Builds for Coil Master Medal
- Thread starter Andre
- Start date
Hi @smilelykumeenit
I am not the sole decision maker on the medal. There are other guys in the team who are far more experienced at building coils than I am.
As i said to you at the vape meet, we are a team and we have been extremely busy with various initiatives so we havent gotten round to evaluating this (and many other things).
So as some of you lovely gentleman and ladies will know I fabricated my own clappie coil last Friday for the first time , so being bored i attempted a fused one on Saturday and installed it on Sunday morning
1) Before wicking, pulsing and obviously fixing that Grand Canyon gap
2) Pulsed, Grand Canyon filled and wicked
3) Additional photos covering pulsing, coil before installation and wire before it got the wrapping treatment
4) I solemnly swear I made this wire myself and may I be plagued by one billion dry hits if I am not telling the truth
5) Material: 28g SS316L wire x2
36g NI80
ID: 3mm
Wrap count: 6 (aiming for high R)
Resistance: 0.45 post firing
Vape experience: Good flavour and clouds but damn this built is thirsty

Hellloooooo allll ive been building for a while now after i was inspired. By oom @KZOR
So today i think i made the perfect set of fuzed claptons for mech squonker's(for me that is)
I was trying and trying to get this right for many a day and many a night with blood sweat and tears and @ last i think i have it to perfection.
Ime not a big fan of exotic coilz as i dont like high wattage vapeing.
And hopefully these may get me this coil master medal.
So after useing 5x32 Ni 80 (core) and wraped it with 40ga Ni 80 the ohms came out to high for my likes on a mech squonker so i played around with diffrent cores for many many weeks but to no avail.
So today i saw my 40Ga was allmost finished and i had a full spool of the 32Ga Ni80.So i said lets give it a go.
So i took 4x32ga Ni80 and Claptonaited it with......get ready.......32Ga Ni80 lol and oh my what came to be will be my adv wire for years to come.......
Number of coils:2 (DUAL)
Inner Diameter :2.5mm
Ohms:0.25
Cotton used: cotton bacon v2(it was on special lol)
Airomizer used: Goon 1.5
Mod used: PHANTOHM squonker
I also swear and promise the wire was made by me and not bought or comes from any other sorce but my own 2 hands.

Sounds great and looks awesome! Congrats, will have to try something like this as well, wire for tasting me thinks, as I also do not do high wattage.
Sunday build day:
Still experimenting with the serpent but getting close to the flavour people rave about
1) After pulsing and hotspot termination
2) Post wicking
3) Installed with leads on top (experimenting with gap between coil and air outlet .. can maybe park an atom between the two)
Wrapping, coiling, winding... pick your term
Close up before clamping this sucker down
Pulse baby pulse
4) Once again may a billion dry hits strike me if I did not fabricate this wire myself
5) 26g Nichrome core with 36g Nichrome sleeve
3mm ID
0,55 Resistance
Vape experience.... not too shabby decently warm and very dense vape, flavour is good but I feel with some tweaking it’ll shine

Guys, please keep in mind that building a single clapton or other exotic coil won't get you a medal. We need some variety from the builders before we can make a decision. Also, please try to take clear, well focused and close-up pictures so we can see your work well. Impress the team, and you'll get your medal
based on the last comment by @zadiac,

here is a build for the admins' consideration!
a medal will look really good on my profile page
it is a 7 loop vertebraid in 40g, all Lightning Vapes N80.
the cores are made up of 2 30g frames and 4 ply 0.4mm ribbon.
the pattern is made by moving the "active" loop through ALL the loops, and then OVER the cores, with 4 loops on one hand and 3 on the other.
think "index to pinky, all the way through, over, move fingers down, repeat"
this build takes a real long time to make, nearly 4 hours of steady work for roughly 20cm.
22mm OG Goon - 5 wraps on 3mm ID and it has settled on 0.13Ω in this dual configuration.
i am using it on my Petri Lite and it is delicious, dripping Kilo Birthday Cake, which i have had a bit of a love-hate relationship with, as the icing is very prominent and not ENYAWREKLAW Funfetti. i feel that this braided build tones the sweetness down and almost separates the flavours to allow the cake note to be enjoyed. so more love than hate : )
the vape is both airy and yet very dense. i can only liken this phenomenon to Italian hot chocolate or that San Benedetto ice tea.
i would like to recommend braiding to anyone wanting to make solid coils without the need to have finesse, like a tight alien.
the flavour is excellent, they are beautiful and they require only a clamp and some wire. i have attached a photo of the clamp i use for braiding. it was around R250 at Builder's Express and is good because it has the swivel-head so you can get your cores at a slight upward tilt, and the rubber cover on the jaws are easy on your wire. i will be making a how-to sometime soon, likely motivated by comments here
thanks for your time! enjoy the photos : )

@smilelykumeenit ..... awesome job.
If you don't get a medal after all the coil hype surrounding your work then i have finally lost all faith in this forum.
Truly hope you get what you have totally proven by now that you have earned.
