THIS THING TAKES NAMES!
Seriously it's not a novelty coil, and it's been charged with
statutory vape.
Hey all, I tried the "Inception coil" a while back expecting an interesting vape, was a little disappointed that it wasn't at all, just another "novelty coil". So I had the idea to try and make the "outer coil-inner coil" system work.
There were three things wrong with the "Inception Coil" in my experience:
1. It didn't produce alot of vapor, and took way too long to heat up.
2. It didn't heat up *evenly*.
3. It wasn't worth the hard effort of building, wicking, and the ohms were a little high (for my tastes) due to the one long piece of kanthal design.
So I decided to try and fix all these problems, while keeping the same
"coil inside another" idea, because I thought this was the coolest idea, basically
squeezing vapor between two hot coils. I came up with a kind of
"best of both worlds coil", where I would take my favorite
vapor producing coil the super-nano, and surround it with my favorite
flavor coil; a 5/64th's" macro-coil that's slightly gapped between the wraps. I used
24ga wire, to keep the ohms low,
also to make them two separate coils, and twist the connection legs together to make it a paralell build.
So I was hoping that this would keep the ohm's low, produce vapor fast, while still making great flavor. And it couldn't have been more on the money! It's just like vaping these two coils if I had them separate in dual coil mode, but even better! Better because it heats up in an instant, and has flavor that super-nano's just can't come close to making, the vapor is incredibly dense, and it uses juice really efficiently too. When I check it visually when I sense it getting dry, it's usually used up all the juice available, the best part is though: it produces gobs of vapor, while
not being sensitive to dry hits. I don't know if it's because of the sandwiching, or two coils pulling juice at the same time, but it's a bullet-proof setup! Easily one of the best single coils I've ever tried (I haven't tried too many other than the standard nano, micro, macro etc., and not as of lately so take that with a grain of salt.
), and it performs comparably to any dual coil as well.
If anybody wants to know, I basically just:
Wrapped a super-nano (24ga),
a macro 5/64th's on a similar size screw (24ga as well),
equalized the ohm's so both coils were the same ohm'age, bent the legs on the super-nano to
fit the coil inside the other,
adjusted the coils to line up perfect and held the inner coil steady with wedged cotton while I
twisted the coil legs together. Adjusted the coils to glow proper,
wicked 3 cotton strands between the Inner coil & Outer coil (sandwiched), and tucked some light cotton under the beauty. It came out to
0.3ohms, and vaped like a beast, a flavorful beast; so much so that I had to stop using a sweet juice because it was too rich.
Here's some pics I took during the build:
<---Ended up using the 24ga on top.
<---Heatin' perfect saaan!
<---Pic really doesn't do it justice, it blasts vapor in 3 directions, from both sides of the super-nano openings, and from
the front, out of the spaced 5/64th's" coil face.
When I first vaped it I thought it was going to be like any other "silly" novelty coil, and not really work well. But I couldn't have been more wrong, it's a darn excellent vape! It's not as hard as you may think to build either, certainly more easy than the "Inception coil", but 5x more worth it for sure. I'll definitely be building this in the future again, possibly TWO of these bad boys, I know that would kick some major rear end.
Hope someone enjoyed this, and if you like "single" coils,
definitely give this bad boy a shot! Vape onward y'all.
(I took a quick video of this coil performing too if anyone wants to see, I'm just having some technical issue's trying to convert it!)
