Coil Building show offs!


My most complicated build, only because my kid broke the shower and my husband had the drill out anyway.
The app I used to take the photo will not let me have it back! :rage: But it was the easiest coil calculator I have used. So I stole it back with a screen shot.
If I took a photo now, it wouldn’t look so shiny. Just a bit darker now.

I used to do twisted parellels, a good vape and an easy build. With the Daedalus jig I do Claptons now because I personally prefer them.

Here are a couple reasons I so not use SS anymore. Look at all the wraps! I way prefer 6 or 7.

*Oh, and ‘show off’ is SO not me, I was reluctant to even post here.

Is the bottom photo a fused clapton?

It’s a Gatorback Clapton, one 26g and a twisted 28g pair wrapped in 40g Claptoning.

Eeeh ok, too much for me. lol

I have this spool of fused clapton thet looks similar, but I dislike it because it takes too long, and too much wattage, to actually vape.

I would like to find a build that will give me a quick dense vape, and just build and vape that.

Can you recommend something simple, but good on battery life that will give me in instant dense vape?

Looks as if I will need to have a few different wire sizes and types. lol

Single strand each of 24,26, and 28 gauge ss316L twisted up together, ohms out at .16 as a single coil 6/7 wrap on a 2.5mm screw, pushing 70-85 watts and tastes damn delicious

I made a … thing! Its a four double strand (eight wires) braid with 30 gauge SS316L… I have no idea what it’ll ohm out at… Lol But it was fun and looks pretty cool! And I only bled a little bit, and only hammered my fingers 3 or 4 times…(ouch) :joy:
I finally got the hang of it about half way through, so I’ll definitely be trying it again once the feeling in my fingers comes back to see if I can get it a bit more uniform.

It does look cool, and pretty.
I have got to see that as a coil on a deck. It is hard to tell the size of it as a strand.

Don’t forget to hit it with low and slow wattage first to get that pretty color from the ss wire!

Thanks! And seriously, i got about halfway through and started thinking it would make a nice bracelet! The whole time I was braiding it felt like I was 10 years old making friendship bracelets.
I’ve also been browsing etsy and and have seen bracelets that I thought would make great coils… :laughing:
