Here is a interesting build that I did in my stock kanger sub tank coil. .08 ribbon wire

That looks interesting. I've never messed around with ribbon wire, does it still heat up evenly with over laps like that?

 

[eKo Vapors]

Yeah surprisingly. I had about 6 inches or so and said ah what the hell I will try it and it seems to have more flavor than the stock coil plus since its ribbon it doesn't get as hot as fast as kanthal so I feel like it reduces dry hits.

Very interestind. What did it ohm out too? And how tough is it work with, I'm considering picking some up now lol

 

[eKo Vapors]

Ribbon wire is not fun to work with. It's very limber however this one is 5 wraps 2.4 mm and is 1 ohm. The next time I do it I will use a 2mm and maybe do 4 wraps just to get it lower. Compressing it is tuff and you will probably make it overlap like I did :-/

I think I am going to try something different today. 28g kanthal twisted with ribbon. I will post if it turns out good

Hey, as long as it glows even and gives you the vape your looking for it really doesn't matter what your coil looks buddy

 

[eKo Vapors]

Haha very true

If you have any more left you could try twisting it by its self to see if you can make it into a more traditional shape?, and you can also see if it still holds some of the same properties as when it's flat.

Yeah, not sure what I am going to do. I will play more when I get to the shop today. I am just wanting more flavor than you normally get from the sub tank. But you can't use 24g or lower so it makes for some creativity and since ribbon is good for flavor and also thin I am thinking that it will be a good start.

I get ya. I'm going to have to buy some to play around with now.
So how is ribbon wire rated? I'm assuming it doesn't go by Guage since it's not a round wire

Here is what I did with some as well which make for an awesome coil. Just wrap it around some 22g using a drill. Good vapor and great flavor.
