Adversarious1 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 This isn't anything fancy...but it's my first build and I wanted to share. Standard dual coil build. 26ga Kanthal. I was aiming for .5 ohm, it clocked in at .48 on the ohm meter. It fired exactly as I hoped it would...nice and even from the inside out. And it definitely cranks out the vapor...

Mirage Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I do the same thing shin does. Five minutes at the most and it's good to go...Single, duel or quad... Now that I found a new way of wicking, it might be ten minutes max... I can deal with that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonGunner Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Lately I've found my wicking takes much more time than wrapping, and installing coils. At times it gets to the point where I find myself nipping single strands of wick. Talk about overkill and a headache. But no dry hits is definitely a pay off.

Trey921 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 This is a Fuzed Clapton Build, I used two 26 gauge kanthal wires and wrapped them with a 30 gauge kanthal wire. By wrapping them super tight I Fuzed the 2 26 gauge wires together creating a larger wire with less resistance. This build fires at .13 ohms and chucks clouds and flavor. All of this was done on a Swirlfish rebuildable deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EverPresentNoob Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Question about that last coil.. if you moved the positive wires tot he opposit holes couldnt you center the coils a bit more in the deck for better airflow across the coils?

jasonculp Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Question about that last coil.. if you moved the positive wires tot he opposit holes couldnt you center the coils a bit more in the deck for better airflow across the coils? That depends on your RDA. I build on a TOBH and the placement of the airholes when wide open are not centered, so you have to build towards the side. It all depends on your setup. IMO you are correct that you want the coil in the path of the airflow coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewDrip Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) I've been doing a lot of coil builds lately, figured I'd share this one. Dual Staggered Fused Clapton .2 ohm Build. 28g 317L core, wrapped with 32g kanthal, fused with 28g kanthal, wrapped on a 2mm screwdriver, built on 28mm Tobh Atty. Another awesome build I did in a Goblin tank. This thing hits like a dripper. It's Dual Claptons .2 ohms, 28g kanthal core wrapped with 32g kanthal with on a 1mm coil jig.

Adversarious1 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Nice looking builds. I just ordered a bunch of kanthal (26, 28, 30 & 32g). I've been wanting to try a dual Clapton but have been putting it off. Think I just found my motivation. NewDrip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisfriar14 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Only new to dripping this week but here's a few builds I've done Simple dual Dual parallel Quad coil build And my latest is the dual nano dragon.

Mirage Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) I'm glad your here Chrisfriar. Clean builds are the way to go!!! But damn, isn't it so very easy???...lol Maybe it's just that I have a background twisting wire... Edited April 21, 2015 by Mirage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shen_long86 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Sleeper coil build on darkhorse rda clone. 28g kanthal wrapped 9 times on a 3/32 screwdriver @0.8 ohms. Not the cleanest build in the world but hey it chucks it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But damn, isn't it so very easy???...lol Maybe it's just that I have a background twisting wire... No your right its definitely a lot easier than I was expecting. When watching videos and doing my research on builds I was wondering what I was getting into with all these different terms and gauges of wire but when it came to it I was surprised how simple it actually was.
