Thatâs what I do. Atleast in my cloned version.

If only one coil it doesnât matter as long as each end of wire is attached to separate post.

You could really use either top or bottom on each post, though with the velocity, Iâd probably use the bottom on both posts. It would get the coil down closer to the primary air intakes. I do a variation on this build for my series boxes.
Here it is on a Petri clone. Effectively I turn one coil into two coils in series by stretching the center wrap out and then bending the coils so they are diagonal to eachother.

quick questionâŚthe petri cloneâŚnice protruding 510 on those for the
cricket? I purchased 2 crickets and was looking into good/safe rdaâs.

so i figured i would cheat a little and ordered some notch coils by tobeco that are prewicked , just to get use to installing the wires to the post and to get the feel of how to place the coil , BOY WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY everyone of them broke while putting wire in the posts or were already broke , but the one i did get installed caught fire a little bit , im wondering if i had all the cotton soaked , this is why i didnt get into rda but im here now and have to learn , this is just to test the juice i make soif i want to vape at 50 watts what gauge wire shoulld i buy
One whole post is negative, the other is positive, so like already said, youâre grand so long as one end of your coil goes to each side.

As for wire I am a big fan of 24g ss316L
But you will find people like all sorts of stuff and just like juice itâs all about personal preference.
That being said. Look into what the final product you want. In this case it will be the ohm level and other stuff like ramp up time. Be willing to try a few different materials. Ti Ss ni ect.
So when buying wire before clicking the purchase button I would recommend the thought process of âhow many wraps do I need to get an âXâ ohmsâ. Persoanlly I like a 5-7 wrap coil around 0.25 to 0.5 depending on the device.
For my velocity v2 clone. I actually rock a single coil 6strands braided ss326L coil. 5/6 wrap. Ohms out at 0.25. It gets plenty hot, but no to hot and the ramp of speed is right where I need it.

thats a ton of detail my friend lol i was hoping it was gonna be , if you like to vape at 50 watts you should do this , lol , then i would do it but ty lol
For coils and building its all about safety. I try not to give an exact answer. I always recommend research and testing. Have Atleast an ohm readerâŚI recommend a coilmaster tab just so that I can fire my coils on there prior to placing on my modâŚplus itâs less tippy.
Here is the link for deciding coil wraps. Iâm sure you have found this link.

To be honest Iâm still new to building game. I spend 4 hours every two weeks playing with my builds. When you get the perfect build in the device imo there is no need to change because for me itâs all about the recpies.
For my uwell Rafeal X. I rock 24g ss316 dual coil using the neutral post and run at around 54w or in tc mode at 493 degrees.
My velocity Iâm still playing. But I put single coil builds with ss316L. I donât do the dual coil claptons because the ramp up time is so slow.
The cool part about building is customization. Add one more wrap and everything changes on your coil. Change gauge from 24 to 26âŚwamâo life has changed.

when people talk about ramp up time , is that the time it takes coil to heat up ???
I believe so, or thatâs how I use that term

You like to vape at 50 watts. What mod are you using? The more information you give us the more we can help. Agree with others you need an ohms reader. Recommend you look at jigs to help you build coils. Also a lot of videos on YouTube to help you. In my opinion start with simple single wire coils. Experiment âŚsize wireâŚohms range you like. The more coils you make the easier it gets. The main thing is be safe. Make sure your batteries can handle the amps. Hope this helps. You have a lot to learn. The learning never stops.
