They are awesome. Instant on with a lot of vapor and flavor. I wicked through them with cotton and under and around. You have be a bit more careful as it needs good wicking to avoid dry hits but so far it's been great.:thumbup: I was trying for more surface area with no lag and I don't think I can successfully go any smaller but I'm sure I'll try Lol.

I'll get some more milage out of some old photos..........from the Steam E-Cigs RDA competition here in Australia

"Dual Double Helix Nano Dragon Coils!".........what the?

2 strands of 30G Kanthal.....20 wraps on a 1.3mm jewelers screwdriver in an IGO-W, came in at 1.4ohms, which makes my dual build at 0.6ohms!.........

Next I wrapped the coils in 2mm Silica......Four wraps each on the outside of the coils & the ends tucked in......

Here's another old build that has been working extremely well for me in my Kayfuns (clones)

I am using Tarks wick this time but I have built this with Bamboozle several times and it works well.



1 and 2. Vertical Nano Dragon Coil : 8 wraps of 28G : 1.3mm : 0.8 Ohms

3. Pass a length of Tarks wick underneath the top leg, between the coil and post

4 and 5. Tie it in a knot

6. Wrap both the ends round again so the bare side of top leg is covered

7. Trim ends

8. And tuck them in.............

I topped this off with Mount Baker Bloo Moo 24mg 100% VG and it nearly took my head off, seriously the hardest hit I have ever had! I cannot take more than 3 or 4 1 second puffs on this before I am sweating, coughing & dizzy!

Here's another vertical build in my Fogger. I found the nano coil tends to spit too much and sometimes I get juice in my mouth so...........

I did 5 wraps of 28g with 2mm diameter, came out a 0.9 Ohms. Mounted vertically with my standard cotton wicking (the only thing I can get to work in the Fogger)



A good vape like the Nano Dragon but no spitting................Win!

Aqua (clone)

I thought about Twin Vertical Dragons..........I thought about Twin Diamonds..........Finally went with something a bit more "Standard" for the first run!

2 x 1.3mm Micro Coils 28g 12Wraps each 1.0 Ohms Tarks wick..............



I tucked all 4 wicks in the channel, and cut them all outside the chimney. Vapes great.......on par with the Kayfun with Dragon. However I do have to keep the juice control fully closed and the airflow fully open or it floods...........

Double Barrel coils on my Kayfun Clone - As per RipTrippers video

2 x 10 wraps 30G in juice bottle blunt needles (20G I think? definitely smaller than 1mm)

I used 30G instead of 28G to try to keep the ohms up - didn't work 0.5ohms! - No good for my DNA



This coil & the Diamond Coil are the best performing coils I have made in the KF, excellent vapour and flavour, I think this one just comes out on top!

Trying out my Clear Tank Kit from Fasttech so I had to give this a go before wicking -



The photos are pretty bad as I was in a hurry - didn't want to melt my tank!

This is interesting, because I hated this atomizer since day one. It just doesn't perform as well for me as intended because of the online hype. I'm going to give this a try, clever. Maybe it shall bring new life. I'd really like to enjoy it.

The Double Barrel coil outperforms this by a long way though.......
