Nickel Builds

Sister in law bought me a Macro lens for my phone.. First thought that came to mind was, now I can take proper pics of my coils!!!

Dual 28G Ni200 - 3mm diameter.
0.070 ohms.
 
So last night after chatting on the phone to @Paulie about Nickel coils, I thought I would try something different for my next nickel build.

Single Coil
28g twisted nickel
9 Wraps
KGD Wick
0.08 ohms

Just a quick question to the guys building twisted coils.

Do you twist the Nickel(Ni200 28g) with Kanthal or Nickel?

@Ohmen I twist nickel with nickel.

I believe that twisting with kanthal also works but I have yet to try man

I know @BigAnt has built twisted nickel builds with different gauge nickel wires. I.E 28g twisted with 31g

Thanks @Yiannaki

I have been meaning to try Nickel twisted with Kanthal both 28g but I just need to know that the TC will work as per normal

I want to build it on my Lemo 2 with iStick 40w and Mutation Xv4 (single coil) on my IPV4S

ah okay great! I see the istick 40w has a min nickel resistance of 0.05ohms which will give enough flexibility for nickel builds :D
 
Goliath II - Stock Coil Rebuild

I was planning to do a dual coil, but seen that this is my 1st time doing this on a Goliath II rather single coil for now.

Stock coil stripped and ready

That screw is 4.0 ID btw
I done about 13 wraps....
20150812_090339.jpg

.....removed some wraps aiming for that 0.15ohms

26g is so more forgiving when it comes to wicking. Snug fit.

Vaping for about 2 hours on this rebuilt coil and had no leaks. Super easy to build.

lol
i bought 2.0-2.5-3.0 & 4.0 from my local hardware store. What i like about doing my wraps around this screws especially in an RDA is that once its installed onto your deck all is need is to unscrew and wick ...easy ...easy

@Ohmen,twisting Kanthal+nickle works great on t.c.I find it makes it easier as it sturdies up the builds and gives better flavor imo.
 
Build on the lemo 2:

twisted 28g ni200
7 wraps
2.5mm ID
0.08 ohms

all juiced up:

currently running at 20J and 200deg

what settings (Joules and degree C) would you recommend?
 
Nice @Riaz :)

How are you finding the vape on TC?

Try cranking the temp to 230 and the power to 28J. and let us know how you find it :)
Today is my first day experimenting, and so far, honestly there is a difference in vape compared to kanthal, but im not making any rulings just yet :)

You know how things are when you just get it, your opinion is clouded (pun intended)

Fair point man.

I think it will take some time to notice the difference. One thing i can recommend is to try juices you know really well.

I'm my experience, almost all of them tasted slightly different on TC and for the better!

Keep us posted :)

Will do man
 
getting a harsh vape on these settings (tried them both)

210 and 30J
230 and 40J

now on 220 and 28J- better
I said 210deg to 230deg and 30j to 40j you just have to find your sweet spot. The beauty of TC is that you find the temp you like and adjust your joules as you feel the need.

The higher the Joules the faster you reach your selected temperature?
 
I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to TC but I'm learning now that I have a proper TC device. The eVix VT was ok, it worked but this Wismec Reuleaux is something else. Anywhay.... I chucked this dual setup together on the Bellus quickly this morning and it's performing brilliantly with Complex Chaos Freaky Loops on Cotton Bacon v2

3mm ID
28g Nickel 200
10 Wrap dual
0.10 ohms
