what I need to re-wick/coil my t3's?

[rogergendron1]

Actuwly the coil heats up because its a coil, the electricity has to travel through it to complete the circit and because of the coiling it heats up more than the strait parts that is why when you dry burn and look at the coil head only the coil gets red hot the rest of the head does not. If it werea strait piece of wire the whole thing would heat up evenly but its not so the coil heats up faster than the strait parts because its causing the most resistance.

Fact is if you take a strait piece of wire and ring voltage though it the whole thing will heat up evenly until it burns out but if you put a coil in the middle of the wire the coil will heat up red hot leaving the strait parts relitivly cool compared to the red hot coil in the middle. This is because the coil offers a high load of resistance compared to the strait wire thus generating heat. The electricity has more wire to travel through in the same distance as it would with a strait wire thats why the extra heat is generated only there. Yes heat it generated everywhere but extra heat there because there is more wire to travel though in the given distance with a coil in the way

However the strait parts orlegs do heat up. But imho it is completely insignificant. Unless there is a defect in the coil like a strech or kingk then it may heat up in undesirable spots

If you dont believe it try this

take a 2 inch piece of kanthal and straiten it perfect then run voltage though it. It will heat up evenly starting from the center until it burns out

then take another length of kanthal the same size and put a coil in the center and run the same voltage though it You will see that only the coil heats up and the strait parts are cool enough to hold on to wiles the coil is still red. !

This is because the coil is the piont of the most resistance thuse it is where the heat is generated when the electricity is passed through.

For what happened in the photos you presented the coil must have had a defect such as a strech or kink or even flaw in production materials causing the strait part to be of more resistance

Oh and there is no such thing as no resistance wire. Lol all wire offers some resistance to the electricity traveling through it all wire! !!!!

Any materials that offer no resistance and conduct electricity would be a f#cking mirical of science lol even liuqid hydrogen cooled super conductors offer at least some resistance.

It should be called low resistance wire

unless of course your somehow moving your electricity purely through the vacuum of space ALL materials offer some resistance. It is a basic law of physics.

I can't see you getting that many wraps in there with 28 you'll want to use 32
For the t3 I recommend keeping it around 2, i do 4/5 wraps on 4 mm of wick and get 2.3 with i think 32.
One thing that will help is 4 mm of wick so the coil is larger using more wire. I always prewrap on a jewelers screw driver and thread my 4 1 mm wicks in. If you prewrap you can compress it really tight on the screwdriver or nail so coils are very close an uniform you might be able to squeeze a 5/6 wrap. just make sure your not shorting out. Or touching the top cap
