That looks awesome for a first coil. Very well done!
I was surprised how tiny it is, but still so easy to do! Must say it does give a burnt flavour quickly. But I'll have to figure out the best coil setup! That's what it's all about tho! Experimenting! So excited
 
Igo-L: lacking the second airhole on the opposite, therefore I tried this setup. came out at 0.6 ohms, flavor and fumes are really good so far, but the topcap heats up much faster:

@Tom, try this. It's one piece 32g kanthal, 5/4 wrap, looped around center post, and another 5/4 wrap, to get to 1 ohm. I also only have one drilled out air hole, and positions it right in the center of the two coils. This way your top cap doesn't get hot at all. It's called a center post build and it works very well. Now that I received my 28g from VapeKing, I'll do the same, but with micro coils.

Sure, here you go. First pic, you can actually see it looping around the center post. The picture from the top didn't show much, so I dismantled it for the second pic. You're right, one piece kanthal, wrapped around a small screwdriver.20140203_162156.jpg

thanks man

im def giving this a try, seeing that my protank died on me im using the igol now all day which is chowing my juice like a mofo.

i rebuilt my steam turbine last night out of desperation but somehow i just cant get it to work properly.

i got it to a 1.7 ohm and used cotton as a wick. i think i might have used too much inside the tank and thats now blocking the juice from coming through to the coil.

so ya

Awesome looking setup. How does it vape?

It's by far my best performing coil to date. Getting some huge clouds and taste is enhance (In my previous coil the cotton was too thick) Also now using a 50PG/50VG juice from 75PG/25VG.

VG produces more clouds.
 
Had to do a wick replacement and dry burn, so I took some pics.
28g Kanthal, 8 wraps, 1.2 ohm, cotton.

Post dry burn:

Crown Dripper rebuild - had to re sort the center post out , had a issue as it seemed to be too loose and allowed juice to leak through . Rebuilt and loaded a 1.4a coil with 28g kanthal 10 wraps . 20140204_231055.jpg 20140204_230834.jpg
