I'm still new to rebuilding and tried a 2-wire coil (28 gauge) with 5 wraps, registering 0.6 ohms.

I drilled out the post holes and installed Fat Daddy's knurled screws. I had a dual coil (0.7 ohms) and feel like this build produces more vapor.

I've been waiting to see that diamond is that g-plat?

no man, just regular old A1 kanthal :) i have some 22, 24 & 26g G-plat here also but unless you are going below .2Ω its not worth getting, i tried a good few dif coil setups and atty's but tbh i didnt like gplat, i must have super sensitive taste buds or something, i get a funny taste from it, same thing with certain ribbons i get a metallic taste.... if it makes a difference i got the red Gplat in all 3, the cotton that came with them was good and spongey though, its what im using in all my latest builds :)

I'm still learning the lingo as I build, but I was experimenting with my iAtty setup and after getting a dry hit, I added more cotton around the post to wick better and left out the screw for the juice hole. It seems to be working well...when I chain vape this, I take my drag with the PV at an angle to allow the juice to soak the cotton. I also drilled out a 7/64 airhole.

am 105% certain Tbev knows that, and was responding to the post by FlexJuice
My bad lol these huge threads get confusing some times.

hum, over .5 i think, next time i will half the ohms it's ok but im used to warmer.

but! i did make this one on the atomic below, dual 24g 8 wrap, 3/32id @ .28Ω ..


this one is a keeper :)
Nice how's the flavor and vapor on that 24g?
And you can fix that 28g one by making a twin so she don't get lonely lol

6-wraps of 22ga Gplat which comes out to .16 Ohms. I normally don't vape this low, but I just got the Mephisto in and figured I'd put these big post holes to work!

Now I don't know if this is a function of the Mephisto or the Gplat (I am new to both), but I'm getting AWESOME flavor down here at .16!! And the clouds certainly don't disappoint!!

Definitely put those large post holes to work JP! Never tried Gplat wire, tried some of the Hotwires a while back and have been looking into royal wires as well. Its just hard to validate the price point for such a little amount of wire!

Does anyone know if there is a source for that cotton they give in the G-Plat bags, i'm getting a Taste for it, its real fluffy, almost sponge like. less prone to collapse .

Lol I've been looking in to their cotton to it's super fluffy and easy to work with I even emailed them but they never got back to me pretty disappointing if you find out lmk
