Maybe it's your clock?Those premade coils from FT are great deal but I hate them... they are counterclockwise winded and for me instaling them in Project X is not easy but rather pain in the ...if they would be clockwise winded I would love them

@vaper1960 , another option for getting 28g kanthal is from TEMCo. $7.14 for 100ft. I buy all my kanthal from them. Their wire is very good quality.
Kanthal A1 Wire 28 AWG RW0118 - 100 Ft 0.61 oz Series A-1 Resistance

Really good point - clockwise would work in a lot more RTAs/RDAs
Another option:
$3.02 LTQ Vaper Kanthal A1 Twisted Heating Wire for Rebuildable Atomizers - 32 AWG / 0.2mm*0.2mm*10m at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Ribbon and flat wires are interesting.
Temco is a great idea though, as you can always use a heavy cup and a pair of pliers to knock up some twisted wire.
But one of the best pieces of advice that I could give to folks starting to make their own coils, would to be to get hold of a few different wire gauges. As you never know exactly what you want until you find it.

AngeNZ, Thank you so much... saved lots of time. I still want to get some wire and wind my own, but these pre-coiled will get me up and running for now.
Since I was mentioned, my opinion on the Ulton Tripod is that it is very good, but I can't compare it with the original. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the way the deck and top filling cap are removed, lining up those dots without my glasses is annoying, but it's serviceable. Flavour is excellent but not the best in that department when compared with others I own which I feel outclass it, especially when vaping tobacco liquids. Doesn't have the best throat hit for me either which is another downside. Only major issue for me is the 2ml capacity, but it makes a good RTA for when I'm out and about.
Prefer the GT III, GTR and FEV, but the Tripod is in rotation.

@Vape Muppet, the Ulton Tripod link that I posted earlier in the thread includes the 3.5ml capacity extension.
Want full 4553d, not half 4553d.

BTW, 2ml tank is fine with me... I only vape3-4 ml a day. I actually want a smaller tank.
Having an issue with steam engine. They seem to have the "dual coil" part backwards... serial cuts resistance in half, parallel doubles resistance.

The Steam Engine Coil Wrapping tab calculates serial vs parallel correctly. I have found, depending on browser used, that certain values can become stuck, thus skewing the resaults. I have only discovered this with Gecko based browsers (Mozilla and its variants), so not sure if it is a bug within Steam, or a fault with the browser. A refresh clears the issue and if it persists, clear your Cache
Works fine for me.
24awg Kanthal, 3mm ID
0.5 ohm target yields 5 wraps for single coil
0.5 ohm target yields 11 wraps for dual parallel (11 wrap single coil = 1 ohm / 2 = 0.5 ohm target)
0.5 ohm target yields 2 wraps per coil for dual serial. (2 wraps single coil = 0.25 ohm x 2 = 0.5 ohm target)
The values have been rounded off for simplisity

No worries @Vape Muppet, isn't it always the case.
Atmizoo have the 3.4ml capacity kits available and you can get the Ulton separately as well, depending upon what you have at your disposal.

2fdeal does sell the 3.5ml extension chimney/tank separately & only adds iirc 2ish mm to the total height.
Yes, always the case. Still waiting on an extension for the V4 eXpromizer. Problem with Atmizoo is paying for DHL shipping on top, and an extra 1.4ml isn't a huge improvement. Ideally I'd want 4.5-5ml capacity. As I said the Tripod is fine to stick on a mech and use it on the go.
Thanks.
Just don't really want to order any more gear at present. And I have too many tanks just to get a 3.5ml extension I might use occasionally. If the Tripod was my main tank it would be a different story.
How’s your father doing? Better I hope.Yes, always the case. Still waiting on an extension for the V4 eXpromizer.

Yes he's getting there thanks. Lots of physio now, but I don't think he'll be out for at least another 2 weeks.
@Vape Muppet, I wonder what happened to the 4ml Acrylic bubble for the Expromizer V4?
As it was listed on the Expromizer V4 website, then it just disappeared recently.

Thank goodness he is on the mend
Yes, it was listed a while back on some of their retailers, especially the German and Italian ones, and then like you say... gone. Given that it's Chinese made and Fasttech have never listed the extension yet maybe it's some production dispute or there's not enough demand. Who knows.
