Looks awesome - still extremely neat for an excited guy, TylerD. Vape compared to the Kayfun?

You're comparing a single coil to a dual. Both use a chimney style funneled delivery.

Yes, comparing a dual to single. Not ideal.
I must say that the Aqua isn't a all day device. It is a long range dripper. :D
It is a juice hog and with the small tank, it doesn't last long. But worth it.
It will not replace my Kayfun lite and Dingo. So compact and an awesome vape.
The Aqua is an awesome "dripper" for night time vapes!

You posted this at 03:34 - still on USA time:). Seems to me the chimney style funneled delivery is the best. Effectively creating a very small atomizer chamber? That is maybe why small atomizers (like the RM2 and Igo-S) are not too bad? Does the iThaka work on the same principle?
 
@TylerD that aqua looks awesome! If you didn't buy that one I would have jumped on it!

Ithaka does work on the same principle.
Funny enough, the Kayfun has the smallest diameter chimney.

This I believe is where the great flavor comes from.

ok so my first build on the Crown - it was a mess , so was 2nd , 3rd and 4th , i just could not get the dam thing to fire up , kept telling me that i had a .5 ohm coil but i had 2 coils , so i was doing something wrong , dunno yet , need to find somebody who can explane the coil dynamics ..
So i descided to go big or go home .. check this out >> oh an this did work like a webber braai on steroids and i hit it with Five Pawns - Gambit , Oh My Sainted Aunt , stand freeking back , i am having a mangazim ..20140108_003457.jpg
 
@Matthee yes I saw the aqua clone on slowtech for $20, I placed the order yesterday so it should be here in about 2 months... (if i'm lucky hahahaha) - I have the worst luck in the world with shipping, even speed services overnight delivery manages to take a week to get to me!

Remember Rowan, if you do a dual coil, you half the ohms....
1.0 ohm + 1.0 ohm = 0.5 ohm on a dual.
Looks good for a first build! Enjoy every moment brother! It just gets better!
 
i think that the SVD cuts out below 1.2 ohms anyway. I have not been that low yet, the last 2 microcoils were at 1.3 and 1.5 ohms. and i make single coils only, up to now at least.
 
1.2 does not work on an SVD. I built my first coil, it came out at 1.2. The SVD reads the coil ohms but will not fire.

So, for a dual coil on the SVD you have to have 2.5 + 2.5 = 1.25 for the SVD to fire.
Edit: Seeing @The Golf's remarks, maybe 2.6 + 2.6 = 1.3 will be better then for the SVD.

so I was on the edge with my 1.3 ohm mc :D had it in the SVD for 2 weeks and fired fine all the time.
 
I havnt tried a 1.25 ohm coil it should work as the cutoff is at 1.2 but having said that the svd does not read 2 decimals so it may still see 1.2

my current mc reads 1.4 ohm, happy with it. 12 wraps, 28 kanthal, on a 1.5 drill bit. will go next time one more wrap.
 
ok so the next question is , how do i make 2 coils at 3 ohms each to give a 1.5 ohm reading ????

why don't you want to go for a single microcoil at 1.5 ohm? the crown does have the airflow option for both, single or dual, or not? I found it very easy to do the MC, and with the second attempt I was successful. The first one was too low (0.8 ohm).

Here is a video on how to build a micro coil (MC). You do not need the jig, a C-clamp and 1.5 mm drill bit works just as well.

I'll give it to you for the twisted coil, but you're not going to utilize this atty to it's full potential that way even if you did get it to fire.

Your first oops here is that the resistance is obviously to low - as the others have pointed out for the SVD. (Number one reason people use mechs for these things.)

Second oops here is that all the action is only going to happen on the one side. As you noticed, there will always be two air holes open. While it's not a train smash, ideally you're going to want to have two coils on opposite ends to utilize the air holes properly and get them right in front of each coil.

If you have 32g wire, creating 2 x 3ohm coils should not be too difficult. You'll need to cut roughly 66mm/6.6cm
of wire for each coil. So 2 pieces of wire roughly 66mm long. Doesn't really matter how many wraps you do, it's the length of the wire that counts. This should add up to 1.5ohms in total resistance. Do two separate coils on opposite ends. Forget about twisting wires and micro coils and what not for now. Just a simple build will do the trick.

30g wire requires 2 x 105mm wires in length

28g wire requires 2 x 165mm wires in length

As you can see I hope you have some 32g wire.

Hope this helps
 
Many thanks , i have made a call and will go fetch some 32g shortly plus anything else that strikes my fancy !! love shopping for my new hobby .
