Did some mirror finish 24g dual coils, they came out stunning!

Your build is looking neat
Looks awesome, does the polishing make any difference to the coil performance, or just for show ?Did some mirror finish 24g dual coils, they came out stunning!

I can't notice any change in flavour but I'm keen to see if the coils still gunk up that easily or not

Outstanding neat coils @Chris du Toit !
How is the vape?
Explain to us what the sanding does.
Please post pics of your other coil builds!
Thanks @Silver
The process is quite simple, you wrap you coil around the drill bit with the wire caught in the chuck. Wrap it all around with no legs sticking out. You then cut a piece of sandpaper starting from about 250 grit or higher and wrap it around the coil and start spinning moving up in the grit as you go. The higher the grit the smoother the finish will be. I ended with 1500 grit.
I cannot taste a remarkable change in flavour but I recon they shouldn't gunk up that quick seeing the surface is now much smoother.

Mirror clapton... Not bad but would have liked to used 22g parallel instead of 24g. Would have been more raised and flattened with the sanding process.
Edit: just fired the coil and look at those blues

I remember the first time I twisted 32g Kanthal, it was a 0.6 ohm coil in the old Igo-L (remember those @Silver?) The flavour was amazing! Also, 32g isn't the easiest to work with, it's so springy

Its actually 3 strands of 32G
Such a mission to work with!! Best thing to do is go over with completed wire with a blowtorch lighter. It takes the springiness away

I remember the IGO-L very well @BumbleBee ! I still have mine. Havent used it in a while but at the time it was a reliable flavour machine! I think I need to fire it up again and give it some glory. It was the dripper I used to practice coil building on before the Reos. Worked like a charm. (As advised by Andre)
Your coil master medal is "very well deserved", well done bud, I can only attempt and hope to just get close to your craftsmanship.
My builds of the day
This was my first ever build and it did not come out half bad. I used two strands of 26g Kanthal and twsted it. The build is a dual coil in my new Wotofo Lush. Flavour is quit nice as well. I'm quite chuffed!!

Did a vertebraid coil tonight... Very good flavour. Came out to 0.25ohm single coil

Thank you so much. I still have a lot to learn but I love the coil building to bits!
