The Serpent Mini 22 and 25 Build Thread

[mots01]

Also getting a bit of air lock and muted taste on serpent mini 25.
Chatted to big guy who said my coil is too low.
Bubbles when I open the top cap and flavour increases.
Will try moving the coil up and post

Can believe that. I find if its too low then it blocks the airflow and taste is muted

I had this airlock issue when I was using a 7 wrap 3mm nichrome build. For some reason I could not get it to wick and had to open the top to get bubbles.
Since then I switched to a 3mm 5 wrap alien build with the same wicking as the nichrome and now I get loads of wicking bubbles - no dry hits

So yesterday was time to do some cleaning and recoiling of the SM25. And then this happened....

Cracked my Glass and then put in the spare and dropped it and that cracked too... Serpent mini is now dead

Seriously in love with the SM25
Single coil deck beautiful flavour with my fruity menthols. And it is so forgiving my wicking sux but with this tank and cotton bacon v2 no dry hits on any of my builds yet.

Also popped in the dual coil base with some cereal juice and this tank has clouds in abundance. Now trying mtl with airflow open to a dot and single coil and seems to do the trick. So versatile and makes me smile after every drag

Noice , please do share your build for the MTL setup more of a MTL guy myself so this is great news!

Well my option is to buy 2 glasses = 240 with shippin.
Option 2 - Buy another sm25 and use that spare glass in broken one and have 2.

hmmm

Good combo right there

My 2 cents, xxx likes a single coil build and scream on dual coils

Thanks for the heads up. Guess the scream will go in the mage then.

So because of @Rob Fisher i took the plunge and got me a SM25 SS
Five Points Pink milk , so i know how this taste on Goon spaced 26 guage .51 cricket v2 kanthal awesome

Round 1
Used twisted coils that came with and the jap cotton, wicked ,only tasted cotton i let it sit still cotton taste.

Round 2
Jap cotton ,twisted coils again and the flavour still muted faint strawberry coming though not what am use to.

Round 3
Cotton bacon twisted coils, a bit better but still not to my liking with some spit back

Round 4
Cotton bacon , NCV burst twisted coils nurtured the cotton cut flush with outer circle tucked not to much in the juice gap and viola!!!

Am happy with the flavour and will tinker some more simple to wick

Thanks

Found 0.33 ohms at spaced 4 wraps 3mm 24g ni80.

Wasn't very pretty but it's doing the job, nice clouds without compromising the flavour. Vaping at 45w which is a new for me, usually stick at around 30-33w. Tried 4 wrap parallels but couldn't get them seated properly.

Great stuff, keep on tinkering. You will eventually find your favourite build.

I think this might just be my favorite. The fascination with huge clouds has not faded yet.

I do 3.5mm coils @Paraddicted
Seems to make more clouds than 3mm. 7 wrap nichrome

I'll have to find a 3.5mm screw driver to try this out!

Any Hardware store grab a 3.5 mm drill bit works like a charm
The back part of drill bits (part that goes in chuck) works like a dream for coil builds

Got a garage full of tools just need to look in the mix if not will get that drill bit.

Thank you

Just wrap the cutting side with some tape. Can be hard on the fingers. Tried 4mm as well, but not so great on the SM25. Loads of spitback.

Will keep it in mind. And also the Id size so not to build too big and avoid spit back cos as amazing as most of the juices are as vapour it's not as nice in liquid form haha

 

[DougP]

Just on a side note
I bought 2.5mm and 3mm drill bits and some Pratleys quick dry steel putty and made myself these two coil jigs
Took 30 min and they work like a charm

 

[Kalashnikov]

So until my serpent glasses arrive. In the interim I have converted my obs engine to somewhat of a top airflow serpent .

 

[Rob Fisher]

Having tried cheap special coils and been really disappointed with them I thought I was destined to just use normal coils... enter @Yusuf Cape Vaper and his Coil Empire Coils... I mugged him at the Vape King opening and managed to wrestle a little bottle of two Fused Claptons from him!

One coil went into the Hadalay and the other one is going into one of my much loved Serpent Mini 25's!


Firing the new build at 34 watts, 0.51Ω and the flavour is brilliant... I need to get me some more of these!

Lakker man , do share your thoughts , builds etc ..... think I need to rewick mine been afraid to as I got the wicking just right on this one after some troubles ... word of advise stick to it use CBV2 and you shoudn't have a problem
