hey lisa, wayne was saying he was using a 1.2 ohm coil on his ERA/ grand. will you ask him what wire and how many wraps he used to get that

Ok 4 wraps of twisted 32g Nichrome gets me 1 ohm so if you twist you get a lower resistance with more surface area

Evening all. Hope everyone had a productive day. I DIY'ed about three weeks worth of juice tonight in anticipation of my mini. I've got as low as 12mg/ml. Also, USPS tracking numbers have been about worthless, so it's a blind race to see which gets here first: The REO (with batteries, but no charger), The extra batteries I ordered, or the charger I ordered. Hopefully they'll come all at once, but that's probably too much to ask.

The first one I did I used Kanthal 32 with two wraps around two peaces of 2mm wick.

The second one that I am running now I found some .20 Kanthal I had from another atty 3 wraps around two peaces of 2mm wick.

I saw a vid today that some one was using 28ga Kanthal and a 3-4 wrap and it was firing at 1.2-1.3.

I will be picking up some from Ebay this week to play with. I will post the link tomorrow when I am on the big PC.

I am exploring the best way to wrap a Low Ohm atty for use on the Grand. I will try to keep every one posted. I may start a thread on it so we call can test different set ups out.

Hope that helps.


ok thanks darrel, i have kanthal but its 32 awg. should be about the same.
question is can my juice handle that heat. guess i'll see lol

I will check the spool aging in the morning and let you know. I have so much wire left over from the gen attys this not funny.

I will pick up the 28ga tomorrow and will let you know what I get out of it after it gets here.

What ever I used it rocks :)

I did get on set up using the 32ga with two wraps. I will try the twisted 32ga trick tomorrow.

I have been at this game a while now and must say this, after trying ever atty I could get my hands on over the past 2 1/2 years these RB-BF attys are the best vape I have ever had.

More flavor huge vapore production, Same vape all day day after day.

I have been using ether the Challis or the ERA on a VVG or a Grand non stop for the past week or so and do not think I can go back to standard attys.

Just saying :)

Couldn't agree with you more. Even the cheapo rebuildable attys are leaps and bounds ahead of the regular attys. I tried a new joye 510 last night, took it off after a very short amount of timel. Cant use them any more, I am now spoiled!
