Twisted wire coils on RM2

[USA-Alex]

Folks,

been playing around with the good ol RM2 today, did a twisted wire coil.

I used 30AWG wire, 5.5 coils, metered at just shy of one OHM resistance.
Wrapped it around a tiny screw driver which is slightly smaller than a 1/64'th drill.

Check the pictures, I snapped the pictures with the 1/64'th drill as reference.


Does it look good to you? It's been my first twisted wire coil, just wanted to make sure it's right.


It vapes great, heats up very fast and produces a nice warm vape.....


Thanks a bunch guys and keep vaping.

P.S. the picture with the single wire coil is the style what I've been using since a few month. I may now change to twisted wire coils until something else comes up

how do you not get hot legs with one leg so long??? in my rdas antime I have one leg longer it turns bright red

 

[USA-Alex]

Don't have an explanation for it but I wrap those coils with the longer leg since month and I never had a hot leg.
I always dry burn them to check if they work fine.

Sorry I could not provide an explanation.

I've been playin' around with twisted wire a little lately. Here's some quad twisted 32g:









Ton of vapor and flavor.

Out of curiosity, where is your coil in relation to your air hole? I would try and keep the legs the same length and center the coil on the air hole.

That's a neat looking setup, gotta try it one day.
My air-hole is a bit sideways to the coil.

If I would flip the coil it would be right behind the air-hole but not right above the juice hole....

Micro-coils greatly diminish the odds of getting a hot leg and with thicker wire they are even less susceptible. I have had them but it is rare.

For the ultimate in twisted wire check this out:

Good stuff!

As for the hot leg question: Hot legs are more of an issue using metal wicks from my experience. With cotton wicks and micro-coils, I can truthfully say that I have never had a single hot leg. It doesn't matter how long or crazy I make the legs... Never hot.

thanks for all the input... i guess ill have to experiment to see what works best for me

That looks great, Alex. Must try. How do you get the twist so consistent - patience and a steady hand?

pliers and a drill would be my guess?

hmm, when I was a site engineer for laying communication line for broadband services, a pair of hand. It take practice, but soon it will be perfect. We even strip comms wire with fingernails only, just to prevent breakages of the wire.

When I do twisted wire with just two stands I cut off one long piece. Then fold it in half and place the loose ends in the drill captured nice and tight. The looped end hooks in a large paperclip. I hold the paperclip taught and fire the drill. Took me longer to write it out than it takes to do.

@Matthee,

As the others have said, an electric drill and a pair of pliers is all you need.
It's super easy and it's done very quick.

I just twisted a 28 gauge wire in half as mentioned above with a drill on my lunch break last night at work. 10 wraps 0.86 ohm coil very nice warm tasty vape.

I've been running a twisted 28 on my modded Phoenix for right at a month now. Still very happy with the performance

Wow, that is a lot of real estate.

Not much room in the Phoenix=coil looks huge. It only comes out to .8ohm on this build.

Yeah, I imagined somewhere about that resistance with 28g, which is what I use untwisted. How's the heat up and vape?

Heats quickly, the flavor and vapor production is excellent.
