@Alex , my exact same build in the Nuppin, only difference is a 2mm diameter. Also low ohms. This wire is amazing.Trying out some new wire on the Nuppin, Nichrome 80 with a 2.5mm coil using 0.5mm wire. Ohms read @ 0.25
After a full day of use I'm hooked, the performance of this Nichrome is really amazing, lightning fast ramp up times and great flavour.

No idea from my side @Silver.
I'm still riding the SS train.
I've tried NI 200 for the temp sensing but I find it irritates my throat. I might be allergic to nickel according to the Internet.

I use a bit of Ni80 28ga & 26ga sometimes, Only issue I have with them, if any, is when I use it for some parallel builds and the extra wraps for the same ohm value target as KA1 sometimes becomes an available space problem in some RDA's. With Nuppin's it's only with the extra high center flavor builds I like in The V2's though.
Tonight I made my first paracoil on the Nuppin.
It is just glorious. And I have a big grin on my vape face!
Am dedicating this post to our special international member @Spydro who inspired me to do it.
Decided to go for a 28g para. Kanthal. Around a tiny 1.6mm because I like it crisp.
Wasn't easy to get the coil inserted. I toiled for quite a while. It's so funny I 'lost' my favouritd screwdriver and I was looking for it everywhere to help me prod the one wire into the hole. I even asked HRH to help me look for it. Then I realised I had wrapped the coil on it. Haha..
Ok, coil is in. We getting somewhere! 0.52 ohms. Perfect. But the coil looks so untidy!
Ok, coil tidied up a bit and bunny ears pose.
Apply some lube. All looking good.
Load juice. None other than Mr Hardwicks Debbie Does Donuts which I am reviewing. (I need to test lung hits for this juice.)
Oh my gosh. This is special. The flavour is very very good. Lots of clouds!
Hells Bells! The Nuppin with a paracoil is a machine of note! The coil is virtually in my mouth. Haha. This is going to be lots of fun.
You can see the coil peeking out the hole. Hehe
Rocking and rolling. Thanks @Spydro

@Silver . Nice high top center build on a V1... you did good your first try, earned all the credit.
A little something I'll mention (again?) that should help you installing a parallel on a Nuppin' easier/faster next time (without your fav screwdriver )... First, lightly twist your 2 wire tails per side into just one wire per side to deal with instead of two. Normally the negative down leg is left about 8mm long for horizontal builds... but leave it longer for a high center build to be at the height you want it when installed. To get that height, measure or easier yet use the cap sitting on the flange of a V1 alongside the base and use the top of the AFC sleeve height as a guide. On a V1 as long as the top of your coil is kept below the top of the AFC sleeve some it will not short out on the inner top of the chamber (but still check it with an ohm meter cap on before you fire the build). Next, pre form the positive tails into a hook as in the picture to approximate level with the deck when the down leg is in the deck. To install, slide the negative down legs into the deck first (but don't tighten); the spin the coil to thread the positive legs through the positive post. If needed lift the coil to the height above the center post you want and snug the negative legs enough to hold the height. Hold the coil slightly off the positive post to tighten the positive legs, recenter the coil over the positive post and do a final snug on the negative grub screw.
It can all be done putting the positive legs in first too, but I find it much easier the first way that also does not mess up to coil like the second way can. After you've done this build a couple to a few times it will be quite easy for you to do, you'll be a NupParaPro and maybe it will become your flavor build for the Nuppin' like it is for some of mine.
A little different method used for a V2, but the principle is the same.

Ah, thanks @Spydro
Much appreciated
I first tried doing the positive first - and then that didnt work
So then i did the negative first, but tightened instead of leaving loose.
Then I was in trouble on the positive. And I think that defomed the coil a bit.
I also had some difficulty seeing the legs - lol - i need that light magnifying thing that Rob and Andre have.
Then when the positive was in one has to tighten the positive, so move the coil out the way first. Lol.
It is quite a challenge the first time!
One has a sense of achievement once its done though
Your "hook" picture helps. Thanks!

Nice work @Silver.
I got FOMO yesterday as well and build dual 2.5mm ID SS coils in the nuppin as it's been in my cuboard for a while.
This build is also a flavour beast for me.
I would really like to try a para coil but I have the v2 and building too high leads to drip tip plastic hits
I tried a drip tip to change things up since I have been using cyclones exclusively and I was horrified. The drip tip was almost bigger than the nuppin.
So reverted back to the slightly melted drip tip (the base is discolored) because no drip tip I own sits as snugly in there.
All the bought drip tips are very loose.

If I may detract slightly the v3 has long legs for winding and I tend to insert coils, tighten and then use the long leg inside the coil to push, pull and position the coil.
E.g a coil in the Aromamizer.
Inserted and tightened. Note the closeness to the posts.
Here comes the v3 inserted, coil straightened and pulled outwards.
End result before dry firing.

Man, I've got to try one of those paracoils top mounted in the Nup'.
Every build I've done in that atty has been killer for flavour, so I've just never felt the need to move away from a standard dual setup. BTW, pro tip from the supplier himself (pdib): build symmetrical duals but then push one up a smidge and one down the same to get a rounder flavour profile (great for more complex juices, I find).
But dem monocoils - very tempting. I'll prolly try a twisted first (which is also a parallel) to get the placement technique nailed.

One coil is always higher than the other one when I'm building on the nuppin and I'm always "lazy" to correct it.
Makes perfect sense now!
Also I'm a 3mg nic kinda person but I'm using 12mg nic and I can't even feel the throat hit on the nuppin.
Yup - it goes against contemporary best practices in terms of build symmetry, but it works for me. If you get it just right, the coils fire the same and are cooled the same, but one has predominant air over it and the other under it. With the right juice (eg, I do a pretty complex absinthe/fruit mix), you can really get all the notes right.
Get one more off-plane with respect to the air than the other, though, and you'll get asymmetrical cooling which will cause some issues.
That is why I gave up on the Nuppin - no throat hit, which I cannot go without.
I'm not a fan of putting things that don't belong in places they shouldn't be
I mean I like to wash the atty after every 6ml of juice so everything comes out and scrubbed.
I'll give it another try.
Adjust the coil(s) height. You'll find TH.
If I recall@Andre sold his nuppin and bought ALL the ol 16's.
Oh, I did. Tried many different setups on the Nuppins, to no avail. Then I discovered the OL16, which suits my needs perfectly. Sold all my Nuppins in the end.

Heh - not according to your posts in the Squonk Gear thread
The dental floss hack works. It's even good for loose reo button covers. My advice - use waxed as it holds the contour of the dt better (less springy).
Nice save - if there's one atty that punches in the same weight class with comparable skill, it's the O-16.
Let me rephrase, if it's original design is not a good fit then I'm not a fan.Heh - not according to your posts in the Squonk Gear thread

Some things are stretchy and invite an inquiring mind to well, inquire as it were.
