After trying every conceivable microcoil set up, I can say this is the best. I used 4 twisted strands of .28 Kanthal and it's a beast. When I went much lower it was spitting juice out the air holes but this works great. Really brings out the creamy taste in my butterscotch. Can't wait to get my money jizz in there! |

0.6mm cutting wire? Is that the braided steel? Rust hazard? It's for heat cutting so it's probably ok. Anyway got home and found that the wick holes are just under 3mm possibly smaller so had to bodge it. Ended up with 4 x 2.5 mm wraps and its a bit nasty. got monkey jizz in there unsteeped. Not getting dry hits - it's seriously strong but not alot of vapour. Any ideas? |

So I've made a few to try. I'm going to start with duel, 1.7 Ohm coils made with four twisted strands of 0.28mm Kanthal. They're 9 wraps so nice amount of surface area. The first atempt was with only two strands but 5 wraps of my 3.5mm bit were under the 1.5 Ohms I was going for.
Does this sound good to you guys or would the smaller ones be better?
I also made a few with the 0.6mm cutting wire, no idea what it's made of, but they range from 0.5 to 0.8 so I'll try a single coil next.

Just found some great big rolls of cutting wire at work, 0.6, 0.7 & 0.8mm. Ideal!!

I did try and do one mix of gvc but it just didn't taste the same. Still got 30ml left somewhere. I ordered 30ml of jizz but if it's that good I might fire up the coldren

This stuff sounds like it could be my new adv! Any fans here? If so where's the best and more inportantly cheapest place to buy it?

Thats what I want to hear! So what kanthal do you recommend and at what resistance? I'd probably start with the 24G 0.5mm stuff and get the hang of it first, you can do quite a lot with it. What sort of batteries have you got? And what atty? vtc3's in a maraxus with a kraken set up as an auto dripper |

What's the best for every day vaping? Is a sub set going to give enough flavour? Set up right a sub set up gives LOADS of flavour, that's another reason why a lot of us do it. You've seen the big clouds people make, well imagine the amount of flavour in that much vapour. Nomanomanomanom Thats what I want to hear! So what kanthal do you recommend and at what resistance? |

So my maraxus arrived yesterday, followed by the organic cotton balls, vtc3's and Kanthal. Now the video tutorial I saw the guy was using 28 guage Kanthal which I now understand is actually .3mm is that correct? I ordered .28mm!
Anyway .28 is what I have so can I use that to achieve a single sub ohm coil? It looks way to thin to set up single wound duel coils but I may be mistaken?
I was thinking of a 2/3 strand twisted coil as in the previous thread where 6x0.2 was twisted although my atempt was a complete fail!
This set up will be on a kraken genny with 3.5 mm coils and a single cotton wick through the coil but the into both wick holes.

Looks great but I just tried it and ended up with a 1.5 Ohm coil. Where have I gone wrong???
I used 6 strands of 0.2 Kanthal twisted in drill/vice until it snapped then squeezed and flamed it.
btw this is my first ever microcoil of any kind
