Post your builds

[Rayne]

So, I decided I'd try to do a little extra experimentation with my triple gauge twisted wires. This is boredom taking over, when all I feel like doing is twisted coils. I'm not big into all the intricate stuff, because I want to be able to build and install within an hour lol.


This was the original idea I had. Twisted 28, twisted 25, and a single piece of 24, all twisted together. The flavour on this coil was beyond belief. It didn't heat up too much, the flavour was just about as perfect as possible, and it was so smooth. Definitely recommend this for single coil builders. Mine came out just over a .2 for resistance, so it's definitely mech friendly.


I was wondering how I could make that first one more interesting, so my coworker told me to try making it into a chain, or interlocked style. This was what happened. The taste of this coil isn't really great, which sucks. On the other hand, I think it may have been due to something being caught in the coils. It almost tastes slightly burnt, but I can't really figure out why, or what it is. It is possible that it's just a bit too hot...


For this one, I basically remade the original one, but with a slight change; I flattened the twisted strands in the drill press, and then twisted everything together. Unfortunately, didn't think too far ahead, and put it in my Doge... which means absolutely zero clearance. If it had a taller sidewall, and a chuff that didn't cut into the build space, I'd have wicked and vaped it; sadly, this will short out due to clearance problems. At least I was able to fire it, read it (around .25 ohms), and I get to see the final product.

Don't really know of anything really different I can try, before I start getting into multi-hour builds, or needing some specialised tools. I'll be sure to post the next round of boredom therapy, for grins.

Recently did this build for my Origen Genesis...

I started with 2 strands. One of 28g and one of 30 ribbon. Twisted them up together to make one strand. Then I made Dual coils 7 wraps each on a 3/32 bit. Its about .7 Ohms..
This atty already puts out tremendous flavor. I did the build mainly because I havent seen any other builds for it except the usual dual coil setup. Will be doing another soon...

I was curious what the resistance of a twisted 21g wire would be, with higher gauges, so I made this. 21g, 25g, and 28g, flattened in the drill press (of course). For me, flattening them out is the best way to get optimum flavour. Unfortunately, this wire forced me to make a sleeper build (which I've never done successfully before, with only two attempts). It came out okay aesthetically, but holy hell does it perform.


Resistance clocks in at a super low .11 ohms, but my Sigelei won't even fire it (possibly too close to the .1 ohm cutoff). On my mech, it hits like a runaway train, and probably has the most cloud production of any coil I've built so far... and I've tried a lot. My coworker tried it, and liked it instantly.

If you're going to be careful, and know how to stay safe with such a low resistance build, I would definitely recommend this for a super basic, 15 minute build that will hit hard.

I'm starting to wonder if I could fit that in my Kennedy...

 

[Tim Vatic]

Dual twisted 26G sleeper in my TOBH on my AR mod.

Inline dualie on my Kayfun V4 .7Ω

on my homemade 18650 VV ego @ 6volts and yes, it will fire sub ohm. Looks like a freaking barbell, LOLThis is the kinda shit that happens when I get bored.

 

[Hoekakes]

first dual coil clapton comes out to 0.26ohms .. 32 gauge kanthal around 24 gauge 5 wraps

 

[Hoekakes]

32 around twisted 26 kanthal 5 wraps 3mm 0.55 ohms

 

[Ice_Berg]

Twisted 26g kanthal a-1 5/6 wraps on 2.5mm .5 ohms. Triple twist 26g kanthal a-1 5/6 wrapswraps, 2.5mm .36 ohms on a subtank mini. Just barely fits!

 

[Davect06607]

28g twisted Kanthal, then twisted with a single Kanthal 24g
.8, I tend to prefer .5-.8, 9 wraps @3mm on a Plume Veil 1.5

That looks quite nice. Gives me an idea, although it won't look remotely the same when I'm done lol.

 

[Ice_Berg]

24g nichrome wrapped with 36g kanthal a-1, 5/6 wraps, 2.5mm ID. Really nice at 5v on my istick 50. The resistance seems to fluctuate between .4 to .6 ohms. I'm only using the resistance read by my istick. That could be the problem...

 

[gliv52759]

My 1st forum post here. I wanted to share this beast of a coil. I call it the cloud machine because I never made anything that puts out like this one does.

very nice build, I did the same thing sort of in my mini. I did flatten fused claptons and I can tell you first hand ABSOLUTELY no dry hits at all

 

[gliv52759]

Fused Parallel Clapton, 25g 317L cores, 36g kanthal wraps. 2.4mm ID


A few other builds.

 

[AZ4running]

My second build on my first rda. Its a Patriot using 22g i think 8 wraps on about 1/8th screw driver came out to .5 ohms on my iStick. My first buikd was a .6 ohm dual micro coils, good clouds but low in flavor.

 

[Jai Haze]

Here is my fused macro shot of 28 around dual 32g inside with drip shot

 

[Davect06607]

1st time trying a clapton coil, came out better then expected.
32g wrapped around a 24g single core, 2.5mm at 7 wraps, .3 ohms.

 

[AZ4running]

Finally git some flavor out if my Patriot. Sorry no pics, my camera sucks anyways. I did dual micro coil from the wire that came with the Patriot, twisted and warped on the supplied screw driver. I mounted them on an angle and wicked with Japanese cotton. build came to .6 ohms and at 25 to 30 watts flavor is great and the coils heat up super fast.

Do you ever have dry hits with your wicking like that? I am still fighting with my Sub mini, and after I rebuild the first tank is glorious, but once I open it to refill the tank I start getting dry hits and have to turn my wattage down. Such as right now I have a parallel 28g build, 5 wraps at .3oms. Fist tank was vaped at 20-25 watts. Now that I refilled the tank I have to turn my wattage to 10-15 watts.

 

[huero71]

7 wrap 22g n80, 3mm id. I don't remember the resistance.

 

[Semi Reduction]

Allo coil heads!
Relatively new to the forum, but been around the traps a fair while.

24g, 2.5mm diameter at about 0.25 - 0.3 ohm

I don't often get dry hits, but I've come to do a primer/purge puff or two before I actually inhale. I'm running somehwere around 30w-40w with the wicking and a fused clapton right now. just have to find the right balance of cotton, and so on. too much or too little and dry hits are common. Try watching RipTrippers pancake wicking video on youtube. I've modified it a bit by cutting the top part of the wick off, only because it either a) gets caught up in the top cap of the rta, or b)if you push the wicking down, it becomes a bit too much and won't wick right or c) can actually pull the cotton away from the inside of the coil at the top.

1st time trying a clapton coil, came out better then expected.
32g wrapped around a 24g single core, 2.5mm at 7 wraps, .3 ohms.

I like the drill in the background. Nice Clapton too!

 

[Nobody2]

Just built my first clapton coils tonight. 30ga kanthal wrapped around a piece of 26ga for 6 wraps each ID=2.4 giving me .4ohms.

 

[Ice_Berg]

Twisted triple 28ga nichrome60, wrapped with 36ga kanthal a-1 with a pancake style wick. Reading .4 ohms on my istick 50. Amazing! Chucks and tastes great!

 

[DirtyGoat]

Nothing special... Just a .34 ohm 24g, 6 wrap on 2 mm screwdriver build on a Freakshow. This gives me great flavor and good cloud production. Always accepting tips on building so feel free to comment. This sits on my Panzer and i use Samsung 25R's.

 

[Rommel]

 

[NicVicious13]

I think I've been inspired to build again lol You guys all rock. Seeing some really amazing work here! Right on.

Oh yea. I used a larger sized precision screwdriver. ~3mm?? Not sure and like 7 wraps. Came out to 1.4 ohms. Still loves 20-25 watts.

 

[Build or Go Ohm]

Just a couple of my recent builds it has become such a passion of mine only builders will understand that haha

 

[scarecrowjenkins]

Today's flavor build on the Dotmod Petri RDA.....

Dual twisted/helix'd Claptons. 28g/38g Claptons with 30g helix'd into the grooves. All Nichrome 80. Dual 6-wraps clocks in at .185 ohms

 

[RodThaVapenRat]

You should try dual vertical coils on the freakshow. I have built so many coils on my freakshow its not even funny

 

[Swerved]

So I'm like.. Hm, I'm bored. Let's try 4 coils in this cheap ass RDA... Why not?

Works better than I'd expected it to. 4 coils, 29 gauge Kanthal (4 wraps each)... came out to .23 ohms. The MVP Pro 3.0 doesn't seem to mind. Works like a charm anywhere above 30w..

 

[Tim Vatic]

dual twisted 26g sleeper.

inline dual coil on my kayfun v4

 

[RodThaVapenRat]

simple ...yet beautiful.... And effective. Dual 26g wrapped 11 times around 4mm bit at .9 ohms

 

[AZ4running]

Im all about the super nano coil in my RDAs right now. Tons of flavor and vapor, a nice warm vape too. Coil heat up time is really fast. Try it out.

 

[Jasen]

This pails in comparison to a lot of the builds in this thread.,I'm still a noob at this. Twisted 27g Kanthal at 1.8ohm and organic cotton is proving to be quite flavorful in the Russian.

You running duals or no.....and I have tried super nanos and I just can't get it to wick at all.send me a pic of your wick if you can

 

[scarecrowjenkins]

Been LOVING this build in my Freakshow Mini this week. Amazing flavor, loadssss of vapor too.

Fused Claptons.
Twisted 38g around a dual 28g core. All Nichrome 80. Forgive the lackluster appearance, this is the 3rd time i've cleaned & re-wicked these lil guys.

 

[T702]

Dual 26g dropped down from 3mm to 2mm ID coils, netting 0.25ohm in Lancia w custom tip/cap.

beautiful, classy, amazing. well done!

 

[Johnny2Much]

hey guys, i have an original build, in the vein of the transformer coil, i've never seen it done before. im disabled, and have almost no life at lol, and as such, i want cred. for this build. before i post it, any suggestions as to how i can get it out there, and let it be known as my creation? I know im petty, but im also an artist. copy it, hell, improve it, upgrade it and make it you own! im cool with that, but i want my 15 min of vaping fame lol.

Your not disabled my friend

 

[Johnny2Much]

......i call it the "trans-siberian Tiger coil" it chucks unlike anything i've seen, the flavor is better than anything ive ever experienced, and i'm bursting at the seams with pride. (and petty-ness)
