No increase in temp on modbox but sure as hell on the coils

[MannyScoot]

I just found out that im not to charge the rx200s through onboard USB. It can unmarry the batteries?!?! Dont charge them at the same rate and can cause major issues. Ffs!

The batteries I bought with it have only ever been in this mod, if I put them in a charger, will they re marry if they have divorced?

I charged (3) on the RX200 via usb, next morning I put them in my (4) cell nitecore D4 they took an exact voltage charge on all (3) batteries..... They blinked together and shut off charging together...

If they would of been unbalanced they would have started charging different due to an unbalanced charge from the RX200 usb .....

I can charge it overnight on USB and it doesnt reach 90% and its never charged to 100% on usb at all

I like to choose the coil option for the coil I want to build.......no need to wait.... just plug in what you think you want to do.... let steam tell you what the ohm will be.

Most on board chargers do not charge batteries to full charge.... in fact the manual for most regulated mods even state this and recommend a stand alone to get full charge on the batteries. That and it just safer for the mod to not charge batt in the mod ... unless there is no choice.

Stepping up I see..... I just slammed (2) 4 core SS316L wrapped on a 4mm bit, and 7 wraps...... Ha ha you can put a pencil through that bitch.

Preface: I am NOT a coil builder, I've only tried a few times.
With that said, I've often wondered why some people mount their coils as you have (both ends using the top on one side, then both ends of the other coil using both bottoms) and some people use top for one end of the coil and bottom for the other end.
I only ask this because after the very FEW coils I have tried (I never mixed, I did it same as you) I saw a few vids and it just looked easier and cleaner to have the coils mounted the way you and I did not do it.
Does that question even make sense?
Not sure if I explained it properly or not, hopefully.
Anyways I am just curious of YOUR opinion since you did it same as I did.
I've included a pic of the way neither of us did it. (was a google pic, not mine)

Thats exactly how I do it.

You do it like the pic I posted or the way @MannyScoot and I did?

one over and 1 under, like in the pic. not the way manny does it

 

[Paratech]

Do you do it that way because it is easier and more esthetically pleasing or a different reason?

1 leg upper hole one leg lower hole allows coil to be more naturally level to the deck. doesn't matter which you use, really, just which works best for you. Like winding coils clockwise vs counter, only matters to the builder.

So I don't have to hold my tongue on the left side of my mouth and stand on one foot?
No wonder they didn't turn out too impressive, I was doing it incorrectly.
All joking aside, since I am considering the idea of putting the couple RDTA/RTA I have to use I figured I'd get a few questions out of the way first.
My other questions have already been answered without me asking simply by paying attention to all I see and read here.
Thanks to all whom participated even those that didn't know they were.
Sorry to OP @JonathanJ , I should have asked this in the right thread but saw an opportunity.

 

[HondaDavidson]

Oh you might still need to aim the tongue and balance on one foot. I think that is a coil building requirement.
