Just wrapped a twisted 26 gauge kanthal coil, 6 wraps at 3mm ID, clocking in at .5ohm. Sitting on a plume veil 1.5 Tobeco clone, firing between 35-40 watts on my Kbox mini. Just got the plume veil yesterday, it's my first RDA, and I'm hooked. Used my ST mini all day today at work, and while it's a great tank, it just doesn't do it like the plume veil does...
This thing rocks. I went through 4-5 different coil builds the night I got it, and settled on a nice micro coil that was around 1ohm. It fired quick, but it seemed to dry hit pretty quickly (4-5 good pulls).
The twisted coil wicks so much better, by the time I'm sensing a dry hit, I just get less flavor, instead of that burnt cotton-y taste. It's not quite as hot a vape, but if I choke down the air flow a bit it gets there. When I go to re-drip, I can actually see the wick is semi-dry in places, the flavor is amazing, and it chucks some decent clouds.
I did a small twisted coil on the ST mini's RTA, but it just didn't work all that great, took WAY too long to fire, didn't get warm at all, in general the vape sucked. Figured I'd give the twisted coil another go on a real RDA, and dammit, I'm glad I did!
