Its sad to think 2 years is old for a phone but that's technology now days.But the actual pictures are taken by an old iPhone 5
My 2 month old mod is outdated.
Fused clapton coil 5 wraps using 26 gauge for the inner wire and 29 gauge for the outer. Came out to ~.32 ohms. It Vapes nice in my dark horse rda using KGD Japanese cotton.
first rda ever was a mini squid clone i got in a gas station of all places.
couldn't believe the flavor....over a year later it's rdas or nothing for me.

Just thought I would share this post and thread from a few short years ago to put in perspective how far things have come. Really amazing to me the progression these guys made.
True but the main problem with cartos is when they begin to dry up and people keep using them they get so hot they melt the batting material. I have pulled enough apart to see that the batting is a giant black hole next to the coil. I do understand the carbonizing, that is where burn offs help, but with a carto you will melt the batting material, unless it is made of fire wick
Exibit A:
A step by step on making a carto from scratch out of a pill fob.
First drill 1/4" holes in both the top and bottom as such:
Now you can insert you choice of blank cart in the top one:
Next measure out your 36ga nichrome, solder the ends, and take 4 strands of silica fire wick and wrap your coil, I use a needle and medical clamps to hold it.
Now get an old carto connector and solder the ends to it, then push on a silicon tube and leave 1/8" clearance from the coil. In this picture I wrapped the coil with silica wick as a test to see if it keeps the batting from melting.
Insert new coil assembly into the bottom of the pill fob and press connector into place.
I used an old 801 atty to sheild the coil assy from the batting I was inserting:
Now I actually used silica fire wick material to see how this hols up, it is the loose strand kind, defeated the purpose of wraping the coil (I Know
Trim:
And tuck the remainder in:
Now remove the 801 atty and lightly position the surrounding material down and close to the coil assy:
Fill.... (This held 5ml of liquid!) and put the top on:
Connect the battery:
Vape your heart out!
Well I hope this inspires some folks to try somthing different. Will report back on the taste of this, and how the silica material holds up.

Its crazy to see how far vaping has come.
I just did a build on my new mutation x v2 and just kicked my own .... with how hard this is hitting. I've got a but of a nic buzz going right now.

My second build ever! Each coil is 28ga A1 Kanthal wrapped 11 times around around a 2mm jig post. Not a sleeper build. Each coil comes out to about 1.4 ohms, bringing this build down to ~0.7 ohms. Still takes a bit to heat, but not nearly as long as that quad beast I posted earlier. This build is on my asMODus 30mm rda.
On the test I did when I was curious here is what I found.
Did a single coil setup regular and twisted.
Regular 28g kanthol 10 wraps on 1mm ID was right at 1 ohm
Twisted 28g kanthol 13 wraps on 1mm ID was right at 1 ohm
Also depending on how tightly the wire is twisted makes a difference as well.
Same resistance, twice the wire to carry it in paralell.
I know that I can wrap twisted 29 gauge wire (twisted) with the same number or wraps as 26 straight, and match the ohms.
The benifit I see is, the twisted heats and cools faster.
