The Cyclone Thread

[Silver]

Super @Rob Fisher !
Glad you liking it
I must give that Cyclops a try again. You have inspired me

Felt a bit sciency this morning and went and built a dual coil in my cyclops.

28g a1 kanthal twisted. First time I use this ready made twisted kanthal.(even my usual 6 wrap single coil comes out 0.1ohm lower with this kanthal, I'm guessing its because its not wrapped as tightly as when i twist is myeslf)
2mm ID
9 wraps
0.4ohm

heres what she reads

heres what she looks like all lit up

here i have her wicked. single piece of rayon running through both coils

here we have her saturated and firing like a monster

ok so this setup was a success but also a failure as its way too hot for my vamping style.
was worth the time and effort to build.
im recoiling and wicking a single 0.5ohm tho

The 0.5 single should be hotter than the 0.4 dual
The power is shared on the duals, so lower power per coil, but two coils, so more surface area

Let us know if this is what you experience practically...

the 0.5ohm single coil was too hot for my vaping style. the heat of the vape was too much for my chest to handle.
the cual coil 0.4ohm did feel hotter to me. prob good to note that i took a 4-5 second toot each time. goofy style.
my happy place is at 0.6ohm though

I think I should have posted this in the LO's thread!

Nice one @Rob Fisher .you a winner for just making a video. Cloud was looking good too

I have discovered true lung inhales and loving it! I haven't been the biggest fan of the Cyclops vs the Cyclone and feel the Cyclone has better flavour and it pretty much does in my opinion... there is no doubt the Cyclops is for the dual coilers and lung hitters...

But because my Gold Cyclops is so beautiful on top of my White SL I have persevered with it despite the drop in flavour (drop is maybe the wrong word and change in flavour is probably more accurate). I have had it on the single hole so it's pretty similar to the Cyclone tighter draw...

OK so the point of this whole story is when I go fishing it's hard to vape and fish at the same time so I tend to do a few big lung hits and then put the Reo down or in my pocket and continue fishing...It's impossible to do a really big lung inhale on the Cyclone with Menthol Ice because it's very likely that your head will explode... but doing it on the Cyclops is way easier... so for the last 24 hours I have been playing with lung inhales after my day on the water and really starting to enjoy it...

I was chatting to Hi Ho @Silver this morning and he asked whether I had the AFC setting on one of the slits but being a new convert I had it on the small hole and was letting air in through my mouth at the same time...so I changed the Cyclops to the single slit with my normal coil and have been vaping that ever since! Beautiful vape and huge clouds (well for me anyway)... so now I change between the Cyclone and Cyclops!

You are getting there. One of these days you will have duals in there and have both slits wide open.

 

[Silver]

Great video @Rob Fisher !
I like the way you had the cool music in the background - far from Nora Jones though
The credits were cool too
Well done - awesome.

 

[Yiannaki]

Awesome video @Rob Fisher I'm see you too are seeing the light with the lung hits!

Thanks for sharing with us

 

[Rob Fisher]

I have a problem now... I have really started to love the lung inhale of the Cyclops on a single coil with the air slit full open... why is this a problem you ask? Well glad you asked... it's because there is now a much bigger cloud coming out of my mouth and it's just too big of a cloud to blow in a public place...



Last night I took Lily with the golden cyclops out to dinner and it was pretty much impossible to do a ninja vape at the table and I had to get up and go outside to vape... it felt like old times standing outside blowing clouds. Even blowing the cloud into my t-shirt didn't work like it normally does when ninja vaping... the clouds just billowed out of my t-shirt and I looked like I was the burning bush!

So now when I go out I have to take Avril with the Cyclone and Lily with the Cyclops...

 

[Rob Fisher]

Team Cyclops!

Lily and Golden Cyclops with Tropical Ice - My main Squeeze!
Kiera and the new Black Cyclops with Fight your Fate.
Brooklyn with the other Golden Cyclops with Unflavoured Zero nic to practice cloud blowing. Need to change this to a dual coil.

hi guys. so as i was doing a coil and wick change at my desk this morning i noticed that tat the top o-ring on the cyclone base was worn and broken.
i put the cycops cap back on and it fits perfectly but i dont like knowing there is an o-ring missing. any ideas where i can get a new o-ring or the size and thickness of this one so i can get some spares locally?

They are the most expensive pieces of rubber in the world at R25-90 plus shipping from the UK.

I do have a couple of spares I ordered with my last shipment. Will send you one when I next ship something to CT. Unless you are really OCD like me and want it now and want to pay courier fees?

thanks @Rob Fisher i really appreciate that. i will be going to some of the places i know do o-rings to look for replacements locally. ill keep you posted on what i find and possibly get some extras in case anyone needs some

That looks interesting, how is the vape?

 

[Marzuq]

That looks interesting, how is the vape?

Not what I expected. It's warmer than the standard method. Very smooth actually. I expected the throat hit to be a bit harsher. Vapour production is more and I can taste the sweet part of the vm4 a little more . Very happy with the coil.

The only downside is it eats at the juice so I have to squonk more frequently.

My battery is at the point where I feel I need to change it but because of the nice warmth of the vape I don't see the need to change it out as yet

 

[Marzuq]

Ok so I was a little bored and got to messing around a little.

Here's a 28 gauge kanthal 2 wrapped in 0.5mm flat kanthal wire.
6 wraps









At 0.8ohm the nic hit is barely noticeable. Throat hit is ok and flavour is average. As you can see tons of vapour.

I reckon 5 wraps will be ideal
I'll re wrap while at work but for now I'm just going to enjoy this build for what it is

slight ammendment. i changed the battery out to a fully charged battery. throat hit is definitely more than average.
vape is more dry so this is a good thing where tobacco is concerned.

 

[Marzuq]

so just got to work. and decided to fit Lima with a 5 wrap coil
0.5mm flat kanthal wrapped around 28guage round kanthal
2mm ID
rayon wick
comes out to a cool 0.65ohm ----> thats a clear 0.2 ohm drop from 6 wraps to 5 wraps





i will not be risking vaping this setup in the office as the 0.84 ohm chucked out alot of vapour. will go out shortly and report back my findings

findings....
at 0.65ohm this setup is perfect...
throat hit - harder than expected but awesome
flavour - VM4 ... still dry. clear sweetness on the inhale and nice dry tobacco on the exhale. perfect in my opinion
chest hit.... cough cough

i took 5 goofy vapes and i was satisfied. definitely worth a try guys

Nice coiling there @Marzuq
Love the experimentation and report backs on each coil.
Just a question, what nic strength are you vaping?

On the issue of your one worn Cyclone seal
I am no Cyclone expert but I do recall some folk saying somewhere they removed the one seal to make it easier to put the cap on and take it off.
(not sure if it was the Cyclone, could have been another atty though)

@Silver i vape 6mg nic juices but this nic hit felt a little stronger than normal for me

wrt the seal. i liked the tightness of the cap. made me feel alot more at ease knowing its on preoperly and wont leak while in my pocket.

i am enjoying the coil building experiments too.

Great coiling, you certainly got the coiling itch.
