Hi @Reinhardt. What difference does the twisted kanthal make?
Great coiling, and hand twisted, well done. Time for that 20 W mod!
lowers resistance
Why not then use lower gauge wire?
coz with the twisted method, the coil burns hotter, burning more juice which makes better flavor and vapor
Mostly better flavour due to more surface area.
and it looks much prettier 
I have done a vertical coil on the rocket. Definitely need to try it on my Aqua.Oh my goodness there are some awesome coils here. Truly inspiring.
I have been rebuilding this Aqua RBA a few times already and decided to give it a Vertical coil. Strangely enough the it seems to form to a vertical coil more readily than horizontal. I got some Nichrome 0.12mm wire the other day and it was so thin I could not think of what to do. So just decided after seeing some dudes twisting the wire, to try a double twisted Nichrome build. The coils are double twisted and have 7/8 wraps. The resistance came to 2.1 after the build, so that would be 4.2 per a coil.
Anyways, this puppy has huge vapor, mellow taste and medium TH. I chase the clouds so I prefer the large volume clouds. Vaping it at 4.3 Volts on my iTaste VV/VW. The vertical coils in my opinion perform much better than horizontal on this Aqua. I have to however get some kanthal some how, somewhere because it is almost impossible to compress a micro coil with this Nichrome.
Here is some pics, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all, rocking thread.
Just a pic showing the pins holding the vert coils in place after tightening them down.
Pic showing the puppies glowing.
Pic showing the cotton wick passed through center and tucked into channels. Definitely room for improvement here.
Picture showing how it throws off vapor.
Awesome thanks y'all for the happy vapes and good times. Thanks for your advice and guidance, without which I would be like Steve Wonder in Hooters.

Yes, but on a mech the 32 g triple twisted is great. 28 g triple twisted is too slow out of the blocks even on a mech.
me too haha
now i need an electric drill (does the list ever stop with vape gear??? i know for @Rob Fisher there is no end to the list

No that's where I draw a large line in the sand... no drill for me... last time I played with a drill I drilled through the hot water pipe in my kids bathroom! That can't be classified as fun at all!
Yes but just to hold it on one end. So if you can clamp the one end onto something you don't need anyone else
The flavour is amazing! And so smooth!
Lovely photos @Reinhardt - they do a great job at explaining the process!
Thanks! You got to love technology.
Awesome coils guys. I've got to try that twisted coil. Tx for the step by step @Reinhardt
