Ha, this is the Apollo Gen B v
Plenty of room for the parachute too.
Twisted 32g, 1.7mm, 9 maybe 10 wraps per coil. Each coil is like 1.7 to 1.8 ohms so total is about .9 ish. Run on dna mod. I do like twisted 32g alot, seems close to 28g but alot faster. I tried 28g in this exact resistance but seemed alot more sluggish.
I have two R91s (real UCT, first generation) and two KFL+ V2 (authentic SM, direct from Vaperev). There really isn't much difference in how they vape. In fact if you blindfolded me and put the same drip tip on 'em, I'm not sure I could tell the difference. That said, I've been slowly migrating to bottom-feeders over the last few months, so only one of the four is in regular use at this point and it's one of the real SM KFLs.
In principle, it should have the same cross-sectional area (and therefore the same resistance per unit length) as 29 gauge.
I think I will replicate this exact build tomorrow. I like that the twisted gives you the quick heat up. I don't have a DNA but I'll slap it on my mech with a fresh battery. thanks Diver.
The problem ended up being a bad batch if ejuice that would clog doils afte\ter about a half hour, Usaually I've got good filtering, need to revisit.

Maybe that's why it seems faster then 28, because it is. cool, I now know it's like 29, thanks. I do have some 29g as well, I use to use it quite a bit but there's just something about the twisted wire.
It's a great build but can be a pain, especially with twisted 32g. It takes a while to obtain a tight coil, as it tends to slip and loosen. I form coil, then pull on leads a few times, I then torch and stretch again. Eventually it stays at the correct diameter. Then mounting is a pain as well, there again even more so with a flimsy coil. But once it's good to go, it's a great vape. Imo it's not as warm as a single coil of the same resistance. Also the vapor seems a bit thicker and slightly more flavourful. From start to finish, it's about an 1.5 hr build.
Sometimes juice is a major culprit. I have one juice that is very touchy with cotton. Sometimes I can get it, sometimes I cannot.
I've noticed that rayon is quite a bit more forgiving than cotton as a wicking material; without the taste of silica.
I hate silica dry burns... Yuck
Wasn't the ejuice, a commercial ejuice gave the same failure mode, burnt under the coil. The ends are wet. Definitely not too much wick, I've gone from, 1/4" to 3/8" strip of pad. I think it has to be a defective Tribeca.

The thing a notice between the ephro build which just keeps going giving no problems and the trobeco which burns cotton at the coil around the 1 hr mark is that the bad build makes a gurgleing sound. While the good build is has a clean drag with no gurgling. Would that be significant?
Ah.
The way I see it,
Gurgling = flooding = either your draw is super strong or your AFC is very tight, OR you have too much cotton and it is over wicking.
Your problem is getting dry hits and burn cotton.
Seems to me the only logical conclusion is that you're using waaay too much cotton for your wick and it's getting choked at the coil entrance.
Do you twist your cotton a ton before threading it through the coil?

I like that it is not as warm. I tend to enjoy cooler vaping.
I have been messing around with the cotton pads myself and one thing I can say is that I haven't used a piece 1/4 to 3/8 in width yet, at least with my coil diameters. Unless your coil diameter is 1/4, it might be to much. How is the airflow compared to your other kayfun?
