Coil Art - Show Us Your Coils

I have that exact set also. Only problem is the visor bit kept creeping down until I put some rubber washers between the visor and the headband.

Do yu have the same problem?

Managed to grab a few beadalon tamers, and woah. This is the missing peice! So simple yet so effective, I honestly cannot think of a better thing - these should be in every builders kit!

Now I don’t need 3 hands to space my claptons, but that button still comes in :slight_smile: I have managed to make longer bits, so getting enough right is a lot lot easier! Thanks!

Ok, so I guess I can Clapton, so what is actually next?

Braids? I’ve tried it and it takes a long time for sometimes poor results. I mean, I have vaped better 24g straight wrapped wire than some braids end up. Maybe micro-clapton braid?

Well whatever I decide to try next, be sure I’ll post the results! :slight_smile:

Back in 2017 @SthrnMixer and I were talking coils made from a macrame square knot they actually vaped ok but at the time there was only one atomiser that they fit in (the Pharaoh)

After a few failures, I actually managed to make a decent coil

(bit of a shit pic)

The micro Clapton version looked better but didn’t vape as well

It was a fun experiment.

It was a novel idea, but not entirely practical.

Still, looks cool AF.

Look’s like the spacing would of held quite a bit of liquid :ok_hand:

Well, looks like I’m stuck in a bit of a loop! (see what I did there? No, ok then :slight_smile: ) - at least I used ribbon this time! OK, I only used ribbon because I’m out of 36g till more arrives! But still, she vapes like a trooper at 50w - got to try make enough for 2 next time!

28g wrapped in 3 x 1 ribbon, fused with 38g SS316L, ID 3, 0.24Ω

Thanks! I’d like to take all the credit, but again, most of it goes to the button!

This is my button. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My button is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

heh

Sooo…I’m guessing you never REALLY much liked that tuck in shirt, anyway. :crazy_face:

Well, another from me! I will lose interest one day! But for right now? Yep, you stuck with them I suppose!

I’m sure it has been done before, and have seen other coils with “helix” styles that I guess do similar but I stumbled upon it by mistake so I feel a bit proud of these. Only made one so far and although she started well, when I removed a core she sprang violently and unsprung a load of fusing!

She vapes a bit weird a bit like mesh, but quite warm and cloudy - will attempt another later but may uncore a wrap before I fuse this time!

Well I had a bash at making them alien things, and although I still have not made a full coil, I feel I am making progress!

Oh wait, that isn’t progress, this is back to last month! Sod it, Imma stick to lovely straight SFCs for now!

Very nice, @yodaofborg ! Well, except for the hole in your digit! :anguished:
I haven’t been making any coil’s as of late…bit of turmoil in my life right now…not inspired, but I will have to spin up a few simple wire’s soon, to keep the clouds ‘a-swirlin’ lol.

Wasn’t the spit back horrendous?

Out of interest how much do you charge for them? Any idea anybody what the TCR would be for SS3008 and also would these work with Replay?

I’ve never heard of SS3008, but if the resistance rises ~20% from ambient/cold then it should work in Replay. :woman_shrugging:

Like above, I don’t have a clue on the actual coefficient range, but I would suspect if it reacts well between 0115 and 0088 it will work for replay just like it would for TCR.

If it doesn’t it will fire like wattage mode, so I am game to try. There is a link to a website with pricing in the other thread, its not cheap but I may be willing to give it a shot soon if nobody else does.
