I just cant get the same hit from my temp controlled coils that I can from Kanthal. With kanthal dual coils, .3ohm 26g at 70 watts was a nice dense warm tasty vape. With my Temp control building dual coils, .1 28g at 450F and 50 Joules I get decentish vapor, flavor is ok the first hit, but then its just bland and falls flat. Just seems like its missing something. Not satisfying at all. Just built a .35 ohm 26G dual setup with Kanthal and at 50 watts it is so much better. I really want to use temp control, but it just isnt working out for me just yet. hers a shot of my latest tc coil...

It looks like redripping would be a pain as well. I can imagine dripping through the drip tip and just coating the blades rather than the wicking.

yup, smiling all the way. Just rebuilt it but used N80 for the twists. vape seems the same, but the Ohms are .15 now rather than .22. Thinking I may want to put the other one back on. Good thing about this coil is it is so freaking beefy it didnt deform at all when I pulled it out so I can re-use it.

So I finally did it. a couple weeks ago someone posted about the Twisted Messes RDA and in the pic there was this awesome looking coil installed. I bought the RDA that day and finally built that first coil I saw installed in it. This coil is twisted 28G / 5 strips of .5mm flat stacked / twisted 28G then stapled with 32G. twisted 4 times on a 1/8 drill. Clocks in at .22 ohms. takes about 1.5 seconds to heat up on my Sigelei 100+ set at 80W. Flavor is freaking phenomenal and vapor is pretty darn good as well. Took about 20 mins to make the coil but it was well worth it.

If you do, post it. Im sure people like me would buy it....

Built new coils out of 28G. dual parallel 7 wraps around a 1/8 drill. Came out to .4ohms. but I had to turn down my wattage quite a bit as it was scorching my juice. I was also looking for more surface area to the coil. So I pulled that and built it out of 24G same drill 7 wraps. .21... Thinking I'm going to get some 22g on friday.

ok, well I just pulled the coils and will build new ones in the morning. Thanks.

not trying to be an ***, but arent VTC4's 30 amp continuous? http://www.myvaporstore.com/SONY-VTC4-18650-2000mAh-Battery-Flat-Top-30A-p/sny65020-f.htm

All righty then. Ill rebuild in the morning. Thanks guys. According to Steam Engine 7 wraps of parallel 28G will be .4 or 5 wraps of the same will be .3. Ill measure them before I fire them.

I have a Sigelei 100+ mod with two VTC4 batts in it. My current build is .15ohm. Looking at steam engine that should be fine as I have a 20% headroom, but since my mod is dual batts, that is actually 40% headroom right? I have read ohms law, and every other sticky I can find on multiple forums, and I think I know what Im doing. I do know that even when I ran it at 90watts the batts never got warm, but then I started thinking... Just wanted to check with smarter people than I on this. I normally build at .25 to .5, but I was playing with 24g Parallel build and ended up with a .15ohm dual coil set up. I have never been able to comfortably run higher than 60w with my normal builds but this thing is sweet all the way up. yes I know Im really representing my user name by asking this, but I just dont wanna end up with a hand full of F**k here.

Well, Im pulling my braided coil out today if that tells you anything... To darn hot. I cant take more than two or three hits before the driptip darn near burns my lips. I have been playing with various parallel coils and like them. they dont seem to spit as much, and have a nice smooth vape with plenty of flavor. Single strand coils I get a lot of spitting, Braided are to hot, claptons spit to much... Im sure its not the coils, but something Im doing wrong, but for me it seems parallels are the best.

Just made a braided coil... 6 strands of 28G wrapped 5 times around a 1/8 drill bit. .23 ohms. flavor is great, vapor prodiction is outstanding. Only issue now is that it gets HOT!! vaping at 40 watts and after about a 5 second lung hit the drip tip is rather hot. I cant take more than 2 or 3 hits before I have to let it cool off.

So its the dark side is it?? Where are the cookies....

Interesting... I like it.

So you basically have no plans huh??
