An experiment I did just now

Came out to 1.2 ohms. I bet it would be beastly on a 100+ watt mod, but all I have is a 30 watt, an istick, and some mechs, so I ended up scraping it.

Edit: Yes, that's two stovetop coils on one wire.... Was a challenge to coil :p

Sent with one hand, the other is busy vaping.

Great Job!!
Now that I acknowledged your finesse with wire, I got to call it as I see it.
SHOW OFF!! LMAO. Just cause you know I could not wrap a stovetop to save my life.

My experiment with twisted wire, twisted 26 and 30 gauge 7 wrap at .83 ohm with iteo wicking.

I know it's a sloppy job but man man what a fog machine, I'm happy with it because i can blow huge clouds and use small battery with long battery life because of the coil resistance[emoji1]

As we have alllearned, it is not about the looks, it is how it performs.

Don't sell your coil building short, that parallel coil looks pretty darn good to me! I'm betting it vapes like a champ.

To be honest it's hitting like a runaway train lol only problem now is I am starting to worry about battery safety I didn't really mean to go to 0.5 (just checked it as I couldn't remember lol)

It's on a magma sitting on a nemesis running a purple efest 18650 2100 mah 30amp battery pretty sure it's fine as I have had no issues but no matter how much I read ohms law and research it my mind doesn't really understand and that worries me a little

Sounds perfectly fine to me. At 4.2v, a 0.5ohm build only pulls 8.4A from the battery.

Looks better than the first half dozen or so that I did when I first started.
