Twisted 22g on the Mephisto and Akuma. The holes still had plenty of room too. I don't think I will ever do a build that won't fit in this thing.

The posts are just obnoxious. I traded my zenith for it, which I never thought I'd get rid of coz I loved that thing for its post design and flavor. The mephisto lacks the flavor of the zenith but everything else makes up for it. My only complaint is lack of airflow in dual mode. I feel that for builds below 0.2 it's gets extremely warmer than any of my other RDAs. Wish they would have positioned the slots higher and made them wider. Still has nuts airflow though.
I'm enjoying my smaller 22mm one too. It's got that conical reducing cap and the fins, easy to build on, everything comes apart nicely and the air adjusting works well.
I do wish I could close the air holes entirely off though for carrying. :-/

I see you have the MBV cinna roll, have you tried the sticky bun? I prefer it over cinna roll. BTW nice set up!This what I am using on my the TOBH clone I use on my Precise Simplicity (26650). .23 dual verticals.
Here's what it looks like on the mod.
A note for those that have never used the bigger TOBH that amazes me. It should be called an RBA!!!! I can drip 30+ drops (or more) into this damn thing. I am loving it.
FWIW, I'm trying out one of The Vape Tree's flavors you guys might like called "Gooey Cinnamon Roll".
It's a bit heavy on the pastry and icing compared to the cinnamon, IMO, but is very good.

I'll put that on my list sir, thanks for the what's up.
Less is more, here is my humble build on an RM2 weighing in at 0.9 Ohms. And, yeah, the wick was replaced right after taking the photo. Don't laugh

Dual 28g 10 wraps .8ohms, cotton wick in an Omega. Fired on a Hana at 25 watts. Amazing flavor, good clouds w/ E-Cig Outpost Mule Juice dripper blend.

How do you like the Hurricane coil? I'm thinking about doing a tri-cane in the Cerebus.
Here's my current tri. Need to adjust a bit but it's pretty crazy with all the air here even at .45ohm
with single cotton strand at the moment.

I think the hurricane coil is more of a novelty build as far as mechs go; flavor/vapor isn't anything far better than a standard micro-coil, but the throat hit is noticeably stronger.
However, the hurricane coil at 1.3ohms will produce the same vapor density as a microcoil at .7-.8 ohms. With that said, I guess this build would be ideal for someone with a Provari or other limited power device.
I tried the hurricane coil at below 1ohm but the TH and vapor temperature is way too intense for my personal preference.
(BTW, the hurricane coil pictured above was closer to being a 1.4ohm build)

Perhaps related:
After I'd stripped the clearcoat off of my copper King v2, I could swear it is hitting more smoothly than before.
The atty was not changed at all, using the same (recharged of course) battery too.
It could be that the build is just breaking in at this point, but it seems a lot less harsh and more fluid in how it performs than previously had been.

Siamese tiger build, 0.09 ohms on my mephisto. Sooooooo warm. I really wish this thing had more airflow :/
0.09 Ohms ??!!!??
I really hope that is a typo. You just cannot reliably or safely maintain such a low value with a mechanical connection and handmade resistances. That is getting into the realm of solid-state electronics, not general electricity. I don't know any 18650 that could handle it either.
If I were to try that, I'd be plugged into the wall and using a very good AC/DC converter.
At .09 you're at 196 watts and 46.67 amps.

Answer: A fuse.

My goodness at 0.09 shooting compressed air into it wouldn't cool if off. I mean that's 196 watts on a fully charged battery. Also 47amp draw, good lawd. I hope that's a cloud build for competitions or you're trying to reproduce the TH of ever clear

Yea this is in no way an all day setup haha. Mainly because I'd be switching batteries every 20 minutes. Also, I understand that ohms law gives those types of numbers when plugged in but once you factor in voltage drop under load, internal resistance, and the fact that voltage fluctuates rapidly with such a low load, I'm actually pulling in the neighborhood of 37 amps which is completely within the pulse rating of vtc4/vtc5 batteries. I wouldn't trust this build with something like an efest or LG though. I only take 2 or 3 second pulls, which is all you need with a build like this. Definitely competition only.My goodness at 0.09 shooting compressed air into it wouldn't cool if off. I mean that's 196 watts on a fully charged battery. Also 47amp draw, good lawd.

Also, I don't in any way recommend doing this. I understand the risk and I know what I'm doing. These are not the types of builds that I do for my customers.

4 strand 24g 4 wrap 0.2 ohm
Such an amazing photograph of a cool build. Am still on automatic for the time being but as soon as I can outlay what I want to get all the material... The others are really inspiring too, can't wait.
Yeah, I kind of figured that you do. But, I see so many YT vids and entire channels now devoted to this sort of vaping. And, most of the comments are of the "OMG, I gotz 2 try dis kewl sh17" variety. Monkey See, Monkey Do.
Just makes me a bit sick inside when I see some of these kids doing builds, when they have no concept of the danger. Just that's hella kewl or something.
FAIK, the majority of people under 30 in this country have zero electronics knowledge, if they even have any real education at all. And, now there are people who are being set up with their FIRST mods being mechs built in the sub-ohm range by vendors. This whole "eXtreme" vaping thing could ruin it for everyone as the FDA certainly _IS_ monitoring social media as part of their ongoing studies.

Oh I understand completely. I see way too many new rebuilders at the shop that want to dive as low as they possibly can. I'm pretty confident in my coil building and the first thing I try to do is show them builds that will work well on whatever regulated device they have. Even with my guys that come in that have been doing this for a while, I still don't do low builds for them. I just love pushing boundaries, and love the art of building coils! There are several builds I've done that have came out too low for me (below 0.1) that I didn't even do a test fire on. I just wanted to have the build under my belt and have a nice picture for reference.Yeah, I kind of figured that you do.

Looks good!
Nice, I like simple and I really like the basic twisted wire a lot.
IMO, I'd add a bit more wicking on the far side though to hold more yummy juice. Just be sure it connects to the wicking going to the coils.

Hey everyone. I just built a .83 ohm on a tug boat with 28 guage wire it take some time for it to produce vapor. Is this normal. Also I don't hear that sizzle like I do on my .3ohm stillare thanks in advance

Also what is the most common drill bit size to build coils.

With the same size drill bit, more wraps equals more ramp up time.
With the same number of wraps, larger drill bits equals more ramp up time.
Part of the fun of rebuilding is trying new things. You'll end up finding what you prefer that way.

Yea I was like wtf!! I figured .83 on 28 gauge would produce vapor semi quick. I had six wraps. I guess my coil was to big.

Had to see what the fuss was about, Gplat 24 build. My friend gave me some to play with. I understand that there's controversy with this stuff. I mean I see why it's hyped up, but I'd rather use 22g kanthal.

Thanks, @vinnyvapes. Yea it's way softer than 24g kanthal. It stays in place and holds it shape perfectly. The resistance per foot is LOW too. Dual 7 wraps put me at 0.11 ohms, which if that was regular wire it'd be closer to 0.3 ohms probably.

Twisted 28, 30 and 32 together. Come in at .74 ohm. I wanted a little lower, next time I will lose one wrap.

One more Gplat build, for science! I wanted to try and get a higher resistance, so dual 10 wrap on a 3/32 bit. Came to 0.2 ohms on the dot. I will be discontinuing my use of Gplat after tonight. I just wanted to see what was up with it. There's a pretty big difference in how quick it heats up, and the vapor is a lot more dense than 24g kanthal. The flavor seems a bit sweeter on the juice I'm using than what I was getting from normal wire as well (honeydew/pineapple DIY mix, 90% VG).
Sigh, I wish the specs on this stuff were out. It's a treat to work with. But I'm going back to kanthal til we learn more.
