What Is Up With All of These Crazy Coil Builds

[edyle]

Lately I've been seeing a lot of posts and videos on various social media and YouTube of people building crazy coils. Like twisting wire then wrapping it with more wire or twisting wire and twisting it again, or braiding all sorts ok wires and then wrapping more wire around them. There are all sorts of crazy names the best one I saw was "Alien wire" lol. So what gives? Are there any actual advantages of people spending crazy amounts of time making these coils or is it just to see who can wrap the prettiest wires together? If there's a noticeable advantage to these coils then maybe I'll take the time to replicate some builds but as of now I just don't know how I feel about them.

It's about getting more surface area out of the same mass of coil wire.

You can also use ribbon wire instead of round wire to improve the surface area ratio.

Im sure I'm going to get pelted here but I think all of these different coil builds are all psychological. I used to mess with all that crazy stuff and I found no difference between a simple coil and a complicated one.

I mean it's cool if you want to do it for fun/hobby but for me it was a waste of time

Did you take 5 secs of time to watch the posted twistedmesses incredible video to say your 100% wrong.
The wick sucks up the ejuice and would feed faster than a basic wicked coil for chain vaping at high wattage with no dry hits.. Theres only a certain point to flavor before our senses overload and shutdown muting all flavor.. It also helps if you DIy ejuice use lower percentages of flavoring and glycerin dilute questionable purchased ejuice making vaping that much safer if D/AP are in question.

I used to think that these low ohm and crazy builds would combust while vaping them and burn our lungs. They are as safe as normal basics as long as they are juiced but get a dry hit and voosh instant fire. One guy on a fb group on video vaped a clapton at ~800 watts and it blew his top cap off like a rocket It was juiced, yes sometimes even the fancy builds are not enough

Thank you for this pic cokatu

When I saw that pic it struck me as the proper way to coil the common 3 posts-in-a-row rda in such a way that everything lines up symmetrically, and the coil legs end up right where they are suppoed to go

The nice thing about this build is the airflow goes right where it is needed the most, as opposed to a standard coils having one side hotter then there other.

I wonder how you wind the coil.

I wonder how you wind the coil.

With a pair of jewelers pliers. Straighten out your wire, then at one end create a 90 degree bend, this will be your positive leg. With the short end sticking out, and long end down, wrap the long end around the rounded tip of the pliers to make the inner circle..... After that just wrap each coil around the previous one

In some cases like Claptons, they give a huge flavor boost. But most literally just look pretty. I've tried many of these so called 'game changing' coils and they vape just like a normal dual coil. I'll stick with my easy to build duals

Just took a quick and dirty picture tutorial:
Step 1: Straighten your wire

Step 2: Bend positive leg in a 90 degree angle

Step 3: Using jewelers pliers, position wire with positive leg parallel, tail down

Then wrap first coil around the rounded tip of the pliers

Step 4: Holding the build stable with the pliers, wrap each consecutive wrap around the previous one

Step 5: Bend negative leg up using rounded tip of pliers

I switched to 22 gauge half way through, because for stovetop coils it's easier to work with, and I wasn't planning on installing this, just a quick how to.

I gotta try this..

Pound for pound (or ohm for ohm in this case) stovetop coils have been the biggest cloud producing coils for me...for example, a .5 ohm dual stovetop puts out more cloud then a .25 dual macro coil, and since the airflow hits the whole coil, you don't have that whole half of the coil getting hotter then the airflow side thing going on.

I agree, unless you have a atty that has three air ports pointing at all sides of a tube coil the backside tends to overheat. ( i'm pretty sure I'm the only person who has one )

When I get my Velocity RDA I'll definitely be experimenting with flat heating elements.
