I heard you like surface area?

I was really surprised this one worked actually :p, kicks some serious behind too. At .5ohms, and with a fresh vtc4 I had my brothers girlfriend coughing up a storm :lol:. Yeah I felt bad, but it's also a sign of accomplishment to me. I haven't had a single coil turn my bedroom into woodstock in a while.

~I wrapped a perfect 28ga super-nano coil, and it was so perfect I figured I'd just keep going until I messed up, and I made it pretty long before I hit a snag. Ended up with about 1.5 inches of pure good-lookin super-nano, so I wrapped aformentioned super-nano into a clapton coil. :D It was wrapped around a 1.32" drill bit. It's the tiniest clapton you've ever seen! Isn't it cute?






It glows sooo even too, from the inside out baby!

Spittin! That is one purdy coil iTeo, it's not easy to make macro-coils that perfect.

Try the 26 Nichrome wire. It kicks fast. Much better resistance to mass ratio than Kanthal. Its resistance is equivalent to 25 Kanthal; but it's thinner.

I recently got my Nichrome in the mail, it's good stuff! I ordered 24ga nichrome, and it's a mean, angry wire. It's the tamed beast I'd been looking for.

so the single coil above is 22? I like the looks of it and ready to switch my gauge. I've pretty much maxed what I can do with 28 ha

Try a small sample of 24ga first, I've found for me personally that 22ga is awesome (so is 24), I'm starting to thing the thicker the better. But it may be different for others, allows more coil & less ohms (a good thang :p). I'm really digging 24ga nichrome, it's a HELLACIOUS vape!

0.7 build on a Kayfun

It's a parallel coil, with:
  • one twisted coil, made with a simple 32g and a 3-strand-braided 36g
  • one coil simple 30g

Is a build I just made to replace a 0.5 parallel made of two twisted 32 gauge strands, which was just a little too much in the Fun, to where the heat was detracting from the flavor.

I think I've kinda settled on 0.6-0.7 for Kayfuns

Got some real optics stuff going on. :D

Edit:forgot the quote :facepalm:

ok, then let me ask you this: what's up with all the little white parallelograms between your wraps? Is the welding rod welding little white parallelograms into you juice? Is there some electronico-circuitudinal advantage to this? Something we should try, maybe? :|
