Sorry not into man loads. Now if you said that you were dripping pluid that would be another story.

Ur telling me that you wouldn't vape your own load if it was Pluid? I would if I was a dude.
Wow this was taken really far. Hahaha. And I didn't even get my Ihybrid today... No radioactive loads today! X-)
Hehe...40+ pages again..but..all caught up.

There's a lot of info in the iHybrid Links about Coil Twist/Braid recommendations and precautions....FYI
I wouldn't say its "necessarily" dangerous, but it can be..
What scares me is some folks misreading or misunderstanding what twisting the coils actually does to the resistance...
Nothing wrong with it providing you meter out the coils until you get a reliable set-up.
Running a coil with too low Ohms can cause too much drain on the battery. AW IMRs are pretty capable little batteries, but everything has its limits..
A multimeter is your friend if you want to play with this.
The other thing I'm not a huge fan of is that it tends to mask set-up problems. It gets recommended too much IMO for beginners who are struggling. Precisely the people who may not be using a multimeter, etc... Just don't want to see any friends get hurt..
That being said, if you're smart about it, meter it out properly to check the resistance of your set-up, its perfectly safe.
THAT being said, I've tried it, and have personally not seen any benefit. I've tried about everything out there with the exception of 500 mesh so far, and always come back to my trusty 32g kanthal, single wrap coils and 400 mesh.
Get them right and they will treat you well / last you a good long time.
Coil on my DID is now up to about 8 weeks if I remember right. Pluid V1 iHy I haven't had that long, but is also still on its first coil and vaping like a champ...
I also added this post...thanks Vapor2112. I think it's AS important to have "warnings" and "precautions" as it is to have "how-to" info
Thanks for the links you guys! I added both of these but I need to make sure I haven't duplicated some of them...if you notice that I have...please let me know? I figure it can't hurt to have more than one supplier of some things...just in case one is out-of-stock.

Phewww....I'm caught-up too Shado~! Mercy! It's getting harder to KEEP caught up though! LOL Hi everyone!
Twisting your wire drops the ohm value of it. To counter this I end up using more wraps. Running extremely low ohm attys poses a risk when using lithium based batteries when they aren't rated for the current draw that is placed on them. Twisting my coil wires also eliminates the hot spot between my wick and center post. One thing I have noticed is the lifespan of my coils has gone down due to buildup in the twists. After about a week of heavy use I have to replace them. In that week my coil will go from 1.6 ohms to about 2.9ohms due to the buildup between the twists.
The only other drawback I've found is heavier gauge wire takes more time to heat up.

ok as I understand it, and Vapor please correct me if I am wrong here. Twisted wire can hide problems such as some shorts and such making it easier to make a working coil, but can lead to other issues like shortening battery life and so forth if there is a problem it is masking. Also as twisting halves the resistance of the wire, you HAVE to add more wraps, like I am using twisted 33 gauge, untwisted I do a 2/3 wrap, twisted I do a 4/5 wrap.
As to why twist instead of just using a lower gauge, when you twist the wire, you actually wind up with less if the wire touching the wick, and what does helps act almost like a wick, giving better vapor production, and I feel taste.
They should ship tomorrow or monday

was I suppose to send you a switch? Thats on my bulletin board and I have no addy?
As far as shorts go, I usually rinse my tank and wick in hot water when I change coils. I dry my wick with a burner until it glows orange and let it air cool. I wrap my coils and dry burn them adjusting them till I get a nice even heating across the coils. Takes me about 10 minutes start to finish.
Party is over all the pre-teens have gone away, now if I could just get rid of the teenagers. They think they are grown at 17 and it is their god given right to stay up all night eating chips and giggling.

those look awesome, ego
Hahahaha, send em a bill and magically they're kids again
So yesterday I managed to snag a GP Paps 18350 with an extra 18500 tube, and tonight I scored a Penelope! Happy dance
But I think I've offically hit my PV budget for the rest of the year 
Until the iHy 14500...
and the iHy Paps atty
those look awesome, ego
Thanks
Someone is wanting to buy one and I dont have any lol
