Oh yeah I knew I forgot something. It's a jewelers screwdriver almost identical to 3/32 drill bit, just a hair bigger.

So i got bored tonight and decided to rip apart my 3D coils and try something new. I decided to give twisted kanthal a try (I tried it only once before on my KFL)
So this build took me about 30 mins! That center post just kept on moving and moving every time i went to tighten down the leads and it just kept turning/spinning the post and messing up my coils.. I finally got it secured and it messed up my coils a little but nothing major.
All i can say is WOW! lol i had no clue what resistance i would be getting, I went with twisted 28g, 7wraps around a blunt tip needle. 0.37ohms! WOW! I can only take like 2 second puffs before i need to stop, lol. I think next time i will add a few more wraps. The flavor/vape is insane with this build but its just way to IN YOUR FACE for me. Figured i would share it before i ripped it apart. I am going to vape whats in the tank then when it runs dry start a new one.

For you cloud chasers. Quad 26ga parallel with two pieces of wire 3/32 inside diameter "tweenpost" build. This originally had 3 parallel wires but came out way too low. I started by running both wires in the center posts. Attached two drill bits on each side of the posts. Ran the wire in "between" the posts routing it to the outsides of the negative posts into the the holes. These all use the post holes so you can clamp the wires and have it very strong without worrying about them moving around. The outer most wires do not short out because there is a stronger connection to the negative/circuit inside the post holes which the current will always take. Just make sure to pre torch the wires before building and pulse when test firing. If anyone needs help with this just hmu. But I do love this build. You can wick it two ways as shown on the top and bottom center of the picture. Don't miss out on the firing vid of this beast tommorrow. I will put it together tonight. Thanks for checking it out guys. <3

Def on par brotha. Tons of people tagging me on IG and FB have been making these already. Good feedback with minimal adjustments! One guys did twisted but did not come out good.
And no worries about touching posts with this build? May be trying it tonight or this weekend. And how much cotton were you using? First time not doing a micro and I've gotten good at the request get amount for that

No worries there as long as you pre torch the wires and have a solid connection inside the post holes. The current will always pick the strongest/shortest path.
Let me grab the link for the vid real quick brotha!
FIRE VID UP!
Firing clip of the "tweenpost" build. I've gotten tons of tags on IG and FB on people that had already built this. Thanks for trying it out. Keep In mind on some that I have seen done today try and keep the I.D (inside diameter) using a 3/32 bit. Not only will it have tons of clearance for the cap but I found it works alot better and you won't get hotspots. If you make it tall you will have to stuff too much cotton just to prevent hotspots and it wont burn well. I also saw some people doing twisted tweenpost. Just keep that diameter small for it to function properly. I would stick to untwisted to maximize wick and surface area contact. Anyway enjoy! Some of my followers are going to hate me but today go Sharks! & tomorrow go Giants! Lol

Looks dope. Can't wait to try. Any attempt with 28g? That's all I have till I order more wire

Not trying to kill myself...
7 wraps of quad-twisted 26 gauge A1 over a 3/32" bit, stuffed on to an IGO-L...
0.3Ω, looking for 50 watts for ....s n grins.
edit: Holy balls! Two pulls on this SOB with 6% and my head's in the friggen clouds.... Wow.

My cotton was getting a little rowdy today so I had to build a fence around it 
.83 ohm with 26g Kanthal. Actually vapes pretty decent, the vape is a bit cool, throat hit is a bit amplified, but vapor production is good and flavor is great. A normal coil would outperform it, but not bad for a novelty build.

I like that alot. Does it go all the way around, or is it 180 degrees with the cotton between the coi... err.. fence and the terminals?

That should work well. It's called option coils by Edwin gm!
It's nearly a complete circle, but there is a small gap at the back between the posts.
