That's 10 wraps on a 5/64" mandrel. I believe it was in the 1 ohm range. I am just doing straight up 30ga micro coils at 1.8 ohm for my Kayfuns now. Easy to build, and terrific performance.

Nice build wharf! Sorry for getting upset. I got some stuff in the mail, so I will post my new build and new vape setup in a couple hours.

Bryand, no worries man. I hope your mods and tops come in...I will post my builds as well. I have a Kayfun Lite I built on an MVP2 and an Ego-M on a Magneto...My mind is blown. Happy vaping---see you on the boards
Woohoo! I got a sentinel m16 with a stillaire storm (clones). 5 wraps .8 ribbon kanthal dual coil comes to .53 ohms! Powered by a 15 amp effest and this thing is beastly!!

Well here is my first newbie build. Actually it is my second as I coiled a KF Lite+ that is vaping great. My 2nd build is pictured below including a video of the "fireworks
" I coiled an IGO-M with dual 26g kanthal micro coils. I had it to .54 or so prior to applying juice then it jumped up to around .80 so wish it was "hotter" but it was plenty hot for a starter drip. It took around 3 hours for my new 18650VCT5's to charge on my i4 Intellicharger. I inserted them into my new Magneto. I put the batteries in the wrong way to start and it did not fire so I turned the battery around and it fired
I juiced it with Jolly Ranchers "Captain Custard, a really creamy tasty juice and the flavor was incredible. The IGO-M on this build did not throw "clouds" like I have seen on youtube but it threw plenty of vapor and the flavor was the thing I really wanted to experience. I am totally OD'd on 6mg juice for the day. Enjoy the pics!

To be honest crappy lol I kept feeling like only one of the coil's was firing because it would be great then horrible then great come to find out the left coil was loose so tightened that bad Jackson down and BAM! works amazing great flavor (I'm dripping Rise from ruthless fluids highly suggest them of you haven't tried them yet) and the vapor is great! Only thing I would want to critique on it would be it's not very dense but other then that amazing!!

You build looks amazing! Do you crimp your coils after you Mount them? And how was your vapor? And I as will use 28g kanthal lol and also km really thinking about grabbing an igo-m, the omega is nice but the twist down screw's for wire mounting in a pain for dual coils

That sounds great! I did crimp my coils before and after mounting as that is the way to get the resistance down. I used 26g kanthal as well. I edited my post. The 26 was a little harder to work with. I pre torched it to make it less springy. I was tightening my posts down too tightly and kept breaking off the coil lead...LOL. I had to re-do the right side three times...So that was a good lesson. The IGO-M is very AIRY...I have it on a half a hole exposed and it still is very loose. It did leak abit- I tried not to over juice so I just wiped it off with a cloth. No biggie. I will check out ruthless fluids as well!
Does the igo-m have the posts were you can just feed you leads through the holes or do you have to Mount them around the screw's? Since I'm new what's the benefits of pretorching the wires of you don't mind explaining lol

Very nice builds! I have a patriot on the way. How was it to build on? What was your experience you know like taste and vapor???

6 wraps of 22 gauge around 1/8th drill bit dual coil in in my patriot 9/32 drilled air holes for clouds and in my kayfun I got 7 wraps chimney coil 28 gauge
Very nice! What kind of resistance did you end up with. AWG of wire and how many wraps?
Pretorching the wires makes them easier to work with. In some sense, I think they maybe easier to work with right out of the box. I will keep trying both ways. The IGO-M has the feed through holes- no winding leads around a screw head. Mine came with allen screws instead of Phillips heads. I don't mind either...I am going to get some backups when these things strip out. If I don't apply too much torque they should last awhile.
