My gosh, that looks vicious @brad511
How is the vape?
And what was the resistance of that ?
 
@BumbleBee the flavor is lovely :D priming the coils took forever lol but all in all its really nice as an occasional build.

@Silver it's definitely a Coil built for lung hits, but on the right RDA it works wonders. It read about 0.15 - 0.2ohm If I remember correctly.

Good to know, and again, great coiling there Brad :)
 
Got some serious porn going on in this thread http://www.ecigssa.co.za/need-some-advice-on-twisted-wire-builds.t16546/#post-288209

It's more than 20 large pictures, so I opted not to flood this thread and rather keep it contained!! :rofl::rofl:
Though I would appreciate you guys having a look and dropping any comments :p

@TheLongTwitch some nice builds there man :D a cool way of priming your twisted coils in advance is to use a mini 'blowtorch' lighter. That way you don't struggle with jumping ohms.

Just compress the coils with a pair of Pliers and burn them till they glow a few times. Ill see if I can find a video link to help you out, your cloupor 80w will appreciate it lol
 
@brad511 I know about using a blowtorch, I just don't own one yet :p

The Ohms didn't jump as much as the physical coils did!! :eek:
They were all tightly packed, but the second I started pulsing they had a mind of their own, warping out of shape o_O
hahaha
Granted...the twisted wires were 3+ strands of wire each and different gauges, so it was to be expected.

My main question is: Why did it taste so "earthy"? (More metal, is my only assumption:rofl:)

About the earthyness.

It seems very strange.
I have been nothing but impressed with twisted on both Kanthal and Stainless Steel.
I do make a point of washing all my wire. And making sure my hands are squeaky before wicking.

I've found that gives me cleaner flavor.

I clean the entire deck and Coil with dishwashing liquid and a toothbrush, best results to get rid of earthiness on my side at least. Agree qith the cleanliness of building, it makes a huge difference.

I also think it's all this damn Kenthal screwing us around lol. @TheLongTwitch the more metal the earthier unfortunately, I heard building with nichrome is better in that regard, I've never tried it myself.

Also, here's another build I tried :D with some editing...

Hey @Andre, jip... Twisted with the drill, blowtorched the wires then a tedious compressing session involving pliers, drill bit and tweezers.

They are still quite a bit springy even after they are torched before wrapped. When you pinch them with the tweezers they tend to shift on themselves.

So I keep them on the drill bit and torch them as closely spaced as possible. Then pinch them with the tweezers and torch for a few seconds.
 
Tried to make a new coil

4 wrap 24g box spaced coil coming in at 0.21 ohms
 
Tried a parallel 28ga wrapped in 28ga Clapton. Smokes lovely when warmed up.
