The nimbus

[kngfdrgn]

Just curious how others who have a nimbus are building theirs? I run mine with just a basic 30g dual coils using Hospital grade cotton and it preforms pretty well that way. I tried running a twisted coil on it twice but both times it would vape ok for a while and then suddenly make a pop and one of the wires would be broken, to much tension or maybe faulty kanthal? I'm getting my next spool from somwhere else to see if that helps.

Make sure the wire isn't touching anything.sounds like you are shorting out somewhere. Did you heat treat your kanthal before wrapping the coils? I love twisted coils.try just running a single twisted coil,it produces plenty of vapor and flavor depending on how many wraps you do.

Found the problem, I was twisting too tight and almost breaking the kanthal on one of the loops. It was just barely attached and every time it got up to temp would break. Tried building one with some thicker stuff a buddy gave me and no more issues.

Awesome.I've never had a problem with the kanthal breaking and I torque mine down pretty freaking tight.

I was using an old craftsman drill with no torque adjustment and a pair of vise grips. It was getting stretched to far right around where the second loop in the coil was.
