Dragon Skin Coil

[KeepItSimpleStupid]

Credit has to go to @Bigkevx57 and I posted this in the post your builds but I think a coil like this deserves a thread of it's own, I'm editing a build video for it slowly as I get time but check her out

34g(the MutXv2 build was done with 32gNich80) used to clapton around 24g, 6in long
decored 34g and stretch clapton wrapping to 18in
cut into 3 6in pieces
recore each with 28g
twist them together the opposite direction you wrapped the clapton and flatten with toothless pliers

forgot this one, this is wat it will look lik before you flatten it

My wife looked over my shoulder and thought that I was looking at jewelry. That is amazing work. What is your process for flattening it?

 

[KeepItSimpleStupid]

just lubing up the toothless pliers and wire wit some juice and applying soft but snug consistent pressure and you cant really spin it slow atleast i find that spinning it kinda fast and just not slowly is almost always better

That is... I need to try that.

Seems rather complicated, as many oddball coils do, but it DOES look like a juice-sponge, heater..

All out of nichrome and i really dont want to attempt this with kanthal, the ramp up is gonna be to much.

Sweet looking Atty jewelry you have there. played with some flattened coils awhile ago. just make sure you clean them well. I was seeing metal dust in stuck in my wicking.

 

[KeepItSimpleStupid]

I was em real good wit soap and hottt water cause I use juice as a lubricant and that combined with my pliers and all that I couldn't live with myself if i didn't wash em, lol

 

[Whiskey]

All I can say is "that is amazing"

 

[Tearik]

What's it ohm out to?

 

[Number3124]

I'm seeing either 0.28 and 0.44 or 1.26 and 1.44 or some combination thereof on the ohm reader.

 

[KeepItSimpleStupid]

.28 wit 32g and .44 with 34g

great link but nothing i can find on how to make that coil. i got the prep down, mine looked just like that photo before i flattened it. it came out super sloppy. I used 24g and 32g nichrome as well. i guess i didnt lube it enough or go fast enough.

Wow that is amazing.

I've been making my own coils, haha I don't think I'll ever get to that! This is bordering craftsmanship.

More lube never hurt anyone, and the faster you go with a lighter touch with the pliers worked out better for me
