Single coil, 28 gauge, 12 wraps Ni200, with cellucotton wicks in all my atomizers. I've given up on dual-coil builds - too much work for marginally better results at best.
I actually prefer single coil. But unfortunately, the Mad Hatter doesn't have single coil air hole so I'm forced to use dual coil. It's my favorite rda so I deal with it. Hopefully they come out with a single coil version
Just plug up the unused hole, or cover it up with tape. I do that with all my three-post atomizers that don't offers a single coil configuration in the airflow ring - unless it makes the draw too tight for me.
No pun intended,...but I'm on the wire on the subject of temperature control/ nickel builds. I need more edumaction on the subject. Someone said nickel is softer wire and can be a pain. I can deal with it, but is the whole temp control thing like night and day?
Love 26g gives all I missed about nichrome and kanthal
Twisted 28 and single.strand 26g single coils is where its at. Those thinner gauges just heat up to quickly and vape anemic.I tried your build last night after reading this and you're right. This is awesome. Works great in my tugboat. Also made it for one of my kayfun v4. It only took 8 wraps in there and it fit perfect
It won't fit in my favorite rda which is the marquis, but I'll just use my twisted 32 gauge in that one
My freak show is from the first run where it didn't offer a single coil option. When I'm on the sxm I run it in dual; because I do prefer a dual coil build. But; the Rdna is just shy of having enough power to push that so I pug a hole of the freakshow with cotton to run it in single coil and that seems to work swell.Doesn't the tape melt from the heat of the atomizer? I thought about using tape or plugging a hole with hot glue but was concerned about the heat doing something

some one told me you got to crank up the temp to get a good vape.try around 500 550 and turn up the wattsGutted. Can't get anywhere near the flavour in temp control that I get with kanthal. Getting a weak vape and a metallic taste in temp control. Just went back to my twisted 26 gauge kanthal dual coil build and it tastes so good. Will get some other nickel wire, have 26 gauge atm, and try some other builds. So far not liking the temp control though.

How many wraps is that f1r3b1rd? Are those coils spaced?Mako with dual coil 26g ni200 at 3mm gave me a 0.08...
That's 11/12 wraps spaced, either 3 or 3.5 mm screwdriver.-can't remember that pic is about 2.5wks old and the build is still going strongHow many wraps is that f1r3b1rd? Are those coils spaced?
I can't seem to get over .05ohms with dual coil 26g
What temp are you Vaping? When I went over about 440, I started getting burned hits.Temperature control is awesome. Once you get the hang of nickel it's really great vape. But temperature control isn't really meant for people who are trying to blow competition clouds. It gives really nice vapor and flavor. It stops you from heating the eliquid beyond safe temps where you can get carbonals. Best part is you never get a dry hit. No more burnt cotton.
On a dripper is where it really shines. You can seriously vape a sick completely dry, not burn the cotton, not get a dry scratchy hit and then change flavors without rewicking. I own 3 temperature control devices and never run them in kanthal .
The Nickel is softer, but it's not that hard to work with. Biggest difference is that you need a few more wraps than you're used to and the best results are with spaced coils

I use a dental pick brush thing with soap and water, then rinse.Nickel coil builds- since we aren't supposed to dry burn them, do you just rebuild when they get gunky, or is there another option to clean the coil?
People worry about the presence of nickel oxides formed by glowing the coils/dry burning. Apparently Rip doesn't worry about such things.I know we are not supposed to dry fire nickel but I watched the most recent rip trippers nickel Clapton build and he dry fired the coils. Why is it bad? Can you only dry fire claptons? I'm so confused.
Found an awesome solution to use 26g ni200 in a single coil on my mad hatter rda. I put two pieces of a lollipop stick in the second airhole. Works well and can be removed easily if I want to run dual coil thanks for the idea.....i used sucker sticks and it is now my juice taster! !!!!!
I do a twisted build with 30 ga. Ni200 and 34 ga. annealed Kanthal. Both single and dual coil tightly spaced builds with 3 mm inside diameter. I use cellucotton as wicking. I haven't tried any others yet.Ok so I've got it producing good vapor now, but struggling to get the flavour of regular twisted builds. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi all. Restarted vaping a week ago with a subtank plus RDA on 28g ni200 7 rounds giving flatuating ohm either 0.092 or 0.102 on an IPV4s. Temp set at 388F. Between 20-25J all is good. But when bring up to 26J onwards to chain vape, I start getting all the burnt taste. Is this normal?
The last time I vape was almost a yr ago on a SVD w nautilus using replacement atomizer. This is actually the 1st time attempt with rebuildable, nickel n temp control fyr
New to Ni200, how many wraps do I need to use double twisted on freak show single/dual I'm not that bothered just want to get it firing on my ivp any help will b great n tips on temp/joules....cheers
