how do i coil my new trident dripper

[baggieboy999]

Hi so ive just got a trident dripper and wick etc ,.Has anyone got a link to a tutorial video of how i coil it.

Cheers

Todds review Here has a build using silica or you can use microcoils and cotton. Super shinys guide is really good for that

Plenty on You tube. Not sure what type of coil you want on it but if you type how to coil a trident coil you should get loads of videos but here is one for now.

I haven't got one myself so cannot advise what's right or what's wrong.

Good luck



edit - Erik link is better

Do you want a single coil build or dual coil? Also what kanthal do you have?
If you've got some .3 kanthal (28 gauge) this is a great fairly easy build. Comes in at 0.6ohms so make sure your battery is up to it, but I can assure you it's a winner

Thanks for the reply's , it's to use on my mvp2 so does it have to be over a certain ohm ?

Apparently the v2 will fire at 0.8ohms but I couldn't confirm that as I don't have one.
I think in that case, use the super nano coil, but just one. I do that on my vamo with a 14 wrap single coil for around 1.5ohms

Ok thanks for that , one last thing do any hardware shops like b&q etc sell wicks and the wire or do you have to get it offline , as my mate only gave me a bit he had spare

MVP will fire to.0.8 ohms, but not sure it puts out the correct volts at that ohms.
I did a comparison with MVP set at 4v and 0.8 ohm coil vs on mod and wasn't the same.

Better off making a higher ohm e.g. 1.5
Still good amount of vape with single coil in trident.

7 wraps of 0.3mm kanthal round a 2.5mm drill bit(think mine is 2.5, might be 3mm) gives about 1.4 ohms as single micro coil and works ok on MVP, mine is normally left at that.

baggieboy999 Good link from kalbo for your needs, may as well get all your stuff from here as they do mesh as well.
Out of interest, what other RBA's are you using?

[baggieboy999]

Ok tried the 14 wrap super thing and noticed only some of the coil was turning red , and tried the 7 wrap around 2.5mm drill .

With both of them the ohm reading seemed all over the place if i tightened it i got a reading of either 0.0 - 0.6 , if i loosened it slightly i was getting a reading of 3.4 ohm....what does all this mean?

My mate said get a trident you won't regret it lol , seems like a nightmare so far

Make sure the coil isn't touching the posts or the deck or the cap, there should be a clearance otherwise you will get a short.
The coil should glow from the centre outwards, if only some of the coil is glowing you might need to pinch the coil with tweezers to tighten the wraps, there should be no gaps in the coil, but no overlaps either. Keep at it mate, it will be worth the effort when you get it sussed.

Ahh some of that makes sense actually mate , does b&q or electrical shops sell the wire

Not sure bro, I always use the guys I linked earlier in this thread

Better off getting the wire online bud. doubt b&q/electrical shops will sell but could be wrong.

Could be a ecig shop that sells it near you, most don't though, where are you in the country?
I've got one in walking distance from where I work..but much cheaper online for kanthal, and more options online.
