Proud of your new coil build? Found an interesting coil you want to share? This is a thread to share awesome coil pictures with everyone...post 'em up here people...
Twisted nickel build on the v4, twisted 28 nickel .15 it's very difficult with nickel as its so soft, I had trouble with catching the coil with the top cap and messing the coil
That's cool...I've been looking into staged coils the last few days...the idea of cutting down the ramp up time on big wire is pretty interesting... Still have a few steps I should go through first though...
This coil took me for ever to make, I took a length of thin flat Ribbon and just started folding I think it took about an hour, I can't remember the specs but it didn't stay on for long because it was violent haha
Yeah DSC put on to that he did a paralleled Clapton with a piece of 26 to cut down on ramp times and of course I copied him and it does work well
Not my build, these gorgeous coils are responsible because of https://instagram.com/deedupdex/?hl=en'> deedupdex</a> . This guy is a phenomenal builder. Does a lot of outside the box stuff. He was one of the first serious builders I started following. Basically just flipped my world upside down of what I thought coil building really enveloped and it's limitations.
Been playing with twisted builds... Here's a 24ga Kanthal/Nichrome twist...about 0.22ohms with 6/7 wraps... Not gonna lie...didn't like it...went back to a 26ga Kanthal twist...like that one better... Notice the centre post in my Royal hunter is turned a bit in the pic...it's loosened up on me...it moves now...slightly...don't know how to fix it yet, but I have to investigate it in the next bit...
Yes please if I like the look of the goblin mini, it's on the list for when I get a new tank, I probably won't use the stock coils and rebuild it, have you tried nickel in it?
I ran nickel in it early on, before I learned it's not too good for "hot" builds...I ran a hotter nickel build in it, which caused the temp control to constantly be cycling, which was annoying... With a cooler build, it would probably be good...a nice nickel, flavour tailored, build would probably work very well... I've been avoiding nickel, preferring the warmer vapes of Kanthal and Nichrome, so I'm thinking of a twisted 26ga Kanthal build in there if I can get it to fit...
I thought I would treat myself for Friday my favourite day of the week to a simple but very effective dual 26g 5 wrap, 0.24ohm
Inspired by @gorillagrower, decided to do my first submission of my own builds to coil porn with something simple. So I dusted off the Derringer, found some screws for it, and tried to mimic gorillas resistance with 24ga. Dual 24ga, 8 wraps around 2.4mm, came out to 0.29 ohms. Here's some pics of the install
Ah nice very close as well, I couldn't do that first try im unless at resistance in the different gauges
