Didn't play with Nichrome ribbon, but I am intrigued.
Pics are worth a thousand words.
Got any kinky pics to share? :p

:vapor:

Here's a single piece, as I used it.

Quick question regarding the Mundys Magic Wire. How many coils of that will safely fit in the RM2. Wrapping on a 17g needle how high a resistance can I expect to get assuming I wanted to get a higher resistance?

I have done 8 turns squeezed and I think 1 or 2 more would fit.
Don't remember exactly but I think the 8 turn on 1.2mm form was around 1.1 or 1.2 ohms.
Heat up time with 8 was too long for me, I like immediate satisfaction which is 6 turns or less squeezed. (on 1.2mm @.8 ohm)
Just guessing I would say around 1.5 ohms with 10 wraps on 17 gauge needle.
Let me know how close my guess was.

Got my new magnifier head set today. Built a couple of RBA's. Was really worried it wouldn't work with my specs. Goes form 1x to 10x. Fantastic is all I can say. Even had a led light on it. Under $15. From eBay. Yep it's made cheap. But it works!!!!!!!!!!

link or seller info? thnx,

having issues

I think I purchased the exact same one couple of weeks ago. Definitely helps!

Just lookup Led lighted Magnifier, tons there to see.

Well, can't catch up with my cousin for a lens to rake pics with, but scrapped the funnel shaped coil after trying the Mundys Magic Wire. I think I made it right as it looks exactly like everybody's photos and Vape to a whole new level. Flavor like I've never had before. Wrapped about 5-6 wraps and got .8 ohms and its sweet. Hard to squeeze coils together though, otherwise definitely enjoyable. Thanks for the pointers and research Alexander, kudos to you.

i tried the ebayzon magnifier and found it annoying.

now i use a much brighter headlamp from HF which might be this one, plus a pair of 8X reading glasses from some website that Scott (Sterno) turned me onto.

What was that site for the reading glasses?
