Thanks guys, that's kinda what I thought on the wrap count, not gonna work in my KFL...just to wide.

Nemesis Dominick..

Why is it you want such high ohms on a mech? It won't even light up.
You could easily do 7 wraps and fit it in your kayfun and get a great vape man

Edit: I wrap my coils 1/16 inner diameter, never done 1.5 or know how close they are too each other, but regardless, try a 1/16 micro of twisted 28

Phoenix V4 modded for bottom feed. Same as the ERA. My standard 2 twist 28, metering at .6 ohm.

After 2 months of flawless performance from the old 2 twist 28 coil, it gave up :( New coil for the phoenix on Reo, triple twist 28.

How much of a difference do you notice with a triple wrapped wire vs. A double (2 strands) VS. 3? I just put a double wrapped. 6 vert in a Genesis with a reducer (pulse atty) and I'm a big fan!

More surface area, deeper sub ohm, warmer vapor. Its as close to Mundys Magic you can get, without having to deal with ribbon.

I'm chasing for that perfect coil build for a kanger pro tank 2.. anyone help me on this journey

30 awg kanthal and peaches and cream yarn. Ohm readings and amount of yarn will be dependant on what you want from the PT and what device you're running it on.

Looks good.
For a first attempt, looks great.
There isn't an ironclad "if it doesn't look exactly the same" kind of thing.
Looks a little more open than what I do, maybe a hair more back wrap than my preference?
pdib & Xo your thoughts?
Main thing is it works and gives the characteristic flavor enhancement.
If you are getting the flavor enhancement other coils don't give you then you are doing good.
Vapor production isn't going to win any cloud contests with magic, just so you know.
(Although its no slouch either)

PS, try it in a dripper or bottom feeder micro coil size with cotton and you might find that gennie gets lonely. ;)

Thank you for the advice and when you say bottom feeder you talking about a protank? How do you make this coil smaller? Idk maybe I'm using the wrong size ribbon

^ when he says bottom feeder he's referring to a bottom fed mod such as a REO grand that delivers fresh squozen juice on demand thru the bottom of the bottom fed RBA by squeezing the onboard juice bottle.


Here's a few vids -

The kayfun types are considered to be bottom feeders as well. Reo if budget can stand it....kayfun clone if not.

Take a look at the length of the kayfun lite thread. 'Nuff said?

I'd consider the Kayfun a bottom coil tank, not bottom feeder. Bottom feeder and top feeder means a juice-on-demand system that you manually control the juice flow as needed; bottom feeders like the Reo and Vapage mod and top feeders like some add-on devices. Top coil and bottom coil describes the coil position in a tank device.

I may be wrong on that though, it's been known to happen lol.

If you have fairly short legs for the connection, 24 wraps should get you in the neighborhood, maybe a little above and you can unwrap what you need to for adjustment. That's just too long imo, I'd rather sick with 12 tight wraps of the single wire.

I used to wrap parallel wire wraps with 32 gauge, 8 wraps (16 coils) around a 1.5mm allen key. It performed really well. I'm using 28 gauge, 12 wraps, 1.5mm allen key, for ~1.2 ohms these days. Not really much difference that I can tell. I think the 28 may heat a wink or two faster. If the flavors any different, these tired old taste buds can't tell it.

24 wraps of twisted 28 gauge?

Try 8 wraps and go from there. Twisted 28 will give you higher resistance than single 28, not less.

Um... it may be slightly different in practice than in theory, but twisting the wire should give LESS resistance, for the same reason that a dual coil will give less resistance than a single coil.

It's not the same at all when you build a dual coil.

It's more like when you do more wraps on one side you get higher resistance. The same is true when you do larger wire you get higher resistance.

I.E. A 32 gauge 20 wraps will be lower resistance than a 28 gauge 20 wraps.


I build with twisted wire all the time.

You have this COMPLETELY backwards. Larger wire equals LESS resistance, and 32 gauge will give you much HIGHER resistance than 28...

You say you "build with twisted wire all the time".... you're the kind of person who risks blowing their face off because they haven't the slightest idea of what's going on.
