please recommend me some coil biulds and wicking for some drippers....

[Juggernaut666]

sub ohm is fine, or non sub as well..... looking for both clouds chaser style and flavor chaser style.

I have:
2 Tobh copper
Stillare
Patriot
Big Dripper


also a sat22 if anyone has any "special builds" for that....

I'm usually a tank user, and wanted to get into trying out dripping and Genesis, so I bought a few.

Materials I have on hand:

Kanthal:
32g
30g
28g
26g
24g
Stainless Mesh
Japanese Cotton
Organic Cotton
Rayon

For Juices, I have a collection of 100%VG, 50/50, 40P/60V.

I know that leaves a lot of options, but would like to know what some of you guys' favorite builds are.


thanks for any advice you can offer.

What batteries are you running?

I'd you have the batteries to handle it 6 wrap 3.0id.dual coils in the tobh with rayon, reduce the tails by 80% (thin them out ) and you'll be great. That's my favorite build, should put you around 0.4ohm, that's about as low as you can go without sacrificing flavor.

4 wrap around mesh in the sat will be dope with 28ga. You really need to have a multimeter. It's a must.

 

[Juggernaut666]

I have Sony vtc4s, and I use a fluke multimeter.

 

[Juggernaut666]

What gauge wire on the tobh?

 

[OthatGuy]

6 wraps fairly big id. 26 or 24ga

If you like it wide open you can grind off the tabs for the afc and it makes it easier to center your coils and have even wicks

If you're coming from tanks I doubt you're gonna want to do a ridiculously sub-ohm build as it's gonna be a bit too much for your liking...
Why don't you try taking two 4" stands of 28g Kanthal and do 7 tight wraps around a 5/64th drill bit with each strand. Wick through the coils and tuck the excess in your juice well. It should put you around .7 ohms, which is a nice starting point for dripping, and it's an extremely easy build to do.
Let me know if you need any more instruction.

 

[OthatGuy]

Agreed! ^^^^

 

[Juggernaut666]

Right on, thanks guys, gives me a starting point. Yeah I'm a tank builder for the most part, bought a few drippers to try out and see if it's something I would enjoy.

 

[OthatGuy]

You will, simply bc the vape n flavor is unbeatable, after you get used to building you should, will want, a bottom feeder, takes the hassle out of dripping.

 

[DoctorD]

@OthatGuy I think a lot of tank builders start using RDAs because of how easy it is to change flavors on a whim compared to tanks. I wick so that as all of my juice is thoroughly evaporated and I can drip a new flavor without any sort of taste distortion right from the jump.

 

[OthatGuy]

I used to change wicks every time I changed juice but using rayon I get wicks to last 100ml and I usually don't change wicks it is very good at minimizing the overlap.

If I wanted a quick build on any of those attys, I would do them all the same:

24 gauge dual coils, 6 wraps around a multimeter probe (about 5/64). I usually do this as a sleeper build (one wire through the positive post and then wrap the coils right on the deck on either side), but that is not necessary... you can wrap two coils separately too. Center the coils before you tighten down the leads and get them close to the posts without touching. It clocks in at .21 ohm. I use ceramic tweezers to clean up the coils on the deck and get them tight and exactly where I want. The ceramics are great, because the coil moves like butter if you adjust it at the same time you are firing. Don't do this with metal tweezers though. The coils should be directly in front of the air holes, like if you put the barrel on and look through the hole, you should see a coil right there.

I put the cotton in the coils so it is pretty snug, but loose enough that I can pull on it and move it without jerking the coil. I cut the cotton close to the edge of the deck... there is not really a huge amount of cotton used. Then I tuck it down on either side, leaving the underneath of the coil open for airflow.

Thats it. My every day vape. Its a cool vape if you have a lot of airflow.... warmer if not. It chucks the vapor and the flavor, but isn't so extreme that you are redripping every other hit. Its easy to build and pretty much what I use in most RDAs for an all day vape.
