Stupidest coil build

[Cloudd]

This is plain dumb (since I have 10 metres and too much time)
Just sharing

22 gauge kanthal on quarter inch screwdriver, 5 wraps.

Excess heat all unuseable and heats up the atty for no good use.

I would space those coils...and wick them.
Try vertically surrounding the centre post, like a stargate teleporter.

Rebuilt a vertical pseudo infinity coil with 22 gauge

I was boiling my cotton in distilled water cause it's the best I could get.

Of course the best hypothetical way to clean off almost everything in cotton is:

Peroxide bleach
Microwave in distill water, glass jar
Rinse once or twice,
Soak in warm everclear
Microwave in distill water again
Oven dry at 60 deg. C

But that's just over

PS: alcohol and peroxide is bad combination

I've seen & built much stupider Iol. If you're was flipped so that the positive lead was closer to the center post instead of away it'd be more usable. Try doing that n wicking it and give her a vape
Edit: here's some of my stupidity for ya:

that behemoth is 10 or 12 strands of 33g A1 "framed" between 2 strands of 28g A1 or 26g N80 with a 32g N60 wrap.

Although I could be wrong about the specs, it's an old coil but she sure was stupid lol. Great vape though

You can use it as a hand warmer in the winter.....lol

I don't suppose you have a close-up hires version of that picture do you?

I can take another macro of it, it's in my coil graveyard somewhere
Edit: I searched, can't find it, I'll just build another

This is my so called pesudo-infinity, I think someone made it already

Oh the brown liquid in the syringe is um, tea leaves juice (DON'T), natural extracted juice from a 70vg and 30pg base with tea leaves..... it does taste just like the tea but the caffeine? F no. Four puffs you'll get a 110bpm.

Infinity coils are great on competition Kennedy's and such though. They fit for the airflow pretty well

Yeah they're like a low power dual macro vertical, and it fits the juice well so well on my derringer clone.

Here's another stupid coil build: it's a sleeper fail arched Clapton. Works great but when you're building a sleeper on a center post block of you don't tighten down the positive lead super tight, it'll short out in the middle. When I first put it in I got an awful taste, so I pulled the cotton and realized it was because the Nichrome was heating too hot on the positive because the screws weren't fastened down enough. Once I tightened them it stopped heating in the middle and both coils work perfectly

Not hi-res, just taken with a clip lens on my iPhone 5s but here's a closer up

the cores

I accidentally unwrapped the Clapton on that lead but it shows the wires inside

shows the guts of it

That is some...... very intimidating looking coils

Not to crazy but my first quad coil built this morning. 24g a1 3mm id 7/6 wrap coming in at 0.15 ohm
