Show us your Builds - Kayfun, Russians & Similar

Thanks for the advice!

I didn't think of it that way.
Definitely something to ponder over.
I'll give it a think and bash and let you know what I come up with.

First thing though is to find out how to make one. I have no idea how to. :eek:
Here you go: video link
 
Well what do we have here?

Only finished the build now.
28g Kanthal. Don't know the amount of wraps. Came out to 0.8 ohm.

Vaping it at 12.5w on the 134.
Initial impression are good. Flavour is fantastic! Having a mix of vk cheesecake and vk caramel toffee.
Think it needs to "gunk" up a bit still.
The coil heats up very quickly. Not a warm Vape at all. Its actually very cool.

What I did was I Placed the coil in place and tightened it down. Having left a gap between the coil and deck, I think took two strands of cotton an placed it under the coil, then moved them to the sides to leave the air channel open.

Then I tightened the chimney on and took two thick strands and placed them over the coils, again moving them to the side a little bit to prevent the channel from being smothered.
Between each step I poured a drop or two of juice on to make it stick nicely.

Once I was happy, I closed it up, filled it up and started vaping.
I'll give it a couple hours to break in and see how it progresses.

Thanks very much.

The coil doesn't look "pretty" at all. but does the job.
I can't get it to look anything like Rips coil or the others on the forum. I think I have two left hands or something. ha ha.

its a very difficult coil to build. It was rewarding to get it done at least.

I know what you mean man.. at the end of the day its about the vape not the looks

next up you gotta try the hurricane coil, similar method to that of the stove top if I remember correctly

I can already picture what that is. :lol:

That will be a whole whack easier than the stove top.
Sounds like a fun build!

Don't think I built the stove top correctly. I actually started getting flooding late in the evening. I was expecting the opposite ironically.

Pulled it out and built a nano coil.

1.5mm ID.
9 wraps.
Came out to 1.4 ohms

Has fantastic flavour and great cloud production!
Unfortunately didn't take any photos.
 
Can't quite make out the graph. My american sux. :lol:

but I'm guessing its not a nano?
There is a mm column as well. Yes, nano is 1.024 mm and smaller. Micro coil is between 1.588 and 1.149, but 1.5 is probably the most popular ID for micro coils.
 
Seriously impressed with this cana. Its vaping like a beast.

Got a clone Russian 91% with it.
Coiled it up and having vk4 at 12.5w at the moment.

8 wraps.
1.5mm ID
1.1 ohm.

very nice-looking coil.

i see these pics and i wonder, the first thing i would do is replace the Phillips screws with ss Allens. ...i have an aversion to Phillips screws.

If only we could get them.
 
Cant we get a local place to get us some screws in bulk and we do a group buy im down to my last
 
What size are they? i think i noticed M4 mentioned somewhere here. i can get M4 and bigger. Length?
316 ss Allen/cap head screws. Although they're about 1mm [?] higher than a Phillips head like those -i don't know whether that would affect anything.
Low-head Allens would be better but are not available in ss.
But, they don't have to be so tight, so button heads would be fine. (Means one size smaller Allen key) and they round out easily too tight, but that's not an issue in this application; they're just holding little light coils/wire, and there's no vibration.
 
ok, but they must be longer than 1.6mm. M5 starts at 8mm length; i suppose M4 would too, but if they're too long, it's quite easy to cut them and clean the start of the thread.
 
Sounds like we can make it work. How much dallas are we talking
