The Serpent Mini 22 and 25 Build Thread

Using Nichrome, do you make use of temp ?
No, its not suitable for TC due to its flat "resistance change" curve, ie the mod doesnt see enough resistance change to pull back the power.
Its very happy on wattage mode, doesnt melt at medium temps like SS and nickel.
 
I am using cbv2. When i build a bigger id it is not this thirsty.

Very Odd , do you get less airflow with the smaller ID ? I know recommended build is 3-3.5mm ID Ni80 24g .... but I do suspect this tank is thirsty either way ;)
 
I think I got confused with Nickel and Nichrome, will be getting Nichrome instead of SS
 
Airflow is fine and dandy for flavor and cloud. It is just heavy on the juice. Oh and i get juice in my tip neck. . Not sure why.

Maybe that's the perception you getting. More cotton means it needs less out of the tank where as less cotton pulls more out as it dries out more?

Thought I would add my build here.
24 GA kanthal twisted
7 wraps
3.5 mm ID
0.45 ohms
Dove cotton (lol)
30 W limitless lmc box mod
P.s This coil was not intended for this tank, hence the weird upside down wraps.

This build does not have the same flavor as my 24 GA non twisted kanthal 7 wrap build but man it's a cloud machine!
 
Congrats on your first coil today @Paraddicted
Way to go!
Hope you enjoying the vape so far
 
Thanks @Silver, I'm enjoying it! It's a thirsty little tank though. :eek: but so much fun :D

I agree, it is very thirsty
I think that has a lot to do with the flavour that many folk like on this tank !
 
Even with the coil being raised a tad too much it, there is a change in the flavour, so I can just imagine how good it will be when I drop the coil a bit.

I have not experimented with coil height in the SM25 but give it a try and see
@Yiannaki knows his builds and has a great feeling for build versus flavour ;-)

Experimenting is half the fun :D might just end up with the kind of vape that keeps you smiling from ear to ear.

Hmm looking forward to seeing some pics of @Yiannaki 's builds

@Yiannaki - your builds are just amazing!

hows the vape with that fused clapton compared to "normal" wire say 24g NI80 for example?
Ramp time?
Flavour?

What power you using for it?
And what juice you vaping?

The vape is really different to 24g Ni80. I personally hate nichrome

I find the overall flavour of this build to be far more full bodied than something like nichrome.

It's also a very warm vape and the vapour is thick and luscious:D

Thanks, very interesting
And what power are you vaping it at?
And what juice? Is it a dessert?

Oh woops. Forgot to mention that.

I run it between 40 - 45 watts and I am vaping bfb straight Outta the toaster (a strawberry stroodle flavour)

Ok thanks
At that wattage, do you take long slow inhales to get the coil going?
Surely its quite a slow ramped at 40-45W?
 
I found that fused claptons have a slower ramp up compared to single wire. I prefer a cooler vape so stick to single wire.

I'm running on the sx mini q class on the powerful plus setting so the heat up of the coil is instant :D

That looks amazing! Thick vapour + great flavor sounds like checking all the boxes.

Do you by chance know how many wraps of Ni80 would give 0.3 ohms?
I know with nichrome I get 0.3 on a dual with 9 wraps. So I'm guessing four or so wraps will get you 0.3 on a single.

I'm of the opinion that surface area is king. So I would rather stick with more wraps than less.

Try a 2.5mm ID with 9 wraps.

A parallel wrapped coil should he interesting on the serpent mini!

I use 26G Ni80 and with 7wraps I get 0.38hohms. dual coil though. just remembered you are single coil.

Did a parallel 28g kanthral , 7 wraps I think came to 0.5 quite a nice vape and juice consumption is quite good .....
