Anyone ever try using a strip of mesh twisted intona rod for coil building? If so, any tips n tricks? I gave it a try with A half inch wide strip of 400hpi SS mesh and 2 lengths of 28G N80, and it's proving to be a great flavour build.

What does your coil ohm at?

(is it true that mesh coils easily catch fire when the cotton isn't properly soaked with liquid?)
I haven't had any of the mesh twists go up yet, but I imagine they would flare up a lil more than other coils when being burnt off just cuz the amount of space in this coil for juices.

As for the typical mesh RDA builds, that I sadly can't comment on. Never used one.

There were 3 that I ended up making that were like this, but I believe this one was somewhere around 0.3-0.4ish.
That’s not too bad, I may have to try making one. I was expecting .1-.15ish. I like my coils around half an ohm usually so .3-.4 is in the ballpark. Thanks for sharing I got lots of mesh but never thought of trying to twist one up. It’s certainly got plenty of surface area. I really want that profile rda, seems like that design should work well. I’m hoping to win one but if I don’t I think it will be my next purchase.

You really only need something that allows for super thick wire, like a goon. And it has a very... Misty vapour, so best to do a single build
