Building a dual coil for anything (with pics)

My Forest Fruits is 11mg and I can pretty much vape it all day. I noticed Vapology must need more flavouring as it isnt on the dropdown menu at the mo.

I`m not sure which route I want to go yet, either lower the nic content and vape more juice (and money lol) or stick with the 18mg and try and use it less.

I have a mix of both in my favourite juices. I have noticed that the higher nic content does seem to give the flavour more punch, at the same PG/VG ratio.

This is why i love the dripper i use 6mg nic at 4,9V with 2.3 coil. blows my head off. Plus when i make juice i add extra flavour too

This inspired me to rip out the rather fine ss wick in my aga t+ and do a dual coil silica u wick. What a terrible, terrible idea that turned out to be. On well, got four hours to sleep on it before work!

This is a fabulous thread with so much good information.

Pity I stopped understanding any of it after about the third post.

I don't own a rebuildable of any description yet (Well I've got an AGA T2 but nothing to put it on)
I've not wrapped a coil in my life.

This vaping lark is making me hugely ambitious with what's achievable

Pezz you will be amased what a battery, silica wick and wire can achieve with flavoured liquid.

Our forum `gurus ` will soon put you wise to the pleasure of vaping.

Remember to ask the question, best advice I can give you.

Any chance of a board member, giving a tutorial or post a link,
that shows how to bind the two coils together?

Cheers

I've already seen it Des, if the photos were more close up, I'd understand.

THIS POST is faily self explanatory, basically all you do is twist the coil legs together.

Maybe if you have'nt done it already you should start with doing a single coil?

[Moggy]

Sorry, I did say I would do more pics but have been tied up with work and the kids. If you havent tried making your own single silica coil yet I would recommend starting there and getting that "comfortable" before moving on.

I will try to post some tonight after work. A basic ability to twist wires together neatly is really all you need, I do it every day at work so it comes naturally to me but I do understand poor eyesight and sausage finger syndrome can make it tricky

Edit -- If you want/need me to, I will post a step by step with a wire twisting guide. I don't want to insult anyones intelligence as "twisting wires together" can sound really easy, but when it comes to making coils you benefit from having both legs the same overall length in the final resistance reading. If you "wrap" 1 leg around the other you will have a slight resistance imbalance, which could affect the coils. We are talking pretty low amounts of resistance so you likely wouldn't notice, however if 1 coil blows the whole setup will still work but you will have wasted all your time and effort

Thanks Mono, a step-by-step guide, would be fantastic.
I've seen PBusardo's rebuilding a Nova atty, and it looks pretty simple.but for me, I haven't clue about wiring.

I'm just thinking about doing a mock-up with some larger scale wires so you can more easily see what you're aiming for, kind of BIG Picture, Little Picture

Let me know what you think.

Great idea Mono.
I'll be purchasing the pre-made coils from Vaporbreak, with the Phoenix. .

Putting the wires through the screwholes in the atty, tighten em up, then cut the excess off to make a single coil, - it just what happens next is confusing me

Thanks for starting the thread Mono. Just dual coil my nova and now getting 1.3 ohms. My head is spinning, Truly a great vaping experience.

Cheers
