I can’t answer that yet because I installed one of the coils that came in the box in each of my Recurves. They are listed as ni80 quad core 28x4 with 40g wrap, 3.0mm ID.

The ID doesn’t quite match up to 3.0mm. The ohms are supposed to be 0.24 which was pretty accurate but after the first go with them in an unregulated 80w squonker I took a wrap out of each and spaced them and came up to 0.19. I wanted a little faster ramp up.

I used the same coil out of the pack of 3 that came in the Recurve box and put it in a Hadaly. Took a half wrap out because of the post design on the Hadaly. The Hadaly has much better flavor than the Recurve.

I have some SS staggered fused claptons and I can throw one in the Recurve tonight and give that a go and report back later.

I plan on trying a few of my favorite flavor builds, 6 loop or 4 loop 32g and 34g ni80, a little further down the road.

And in cases you missed this review by @anon28032772 check out post #27 and #41. I am reluctant to try any round wire builds in it.

I quit using dual in the Recurve, now just use single coil 316L 22g 3mm id 6/7 wraps spaced hits around .20 ohms

Edit to add I have also used a 4mm id same wraps and wire at about .25 ohms

I have been using a simple single round wire 316L 3mm id 7/8 wrap 24 gauge spaced coil for many months now. I have tried fused claptons of different wire combos but the simple round wire build works the best for me. I also had to play with the height of the coil to find the best vape.

I forgot to include the review link that shows the effects of the round wire build.

You still haven’t had this show up on yours?

Thanks for the link to @anon28032772 review, I had not seen it. Great and thorough.

Thanks @anon13011326 I am continuing with different gauge wire/wraps. I think the wicking
is making more of a difference than just the coil itself. Seems it doesn’t like too much.

Thanks @wvsanta I too am finding 7/8 wrap single round is working well, at this point
using 26ga , but will try 24ga soon. Seems the coil needs to be about the width of the
posts almost, not short like a 4/5 wrap…if that makes sense. I always make spaced coils,
but stretching a 4/5 wrap just doesn’t work well. [whatever the hell I’m sayin’] Hope all is
well on the homefront, long time no talk. God bless you and family.

From the review that I did on the recurve.

You may have to play with the height some to suit you but that little tiny bit lower to me produces a much better vape.

Thank You and all is as good as it can be and same to you Sir

Loving the Vandy Vape BF 80W. Hell of a squonker in my opinion.

Using triple core, 26 ga with 36 ga wrap fused clapton - Nichrome. Running on the Pulse mech and it’s a lovely vape. Not my daily driver but it’s used plenty each week.

So is that 80w with a 18650? Or 90w with a 2*700?

My biggest issue right now is finding a fast ramp up with my Lunas. They are 80w unregulated with a minimum build resistance of 0.1.

I don’t really care about battery life because I carry 10 or so batts in my backpack which goes everywhere I go.

I use ni80 a lot and I want something that I can get a good hard hit for a 2 to 3 second pull.

Well it’s a mech. Ohms out at 0.19 so with a fresh battery (and assuming not terrible voltage drop) I’m thinking in the neighborhood of 70 watts. The ramp up isn’t quick. But then again we’re rather spoiled by PWM and Lipo, huh? Skews the thinking a bit :wink:

Doh! I worked third last night so I’m kind of running on stupid at the moment.

And yes, the immediate gratification from the PWM lipos does make us spoiled. I think it is the reason I have such trouble with finding that perfect build for my tube, series, paraseries and parallel mechs. Most of them are gathering dust.

Fogsmith Mods made a 20ml squonker with a NLPWM 4S lipo. I was afraid to inquire the price because the last NLPWM box mod I asked him about was about $200 higher than a WhiteRoseMod. He thinks very highly of his craftsmanship. And he does quality work but I just don’t wanna drop $450 or more on an NLPWM.

I have one of these mods. How many wraps are you running? I have severe voltage drop issues on mine. Need to tweak my builds on it, apparently. Plus run a single.

1329

Have you tried running SS coils? Should be a faster ramp up than N80.

4.5 wraps, 3mm ID

I think voltage drop is the nature of the beast with the original Pulse mod. Somewhat crappy design IMHO

Bought a bunch of Desire Design’s Cut squonkers for $10.00 ea and I have to say I’m impressed. TC is a little off but works well once you get the TCR dialed in. With single coil and a Samsung 40T it lasts all day long. Haven’t put it down for the week that I’ve had it. Shame they aren’t supporting firmware upgrades anymore though.

:+1: not just me that think it’s perfect single batt reg. squonker, tend to switch up mods a couple of times thru the day but less since i got it, very cozy in hand, bottle squeeze seems perfect to me and battery tension is easy enuff not to destroy my wraps
