Wow this is amazing news I can not contain my excitement. I am already over the moon about the juice and being able to taste that sublime. Thank you @KZOR you sir are a legend.

Thank you for your kindness.

It’s a deep hole.... one which will produce some profanity and squintness but it’s so worth it...

I dont even know where to begin @Smoke_A_Llama

Drill
Swivels
Pliers
Good wire cutters ( I use tin snips actually)
Clamps or bench vice
And obviously wire ( gasphase is a good source of high gauge )

And data for videos and research

I sometimes wonder if I like ni80 for the taste or the color. 26g ni80 parallel 0.183 ohms.

Moey_Ismail · 20/12/17

So my previous attempt at a 5 core 29ga with 36ga alien didn't turn out too great, 29ga wire is pretty thin and the standard 3:1 ratio for aliens doesn't apply perfectly when using a de-cored 26ga clapton to use over 5 cores of 29ga so it ended up bunching the wires up, I didn't get the surface area I wanted and the bunched up cores caused some spitback, I know @akhalz is a master of the 5 core alien so I asked him for some tips and tried again. And voila! It's flatter and there's no bunching up whatsoever. Excuse the crappie pic quality, long day, shakey hands.

For reference, here's a pic of the less than satisfactory attempt, it didn't look bad and I didn't even realize till I compared the surface area against the pic of @akhalz build.

@akhalz thanks for all the help bro, much appreciated.

28g ni80 parallel 2mm 0.22 ohms I was aiming a bit higher but the vape is awesome.

Friep · 22/12/17

Build with the wire I got from vapeking today. 0.12 ohms takes ages to ramp up flavour is good but not great.

Clouds4Days · 22/12/17

So ive never followed this thread but i plan on reading it through now from page1.

@KZOR got me inspired with his newest vids on coil building with the new Dadaelus Pro.

So i went out and got one yeaterday and started playing today.
@KZOR you make it look easy

I know where i went wrong initially (using wrong wire to wrap and also jumping straight in the deep end)

My first attempt at making coils-

Please do laugh cause its funny AF.

So then i attempted again but went for a more simple coil 2×26G wrapped in 40
And came out ok, not 100% as the jig wasn't moving and i had to manually move it along.
I used my Granite kithen top to work on so not sure why it didnt automatically move along.

Anyways heres what i managed to do.

Im pretty chuffed for a 2nd attempt and can only move forward from here.

Great to see @Clouds4Days
Lol that first wire you made looked quite interesting.

Far better than i could do

Hope it vaped okay

That first one was a shocker of note

And worst of all it took me like a hour and a half to make that rubbish

The 2nd one took me about a hour.
Im gonna install her in a atty this evening and will let you know how she vapes @Silver .

Lol @Clouds4Days
As long as you enjoying it - thats what counts

I have had many "multiple hour" sessions making coils and putting them in my atties. And im talking about simple coils! Not exotics. Haha

Ive always wanted to make my own coils but the thought of drills and swivels and beads and pliers always put me off.

Ive been eyeing out the Daedalus v1 for a while but it was a bit pricey and didnt really know how it works.

@KZOR video tutorials on the Daedalus are great and in depth , that and the fact vape club had the Daedalus at a crazy low price of R760 for the full kit i couldn't resist the urge to jump into coil building.

Clouds4Days · 23/12/17

Oh yeah and for anyone intrested the Daedalus Pro is not on Vape Clubs website you have to go in store or give them a call.

At R760 everyone who wants to start building there own coils should get one, its a no brainer.
