Twisted 24 g nichrome 6 wrap on a 3mm. .29 ohm. Originally a dual coil but one coil got so hot it melted.

so I just put this 4 strand twisted a-1 on my mutation x v4 and its reading between .14 and .11 and the box for the mutation x recommends not building below .2 so does anyone know why they recommend that? I have good batteries and my mod will fire so is it dangerous ? Should I take it out? I really like this build. So I could use some feed back. Anyone?

I'd assume because you run the risk of melting the insulator because of high heat. I've installed a 0.07ohm in a buddies MXV4 (on a parallel box, safety first) and his has been fine. Just be careful when dry firing it, I usually put some juice in the juice well to help keep it cooled off when cleaning my coils.

Thanks liptical...In the four years i have been vaping I never really thought to do that....great idea.... That's what I love about VU.... You never quite stop learning no matter how long or short you have vaped for....great tip for those newbies out there...

I first did this one but realized that the wraps situated between the posts weren't getting much air, so as a solution I did that little bridge thingy.

Don't know what to call this, I've never seen it done.
0.25 317L wrapped around 0.35 317L clapton style. Then did a clapton style wrap over that using Kanthal A1 .05x.1 ribbon. Crazy hard to work with.
4 wraps at 4mm, .26 ohms, goes like a beast on dna200 Temp Control at 100 watts!!

Multi-strand framed clapton.
32 strands of 36g N80 framed w/ 2 strands of 28g N80. Wrapped up in 40g KA1 from twistedmesses.com. Freaking love these builds. Super intense flavor, buttery freaking clouds!

This is my first post as well as my first build. I did a few calculations prior to building but mostly just "winged" it and ended up with .27 ohms of resistance through my coils. They are 30 AWG Kanthal, parallel wrapped. ~5/6 wraps I think. I know that there is a ton of room for improvement in the symmetry and geometry of the coils. I mainly just wanted to see how my battery would fire it and If I could get something close to around .3 ohms. I knew my battery would theoretically fire it, however theoretical circuit analysis deals with "ideal" components. The coils are on a Mutation X V4 powered by the Innokin cool fire 4. I definitely regret getting the Innokin now that I see nearly everyone is using 100-150 W units.It'll fire it but I think a little more power would be helpful. Anyway, here it is (sorry about the terrible iPhone quality). Feel free to provide constructive criticism

I am SO digging this Staggaerd Fused Clapton coils. Intense flavor an SICK vapor pruction!! 2x26g KPN80 Fused with 38g KPN80.
Ohming out at .15 and vapes like a DREAM at 105 watts

Just messing around. Twisted 28g kanthal fused with 24g parallel kanthal, 4 wraps, dual coil, .39 ohms
Todays nice and simple build. First build on my new Velocity clone. 26gA1 8 wrap with an I.D. of 3mm and a resistance of 0.56 ohms. Built to go on my new istick 100w.

Hey Rommel, which atty are you using there? Looks something like a Mutation
Here's my previous build:
I used adjacent posts for each coil which is a first for me
Here's my current build:
Both builds are dual, 32/26 kanthal, 6 wraps, 3mm, 0.3Ω. I decided to leave a lil space between wraps on this one

Okay here's my very first attempt at something more complex than a Clapton:
I used two stands of 32g and Clapton'd them over a 26g. I then unwrapped one of the 32g strands. I snipped the ½ stripped wire in two and Clapton'd both of them together with another 32g. Staggered fused Clapton right?
6 wraps on a 3mm reads at 0.3Ω

DAMN. I am super jealous of some of the building skills displayed here. I've made regular claptons before, but I could never get fused claptons down. This is about as fancy as I get:
That's twisted 28AWG in parallel with 24AWG. 2mm ID, I believe it was around .20 ohms but unfortunately this is from about a month ago and I didn't notate my ohmage.
This is my current build in my Sapor. Using Titanium in TC mode on my XCube II:
Obviously you can see it's reading at .15 ohms. This was .4mm Sweet Spot Vapors Ti Wire; 7 wraps 2mm ID. This build is about 48 hours old and it still tastes like I just wicked it. I've been fully converted from ni200. I still have some lying around I might try to use to do a hybrid ni200/nichrome or ni200/kanthal build.

Dual coil build using 'spiral wire'. Four 28g A1 wires twisted, 5 wraps 3mm ID, reading at 0.20 ohms.

The skill here just makes me smile. I believe we have art that works. I use a welding tip cleaner "Shepard's" hook in a drill & pliers. Slow & careful makes a wonderful product. 
Subtank mini build. Twisted 28gA1 kanthal, 5/4 wrap ID of 3mm, coming in at 0.70 ohms.

First time building with n80. Beautiful colors, comes in at .18 ohms. This is 26g n80 parallel with twisted 28g ka1, 8 wraps each side with a 2mm ID on the Troll. You know, if I could find grub screws to fit this thing, I'd be really happy.
