrapped parallel 9 times around a 3/32 drill bit. With two of those the build should weigh in around ~0.2 Ohms.

This isn't the neatest wrap I have done especially because the coil had to be twisted vertically which caused the kanthal to overlap a bit in certain places. I got it so they were glowing very nicely from the inside out. Again, not too proud of the neatness of the coil.

At this point I had an idea that I knew would be difficult to execute, but decided to try it anyways. One single piece of cotton running through both coils and onto the deck. Fed from the top downwards. I wanted a bridge between both coils at the top so gravity would pull the juice downwards instead of the usual gravity fighting style that most builds use (not that there is any problem with those builds). It took a little time, but I eventually got it.

At this point I took a piece of kanthal and started fluffing the ends a bit since I had to twist them hard for the long run downwards through both coils. This way they would be able to fill up the entire space on the deck. I tucked the ends of the cotton into the deck and juiced her up!

Here is a picture with the walls of the RDA attached. Close fit!

After having a nice vape!!

I have to say I'm pretty proud of myself since I've only been using RDA's for a couple weeks now. I've become a coil addict and have made a new one every day, but this is the first one I thought of doing myself. I'm sure something like this has been done before, but I've never seen it myself.

The flavor is there, the vapor is there, there's a little ramp up time since the coils are so large, but at 79.3W/4.4v you barely notice it. Even at lower wattages it is still a pretty quick ramp up. Resistance is 0.2 Ohms and it allows me to get more hits without filling it up as much even though it still spits clouds!

I DUB THEE...

THE DUAL TORNADO COIL

Vape on my friends!

You are my hero! I wish I had the will power to do stuff like this.

Don't listen to ol careful kitty here as long as both coils are the same resistance ya got no worries. The amp load will be the same on each coil. Though the heat up will be different on each one ergo the one made out of 22 will heat up different than the parallel 28 .
