Post dem parallel's!

[treehead]

If I had the whim to rip apart my russian 91 I would show yall my twisted 32g parallel coil man oh man is the flavor bangin. the vapor is good for what can be expected of a kayfun style. it really brings out my adv which is black honey tobacco, DIY of course. parallel coils have become my favorite build due to ease of build and performance when put next to standard micros. its all the fun of dual coils but in a single coil woohoo.

Interesting a twisted 32ga parallel? Do you mean two strands of twisted 32ga running next to eachother? Or a single twisted 32ga? Sounds good either way!

She isn't all that pretty but she heats up without any hot legs and glows from the center out. 28g kanthal a1 0.89 ohms wound on a 2mm rod 6/7 or 12/14 depending on how you look at it.

I torch and pull my wire to get the kanthal nice and straight after folding the length in half. This helps by making the wire soft and more malleable. I form a J at the negative end (where I folded the wire) and wind up from there.

This atty has a broken tank so it isn't going to get wicked, though it would obviously run fine.

Right on, I've been looking into getting a vertical coil atty like the origen v2, but I can't find one with big enough airflow (or one I can drill). Nice parallel though, that's not easy with 28ga and so many wraps especially.

for sure kind of a thread jack by here we go
I do 80%VG 20%distilled water and at a 5% flavoring of TFA's Black honey Tobacco, it has a long steep time so I mix it in huge batches but it has such a light and subtle honey flavor I can't get enough of it.

HEY! I'm king of this thread! PARALLEL'S ONLY!

28g - 2 x 8 wrap - 0.5 ohm approx

Nice, can almost see my reflection, how does it vape in a squonker?

Parallel Clapton, 32 on 28 a1. Ohms out to 0.32 so I'm not going to run a second coil (as if another would fit in the positive post).

It vapes like a flame thrower...LOL.

Edit: I am not saying a Clapton coil can't be done 32 on 32 but I will say I couldn't make it happen today.

Maurice

Impressive , I'm surprised nobody liked that. Very nice, as long as everything's touching it should be a true parallel too. That's one problem I've always had with claptons is I couldn't get this to heat up fast, but paralleling them is a good idea.

 

[treehead]

Parallel inception coil anyone???

Maurice

Actually works phenomenally, best single coil I've had in a while .

MY SONY 26650 50 AMP VT FINALLY CAME IN! Whoo! I was determined to see what it could do with my first build on the mutant, with the brass monkee, and I'm not dissapointed. I basically took my favorite build and paralleled it:


24ga parallel, dual nano-coils wrapped on a micro-screwdriver of (slightly smaller than) 1/16th"), and wicked with some fancy shmancy japanese Shiseido cotton (my girlfriend uses it for her make-up, and I'm using more than her now lol).


It's really warm, and really dense with the stock airflow, I'm thinking I'll be drilling the three air-holes into one big cyclops. I can't say I don't like it though. I've never had a build that was what I consider truly warm until this one, and it's 0.1 ohms, that's probably why (don't worry I have an extra 8 amps to go for even continuous rating, don't wanna hear it.). Double the surface area of my favorite build is nice too, I haven't had any dry hits sneak up on me, it's a really hearty and full vape, I'm really loving it, this one will stay in the chamber for a while, I'm afraid to even breathe on it it's so perfect (for what I like). (have you guys ever had those builds that you just couldn't take out for a while? you drop it on the ground and your heart skips a beat because it might be crushed?)

I don't think I've ever built such perfect parallel's before either, besides the connections, it looks like a regular'ol 8 wrap.

This build is so ......'off, had to take the pic like 1 second after firing because without airflow, it gets too hot and burns away all the juice.

Lol looks like an actual rain cloud near the top with the computer screen behind it.




I figured since I'll be messing around with a 50amp limit from now on, I'd better invest in an ohm meter. For a while now I've been so used to the VTC4 30amps, I've just been building by feel, hopefully the ohm meter is nearly here. I can't believe I'm excited about an ohm meter, no more fiddling and subtracting with a multimeter!


Cheers!

Thank you, I was thinking I actually could do a Parallel Clapton Sleeper coil on this one, if I can get 32 on 32 there might even be a reasonable number of coils, or 32 on 28 and long legs with a center shift.

It vapes really nice even as a single coil, I wasn't expecting very much out of it but it blows away my dual 28 on .511mm mandrel build.

I will say the Clapton coil is a solid design, not simple, but it works.

I twisted 32ga (2) then took two stands of that twisted 32ga and made a parallel, like 2mm 6wraps, something like that, it ohm'ed out @ like 1.7 it something, never mounted it BC I didn't make enough for 2 coils. Looks good tho...

Making the coil itself wasn't difficult, trapping the legs on screws without slotted washers is the challenge.

I'd like to try a NR-R-NR parallel, that'll be a new one for me as I've never done the NR-R-NR thing. The idea is mainly to ease trapping the leads.

I really like twisted 32, I may just try a twisted 32 on 28 Clapton Parallel, that'll be a single coil build I'm sure.

Edit: yeah that's a fail idea, can't get a uniform wire built for the life of me.

In other news I'm getting better at building 32 on 32 Clapton wire in lengths good enough to make a parallel coil. We shall see if I can get a few more lengths done and build something.

How in the holy livin' hell are you gettin' your 91% to wick with a parallel coil? I've built single and dual microcoils from 3/64 through 5/64, and from 0.9Ω to 1.1Ω, no wicking issues whatsoever. Use the same style wicking (fold the cotton up after pullin' it through the coil, put on the chimney, cut it semi-close to the top, fold it gently back down from the outside in, juice 'n' test, close up and fill) in a 30 ga., 0.9Ω, 1/16" parallel coil and boom, dry hits, no matter how loose or tight I get the damn airflow, unless I'm vapin' down at 16W or 17W, which is rather unsatisfying compared to a dual micro at the same ohms... Could I just have that one 91% that needs to have its juice channels ground out, or do you have a different than "normal" wick setup?

-Laters...!

Probably my favorite build so far. Surprisingly easy on juice.

 

[Tbev]

It's been a pretty unanimously agreed upon, and I can tell you from experience that rayon will wick better in every aspect than cotton. If you can't keep up wicking parallels in a kf, you might be able to do it with rayon. Everything I use rayon in I have dropped at least a few tenths on my coils and have been able to put more power to without dry hits. Give it a shot. Check out the rayon thread, it's good stuff!

^^^^^please tell the resistance of this tri parallel

 

[Chew Magna]

Wish I could, all I have is my VV V3 to measure with and it won't give me any reading on any build with my IGO-W. Pretty dang annoying. My local shop says they have some ohm readers coming so I'll get one eventually.

It is 28g so it won't be crazy low or anything.

I will tell you that it's a really nice coil. I expected a warm/hot vape off of it but it's actually pretty cool. Nice flavor and of course really dense vapor.

 

[Tbev]

Here's my favorite genny: pulse with reducer single parallel @0.65ohm, wicked w rayon.

Needs a little squeeze...

 

[treehead]

^^^^^please tell the resistance of this tri parallel

My guess is somewhere around 0.4ohms, maybe even lower.

Nice coil by the way Magma, I KNOW that wasn't easy to get that in there tight and even lol.

 

[Froth]

Triple parallel duals, 7 wraps of 26ga around a 1.5mm steel dowel, 0.14 ohms.

heats up very fast for the amount of wire in there, very happy with the performance.
