duuuuude. wholly fuck.
duuuuude. wholly fuck.
I was SO challenged by the alien wire coil that i decided to work at it. I have to say, it is definitely the HARDEST coil i have ever tried. Huge props to TwistedMesses, Squidoode, OhmboyOC and others that have done youtube videos on this and make it look so easy. Their finish product is sweet. And as they point out...the wicking properties are very unique.
So in this final result i did three strands of straightened 26g Kanthal and run parallel wrapped with a de-cored (and stretched) 36g Nichrome80. Chose this combination of wire rather than anarchist (all nichrome) to try to keep this dual above .11 so could still use it on my ipv4 (which for me has been flawless despite the unfortunate issues others have had with theirs). I did 5 wraps on 3mm diameter screwdriver and the dual coil came to .0135 ohms.
It isn't as "tight" as i would like but this is the best results i could get after 5 attempts and frustrating fails.

Well so far the juices I used on it I dont enjoy but was testing them to see if steeping has helped them so I can quite comment yet, Ill try it with some juice which I know exactly what it should taste like and see. It doesnt take much to fire it though, at 2.8V/80w it lights up with no ramp up time....like a instant on switch so its even great on a Parallel box...I think I may do it again but with less Ribbon so I can Dual Coil it while keeping around the same resistance....Maybe a 14 PLY Dual coil next time.Wow that's crazy. How does it vape?

welcome to the forums man. glad you made the move check out the 'post your builds' thread too.Looks like I'm late to the party! For everyone who knows me from the other board, thanks for telling me y'all moved here -___- and greetings to everyone I haven't met yet. I'm Tom & I like to build coils n things. I don't self-proclaim to be great at building, there are types of coils I struggle with (e.g., Staggertons - I HATE building those), and I'd rather let my work speak for itself than having me brag about my builds. Looking forward to getting to know everyone in this thread & the forum in general!

Definitely will do. I'll be here a lot though I figure, pretty much everything I've been vaping lately is a little over the top haha. Like the coil above^ I just call it the half double, 2x half staple staggers fused together instead of a regular SSFC. I have 2x 10ply .3x.1mm/spaced 40g sticks I'm working with. Right now I'm trying to choose whether to go fuse them together with 44g to make a 20ply or to use them both in separate builds. Suggestions?welcome to the forums man. glad you made the move check out the 'post your builds' thread too.
You're too humble, Tom....I don't self-proclaim to be great at building
I don't view it as a competition, I just build what I think will be cool or what I know I enjoy vaping on. Anyway. What did those self proclaimed gods on ECF do to you?You're too humble, Tom....
I've seen a fair number of his builds, folks, and he can definitely hold his own with the top builders here on VU.

There are a couple of builders here that do, so I quit posting in the "Post Your Builds" thread. Too much of a "Hey, can ya beat this?" attitude. Otherwise, VU is a FANTASTIC place to call home for me.I don't view it as a competition
i dunno man, i feel like im at about 10% complete in terms of being a good builder. my imagination is limited lol. i spent a few minutes thinking on what i could do and my best option right now would be to stage/frame or some variation of stagger fuse one them with something like bare mirror polished/flattened/square 26ish gauge?Right now I'm trying to choose whether to go fuse them together with 44g to make a 20ply or to use them both in separate builds. Suggestions?
Wow. Was it because you were promoting your site by referring people to your Instagram account? High and mighty cunts. Other than that, DM me I have a proposition for ya!That's why I haven't been posting lately.
I used my website in my profile (NOT in a posting), and they brought down the high and mighty ECF Hammer on me. Fuck 'em.
