Rolling the kanthal and mesh together

[adbakt]

An idea, but not the best application
2.3 ohm.. but why so much?

This is my humble project to roll the wire and the mesh together. Here in the picture at least 2/3 of the wire is inside of the mesh. So it heats with two sides. I am trying to make this > %90.

(To prevent short-circ. the mesh must be oxidized very well)

Anyone who tried this kind of coil.

* I added this pics also in another topic: Post pictures your workingwick coil setup

Interesting!

What gauge wire/ribbon? The additional ribbon/wire rolled with the mesh is probably what's giving you more Ω

Yes of course... I was trying to say "guess!", trying to say this is not a coil with two wraps as you see in the picture.

Hmmm...I can't think of any advantage to it.

With normal coil you see the kanthal getting red... if we see a side of the wire getting red then this side is useless, because this side doesnt touch the mesh. It heats only with other side. At least there is a lost.
But here two sides of the kanthal touchs and heats the mesh.

Hmmm...I can't think of any advantage to it.

If it stays wet, it should not glow.
Look at Spin E coils and cotton beds.

Have fun

Yes Izan, here also in the picture it is wet and it doesnt glow, even the part of the kanthal we see, doesnt glow.
I said it only to explain the logic. I ll check the Spin E coils, thanks.

,Yes I have checked the Spin E Coils, thank you; I think it is the similar effort to use more of the heat; this could be a similar application with mesh.
As I am a beginner the application is not so succesful, but I think if an experienced user tries it it will worth.

Forget about it, it will not work to any advantage. The coil needs air to vaporise the juice, now you will just cook the juice on the inside of the wick.

May be you are right. Just trying, playing... I will try different wraps today and test it.
I am thinking on airflow, it could be a disadvantage, but I assume that I can vape the same ohm with higher wattage w/o having burn taste. Of course, if it could produce more vapor with higher wattage.

If it's set up properly the wick on a genny will never glow until the tank is dry anyway.
