Hi everyone

Wanted to share with you my expirience on the first built I made with ready ribbon wire:
I made a simple built single coil with this ribbon wire
(I like it simple more easy when I run few Ithakas with different juices).

Wrapping:

Easier then the regular wire.
More soft on the wick so it's not turn too tight or too loose,very easy to control.
It make more wrap for the same ohms 6 full wraps for 1.5 ohm.
The contact on the wick is even greater then those 6 wraps becouse it's flat,it's equal more
Wraps of regular wire.

Taste:

Clean,very clean and vape is atomized much finer,and much faster,without being too hot.

This is just the first built and I will see how long it will last and how it will perform in the long run.
But after the taste it's look there is no going back to regular wire.
the juice just taste,better and there are subtle notes of flavors that were not there.
not day and night just more nuance.
Keep on vaping:)

I use x mode dual coil with flat ribbon kanthal successful .6-.7 ohms with 2mm wick from Vassilis (one that comes whit Ithaka)
Is a little hotter on Ithaka for the chain vapers
mention that a few months I use flat ribbon kanthal exclusively in other atty
for me flat ribbon kanthal is the best ,that's why now I vape from 24 to 9mg :)


I'm curious I want to try on Ithaka ,,The Tin Man Coil RiP Trippers mod ,,:)

Hey sorry guyes fell asleep a little earlier,and just got up to drinks somthing
It still 0300 here,but lately I check on the way to drink GG forum (crazy)
but this member club is 24/7 lol.

Any way in morning this going with me to office(and one more like it-2 mods 2 Ithakas).
I log it,like day 2 or something
And if there is somthing of interest ( like how it break in compare to standard wire)I'll
Post it again here.
The point of doing is not so my built of coil,it's the ribbon as hot coil compare to circular wire.

Great input from U2 guys for others to see as more reference point.
Better if others have any expiriens with this wire will post here as well.
Back to bad now :)

I had an Idea that I wanted to test in last days,so in the end I gave it a try.
wanted to try micro coil but don't have time in mid' week to make time consuming
Builds.
And as I already post few times I running some 6-8 Ithakas in parallel and figure this
kind of built wont do for me.
So I tried something different that take very short time.
First I put inside the Ithaka rebuildble the old taller nut in close position.
as I felt this will suit me more for this thing I look after.

Ribbon wire coil as micro coil or tin coil what ever this called:

I took 2 2.5mm silica wick,and made single coil on 2 wicks Imeo style.
But I round the ribbon wire loops very close to each other touching as close as I could!
Becouse it's flat it was more easy,and cover enough part of the wick.
It made 4 full loops,but to keep them very close like this I needed to make from each side
One more turn of the NR wire so the R coil won't get separate,but won't be also on top of the other.
Then I put on the mod to see how it glows.
Guys It glows from the inside and very fast and even glow.
Then I Fill e juice close the tank and baaaaam, 2 times the amount of vaper,
Without effort full flavor.
I built two more like this ( with the old nut ).
The house is full of vapore:laugh: my wife ask me "hi what you are up to I cannot see a thing
Ha ha ha :laugh:
I told her all is fine open the window.
I never tried micro coil guys,only read your post,
But I cannot handle more vapor then this thing pumping with out adding some blowers
To the house, it's like seating in a sauna,and vapor is soft without harshness.
This built take no time very easy and vape fluffy dens clouds like steam turbine,
perhaps the old center nut contribute to this performance.:)
This pre made wire suite me just fine.
It's very pleasant surprise I didn't thought this will make such a difference but it does.:)

I must admit need to change my habit to return to Ithaka mode and silica wick 3mm
in the last months I use exclusively Kanthal A1 Ribbon wire 0.1x0.5 and ekowool silica 3mm wick ,even if 3 is much thicker and does not fit in Ithaka
currently Ithaka limits you a little my personal settings no it would not be good ,looks and works very well , other atty seem to be underdeveloped compared to Ithaka :laugh:
so far the best option for me is x mode dual coil .7ohms
