DIY Coils: Tips, Tricks, and Whatnot

Cheers!! To be honest I was trying to find some thicker wire than 24 but couldn't see any at the paces I normally order. Not sure if FT have it but I have 4 orders that I'm waiting for from FT so won't be ordering anything more from them at all until other orders arrive. I'll have a look around.

Currently using the DJV RDA and a DigiFlavour Drop, also have a Peerless SE on order. I'll order yet another if I find the airflow isn't enough.

Maybe time to treat myself to a Smoant Cylon, has a pre-heat mode with adjustable curves (if that'll do the trick). I'll read up more on that and other options before I buy. I like the Cylon though

 

Cheers. I'll look at those. Only thing is I'd prefer to order from a Thai supplier such as DNA given the current climate here. Not too bothered about having a bunch of wire or cotton impounded by Customs, less inclined to risk it with a $50-100 mod. That's why I'm leaning towards the Cylon or maybe a H-Cigar.

 

Well, the Cylon arrived and I've been trying out VW curves on it. Just so I'm sure I'm getting the best out of it. As an example, if I have a build that vapes best at say 40W, using heavier alien coils, obviously those take some time to ramp up so I guess for the first one or two of the 7-8 columns it'd be better to hit it with say 60, then 55, then go 40, 40, 40, for the next few. Best to keep it then firing at 40 or drop it off a bit do you think? I've seen some folks say they ramp it up again at the end, but I'd have thought a tail off better?

 

Cheers. Yeah, a lot cooler than you for sure LOL but then I use the vape as a substitute for shisha which is never hot of course. Just trying to make sure I'd got the basic fundamentals right. I did read somewhere about ramping it RIGHT up to say 90+ on the first of the 10 bars, tried that and it's way too much for me. Using a normal temp of say 40 I'll try something along the lines of:

60,40,40,40,35,35,40,40,45 (it's a 10 slot curve). Once the initial 60 fired up the coil, probably little point in dropping the second one to 55 as it's just prolonging the overly hot (for vaping) initial fire up.

Think I've found my problem with clogging too, think I've been wicking too think, maybe having the resistance to the cotton in the coil too much (for fear of under wicking), thinned it out too much at first but the thinner wicks carry the sweeter Malaysian juices better I find.

I do think with the Malaysian juices I'll just have to get used to the idea of wicking at least once a day, a buddy of mine, wicks 2-3 times using them. The Creamy Strawberry is worth it though.

 

Damn! Mine don't look that good after two hours!!! Guess it's the Malaysian juice.

Gonna try 60 50 45 40 40 40 35 30 40 45

I'm guessing if I drop a few zeros in at the end I could limit the firing / draw time to 3 or even 4 seconds.

Cheers. Do you mean regular juice will do it? I don't mix so don't have the separates Got it down to two or three now. Two of them are OK and I just smear a very think film of juice over them when I lay one up for a few days. One is a REAL bitch to get the top off, a Lush Plus, I've gone to the extreme of applying regular Vaseline to those O rings! Attys that are boxed up I've also smeared with Vaseline.
