1 vertical and 1 horizontal coil. Now why have I not tried that lol.
But on a serious note looks good bra, of course I must ask, how does she vape?

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
How does it vape compared to other coils?
Thanks @Silver. So it's in the goblin mini at the moment and have only used it for a day now (would like to try this type of coil in my dripper before I can give a solid opinion)
but with that being said I am really enjoying it.
Ramp up time is pretty dam fast (a lot faster than a fused or alien clapton). Actually vaping it below 3.6 volts (more around 3, just my preference).
Flavour is great, find it to be better than just regular twisted 26 I usually use in the mini. And cloud wise it is good.
I would put this coil somewhere in-between regular twisted and clapton wire.
But overall I can see myself building plenty of these in the future

Next one:
Tank : GeekVape Avocado 24mm
Wire : GeekVape SS316L
Inner diameter : 3mm
Number of wraps : 8 full wraps
Total resistance : 0.22ohm (as read by Sig 213)
Fire wattage : 90W
Mod : Sigelei 213
Wick : UD Jap Cotton
Juice : Larry's Juice Company Alpha Charlie
Conclusion : Nice, warm vape, with that "clean" taste one expects from stainless steel. Coil building doesn't have to be so flamboyant all the time IMO. Sometimes there is beauty in simplicity.

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 :

If that is understood, you are more than welcome to post if not complying for the sake of sharing.
I only used pre fabricated clapton wire which I thought was allowed , have re read the rules and see it is not allowed , my humble apologies. .
The coils however , I wound myself using the two aforementioned types of wire.

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.

Understood , shall I delete the post or just leave it here for participation sake.
Once again , sorry for my mistake , pays to read the rules CLEARLY! lol

Suggested format for posts in this thread (OP edited accordingly):
- Below is a picture of my coil(s) as installed without wicking.
- Below is a picture of my build as wicked.
- Some more pictures (at your discretion - I love the glowing ones)
- I confirm I have not used a prebuilt coil or any prefabricated wire.
- Other information and comments (type of wire, gauge, wraps, ID, resistance, how was the vape, etc.).
