Micro Coils to increase Vapor, flavor & TH

[Stoneface]

Hey all, just wanted to give another update on my oval coil build....I made another coil with 28 gage, 9 wraps, 1.6 ohm, wicked with cotton. The oval shape is situated vertically about 1.5 mm or so above the air hole in my R91. I have it sitting angled between the two posts, with the wick tails resting on the deck as the original instructions suggest. I have no wicking issues whatsoever, and I can do 3 pulls with no dry hits or burnt taste. I think this is gonna be my regular build from now on until I find something that works better. Great taste, very good vapor production, though I'm not chasing clouds, the vapor production is very good to me. I think my next wick will have a longer tail so I can cross it over the top of the coil. When I changed to the 1.6 ohm coil, I noticed a bit of burnt juice on the top and sides of the coil, so I'm hoping the wick over the top will help reduce that. Otherwise, Im gonna have to clean the coil after every tank. Suggestions anyone??

BJ43 explored an oval coil build. He wasn't wrapping micro coils, but he experimented with all sorts of permutations and solutions. It starts here in the Just Hemp thread...

A lot of very useful information on a single page. For new rebuilders, like me, the size chart is invaluable. Adding the resistance is iceing on the cake. Thanks. Nice collaboration. Appreciate your input and help!

that is so awesome!!! thanks for that post.

I think most ACE Hardware stores are privately owned, so they vary in what they carry, but the music wire and various small gauge metal stock is found in bins, near the other hardware stuff like bolts / nuts and washers, but not on the same isle, in my local store it is on the end cap of the next isle down, near the sheet metal and stuff.

There are rods, hollowed out rods, square shapes, all kinds of stuff.

Thanks for that. You are right about them being different. With my garage setup, I'm a bit of a misfit in my community. My local Ace is probably better stocked with pre-filled LP tanks, BBQ accessories, and those $300 ice chests. Maybe cell phone batteries so the neighbors can call someone who knows what to do with the products they could buy at Ace. Their hardware section is pretty decent, but not at the level of some other nearby locations.

My store had the steel bin on an end cap, and the smaller stuff (which was picked through and kind of disorganized) was a half aisle away and didn't have any smaller wire in it. Me and the steel bin are old buds. I run up there to Ace for small stuff when I've got the welder out for something and don't feel like dealing with 5 acres of Home Depot or going across town to the metal place.

Great! I hope my numbers are not way off.

I just got ask... I was under the impression that a coil smaller then a nano was called a macro not a super nano.. help me out here superX

 

[Aal_]

Macro is bigger than micro thus bigger than nano

 

[ValHeli]

please don't start a name war... there's enough people having problems calling it a "micro coil" as it is

Just a quick update. I did, in fact, re-coil after having less than stellar performance with the 7 wrap micro using 0.6 x 0.1mm wire (30ga eq). That one made vapor ok, but had a flat taste and lacked the punch my last winner had. That one was hand wrapped on a 5/64" precision screwdriver. I didn't temper it first, so it probably sprang out to 3/32". It was still waiting for me on my desk, but on second glance, looked just a little imperfect to re-use.

No problemo. I got my board rig off the shelf and used the 5/64" wire to twist a new one. Clipped off about 4" of wire, burned it, then clamped the board between my knees and wound a new one in a minute. Same flat wire, but pre-torched and an extra wrap (6). It came out slightly smaller due to pre-torching (tighter wrap that didn't spring back out).

This one is vaping like a rock star! Will probably be the first one I've wound up that stays in the KFL+ long enough to be re-wicked a time or three.

Here's a quick 1.3 ohm micro I wrapped on my gizmo for my new mech bottom feeder - the oliveR by pdib

Here it is next another one of my bad ayuss mech bottom feeders.

And here's me vaping it

I think one of us needs to lower our nic level. Might be both of us.

I was reaching for my fire extinguisher . . . Nice. Tell me the flavor is at least as good as the vapor.

Lol, yes the flavor of of the unflavored is spectacular

Thanks bro Yes, takes a hot second to get used to it.

As for my F458 Italia, I've resigned myself to the fact that I'll prolly not ever have one

But I support my F1 team with the jacket

Is a nice looking Ferrara with a lot of power on just the rear lol, you could sell the house and live in it

the reason I asked is that ive raced against a few ferrari's, nothing like that what you are on about lol that's a beast! a few years back I used to own a 650bhp gtr r34, against things like twinturbo porshes its pretty even, but as we get older and more kids these things must go
