Vape porn - coil builds
- Thread starter Marzuq
- Start date
Fused Clapton with a triple 24 awg core and wrapped with 32 awg @.35 ohms. Good vape but don't really notice a difference from my staged heating Clapton with dual core paralleled with 24 awg. In fact the paralleled may ever be better. 
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Claptons are great. Fused Claptons are greater. But nothing, IMO, beats a simple 3mm ID 22g or 24g surface area build. I've experimented with builds for over a year now, and I think the fun in fancy coils are when you build them. But when it comes down to Vaping, a simple micro/macro with the right wattage is the best.

You lie you bugger, you lie - that is way too perfect to be hand wrapped!Did my first nickel build tonight
2.5mm ID 28g 0.12ohm
I was expecting more of a challenge to wrap the coils and get the spacing correct but was rather easy, even with a hand wrap
Gonna give it a Vape on my newly acquired iStick TC40W from Beyond Vapour, thanks @Tiaan

That is very high above the air hole - is that how you prefer it?
Lol, I promise it's hand wrapped... I have the drill bit to prove it.
Jip, it was a bit high. I moved it down a bit now.

Just finished alien Clapton 3*24 wrapped with 32 and couldn't wait to tell you guys about what an absolute bi**h to build. This was my fourth attempt. I do use my 3rd one but I was too embarrassed to post it here. The coil is intimidating as once you make a mistake you just have to deal with it and move on. You can't fix it. Anyway will mount it soon

Two strands twisted 32g twisted over 28g kanthal, flattened by running flat pliers down the length removing the ridges. 6 wraps, 0.86ohm.
Amazing blues and purple colors on the coil witch can't be seen very well in the pic.

That looks sexy. How does it vape?

Very nice, got it in the Derringer on the 40w istick running on 25-28w. Nice warmish vape and good flavour as well
Aaaaaand another one, the so called Winch Coil. Have not tested her yet so can't report anything yet 
but it looks interesting!

Looks great. Cannot get my head around how you do it though. How is the twisted connected to the not-twisted?Aaaaaand another one, the so called Winch Coil. Have not tested her yet so can't report anything yet

Wrap the centre and then twist the ends while it's still on whatever you wrapped it around.
Or at least that's how I would do it.
Sent from my mind
Oh, yeah - so you start in the middle and work towards both ends.
I believe so

Jip, that's it... Basically a parallel build but keep the coil on the drill bit or screw driver and give both ends a spin in the drill. Came to 0.92 ohm with 28g kanthal.
Yeah that's it, there is a video on YouTube, one by a scary looking redneck and another by some Greek looking guy?!
I'm busy working on something, but I'll need to get a blow torch. Kanthal becomes quite brittle when you hammer it and I'll need to heat it up to anneal it.

Does this count as vape porn cause In my mind it does 
Decided to throw some Claptons in the Doge today... 24g/30g, 2.5mm ID, 6 wraps and one hell of atight squeeze... but i did manage to get them to fit. weighing in @ 0.27 Ohm....
I find the flavour really good on desert type liquids, like custards and creams, but fruity flavours come forth a bit harsh... anyone know the reason behind this?
