Regarding the diameter versus the length ratio, aren't the posts a bit far from each other?
Pre-bend the legs as required before mounting the coil. 24g Ti coil with what I call "slightly" spaced wraps.

I just space my coils after wrapping them 6 or 8 times depending on the wire. Currently running 26/36 SS Clapton, 6 wrap spaced, 0.23ohm at 450f/75w on my rx200s
edit: I am running the limitless combo with 510 drip tip cap and a merlin tip. the chuff cap was too airy for me
dang that's some serious RDTA action >=)Picked up the Geek Vape Karma kit on Sunday. I love my Limitless RTDAs, but gotta say that the construction of the Karma tops it. It's heavy duty and solid!
I'm up to 12 RDTAs at thus point, and have my eye on 2 more lol

However, I'm now seeing the Demon Hunter and Iron Maiden and Mage...
Somebody stop me!

Bought the Ammit because of it being a single coil, but compared to the L+ with a single coil it's not near as good. I favour the L+ over the RTAs I have, anyone think the same? I think I will only buy RDTAs from now on.
I'm with you friend, nothing but rdas and rdtas in my daily rotation these days.
My first take on the bent coil. It was pretty easy, but will try to bend it so it will not be as far out the next time, even though it works fine, and I have read that it lessens the risk of spit back having it far out.

SS316L, 26awg, 3.5mm, 0.45Ohm. Running it at 65 watts and 260C (500F). Fiber Freaks D1 wick. Can chain vape with it.
What other RDTA(s) is/are worth buying at the current time, which support a single coil build? Will consider the Smok Skyhook when it arrives, but it doesn't look as it supports a single coil build.
Nice job, looks great nocigs. I'm not sure what offerings for single coil rdtas are out there. I'll take dual coils at 65w vs. single.
With that 26g SS wire I'd be winding up a couple of 3mm 7wrap slightly spaced coils to lob in there. I think you'll find the flavor to better.
Thank you cigatron, very nice of you to say! I agree. The flavor is not top notch. Had slightly better flavor with the SS316L triple twisted I had in it before this. Will make a dual tomorrow, thanks for the advice! Too tired now. Guess it's between the Ijoy Combo, Classic or Avocado 24, or wait for something better, as I'm very happy with the L+, and got to think about how much money I have got left too.
This coil works great in the other L+ I have. No wicking problems at all, even with chain vaping. Using the Fiber Freaks D1 here too. Triple twisted kanthal 28awg. Using it on my Noisy Cricket in unregulated serial mode. Flavor is awesome!

Try some nichrome. Started on Kanthal, went to SS316L and then to nichrome80 and never looked back since. But every now and then just for the sake of not wasting good wire I build with some SS316L [emoji23]
2+2=5 [emoji102]
Nichrome80 is great yes, beside it cannot be used for TC. Buying a DNA mod which I just did, it makes it kinda a waste of money not using it for TC.
Built dual coil 28awg, 3.5mm, 8 wraps, which is at 0.5 Ohm combined, but not very happy about it. I think I prefer a single coil triple twisted over this. But, might be because I'm got a bit of a foul taste in my mouth, and is dead tired. Will try again after brushing my tongue.
Add: Seems I got a bit of burnt rayon there. Building when tired... Pushed it up to 250C (484F) and got temperature protected message. Forgot to trim the wick tails. Coils looked perfectly lined up before the wicking, but 3.5mm makes the ring that's screwed to the glass difficult to place without pulling on the wicks.

What's good about a dual coil is that it doesn't take long to empty the tank. Will fix this first
when it's empty, if I can get the glass off...

Hey, you're definitely getting there nocigs! Looking good!
On my L+ with 3mm coils I run my AFC at half open. That matches or is just slightly wider than the length of my coils. I find I get better vapor and flavor density that way. You might try reducing the spaces between wraps some to speed up ramp time and try closing down the AFC. The flavor should really pop.
Oh, and definitely thin those wick tails so they barely, but completely, fill the wick channels.
