This is where I got the ideas for the build. I do mine a little different now that I have built it 4 or 5 times. I make the bent leg more towards the back giving more room for cotton, but this was how I started. I also push my coil a little closer to the air intake hole as well. Never had this build leak yet. Before though.... It leaked like crazy, but I was trying to build bigger coils and setting them up higher. Orchid Coil Build

Looking at 0.3 ohms for this in dual coil, but that's on the RTA with cotton and juice in a full build. Bout got the tank empty. I'll be posting how I cut the cotton and wick it. Lol good thing about this setup is it chugs rather then sips juice.

Just going to shoot this in here real quick. Not wanting to step on any toes or anything, but I have a way I build my Orchid. Seems to work well for me and get's great flavor and clouds. From personal experience and just general flopping around the inter webs I came upon this little coil build for my Orchid and it's what I have used now every time. It's 6 wraps of 24 AWG/0.511MM, 3MM coil size or largest of my micro screwdrivers. . Lol thanks to Vaping Bad I now know the MM sizing for my normal AWG standards here in the U.S. THANKS! I just make it as a normal 6 wrap coil then bend one leg out then down then back... if that makes sense lol. It works really well and it keeps the coils legs out of the way of your cotton for your juice channels. Also when building an Orchid you really need to keep the coil as close to the air hole as possible. Reason being is not for flavor or anything, but when the tails from your cotton fall to the sides it keeps juice from going into the air hole. It acts almost like a sponge barrier. If you build your coil to high it will allow juice to run past the cotton and into the air intake hole. I put no cotton what so ever in the juice channels. Just let the tails rest on the deck on either side of the coil. I would have put a picture of it on my Orchid, but I'm about half way through my tank and don't feel like dumping it lol. I'll pop one up as soon as it's emptied.

Finally got some new vape mail from FT to play with. Giddy like a little girl in a doll factory. I had been watching this package since it entered the country, all the way up till it was like 30 miles from me it kept moving on it's slow meandering journey. THEN STOP! I'm like what the hell it's 30 minutes away and it's not moving. How does it take 24 hours to travel 30 miles.!?!?! I then realized yesterday was Veterans Day here in the U.S. and a national holiday for the mail service. Gorgeous Lunar mod, my second Hobo V2, and a Little boy RDA, plus a few drip tips and a new top cap for my Doge. Top cap on an authentic Doge. So glad this fit one of my favorite cloud chuckers.

In all it took me more time to make that post then it did to re-wick the Russian. Less then 15 minutes in all from start/cleaning coil to finish wicked and ready to go. Thank you friend, done again today, bit longer cotton, blew down the chimney, a little gurgling at first but now vaping like a dream... my first Kayfun and rebuild-able tank now complete. Just wait till its been in use for 6 months and you have to buy a rebuild kit and replace all the insulators on the positive post. I switch between a russian and Orchid at work. Sometimes ill carry a dripper but not often. That authentic Russian has been put through hell. Fallen in the mud, dropped from the top of a water tank to a cement floor, shorted out, stuck together so bad I needed a wrench and torch to get it apart, lost under the couch for a month and Still had enough life to take a puff off. They are well made the lot of them. Clones for the most part are no exception. They are built just as good if not better most times. I know the EHpro kayfun I have will never get traded or sold.

The nautilus coils are not hard to rebuild and these look like the exact same just larger. I might order one and play around with it. See if I can come up with a good re-coil for spent pre-mades.
Thats if all the other products coming out don't get me first.

O.O That's many much muchin clouds from a prebuilt coil system. Making a tug boat look bad, that's impressive.

Russian was my first rebuildable atomizer after a Nautilus. I have built it more times then I can count and if rushed less then 5 minutes rewicking. Got it down to a art. That's a fairly big coil for me on it. it's a 3mm (macro)and most times I do 2.5 or lower (micro) on my Russian. I was looking for a longer heat up time that kept warm for a longer period of time. It works well for me and has been my build for months now. Only changed the coil once in 3 months.
Hell it works for me, thanks for the break down. Now I have something I can go back to when I need to.
I have ran into this issue quite a few times, but was to lazy to take the time to look it up.

Yeah I got confused the first time I saw the Plus beside CLT V2.
I contacted Infinite and got them to clarify what the plus meant and they also sent me those pictures with the email. I'll be ordering it as well. I love my Doge and Plumeveil and although the CLT V2 hardly leaves my hand for the Hobo, I think I would like to have the extra options the Plus has.
Then I think it's just the part of me that want's to own every atomizer I see.
I have the CLT and CLT V2, might as well have the CLT V2 Plus.
Then once the Freakshow RDA gets out there I'll be getting it as well. Gotta have em all!

ive got the orchid v4 coming from ft, ive tried dual coil but they seem to go wrong so stick with what i know lol Orchids can be finicky, but they work fairly well. Right now I have to put just a tad of the wick tail into the juice channel to keep it from flooding. You have to watch out though cause to much tail and it slows the juice flow down to much. Took me 3 builds my first time to learn the right amount. I don't know how to say what size 26 gauge is in MM, but 26 gauge 8 wraps on no more then a 2mm rod for max coil size. When you get it just ask me and I'll give some pictures on how I build it. Infinite made a version that raises the air flow holes off the deck. Also they made the coil post a little taller. Infinite Orchid
Now if someone would just make a 2 piece chimney like a kayfun or russian for the Orchid all would be grand. All issues with wicking could be resolved just by doing that.

Thanks man, I have another go tomorrow with your guide. Think my cottons about a millimeter short of the deck. Yeah that would most definitely cause flooding into the deck. Do as I showed and it will work right every time. If there is flooding at the start from my build when filling or refilling just hold a rag to the air hole and blow it out and your good to go. So not in the juice wells but laying right on them.

I think it's like 4.5 to 5 ml of juice. You know though I've never really checked lol. I've had them for ages and it's never even came up. I know that it will last me a whole day on one fill up though and that's probably why I never checked. It does not have the output of a dual coil set up so it sips the juice rather then chugs it.
I have an Orchid V2 and it holds like 2.5 to 3ml. It has dual coils though and 4 juice channels and it might last me through a 8 hour work day and need filling just after. If I'm at home it's only about 2 to 3 hours of vaping though cause I have more time to vape at home. Just ordered the V4 Orchid though with 5ml juice capacity so I know it will last longer. Also ordered longer chimney section for it so I can put my Keyfun/Russian tank sections on my V2 version.
