Single Coil vs Dual Coil vs Quad Coil

[Minzy]

Got a new rda, the Mephisto. Decided to put this Helix coil in. 2 strands of 26g twisted, with 2 strands of 30g in between the grooves of the twisted 26g. so 4 strands altogether. 5 wraps around 3mm drill bit, 0.4ohms. great flavour, great vapour. Doesn't take long to heat up too. Probably my current favorite coil.

Anyone knows where I can get kanthal wires in singapore? Visited several hardware shops my area...They don't have it or they don't know what it is... I'm looking for 24,26,28 gauge...

You wont get it anywhere in there afaik.

 

[Currynoah]

would you use a thinner gauge wire for 3 ohm coil @ 12w? so you can heat up faster?

Sorry bro. Just logged in today and just read your post. To answer your question: Like I said in earlier post, It's a matter of versatility. I work with what I have.

The difference in fire timing for me, is negligible. I just wanna slap on a coil + wick, test fire, drip, vape and go do my daily activities.

Sorry the answer came 3 months late.

Just sharing...first time trying the zipper coil build...at 0.2ohms....i am still quite new to this...comments will be greatly appreciated...

@zeef Looks great! well done Bro.

Looks really good. Havent tried it out personally. Been using helix coils and sleeper coils mostly.

Thanks guys! Looking to try the helix and clapton coil next.... before moving on to the more advance coils... been following coil porn too much... hahahaha

question, what is so special about Artic, the coils is Bottom Turbine Dual Coil.

WOOHOO! 1st successful fused clapton!

That looks legit! Tried once and failed.. Lazy to try again leowzz

normal Kanthal a1. 2 strands of 26g for the core, and 30g wrapped around them.

Man, the Clapton looks wonderful. I've been spending the pass hour getting my single coil build right, finally found that a vertical coil on my derringer works best running at 0.7 ohms.

How's the Clapton?, looks really difficult.

indeed, claptons aren't easy to make. and is very time consuming. performance wise, i'm kinda on the fence. It has great flavour and vapour production, but the ramp up time is extremely long. maybe i shouldn't have wrapped a 3mm macro coil, or maybe i should have used lower resistance core with a higher resistance wrap. i dunno. gotta do more testing i guess. but its such a pain to build..... urgh... great flavour and vapour, but is it worth the effort? i still dunno.

Use Nichome wire?

i could try that too. lol
