Coil Building show offs!

Been wrapping these .5ohm 2mmID quad wire coils for a few weeks now

Ooh nice! I think that’s something I could actually make! Might have to twist up some wires today.

Well finally figured out how to make same decent fused claptons with the Daedalus (yeah impatience and lack of discipline so I needed the help of that jig)!!! Looking to start doing some smaller gauge 3 or 4 core coils and can’t seem to figure out how to calculate ohm scenarios for such coils on Steam Engine. Any suggestion?

Select clapton coil, then for the core wire select parallel and u can add more core wires by clicking the +

Made some beefy staple coils last night. 8 ply .4 ribbon, framed out with 26g w/ 40g fuse. They’re not as clean as they could’ve been but I’m happy!

I salute your patience. I tried one of these once and it ended up looking like a bowl of metallic spaghetti.

I could have had a pasta factory for all the times it didn’t go so well :rofl: If at first you dont succeed… :grin:

I finally found some time (and an atty that needed a coil change) to mount up those big staples. They ended up ohming out to exactly 0.1 on the money. Next time I’ll use a little less ribbon and it will be perfect for a tube or parallel mech. For now it’ll sit on the G2…just to be safe :grin:

Check out the stock coils that come with the Serpent SMM! I was shocked whe I realized they were quad core claptons. I’m not 100% on the wire type (and it shouldn’t be a secret) but I think its ni80. The wrap wire is thin gauge too, maybe 38 or 40g? Usually factory made coils use 34 or 36. I cleaned them really good with soap and toothbrush like I always do and then started slowly heating them to see if I got any color. I couldn’t see any chage until I got it red hot. Thats when it turned to gold and finally to a bluish purple. I strummed them with ceramic tweezers to get an even glow and the color scraped off! I’ve never scratched the color off a coil. Once I got it glowing even I washed the damn things again. I still vaped them though and they work fine. I didnt make these but wanted to share them with you guys.
