Sexy coils! I'm debating getting some 20g G-plat for my Stillare V3/Cartel Boss (clone) combo. Enjoying 24g G-plat but noticed some oxidisation after 2 weeks use.. How many watts you firing at those coils dude?

Thanks!

0.08Ω ...so somewhere under 220w, this 20ga A1 feels just about right like this, although i know i'm gonna have to break out tthe 20ga nichrome soon :D.. just cant help myself *starts grabbing hold of Dark horse and 20g n* haha

My current "for fun" build when I want to chase some clouds:
3-strand twisted 29g kanthal, 7 wraps each on 2mm, final meter was .35, 100% VG, 0 nic..... Tons of fun!

so i tried 3/32 id 20ga nichrome and it looked like it would be a tight fit in the DarkHorse, i believe the MX is a nat's ball bigger so went with that but it wasnt good,
it came to 0.07Ω and the atty heats up way to much,
sat on the dimitri while test firing i would hear a *ping!* you know the noise when the wire is cooling down, but it isnt the wire, it was the MX's 510 pin expanding and contracting and in turn pushing the floating pin on mr dimitri away ...hahahaaa
i took a pic anyway so here it is but yeah alot of wire :D

Sorry, kinda got carried away with the wraps, 16-17. Wanted to achieve 0.1 ohms minimum, got 0.11,,,woo


Closed to confortable draw-small.jpg
Dripped my fav juice with it wide open, picked myself off the floor and shut it down to this - warm, restricted lung draw, flavor --- perfect

Driven by a Protovapor DNA 40, 410F 22.5 watts

About as basic as it gets. Big Stillare 28.5mm dripper on a Boss mod. FT clones. Surprised I even got good contact on the negative posts, as the screws are quite crappy. But it works! Wanted the 5 post version in this size but it was sold out. Meh, no biggie. Been dripping Virtue from Nirvana Vapor/V4Vape and it's deeee-licious! Spot-on macadamia nut sugar cookie!

Dreamy, creamy wicking work, love these pics! Bet it takes a while before you dry hit on that build too.. Busy taming the V3 right now and also using Boss. Any major maintenance on the button?

Yep, holds quite a bit of joose. Better flavor from this atty than my 26650-sized Tobh too. No issues at all with my Boss clone; button's a treat! :)
