Quite lovely friend, congrats to you and Kay if she takes it! Killer that you've got a lacewood. I think that's such a beautiful wood. I have a Wenge and use it daily. Never leaves the house though, it's my precious. But it's amazing how sturdy these woodvils actually are. Despite my best attempts to baby it, it's taken at least 3 big falls off a table onto wooden and tile floor. Not a single scratch, ding or defect. Now that's what I call heavenly.
Identical twin to my new baby! Just arrived in the mail today. Just need to get a bottle installed in it, and I'll be Tootling along.
Both are gorgeous!
I will do that if Oldbroad doesn't want it. I'd hate to send it back and then have her miss it if she really wants it.
Thank you for the visuals (Steam Engine) and commentary on each! You helped fill in some gaps for me. I am so excited! Been a content Reonaut in terms of mods for a long while and have found my happy place with smaller yet more airflow options (0-16), now I'm in the mood to tinker with coils. I really appreciate this!@Robinowitz thanks

As you can see, quite a cool vape there in terms of heat flux on a full battery. Heat capacity's fine, so that's alright. Let's compare it to your current 6 wrap 28ga Kanthal build:

That's a tad warmer, with a nicer heat capacity. Let's try building a little lower to see if we can match it:

Getting there. It seems 28ga SS isn't going to provide the same vape you're looking at so let's instead take a glance at 30ga.

Well now, that looks like a heck of a vape! Warmer than your current setup, (well, at least in terms of the initial firing...) and quicker ramp up to boot.
So maybe for you and @Debadoo, 30ga SS is the place to begin. Or you could try building as low as .7 or so with 28ga which I can say is a mighty fine vape (I've tried it, 2.5mm ID). I think 30 and 28 are worth playing around with. Any preconceived notions of moderate sub-ohm may just be tossed to the wayside with SS316L - it's so much smoother and cooler than a kanthal build of the same resistance.
Keep me posted ya'll!
ETA yeah, sorry guys, if we need to move this to the other thread, we can do so now
Sure! Sorry about forgetting the wattage aspect...that means you should scrap all those heat flux values except the first one posted. My bad.
Thanks so much hun! It'll be awhile before I experiment with it. Maybe sometime in July, maybe later, but I think I will give it a try. I really don't understand the heatflux stuff on Steam Engine and the other thing on the right but I'll get there. Really appreciate you doing the screen shots. As to confusing me...........well heck, that's not hard, I do it to myself all the time!!
Beautimous!!!!
Y'all were in the h/o today?? I tried to call her earlier but her phone was off of course. Both of those are gorgeous.......but I thought the one on the right was your first choice but you thought it was sold out. or am I confused again?? hehehe
Hiya Scooter!! Been missin you! I've mostly been on in the middle of the night.pics or it didnt happen
I don't think it matters but @Sterno can weigh in, or others. Doesn't matter to me which thread it's on.
I dunno if you're talkin bout the same thing I get, but the second coil always has a crazy leg......drives me nuts!
I would say I'm sorry, but I'm not really. hehehe Bout time we got you vapin that gorgeous woodvil! I can't help it, when I'm excited about sumpthin I do like sloth does........just gotta tell everyone how great it is and gush over it so much til everyone wants one! 
Oh goody.......tinker away then tell me what I need to get in a few months or so!! hehehe
We were in a couple days before she went into surgery. She picked out the gold toned one, but I like the one with the blues better. I didn't realize I had clicked to buy the gold toned one when I clicked to buy the blue one. Now I have both.
Uh oh, my mind just melted. . No stress Sloth! After all Mercury is in retrograde for the next couple weeks and communication can get a little iffy. A good time to have a sense of humor for sure. Thank you again!Sure! Sorry about forgetting the wattage aspect...that means you should scrap all those heat flux values except the first one posted. My bad.
Tinkering with coils is so much fun honestly! I love it!
oh ok, I knew that, thought maybe she was in again and you bought another one. got excited, but knew it was too soon for her to go to the rehab.We were in a couple days before she went into surgery. She picked out the gold toned one, but I like the one with the blues better. I didn't realize I had clicked to buy the gold toned one when I clicked to buy the blue one. Now I have both.
thanks!!
Yep! When I first started I remember spending hours upon hours trying to get a simple coil built without hot legs. It's amazing how far I've come - thanks to all the wonderful folks in REOville, and solely thanks to them. If it weren't for this community I'd still be vaping a Protank if I was lucky, more likely smoking again.I will spend hours getting a craft project just right, so maybe you are a real sloth afterall and this is your craft project
How do ya know? I can't tell if the ring is glossy or matte, but did feel the texture, does that mean mine are good?
