Compenstine Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 8 coils are not going to work. Not sure now that I even want to try 6. At least not on the IGO-W3 as it is. Not say that it is impossible mind you, just to dangerous with this unit. I just spent 4 hours building this with 8 coils, yes there is room on the deck if they are vertical. I used 30ga wire and the build was 4.3 ohms, I used 30 gauge because of the amount of wire connecting to the center post. With 8 wire legs at 30 gauge, it was not easy to get them connected, higher gauge would not have worked. I couldn't spend 4 hours on this build and not give it test... I took the time to make sure there were no shorts and no legs touching. I mounted it to my mechanical and hit the fire button. Had 1 hot leg and the coils didn't light up. After looking at again I found that leg had moved and was touching the leg of the coil next to it. I made a quick adjustment and hit the fire button again... It was a frigging Toaster! All 8 coils light up but, within milliseconds the center post turned gun steel gray from the heat it generated. I quickly let off the button fearing the center post rubber grommet would melt. Sorry I do not have any pics, as I do not want to fire this that long and damage the unit or possibly my myself. My next attempt will be 4 twisted coils.

3Rutez Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Did you have any wick and juice in the RDA during the test firing? I would be curious to see how a 28g octo coil build with a cotton bed saturated in juice would perform. I have only seen pics so far of only the builds.

Compenstine Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) Were these on the W3? Please post them as It may show me where I might make improvements.... And no wick Just a quick dry fire. Edited November 16, 2013 by Compenstine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Rutez Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I could definitely see a dry fire melting the insulator with that many burning red coils. Lol. I will search for the pics when I am at my computer. You should join the group Juice Junkies Vapor if you have a Facebook account. They have new crazy builds being posted and shared daily. That is where I initially saw the IGO-W2 and W3 builds. I will post the pics here once I am able to find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
