Hey everyone I wanna see the cream of your crop, your favorite build that you created yourself, whether it gave you the best vapor or just think it's beautiful doesn't matter. I'm sure we can all get a few ideas from one another so lets do it.

*I'd have to say this coil I spent forever trying to get perfect is the one that gave me this idea in the first place, it's a super-duper nano-coil, as instead of the nano I wrapped thicker on thinner wire (28gauge on 30gauge) and what I got was a nano-beast that gave me epic 1 second hits, all that surface area made vapor shoot out both ends like a tea-kettle (it burned me good when I took these pics lol), a pretty magical moment in my vaping experience thus far (my ONLY gripe is it sucks juice like a Hoover so I have to keep it filled or it self-destructs lol, but I guess that's more of a pro).

Chipotle.
I'm a 26ga junkie, most of the time I'm building with some variation of twisted 26ga(my twisted 26ga usually comes out to ~2.1 ohms/foot). By far my favorite build is a "simple" set up, dual 3/4 wrap micro coils wrapped on a 1/16" drill bit. Twisted 26ga, two strands twisted counter clockwise then wrapped and torched heavily. Wicked with cotton using a method I like to call my "Slick Wick" which keeps most of the wick off the base of the deck for maximum airflow but allows me to drip a full 12 drops without any flooding.

Obligatory pictures of above mentioned setup. This came in at .29 ohms and the flavor is positively outstanding, vapor production is no slouch either.

Easily one of my most favorite builds to date, this will probably stay set up until the coils go bad.

Edit: I should mention, the atomizer pictured is an IGO-W and before anyone asks yes I did have to drill out the center post to a 1/16" size hole to fit two strands of twisted 26ga in there.

I wish I had a hole post setup, on my trident (shameful .....ty clone) half of one negative post broke because I tried to cram too much (3 28ga twisted), it's a "slit" style and they kinda suck, I haaate putting the cap back on everytime, feel like a gorilla doing surgery lol, definitely going to get an igo w-3 and a helios for build room and function (I listened to rip trippers and bought a trident first because he liked how it was a medium sized chamber, but you can't fit anything in there!)

-I like the setup that is pretty slick haha, I bet those thick coils will last you months if your careful that's why I've been meaning to get some thicker gauge, then again I do get bored quite a bit, I went through 50 ft of kanthal in my first month of building haha. I really like how you give importance to wicking, I see alot of people just cramming the deck full and thinking that's good but it makes ALL the difference with the right juice and airflow, I usually do single coil and put a wick through the coil, lightly under, then I have rolled-up cotton "strings" embedded in those to sip the juice from the other side of the deck. Nice build!
