Single/Dual: Dual
Total resistance : 0.17ohms
RDA/RTA: Authentic Troll V2

Thanks @Andre ! Much appreciated @Chukin'Vape , I was aiming for something pretty clean . Shot @GerritVisagie !

I forgot to say in the post, but this is the first Clapton I've built and I am rather pleased with the end result.

Damn dude. For your first clapton, that is clean as a whistle.

Great coils @Vaporeon
I loved the side photo - looks so cool!

Hi guys, my first post here so please be gentle.

Hand twisted, as in no drill, dual triple twisted 28g kanthal.
First the 3 stands are tied together and twisted.
Then 2 coils are wrapped, 3.2mm ID, 7 wraps
Comes to 3.1-3.4 ohm
Atty: velocity v1 clone
Mod: kbox mini
Wick: Japanese organic cotton





Ramp up time is slow, but if you're chain vaping it's brilliant as the coil stays warm between pulls. Flavour is good and clouds are aplenty.

Great stuff @The_Ice
From your perspective, how does the vape compare to a single strand of thicker wire?

Good question @Silver , I'm dying to find out. I wanted to order some 22g before I left RSA but never got round to it. I hope someone else on the forum has done this comparison.

Hehe, I was gasping at the 3.1 to 3.4 ohm. Until I saw the picture of your Ohm meter and realized it must be a typo. Looking good.

Me too, was wondering "hoe the hell did he get that, I struggle my ass off just to get to 0.5 with duals...

Here goes,

My Friday morning build
3 loop fishtail braid
28ga Kanthal
7wraps round a 3mm bit
Comes to 0.23 ohm in single coil

Flavour compares to a Clapton setup, little muted compared to my Vertebraid, but still nothing wrong with "Miss DDebbie " loving it.
Clouds- now there, this is much better than the Vertebraid.

Some visual aids

After pic 2, I realized her wide ass won't fit in the Tsunami24, had to rip two wraps off, from 9 to 7.

Fun way to spend a Friday at the office

I guess Miss Debbie gets pretty hot? How does it compare to a clapton or alien? Cools down quick? Heat Heat Heat?

 

[GerritVisagie]

I actually like my vape coolish, so I hit it @50w little ramp up, same as a Clapton, and it's an easy vape.
Chaining it is easy as it keeps heat for ages. You can easily chuck another half hit after the first without pushing a button.

It's very very much the same as a Clapton.
Little more throat hit, little more cloud, same flavour.

Exactly what I wanted to know - thanks for the breakdown.

Any chance you guys can post the rigs you using when making these diversity on coil wires.
Very interested in starting this addition to my current hobby.

No rig.
A vice, some patience and time.

Oh, and gloves! Always wear gloves when you braid.
Blisters happen very quickly

I do apologise up front, the pics are a bit crappy. i dont have a fancy camera to get that great close up pics. But here is my go. Nothing fancy.
the wire used was 24g and 26g Kanthal. Did a dual 3mm ID wrap with 9 wraps on the 24g and 8 wraps on the 26g. resistance is at 0.23ohms.

they glowed from the center out on first pulse, no need to fiddle it. i vape mainly between 25w - 45w so the ramp up time is slow and when the coils are hot the vape tends to lean more on the warm side. Not to my liking as i like a more cooler vape.

 

[GerritVisagie]

Those are nice.

The way I take my pics.
Set your build down, grab your phone and get as close as you can, while the auto focus still works, then just zoom in.
You'll need a VERY steady hand, or optical image stabilization

Or, stand it up against a cup or some makeshift tripod device

I'll try some makeshift tripod. The autofocus is a problem though. When I get it right and take the pic ir then autofocuses again and you get q blur shot. Lol

Keep fiddling bro, took me a while, but I reckon I've got mine figured!

LOL, so sad that first, figure out how to build coils, figure out how to wick them right... And then, figuring out something that doesn't influence your vape.

First world problems!

So here goes my submission.
Fused Clapton coil self built.
Cores: 24ga kanthal a1 x 2
Wrap: 28ga ni80
RDA: Ijoy combo dripper base
Mod: RX200s
Juice: Vapeking Smoothee 3mg
5 wraps vaping at 120w
Ramp up a bit slow but once you get her going she chucks clouds and the flavour is off the charts. Very smooth vape.

 

[KZOR]

@Boktiet ....nothing wrong with that build m8.
Looks great. I will start making when I get my tool on Tuesday.

 

[Boktiet]

@KZOR it's a great past time and you have a certain feeling of accomplishment when all is said and done. Looking forward to all your build photos. Thanks for the update m8...

Hey @Moosa86, what do you not agree about bud?
