Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[Diver9543]

Waiting for my yellow to arrive. I can almost put all my PVs in one place now.

Good job Ken. A really great idea and looks like a fun project.

I made a new recipe today, Mango Custard. So far I am really liking it. I only made 10ml for a couple tanks in my Kanger Subtank Mini. Here it is if anyone else is interested. I am going to finish the 10ml and if I still like it I will make a bigger batch.

Mango Custard
11/13/15 10ml 3mg
Mango 1.1ml
Whipped Cream .7 ml
Vanilla Custard .6 ml
Bavarian Cream .6 ml
Nic .5 ml
PG 1.5 ml

My New Yorkers came in but not the Velocity mini or the HG2's yet.
Vapin a 1.8 T3 on a new yorker right now. With a recycled laptop 1850 though.
Fine for a 1.8 coil. Running in the neighborhood of 8 watts.

Got some 24 and 26 ga Kanthal on the way as well.

I've got a spool of 26 gauge you can have. Thick wire heats up too slowly for me.

Thanks but mine is coming with the Velocity mini which is what it will be used in if I wind up using it at all. If I do like the 26 ga I will take you up on that though.
I sort of got it just to try.

I've got a few different gauges but, I find myself using 28 gauge the most.

Depending on the size coil needed I use 32,30 and 28. Mostly use 30.

All I have is 30g. Five wraps on a machine screw for 1.5Ω. All alike. Heat up quick, good flavor, good clouds at 50/50.

I used 28 in my little caterpillar dripper. I use 30 now for the T3's and Evods. Not sure yet what I will use in the Velocity and ST Mini.
You use double 30 though don't you? Might have to try that in the Velocity Mini.

Same here for now. 5 wraps =1.5-1.6 and 6 wraps =1.8.
I currently have 32, 30 and 28 ga.

OK - here is mine all done.


I will probably spend a few days re-aranging PVs and slots to get just the right look for me... Then change it up every once in a while, just because I can

I use a triple parellel 32 or 30. Oddly the 32 is easier to make large parellel coils with.

30 awg

Honstly I think the 32 vapes better than anything I've built.

I have to get me a couple in different sizes. All I've been building is micro coils but, getting into tc I'll need to build spaced coils and with NI200 a machine screw works well I understand.

 

[Robert Cromwell]

You do not have to use a machine screw. Just wrap on mandrel and then while on mandrel stretch it out a bit and then push it back together. Makes a nice spaced coil.

I remember Busardo's or someone on YouTube doing that and they were perfect. That was with titanium or stainless. I thought nickel was too soft to hold it's springyness like that.

 

[MattB101]

When they built the coil on the screw they didn't take it out until it was attached to the screws on the build deck and the spacing was virtually perfect. Only had to fiddle a tiny bit after they put the wick in.

Are you building spaced or contact microcoils?

I think it will have enough springiness to work. But have not tried it with nickel.

Right now contact on my Kayfuns but, with my experiments with TC I'm thinking I'll need spaced.

I've been thinking of trying spaced microcoils (1.5-1.9mm ID) but am not sure what application would benefit from them.
