1 vertical and 1 horizontal coil. Now why have I not tried that lol.

2. built myself
3. half clapton helix (built and wrapped myself). Someone correct me if the name is wrong.
4. 28g kanthal wrapped in 34g nichrome 80 (clapton). Then clapton is twisted with 26g kanthal, then gaps have been filled (twisted) with 2 strands of 34g nichrome 80. 4 wraps come to 0.29 ohms on evic mini. ID: screwdriver
So I was just planning on doing a quick rewick but ended up building this instead .
This coil vapes well (tonnes of spaces to wick juice). Haven't seen to many Helix coils recently so though I should try one.
Anyone who is looking at getting into "exotic-ish" coils, I really recommend trying this out. It is a pretty easy build compared to other clapton style coils.
A very brief build process description.
1. Clapton 28g kanthal with 34g ni80 (or 32 if you can't get 34g wire or buy some ud clapton wire if you don't feel like making a clapton )
2. Straighten the 26g kanthal.
3. twist the 26g and 28 clapton together. Very important is not to over twist it because this will bunch the wire together and there is no coming back from this. So to the point where the wire stars pulling back/it looks alright.
4. Now you have 1 wire (put back in drill). Take the 34g ni80(or 32g) and start twisting it into the gaps in your large wire. You will see it will follow a channel in your twisted wire. This will leave one channel open for the other strand of 34gni80 (remember I mentioned 2 stands of 34g). Now twist the 34g into the remaining channel of the wire.
(All twisting done with a drill).
And boom! you have just made your first exotic coil! Now wick it and enjoy the vape.
If you have any questions I'd be happy to help.
Coil master stuff indeed @WDE
Superb photos!! Very pleasing to look at
Thanks for the writeup of the procedure

I'm over his mod nowNeat, very neat and perfect heat up there. As to that Sigelei -
Too late to start acting shy Mr 213Hahaha. I'm not showing off gents,it's all I've got left. Sold my old sig last week and my cuboid yesterday to repair the damage of buying this bad boy...
I'll post pics without the mod from now on.
Whilst we do appreciate the trouble and that is a thing of beauty, the rules clearly states you cannot use prefabricated wire (clapton, hive, etc) or pre-made coils. You have to make your own wire and build your own coil and confirm thus if applicable.Second attempt , with a staged clapton ,on my Tsunami as follows :
Tank : GeekVape Tsunami RDA
Wire : Vapowire 25ga Kanthal and GeekVape Clapton 26+32ga
Inner diameter : 3mm
Number of wraps : 5
Total resistance : wicked and primed at 0.23ohm
Fire wattage : 80w
Mod : RX200
Wick : Cotton Bacon V2
Juice : Hardwicks Smackaroon
Forgot to snap a wicked pic

Conclusion : huge flavour , huge clouds , nom/10

If that is understood, you are more than welcome to post if not complying for the sake of sharing.
Nope, not allowed. You have to make your own clapton (or other) wire. Otherwise this will not be a challenge and nerds like me....I only used pre fabricated clapton wire which I thought was allowed , sorry.
The coils however , I wound myself using the two aforementioned types of wire.
