Your Go-To Coil and Wicking Build/Technique

[BreeZyCloudZ]

What are your go-to build for coils and wicking? I like to do a 22 gauge 5-wrap dual micro coil. It comes out to .19-.2 ohms and i like to do what i call the L-wick. Which is when the coil is close to one side so i thread the japanese cotton through and let it sit in the deck on one side and the other is over the top in between the posts. This creates a gap under the coil on one side and thats where you position your airholes. -Fuhattan mech mod, Derringer RDA

Just so people know, I am talking about a go-to for cloud chasing

22 gauge 2.5 mm 304 stainless, 8 wraps 0.08 Ohm 85 watts Conventional wicking in my dual coils RBA for the TFV4, pics below, and for the RDA 22 gauge 3mm 304 stainless 7 wraps 0.12 Ohm, 95 to 101 watts, depending on the juice, conventional wicking.

Pics taken after a hard week of vaping. Stainless rocks!!

What do you mean by stainless? Not stainless steel right?

Been digging the SS, works great on everything and can do tc with the right mod.
24g, 2.5 mm 9 wraps, works like a champ-60w and 470degrees.

I'm no cloud-chaser, but I tend to go with a 2.5mm dual 22 when I want to pretend that I am. 6-8 wraps generally does the job. Puts me at 0.16-0.2.

I tend to position them as far out as I can, so that they're almost nudging the barrel. That seems to help pull more vapor off of them... ...I just figure it's better to give the air going under the coils a lot of space to come up and wrap around the backs of them. It helps keep my mod from getting too hot, as well.

I don't do anything special with the wicking. I keep the width to a minimum and cut them just long enough to curve slightly inwards on the deck. That L-wick technique is interesting, though. I'm gonna have to try that later. Never would have thought to go about it that way, as I always center my builds.

Well kept secret. Sub ohm coils. Use a coil master to make them. Then wrap them very carefully around a dowel a size too small. Pack the coil shell with cotton first. Hold the leads so it stays compressed. Insert into the coil head, it expands. How the factory's do it.

You mean like a vertical coil in an Atlantis head? Thats a really cool way to do it, I rebuilt a few Atlantis V2 heads, with varying sucess. I been eyeballing my TFV4 tri coil, if I ever figure out how to get it apart, I'll give your system a try!

I have rebuilt EGO coils. Tiny coils with a wisp of cotton or braid wick. These things are like working in an airplane hanger to me.

Are you saying put the cotton through the coil and insert into RDA? Then tighten the leads? If so, i guess you would pull the cotton back out to test and dry fire? And also, how much do you recommend a coil master?

 

[Saddletramp1200]

I will explain as best as I can. Coil Head is empty. Push as much cotton in it around the walls as you can leaving room for a coil to be installed. Feed the leads thru the bottom use the pressure from holding the coil tight in your fingers to make it smaller. Let it go. It expands. Easy to do. I use Hemostats to push the coil out. Not to much. Just try it. You will understand.

@BreeZyCloudZ

Saddletramp is talking about clearomiser heads. Not RDAs.

Yea i know what youre saying now, but i use a mech mod

 

[Saddletramp1200]

I have some 26650 tube mods that will boil a tank.

One of the shops around here have some cheap 26650 mech mods and Ive thought about messing with them. How do they do compared to a 18650? And an unregulated box mod is next on the wish list[/QUOTE]

 

[Saddletramp1200]

Well, It looks a lot like this

 

[BreeZyCloudZ]

Not badd, this is my latest KILLER build, its a fused parallel 4-wrap duel coil build with 22G & 24G Kanthal. Came out to .12 Ohms!! Lowest I've gone and Love it!

 

[ruthless_ham]

If we're cloud chaseing I'd have to say dual parallel 24g 5 wraps micro Dragon wicked .12 Ω build and massive clouds flavor sucks tho because of the way it's wicked everything tastes like straight vg

Gotta agree this is some craftsmanship I can't wait to try it

[Saddletramp1200]

Wire is cheap entertainment. I remove brand new coil builds & toss them all the time. I think I can do better, so I try it. 100' of Kanthal builds a hell of a lot of coils. 6.00 Best game in town.

 

[VAPEROXX]

22g KA1 dual parallels wrapped around a 3mm mandrel 8 wraps. Clocks in at .12 ohms. Conventional wicking. Hitting it with 310ish watts. Clouds and flavor off the charts. -Hammer of God V2 mod (authentic) and Buddha Z V2 RDA (also authentic)-

 

[The Vape Crusader]

Yeah, I'm still on kanthal builds. 26 gauge dual five wrap on a three-post RDA, nothing special about the wicking. Gets me down to about 0.27 ohms, and can kick it to about 90 watts.

I have a dual parallel 24g kanthal 4 wraps on a troll RDA and it read out to be 0.05 and it's a monster

Soo gotta ask...how can that at all be safe? Usually not the kinda guy that asks that, but kinda curious cause thats really low

 

[Saddletramp1200]

I am known to be a safe person. Then there is Vaping. I make sure everything is right before I put it so close to my pretty face.

But really, what is that long tank? Or is the pic messed up looking?

It's not really all that safe but like all things when used in moderation it's not extremely bad. Chain Vaping at any ohmohm is dangerous. That's my cloud build for fun. I usually build around .2
