Oh wow so last week I got my rose v2 clone and put a few coils in it tasted ok, well I asked someone if the could show me a build for my mvp 2.0 and they did the same thing I was doing well there was one difference they were using a 5/64 bit and I finally looked up what I was using it was a smaller drill bit. So I got a 5/64 and wow the difference it makes for flavor , vapor and wicking just wow .

Aye aye! Long live the fat (preferably sub-ohm) coil!

And you don't always need low ohm. Right now I'm rockin' a single coil 'rose-style atomizer' build. 2.6 ohms, 12.5 turns 28 gauge on a 3 mm rod. Works great at 10 watts, I like the flavor best at 20, no dry hits at 30, but my device stops at 8.5 volts so I can't go higher.

I think I like the higher ohms better. 2 to 2.4 ohms works great. Plus I don't need the super-high amps output.

I'm glad everyone is talking about wrapping coils.

I'd hate for anything to be :offtopic:

:)

Of course they are talking about coils, this is a vaping forum.

Remember Lilag, when the hole is bigger, you need a larger wick. If you have a small wick, it won't deliver enough liquid to provide a pleasurable vape. A small wick has no place in a big coil. Don't use too big a wick or you'll have to jam it in. For the wick and coil to work together, they have to be sized for each other. You'll know the wick is right when you can slide it back and forth, back and forth with a little resistance where they rub up against each other.

It's the technique man, technique. Not the size. Gotta know when to use more force and when to be gentle.

I'm taking about wrapping the perfect tensioned coil of course.

what amount of tension makes for a perfect coil?? 3 lbs? 7 lbs?

Well, that would depend on the ahem girth of the wire and the girth of the coil desired. Also clockwise or anti clockwise motion has to be considered too. Thirdly, the hand motion comes into play. When pulling the wire up, more tension is required. When pulling down, less is required. :p

Well, size and resistance do not really matter Enoch777. IMO, these days it's much more about the power you apply :2cool:

Thanks mate, I'm quite familiar with it actually. Wattage is key, and I like mine at around 30w. However I quit buying gear right after the DNA20s hit the market. Blasphemy right? :p

Still vapin' on a modded Nemesis rockin sub-ohms. It's simple and highly effective and I wouldn't have it any other way!

P.S. Size does matter!!! It's easier to wick :toast:
