christov11 Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Well what I was thinking, I usually build my dragon coils with 12-14 wraps. The dual parallel heats up much quicker and has just as much surface area but it only takes 6-7 wraps. worth a try! if you have time to build and like doing it, theres a bunch of different things to try!
charles vapor Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I built this yesterday for my 18650 cartel mod and stillare RDA, it read at 1.9ohms, this is the first time I have built a parallel coil using one strand of wire (pain in the butt) it vapes good for the most part, but just gets hot and drains the hell out of my battery. I put it on my 26650 mutant today and it seems to be better, mainly because of the 3500mah battery as opposed to the 2100mah on the VTC4.
Bushwick Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I've never built a single strand dual parallel build, but shouldn't it test out lower than 1.9?
charles vapor Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 well, it usually reads at .25 when i build it normal (not parallel) so I'm not too good on the math, but yes I thought it would test lower too.
charles vapor Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I've never built a single strand dual parallel build, but shouldn't it test out lower than 1.9? i just read my post and realized i put 1.9, I meant to say .19
Bushwick Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 That makes more sense. 1.9 sounded a little bit off. :P
charles vapor Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 new 26650 mutant and stillare 6 wrap single strand dual parallel with 24g
christov11 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 new 26650 mutant and stillare 6 wrap single strand dual parallel with 24g How much does that come out to in ohms? looks like a beast for surface area!
charles vapor Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 How much does that come out to in ohms? looks like a beast for surface area! .10 it hits amazing.
christov11 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 .10 it hits amazing. Nice! I might try that, although its a little below my ohm threshold... things might get too hot for my liking haha
charles vapor Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Honestly on the large dripper it's not that bad, a little warm and it fills my lungs almost instantly but I have my other drippers to be mellow with
Drew661 Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Twisted 28 @ .4 on kayfun 3.1. Sry for bad pic
Bushwick Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 How do you like the loosely twisted 28g, Drew? I've always preferred the tightly twisted strand. But, given that everyone has their own preferences, I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on the loose twist. Do you like the way it vapes? Have you tried different twists? I have some 24g coming my way. So I will be posting here again soon. I want to see this thread get more action. But I know it's hard to see all the new 'try-out' builds when everyone finds their favorite build and settles in with it. I rarely stray from the 28g parallel.
Drew661 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) I like it a bit better than the 28 ga .8 on the kayfun. But I only use it in the car. Haven't played with twists, I'm sorta lazy and don't have much free time. With you BTW 28 ga parallel at .3-.4 on rda my go to. Edited October 15, 2014 by Drew661
iheartvape Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 I been simple lately just doing plain 6 wrap 22g royal wire dual coils.
Raptor Vaper Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 5 wrap 24 gauge dual parallel coil in my plumeveil. New top cap too! christov11 1
charles vapor Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 last time I tried that build it hit like a damn train, a little too harsh for me to vape daily lol. christov11 1
christov11 Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Dual parallel 24g coming in at 0.12... Lowest build up to date and I don't dare testing lower. This thing is a freaking beast! Thanks for suggesting it!!! smacksy 1
charles vapor Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 I think were all running out of ideas for builds...havent seen much on this thread lately.
rjc3095 Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) Has anyone tried a parallel coil using Omega Tigre wire? this is what they send with wire and it's Damn accurate Edited November 6, 2014 by rjc3095
christov11 Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 I think were all running out of ideas for builds...havent seen much on this thread lately. hahaha I tend to stick to the builds i like... and im weird and dont like certain numbers of wraps haha like single coil builds always have 7 LOL gotta rebuild the parallel though hopefully its even cleaner this time around! We're creatures of habit!
charles vapor Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 hahaha I tend to stick to the builds i like... and im weird and dont like certain numbers of wraps haha like single coil builds always have 7 LOL gotta rebuild the parallel though hopefully its even cleaner this time around! We're creatures of habit! indeed, I have been rocking the same build for about 2 months without changing it, but if it's not broken don't fix it. christov11 1
Bushwick Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 I do the same thing. I've basically run out of motivation to build. I've fallen into the same routine. Build my 5 wrap parallel, vape it for a couple months, try a build that just doesn't work out, go back to parallel. christov11 1
igotit Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) for some reason I cant post pics,but heres a design I been playin with.im having great results. instead of a round wrapped coil I been playin with other shapes. right now im burning a .8 ohm 24g 7 wraps.i used a flat piece of stainless to wrap around.3/16 wide by 0.050 thick flat bar.the coil is basically a tall rectangle.this gives more surface contact between the coil and wick. I have it installed in my stock kfl plus.even with limited airflow.....she really chucks out a cloud on my panzer......plenty flavor. I made a macro coil .7 ohm 24g ,my new rectangle design out performs it in clouds and flavor on the kfl/panzer clone. not sure if this design has been tried or named yet.im gonna try dual setup on my tugboat and compare it to a round coil build soon. more surface area equals more vape and flavor......now I gotta get more air in the kfl. imagine combining this with a Clapton design wire. another idea is a cotter pin,wrap around 1 half.....gives you a D shaped coil. thanx Edited December 3, 2014 by igotit
