Damn. Just wrapped up a couple of coils on my RM2s with some new wire and blunt tips. Details after this statement

HOW THE HELL DO YOU GUYS VAPE MICRO COILS AT OR BELOW 1 OHM?

Here's the deal:

Grand:
27ga Kanthal A1 around a 17 ga blunt tip. 14 wraps 1.26 ohms. Damn that's a warm vape. And I can hear an after sizzle when I let off the trigger. Cool.

VV Grand:
27ga Kanthal A1 around a 17 ga blunt tip. 11 wraps 1.10 ohms. I did it smaller so I can turn down the power on my VVG if its too hot. Even with the power all the way down its hot.

I think I like the thick wire and I definitely like the 17 ga needles (they're also 1/2" barrel - real twist friendly compared to the 1.5" barrels)

Thanks to all you kids who started teasing me with fatter wire. I like it allot. You punks rule.

But still, how does anyone enjoy the vape on a coil this small and tight at the 1 ohm (or below) mark? Whatcha trying to do, breathe fire like a dragon?

I'll post some pix I took of the builds later. :)
Gotta go play some black ops II with my son. I'm super_X_drifter on XBL too game boys. :)

I blame pokemon for sub ohm brahs.... Unleash Charmander Newman!

These are the needle selections. Left to right.
16ga, 17ga & 18 ga. I used the middle white 17 ga.

That's a scale with millimeter increments.

DAYUM Supe!! I didn't expect such sexy coil porn.. just popped in to admit I couldn't help but hook up the Nickel Mini but I'm not sure if I wanna follow that act!

I take it you like the 17g? Looks just about perfect. Small enough even DZ couldn't deny that's a micro ;) yet wide enough to to get a decent thread of cotton in it.

Oh ok then, here she be:

28g N60, some ohms, Albino Drake from MBV..

Note - they were a little strong on the TH scale for my liking So I scanned back thru some words of wisdom from the camping dibmaster and pushed em down in the bowl a little and the balance is perfect.

Little adjustment made a big difference. Pdib's knowledge in these matters is beyond refute.

I knew that kid was money :)

Is tobacco juices not good in the micro coil cotton set up?
I noticed Bobas really burns the cotton and the coil turns black.

I've had no luck with BB and cotton wicks. It seems to filter out all the solids in the juice, altering the flavor and turning the cotton black.

I've had this experience with cotton yarn. It has happened with rolled cotton if I try to stuff too much into the coil bore. The trick is to put in a piece that is just smaller than the core and allow it to expand to fit.

Well after reading through all of this.
I made my first micro coil.
Rolled it on the tip of my juice needle.

All I had was 32 gauge kanthol and sylica.
Was a bit hard to get the sylica through that
tiny hole. I got it through about 3 strands.
I got around 7 wraps and Provari is reading 2ohm
Sweet!!!!

Few test rips seemed a bit dry. So I put a full
piece of sylica under the legs. (I am using an IGO-L)

Boom solved. Flavor is spot on. TH is great.
Now to get some larger gauge wire and some good cotton.

*Question*
Has anyone tried this on a Kayfun 3.1?
Reason I ask is. I just got one. Love this thing.
It has changed my vaping experience.

I'm thinking now a micro coil would have
This thing going Ba-Nan-As!!!!

Thnx in advance. :D
