Plume Veil Coil builts anyone?

[cchen1031]

Hi guys!

I'm still a fairly new vaper, just started this October and never look back once at those nasty cancer sticks since!

Recently just got myself some sigelei 100w mod with a plume veil, jumping into the rda world.
But I had the guy at the store built me the coils.

Now that I want to begin trying to build my own.
I did some research and seems like 28 gauge is a popular choice for many.
But how wide is the diameter do I wrap around with though?
I heard drill bits. But which one would that be in particular?
A lot of the time people tell you the wire gauge, how many wraps, what kind of wraps, but didn't mention the diameter.

Does it matter at all? Is there a specific size people go with? Thanks!

Congratulations and welcome to the forum cchen1031. Glad to have you here!

28 gauge is very popular. Get yourself an ohm reader, it makes a good building base.

I'm very new to rebuildables myself but my general impression is 1/16 to 3/16 inches or around 2 to 4mm. I'm sure you'll get some better answers, but I think that's in the ballpark.

Thanks Susan!
I've checked out the steam engine. Since I'm still new at this, that thing is like looking at a formula to me xD

Does your scale base on some kind of tools?

You might find this thread useful. You'll notice that people get different results using the same wire and base, but they are close enough to give you an idea.

yes it matters you need to do some research before you build go to youtube and watch a few builds before you build your on ps I have a plume and I love mine

sorry about the spelling I meant to say (own)

Right now I have a centered build at .3 ohms. Its a fairly straightforward process, just requires practice. I'd recommend picking up a set of micro screwdrivers - they work well for wrapping coils and tightening leads. For higher builds I use the 2.4mm screwdriver, and 24 gauge kanthal. I like to get a little more cloud/flavor so I use 24 gauge. Definitely check out youtube videos etc. . . Or have the people at your local b&m show you how to get it done.

Using a 100w device you can do a ton of better builds to take advantage of the extra power. Think thicker wire, macro coil. More surface area is a good thing.

I would start somewhere in this formula.

22g single coil, 7 wraps on 9/64 mandrel. That should give you 0.6 ohms. I would run it up at about 70w. That 100w can really do alot.

I personlly like dual 28awg coils wrapped around a 2.5mm screwdriver. 10 wraps a piece. Clocks in at about .6. Ive been using this on a Zenith V2 and a Mutation X V2 with a 10amp/50watt Duke and it performs extremely well. My favorite build to date.

Greetings cchen1031 and Welcome to the ECF................................Enjoy.............................I use a 2mm drill bit for the builds on my Plume Veil and check them on my ohm meter before firing them up.......................

I could be mistaken. Could be a 2mm I use as well.
