I get that, but here's also some, to whom building can be a bit daunting, and frustrating
I love building coils. Could do it all day, if I didn't have to worry about making money to survive.

Nice! Hows the vape?
Was like Thunderstorm clouds over the highveld... both cloudy and hot.
I like for occasions, but most definitely not for a ADV... To hot for that --> me don't like hot vapes, just nice and warm is good for ADV. I have 2 KF's one with a dual build sub-ohm for playing and one with a 1.2 - 1.3 ohm for ADV.
Awesome, I still need to try a dual coil in mine sometime but for now I just stick with what works... time to play is min
Ek hoor jou....
Great coiling there.
Strange i can hardly taste my kayfun north of about 0.75 ohms
So let me see if I understand. If you build a proper coil, so no shorts etc. and you don't build it at extremely low ohms. Then there's no chance of a battery exploding?
Depends on the battery in question, but if you're using a good 30A battery, under normal use, yes... But I'd wager that if the battery had very little charge remaining, and you were to hold the fire button down for longer than say 10 seconds, it'd start to heat up.
Also from what I've read, and experienced, your mod has a lot to do with it. a copper mod has less chance of heating up when you sub-ohm, because its more conductive than a SS mod. (I'm generalising, in a pretty big way)
For example, my astro's button gets a bit warm if I go below 0.18 ohms, my batteries are healthy, so i think its the spring in the button heating up because its resistance is too high for it to efficiently fire a coil that low. The Stingray X i just ordered is copper, and has a magnetic switch, so it should be able to run builds at that resistance or slightly lower, without heating up.
If you want to know more, fire up a new thread, so we don't derail this one too much.

great looking coils. 
I know I said I'll do another split coil, and I will, but I have an infatuation with parallel coils ATM
Kayfun Lite Plus V1 (Parallel build)
Wire: 28AWG Kanthal
Wraps: 8 (parallel)
ID: 1.3mm
OHM's: 0.63
It's pretty untidy, I still need to get better at wrapping parallel. But its working really well, coil heats up super fast, and covers a nice large area, so you can take quick deep hits, and get plenty of vapor. Throat hit (Bearing in mind I'm using juice mixed with glycerin) is really intense, don't think it'd be comfortable on an unmixed juice. I'm using NicEJuice Mint 9mg mixed 2:3 with glycerin, and i'm getting really good flavour still. (Steeping the juice after mixing is the key, I've found)

oooh nice. bet that rocks the kafun
Does indeed, loving it.
Actually wish the post holes on my Stillare, were big enough to do a parallel 24AWG build. Depend on it too heavily to risk drilling and breaking it but when my vulcan arrives, that'll change
but when my vulcan arrives, that'll change
yar, all i want for christmass is huge huge post holes pretty please
Lots of spookpis and drill very very slowly with new bits and you should be good. With stainless all you need is time and a cool drill bit
True that

sup Dudes and Dudettes....
So this afternoon I popped into Vape King to see what new stock came through the doors. Ended up walking out with my first rebuildable atomiser. Kayfun 3.1 Clone.
2 hours later, I finally got home and couldnt wait to build my first coil. (The pics are my second coil, I didnt like the look of the first one)
26g Kanthal
2.0mm ID
12 Wraps
0.80 Ohms (says the SVD)
Let me know what u guys think
yuss... I must say, coming from a nautilus, this thing kicks like a mule!

Great coiling, Enjoy.
Lol, other than trying an even bigger ID (like 3mm or more), not much you can do. Best would be to use 28g wire. But give a bigger ID a shot, some forumites like it.
Unboxed my Kayfun 3.1 Clone properly this afternoon, and saw there's some pre coiled wicks in there. Should have checked properly from the beginning
Anyways, put the first one in the Kayfun, 3.7Ohm. After some uncoiling and snipping (its damn ugly but it works) I got it down to 1.9Ohm. Popped it on the BEC Pro, and holy vapes. The flavour is fantastic. I can taste the strawberry right on the tip of my tongue with every drag.
FANTASTIC!
