What gauge wire is that?
Sbmqcy - beautiful coils. Yeah i was gonna ask you what gauge cause it looked like a lot of wraps for low ohms - which is a good thing i think thats why i actually ordered some 26 gauge just yesterday actually- never tried ""chrome" material though. I will have to try that
Beautiful coil. Yeah thats how ive been wrapping mine, just nowhere near as nice.
The perpendicular coil i just saw a video from vapedvr or something with a coil perpendicular to the posts and pointing at the airhole like your second coil - how does that one vape in comparison ? Do you wick it the same as normal coil ?
Turbo--- thats a good idea in terms of moving coil closer to posts and away from airhole to increase throat hit. Im a throat hit guy !
I also mentioned in a post i think large part of problem is my juice vendor. I was vaping 50mg of their stuff and feeling unsatisfied. I yanked out a 32mg mt baker flavor and it knocked me on my .... (both were .7 ohms at 3.7 volts).
Excited for the 26 gauge to come in the mail.
The hh .357 is just a coil - there should be no reason cant reproduce it
Awesome pics and suggestions ! Thank you.

Here's an awesome gizmo for easily making great coils. There is a 1.5mm winder that's perfect for micro coils and I think some are using the smallest for nano coils. Amazon.com: Artistic Wire Coiling Gizmo(R) Deluxe Winder for Jewelry Making: Arts, Crafts & Sewing
Actually, that's just one coil. I was just showing before turning and after. I haven't gotten one of the gizmos blue is talking about, but I use a shanked 1/16th bit to wrap my coils or a darkzero jig. One thing I will say is that these, more perfect, coils have one problem. Assuming you coil from the spool, when you fire them to get rid of hotspots, etc, they contract so that your mandrel doesn't fit anymore. I've ruined more than a couple coils trying to run the mandrel through to clean up the hotspots.

It was easier when I was wrapping by hand, because they weren't so tight, so that after firing, the mandrel still fit.

I haven't had the problem with the coils contracting but I use Kanthal. Could that be the difference?
Borescope- thats funny i was actually checking out wizard labs randomly for nic. Funny you mentioned it. Holy .... i think 8.99 for 120ml of 100mg! - that should produce 360ml or so of 33mg nic just have to throw in some vats of pg n vg n some flavoring concentrate - guessing 30-50 bucks for 360ml w bulk of cost being flavoring- on tight budget and vaping alot of mls with the reo - i use to pay triple just to get jantys old ry4. Nowadays a little wiser and on a much lower budget.
I see what you mean now sbmqcy and about it being one coil- i follow now- gonna build that tonight. Havent tried yet- That be awesome if can increase the throat hit. Excellent instructions and pics - how is yours vaping ? Whats advantage disadvantage of chrome versus kanthal ? Assuming not much - but please correct me -
Great tips - thank you.

I don't know if nichrome would contract significantly more than kanthal. Nichrome 80, which is what that is, is distinguished from kanthal in that it doesn't contain any iron, I believe. Kanthal a-1, nichrome 60, and nichrome 80 all have slightly different alloy compositions. N80 also happens to be significantly less resistive than kanthal. 26ga n80 = 2.57 ohms/foot vs 26 ga kanthal = 3.21 ohms/foot.
For me, I just use it because I like the flavor better. Maybe I'm tasting iron in kanthal and n60. Who knows? I just like it better.

That coil is vaping great. It's a bit harsher th, but also a bit sweeter vape. Vaping bobas in there now. The cinnamon notes are much stronger at first with this coil, with the sweetness coming later and stronger than with a horizontal micro

Yeah, get nic from WL, once you know what flavors you like, could order directly from TFA, larger size flavors for good prices.

Boba's Bounty from Alien Visions ejuice. Make sure it's the real one. TFA = The Flavor Apprentice, makes flavors for DIY juice. Good stuff, TFA that is. Is what I use, and many others.

I get very little vapor from that build which I'm fine with - i must be wicking it a little wrong. But awesome throat hit - thats what i really need at moment cause my juice is so weak and been having zero throat hit. And um its pretty damn simple build which i love. I personally aren't into trying a million. Builds. Feels like its more powerful and great throat hit. Seems weird to produce that with very little vapor but like i said i "aint, " complaining. Thanks much !!!!!
