Post pictures of your working wick and coil setup

[etherealink]

This is NOT the "Tinman" build. The "Tinman" is when you have several layers of flat ribbon overlapping each-other. In my build, I use a single layer of ribbon NOT overlapping. In fact, I'd like to space out my flat ribbon coils, if I have enough room for it.
And the whole idea is to cover more surface area of the wick with the least amount of battery energy wasted in doing so. For example: 0.1mm X 0.8mm Flat Ribbon Kanthal wire covers about the same surface area of the wick as 24 Gauge or even 22 Gauge round wire. But it only takes a little fraction of the power to make it glow comparing to the amount of power needed to make 24 or 22 Gauge glow. Another word: 0.8mm ribbon covers the area of 22 Gauge but uses energy only like 28 Gauge wire. That Aqua (above) uses 0.6mm Ribbon. It's like using a 30 Gauge round wire. One fully charged VTC5 battery lasts pretty much most of the day and I get the performance of a 26 Gauge wire out of it. Being thinner, it lights up faster, it cools down quicker, yet it covers the same wick area as 26 Gauge wire.
That's the whole theory in this build. Nothing magic. Pure math over the Ohm's Law.

Actually, that's exactly the idea I had... maximise area with minimal battery draw.

The tin man was just the first similar build on my mind...

Very nice, Brother.

Do touching wraps of ribbon wire change that vapor produced compared with similar surface area in other builds? Do "touching wraps" of ribbon change compared to round wire?

And don't get me wrong, I understand this was no TinMan or attempt at it. Thanks for the clarification, AMD.

I wasn't trying to offend you in any way. I was just trying to clarify that "Tin Man" is a different build then mine. Forgive me if it came through the wrong way.

I'm not sure I understand what you meant by: "Touching wraps"?

If you were talking about "Micro coils" where the wraps are close together?

You see, they are NOT really touching each-other. If they did - It would have been a "Short Circuit" and the coil would not work.

In reality, there is a tiny little space between each wrap of a coil that allows for Vapor to come through.

Same thing with round wire or flat ribbon.

No offense at all, I was just trying to clarify my idea.

Prior testing by someone with experience is great. Especially with build experience, so you suggest minor gaps with ribbon wire? As opposed to a solid wrap?

I left my feelings at the door...

Yes.

IMO. Spaced out ribbon coils seem to produce more dense vapor for me.

That's quads, have you tried it just as duals?

Edit: what inner diameter? That gives me an idea for a build... Plume Veil?

Each side is 2 coils in series, so it's really a dual 12-wrap...

Are you soldering round wire to the ends of your flat wire?

You mean Welding?

Yes I am.

Got me a clone Panzer from FT, Brass with Copper contacts, sporting a plume veil dual 24g 1/8th id.
This setup hits so dam hard i had to add an extra 2 wraps to each coil, its a beast. i normally have to do 4 wraps to get it to hit hard on the reo.
i replaced the plumeveil topcap with a tobh's topcap so i could use my cherryvape DT oh yeah
the panzers threads and firebutton are so smooth & neither of the plumeveil centre posts spin feely on their own.

Simple build for my Cloud Chaser

Dual 26G coils, 6 wraps over 3mm bit = 0.45ohm

Coil close ups:

0.45 Ohms

test firing

Rayon pulled thru

Rayon trimmed and tucked

Clouds galore

Mounted on a custom drilled TOBH top cap:

Im rotflmao at the comments that's some funny shiz if you keep reading. Vera Wang cotton wick 12500$maxi pads with flavor wings good stuff in there haha

@ The Kiwi,
I've got to get me that lens for my IPhone 5. Those Macro images of yours are awesome!

Here, I decided to rebuild my little Aqua Tank.
Still not a bad vape, only little...

How come you're running an Aqua on an Origin with the 510 connection rather than the hybrid threads?

 

[bdBONE7018]

Great looking build I was just checking these out today thinking about ordering. Would be my first rda in my collection. ...

i always had a metal taste from the GPlat, im glad i didnt carry on vaping it

I never went in for it, always seemed fishy. But at least now people who like it know they can get it at at 0.00001th the price
