3Rutez Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 I've been hearing that the US26650VT is really only 30A. I chose them over the MNKE due to the 50A claims. Test results have also showed a significant voltage drop with the Sony compared to the MNKE, which keep consistent for longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I haven't heard that. I'll look for a sony 26650 spec sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Rutez Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Here is a chart showing the MNKE and Sony US26650VT @ 20A. I don't want to derail the thread, but figured I would post it here for now, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvince201 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I prefer MNKE 26650 batteries over Sony, but I believe they only make a 1500maH in 18650 which sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Rutez Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 I tore down and rebuilt the Stillare with 26g dual parallel coils. Ramp up time was even longer than the 22g, and the vapor production was pathetic compared to the other build. I think the best thing will be to keep the 22g coils, but make them bigger in diameter. That way I can get more ohms without taking up so much horizontal space on the deck. I gotta say though, for my first ever attempt at a parallel coil, I did damn good.

3Rutez Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) 22g dual @ .2ohms Edited June 4, 2014 by 3Rutez Joshuab3687 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Rutez Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 I gave the 26g dual parallels another shot. 10 wraps @ .51ohms . Flavor is top notch, and the vapor production is incredible. I will get better at wrapping this type of coil with practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Try using a pair of needle nose pliers and give gentle pulls after each wrap, Rutez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvince201 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I normally mount mine first, then use my drill bit to gently pull them out once heated, usually gets them all evened up really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Most coils I build above 26g, I torch the wire before I wrap em. Them if I'm doing parallels, I wrap one side first, tighten em with pliers, insert coil into posts, tighten post screws, then wrap other side on the deck, tighten with pliers again, insert other neg leads, then tighten and heat pulse and pinch coil with tweezers or pliers. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Rutez Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Thanks for the tips. One of these days I will have more than five to ten minutes at my station to build more consistent coils. Joshuab3687 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonGunner Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Hey iheartvape...that's very tidy looking. How many wraps is that and what size bit was it coiled onto? Can you post a pic sometime without the cotton? I would love to see how you worked the legs. Also how is the flavor and vapor production with this build? I've always been interested in trying a dual coil on my 91%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartvape Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I will take some pics of how I did it with another set of coils. It's actually a 12/13 wrap. The flavor is pretty good. Vapor production to me seems about the same. I built this so I could test out higher wattage settings. I don't get a burnt taste with this set up at 15 watts as I did with the single coil.

iheartvape Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 1 ohm @ 35 watts!?!? How do you not get a burnt taste? I been trying to figure this out. So far I'm at 1.2 ohms and i can get to about 16.8 watts then it will be too hot and start tasting funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushwick Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I keep meaning to post my builds here, but I always forget! I want to make sure they are clean and fresh. But I am always so anxious to vape them that I totally skip the photoshoot! Joshuab3687, Compenstine and Love2VapeDaily 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMuddKicker Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 okay so i have new build haven't seen anyone mixing these to much but i like the flavor and throat hit i get. Its a dual coil (technically) but its really 3 coils, so Tricoil? Started with a single parallel 4 wraps. added a single coil at 5 wraps. Ohms out to about .7-.8 it has some decent cloud production but flavor is good. I name thee Astro Wolf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
