This is my latest build and been loving it! It is a fused parallel 4-wrap duel coil build with 22G & 24G Kanthal. It comes out to .12 ohms and its been KICKING! The flavor and clouds are amazing! Its so compact and the heat from this low gauge build just works. Check it out!

Hi @BreeZyCloudZ and welcome to the forum. There is a great section on modding and builds in the forum. Get your 5 posts/replies in and then wait till the forum resets/updates at half past the hour and you'll be a Full Member and able to join in the many threads on builds with the other experts. (I'm a noob single coil .5 ohm kinda guy).

Enjoy the journey.

Try to center those coils a bit more man! This is my current build.. a fused clapton on my Mutation X V4.. comes in at about .15 ohms. Chucks the clouds and flavor is on point.. I don't use it in my mech mod as shown, I typically throw it on my IPV3 LI.. pump that baby up to 80-100 watts.. and mmm all I need is some nice slow 1-2 second draws and I'm loving it.

Yea i see people center their coils, i dont really know what the benefit is. I havent really tried it cause you have to bend your legs to center. Also, wouldnt this make a little bit of a longer coil creating higher ohms? And what difference do you notice between centered and the ol' fashion?

With centered coils you can get evenly matched cotton shoulders on both sides of the coil. This will provide maximum vapor and flavor as the vapor thrusts immediately downward below the coil when it's fired. With evenly matched shoulders you coil will burn evenly as well. The juice saturation will be evenly distributed. As long as your negative wires are similar in length it makes little difference how long they are. With most attys you will end up with 5mm legs anyway. Look at how vapor thrusts off a one sided wicked coil verse an evenly shouldered coil. Test it for yourself.

Hi Breezy which atty is that you are showing? :)

parallel builds like you just made are great cloud machines as youve just worked out.

the 20g i use now and then, i think i change my coils more than most change wicks :D only way to get experience though, just dont totally chuck your old coils in the bin, you might want to put them back on ....

Yea i just might have to, whats the easiest way to do that? As in bending the legs and all that

That is the Doge X2 and its on a Fuhattan, and Im the same way! I build a new coil almost every day and I have a little compartment I put all the old ones in. I mean some are just perfectly made, some exotic, some just crazy builds Ive come up with, gotta keep em! Lol

I'm not sure if you noticed or not but the mech mod my fused clapton build is sitting on is a FUhattan by ameraclone. Honestly hits harder than any other mech mods I have, including my tugboat, which was 119.99... this thing cost me 40$ and I love it. It's all copper so I'm guessing the conductivity is top notch, plus its got a nice button with nice weight to it. Hope you're enjoying mine as much as me man! By the way how do you like the Doge V2, thinking to purchase that for my next atty.

The Doge is a great atty, has alot of things going for it, i have a couple myself But i will say that for big exotic coils that dont want to be center posted its a little restricted and the only reason for this is the airflow control sits into the deck. Its great for a lot of builds and tastes great but i tend to look for attys now that actually let you use the whole of the deck space.

Ohh man I love the FU, its great. Is the Tugboat you have the double 18650 one? The box? If it is, I wanted that! And my atty is the Doge X2, its a combination of the Mutation-X an the Doge and it is amazing. It has big posts, big post holes, you can fit almost any build on it, I havent done one build that didnt fit. Another thing I like is the airhole cap fits around the atty which gives you more room, some give you no room with that. It also has 18 airholes! 9 on each side in a slant shape and the drip tip is huge. So its definately a cloud chaser which is what I wanted, its actually a "compeition" mod. But yea, no complaints here, definately a step up from my Derringer.

Many vids on how to center coils. I simply tighten down the neg post first estimating the right amount of leg I will need. A few mm's is usually fine...maybe less since your wire and coil can stretch a little bit. Than I insert a mandrel, usually a screw driver and tweak the coil to the center. I do the other side then tighten down the posi post then make final adjustments.
