So just for the hell of it, I did a 26ga Parallel 6 wrap on 2mm ID right through the center of the posts using the top holes to put the wire through. It came out to .65 ohm and long as hell (but still fits in the deck). I have to say it is nice. Flavor is fantastic, plenty of vapor. I will see if I can add a pic in a minute to this, my phone is sucking at closeups lately so it may be a bit blurry, but just to get the idea. I also on a whim took the extra strip of cotton I peeled off to get the wick through the coil and folder it over and stuffued it under the coil so it touches the whole bottom side of the coil.
I also need to push it over a little, it is slightly off center but still not touching
Edit: added a better pic (yes I know my coil is not all that pretty, but I am new to doing parallel coils still too)

So the airflow is hitting the ends of the coil? I'm surprised that works, cool that it does.
So far, so good. I might be hurting it by shoving extra cotton under the coil willy nilly, but it hits nice. Kind of surprised myself really. Will have to play with it a bit more and see if I can go bigger ID and shorter coil without getting too close to the posts.

Looks like I might be able to fit a 2.5mm coil.
Thanks for the pic and the build, going to order later today.
Good to know, I got paranoid about not having it fit, was pressed for time when wrapping, I normally use 2.5mm on my duals, sometimes 3mm. I am kind of digging this setup though!
That's an interesting idea. I usually build mine dual verticals with a horseshoe wick. BTW, if you will twist the legs of a parallel coil together, after wrapping but before taking it off the mandrel, they're a lot easier to work.So just for the hell of it, I did a 26ga Parallel 6 wrap on 2mm ID right through the center of the posts using the top holes to put the wire through.

Just got my grub screws and o-rings from avid vaper. Screws fit fine on the clone.
The rings look like a set of 4 that are all the same size. The top one on the clone seems a little smaller than the ones they sent to me. Just comparing against the spare rings from the Tobeco, it looks like at least the bottom ones will be fine. When I get a chance i may pull it all apart to verify.

dropped stainless steel coils in the clone.... very nice flavor... im thinking its the stainless steel coils lol since i been using kanthal previously...
Dual 26ga Kanthal, 2.5mm ID, 7 wraps, came out to .45. Running at 40 watts, wicked with Rayon. Hello flavor country! Nice dense vapor, I think I found my sweet spot for now.

Sounds tasty and not crazy battery hungry. What wattage do you run that at?
30-40 so far, enjoyable throughout the range, today I have been sticking to 40 and loving it.

Yuppers that's the exact same build I use in my RTA's and also vape at about 40 - 45. In the Velocity I have been running 3 id and 24 gauge 6 wraps. Comes to .25 and vape it at 60.
My Velocity is in transit, i think the delivery day might be delayed do to upcoming East Coast snow storm. Im willing to wait.
In the meantime, ive been making twisted ss wire and coils.
Told my friend about Velocity, who is a RDA lover, so he ordered one from SlowTech.

Saw someone else using this build, so I tried it and so far liking it a lot.
Dual 26ga N80, 3mm ID, 10 wraps each. Came out to .53 hitting it at 40 watts.
Wasn't home when I did this, didn't have Rayon on me, but will be rewicking it with some soon

Finally got my Tobeco Velocity today. Thanks to snow storm, it was delayed by a week.
Build quality is excellent, everything fits snug, now i need to build a coil and wick it.

Quick build. SS430, 4 strands of 28g twisted @28ohms. Wicked it with rayon.
Hits like a train in TC mode. 35j, 450f.
Made a mistake and used 5mg nic juice, so I coughed up a lung after 2nd hit.
The little notch is kind of pita to line up though. No big deal, I'll make a notch on the outside of the tank to make alignment easier.
Not too shabby for my first RDA, i just need to spend time practise building coils and wicking to my licking, but so far so good.
The ability to fine tune Airflow is a BIG PLUS.
And the Allen tool that came with my Serpent tank works perfectly.
