Ok everyone....finally took the time to try out a dual wick in my SG3! Trying it out with 325 mesh though.
Couldn't get the kanthal to wrap tightly around the silver wire, so I cut one of the wires off of a CE2 and twisted it together between
the two coils. Still trying to break it in. ProVari says its 3.0ohms....not sure what it would really be. At 5v, its putting out decent flavor...but no where near as much vapor as I was expecting. I'll post my thoughts in a couple of days.

I also use 32 Kanthal A1 but only on stainless steel wicks, ss does not wet the coil as much and you have to leave the legs of the coil a little longer so you don't short between the posts. The positive leg of the coil 0n 6v tends to pop if it gets dry. I really don't mind as I can change a coil in minutes and the health advantage of ss over fiberglass or silica is worth the effort.
I use a bulli A2 with horizontal wick, looking forward to the G-tank with a vertical wick.

Right Dan....this set up is in series. The next one I will try in parallel. I just set it up the way I saw the dual coil cartos wired up. Would probably have been easier to put together in parallel.
lol well the DC cartos are in parallel so if ya did it right so would your genesis be...not nit-picking just think it might work better that way...good luck w your experimentation...may you find your perfect vape sir riddle...

Bear in mind that in series, voltage is split. 6ohms in series, means 2x 3ohm coils. Now, with voltage split, even at 6v you would only be giving 3v to each coil. A 3ohm coil @3v isn't going to offer much.
UA72Riddle,
The Silver Wire link in the first post is dead. I believe that it's changed to this;
.999 Fine Silver 18 Gauge Round Dead Soft Wire

Ok, hopefully most will understand why I am starting this thread. I wanted to see a thread that could focus on the building and technical parts of Scubatdan's mods. I didn't want to see it get lost iN a CO-OP thread and Wanted to make it easier to find in a search.

Silver Wire
Thanks for mentioning it....I'll see if the mods can fix it for us.
@ Dalton....on the Provari it registers as 3ohm.....so I guess each coil is around 1.5 ohm. I'm trying to set it up in parallel, but the extra wire glows because of the distance in between the post. I just had too much extra...going to try it again.
I finally got the time to work on my ScubaGenV3 and I finished it! It came out really well! Of course I had lots of coaching and tips from our very own PKZap27, Paul. I think its beautiful...what do you think?
All I gotta do now is the wick & coil...lol.."all I have to do" hahaha! I'm a ton closer to vaping this beauty! I REALLY hope its worth all this effort!!

Excellent!!!
Check out my video on making the wick, to get a good vape the first time you need to pre-season the wick well to ensure no shorting.

Just wow guys, I didn't even see all the pages but all these reconstructed atty tank projects have inspired me to make a design. Only if I had access to a lathe.... hmmm...
That's the first time I have seen that video....gonna have to try it that way next time.

i hope one is coming soon.. i was able to snag a v3 i love it! but im a bottom feeder.....
the bf is going to be a must have!
Right now we're all trying to make sure Dan doesn't take an out-of-pocket loss on the US G-tank atty co-op because that's just totally unacceptable.
I'm so in for a couple BFGs!
