Rom, it's like home plate. It's where we start from and where we'd like to end up. And the measure of everywhere we've been in between.
Good luck.
Not my first build but first using 22g 5 wrap running at .18 ohm
Saddly now this next one was a pain in the butt to do but figured why not do it for the hell of it
Quad coil 22g each pair is a soild wire bad thing about it. its right at .09 ohms *sniff* Way to hot will do a repost when i remake this using 26g
*Edit* Never mind it get hot fast but flavor is great vape so-so but hey ill let it hang on for a while untill the cotton is burnt off to lazy to try and strip this build out lol

26 gauge/7 wrap around 2mm, meters out to.0.8 ohm on my Kayfun 3.1, went on pretty well. Best build I've found so far for this rta . Not very impressive next to some of the other builds posted here, but I'm proud of it. Wasn't too long ago all my coils looked like you took the spring out of a click-pen and stomped on it a few times.

Inspired by these awesome builds, I decided to try something a bit more fancy. 7 wraps around 2mm mandrel in 26 gauge for 0.8 ohms. My first "gapped" coil ( what is the term for these things?)
I used tension wrapping with a desktop vise ( which is why they look a little sloppy 0 for the three outer wraps and did the middle by hand. Wick's a little too short, but otherwise I'm pretty happy with it.
Why would you do a bend in the middle instead of just another wrap?
This is the first "fancy" coil I've tried that I think actually works better than a std micro -- thicker, denser vapor imo

Hey what did you wrap around?
14 wraps of 24g for a total of .6ohms
This is is built on a Doge, and specifically for vaping on the God Box.........THIS CHUCKS!

Okay thank you I just picked up the god box and wanting to try new builds.
That is the most effective build I know of for the GB. It falls within the resistance limits, and provides ROBUST flavour and handsome clouds. The atomisers I used when I still had that mod were the Tobh V2, and the Doge.

I got another question for you lol I wrapped the 24g 14 wrap around a 2mm db and I put it on my ohm reader and it said .59 then I put it on my GB and it said atomizer short I'm using a mutation v2 so I adjusted the pin up and down a few times and could not get the god box to read it. It just kept saying atomizer short I checked to make sure nothing was touching and it just kept saying the same thing. Any suggestions or is this a issue with the mod?

Yeah I don't know why but the ohm reader is real funny on the mod like I built different coils after I couldn't get the ones you had going to work and they read .9 on my ohm reader then on the mod at first they read like .7 something but every time I hit it the ohms go up it started at like .7 now their at .82 so idk I might have to see if I can get a new one. Thanks for the help it is much appreciated

If you think about it. The two most prolific uses for heating coils are in room heating devices and electric water heaters.....and both use open or fused single coil elements of just one strand of wire.
Your new mantra: Install coils/Tighten.....pulse/Tighten...wick/Tighten....first refill/Tighten.
This is so true. Surely claptons look cool but if they dont work, they are worthless.

I've never tried one before, do they not work well?
I do think that most of the fancy coils are nothing more than a poor -- albeit cool-looking -- substitute for the microcoil ( at least they are IME ). At the same time, I somewhat doubt that the standard microcoil is likely to be the end of the road when it comes to the optimal coil design either. It seems like there should be something better, even if it's not an order of magnitude so. (It goes without saying that the optimal coil is going to differ from setup to setup, I'm speaking in general terms here. )
Takes ages to heat up, and after that it takes ages to cool back down. Flavor wasnt amazing, vapor production was bad. Compared to the amount of kanthal it took to make it, i would say definetely not worth the trouble.
I think for a lot of the coil exotica out there....the person takes an enormous amount of time making them...and WANTS them to be epic....so they convince themselves that it's so. Then display the fruits as a purely penis thing.

I'll say I was skeptical of building my first Clapton style coil. However, it did produce a better flavor in my Tobh clone than any other coil so far. I have been using it for a couple weeks now. The only comparison would be the 26ga. twisted parallel coil. These are both in the threads here. I only use a mech mod for powering those beasts also. The Clapton is somewhat slower for sure. An old Cadillac Deville takes off a little slower too but still nice.

So still can't get the ohms low enough I think it might be this RDA I'm not sure I've been having luck using 26g kanthal but I'll get a build in there have my lead screws tighten down as tight as I can get them and the ohms will start out at like .67 and as I continue to vape on them the ohms will raise I have a 14 wrap 26g around a 2mm db and it starts out around .67 and now that I've been vaping on it my ohms are at .76 Any ideas lol

What did you use to Wrap around??Basic center micro. .9ohm 13 wrap 24ga. Crappy phone pic.
That is typical as the coil develops a layer of carbon.

Wow I didn't know that at all. I don't know why I can't get these coils to work on this mod though. When you had the God Box did you ever put a build in it to go 180 watts?
The build I posted went like a dream all the way to 180w / 10.4v

I have a set of hobby screwdrivers that are a decent amount thicker than little micros, but a decent amount smaller than a full size screwdriver. The one has a sharp end like an ice pick. I use it for a lot of my coils and the point works to fiddle with you wick also. Dual usage and whatnot.
Ya, I almost changed my wording and then thought, ah, no someone will catch it and get a kick out of it. Just be sure not to use a icepick to fiddle your wick on a non- metaphorical level. ;-)
I once touched my wicking inappropriately.
I fiddled with my wick today...it got twisted and I liked it.
Twisted 33 Kanthal, 6 hand-wraps on a 2.4mm screwdriver for 2.2 Ohms. Wicked with Cellocotton on my ancient Mini-DID clone.
I used the Cellocotton because it holds it's form far better than hemp or cotton. It wasn't hard at all to thread down in there.

Dual chimney coil orchid. Single coil shown to be directly above air channels
Second coil added and fires nicely.
Cotton is wrapped around coils instead of through coils to maintain unrestricted airflow. Hits like a dripper!!!
24 guage kanthal 10 wraps around small screwdriver. 0.35 ohms
Careful setting chimney. Make sure cotton forms a barrier between posts and coil and chimney and coil so as not to short out when chimney is screwed on. Also measure height of chimney screwed in first. 26 guage kanthal would probably be ideal, but 24 is what I had.
I also did the same build on a kayfun with a 13 wrap macro coil at 0.97 ohms. Kayfun does a little better that way. Great flavor out of it.
