Giggle? It made me lol. Good one Kevin. Howz it vape?

Was an interesting vape. I could see it working quite well with unflavored. It was a very smooth vape, but my monkey poo was quite muted. I might revisit it another day if I ever decide to vape unflavored again, but i'm hooked on the poo.

Poo + mundy's magic... 4-wrap... divine

Hello all, I'm fairly new here but had a question. Great thread by the way!!

I have 32 Gauge kanthal wire. Is it possible to use this gauge wire and if so how many wraps do you think it would need for a 1.5ohm ish single coil build on and IGO-W?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT - I also have 28 gauge kanthal wire as well....

I like 28 much better, but only had 32 when I first got my RM2. Here is a 32 gauge 1.2 ohm coil wrapped around a 1/16" drill bit. Notice I doubled the wire over and wrapped it dual to help cut the ohms down.

I have two identical looking black box Ohmmeters (because i am greedy and paranoid) - the older one of the two will read a coil as "0.83" and the other will drop the decimal totally and read "832" as in your pic. It's really spurious accuracy, since i can never replicate a coil to 1/1000ths of an Ω and i prefer the old one.

Anyway - i hate cotton because it wears out so fast and has a dry-burn resistance of nil. So since Officer Dibby told me how to drill out an Igo-S, i have to microcoil it since the posts are so close. I have had good results before with xc-116 so a 9 wrap 26g kanthal has hit 0.8Ω and i'll give that a thrash.

(yes yes - technically the ID of the xc is 1/16th - so it's not a definitive micro etc!)

I am giving the R41 a wide berth after last time and i am too lazy to make any Mundy magic!

Hope that monkey is getting his harris moving and making my liquid

Sweet! My main goal is to use my IGO-W on my iTaste MVP v2. So I need to get it around 1.5 ohm's to fire or even read on the Ohm checker. So far no luck with my first attempt - 10 wraps on a finishing nail with 32 gauge kanthal wire. I would use 28 gauge if I knew it wasn't too big a resistance with my MVP's watt allowance?

Larger wire, smaller gauge will yield a lower ohm not higher. 32 is higher ohm than 28. don't double it and try 8 to 10 wraps that should be above 1.5.

Edit: really depends on how small that nail is, you might need go bigger like a tooth pick.

Thanks for the reply, I've now wrapped 2 separate coils 1 @ 28 gauge 10 wraps and 1 @ 32 gauge 10 wraps. Still not readying or firing on my MVP v2. I'm stumped.. I really need an actual ohm checker I can't seem to rely on the MVP's. I watched a GrimmGreen youtube video on a 10 wrap 28 gauge coil firing on a MVP but can't seem to get mine to fire. It fires on my Magneto mech Mod. I even tried using a 510 to ego adapter with the MVP thinking the post on the IGO-W wasn't long enough to make a connection. Adapter works on the Magneto and also on the MVP with a protank 2 510 connection but not the IGO-W. Hmmm.. I'm officially stumped.
