It works for 3 core, maybe more but more that’s all I’ve done with it

@JoelSq If I could find a way to do that for alien coils, that would be a major win.

Im using a Sith RDA and my coils and wicks burn out straight away, it’s hopeless . The premade coils I purchased were actually too tall so I had to trim the legs. Everything I tried has failed .

I’m confused, how do you burn a coil out instantly? What wattage are you using? Are you dry firing the coil? Do you take the time to get rid of hot spots?

You always have to trim the legs on new coils.

Check oit this video, it should help you with your RDA.

Resistance and wattage are things to learn

Here is a tip for you guys. Do not get juice on your swivels. They will work fine for a little while, but then they start giving you hell. Learned this the hard way.

Ive done Triple core fused claptons 26-3 38-911 which came out good but i dont have room i have my Diy juices going on so when i dont get from my good Builders on Fb builders groups i use Hellvape triple core Aliens,or V2 Aliens by Coilology (both 10 packs 5-8$ ) or spooled tri core N80 Coilolgy from Health Cabin for a steal under Accessories :call_me_hand: their actually pretty good coils and spooled clapton wire.It just takes 15-21 buisiness days to arrive in my mailbox but they do always arrive .My Buddy quit vaping and gave me a Juggernaut Mini 26mm single coil Dtl ,Top Airflow and she also gave me a Kelpie single coil Rta single Dtl bottom Airflow (Vaping with aVic Hp collab ) but they only charged me 12$ for shipping for both Rta’s so im a happy camper.
Are they as good as my Blaze Solo? Or Profile Rdta ? No but pretty damn good flavor and great build quality and u cant find these in stock anywhere so thank you Trudy Pudimott :smile:
My Mesh Rta bang too Kylin M Pto,Doom X mesh,Zeus X Mesh,Profile X rta takes Mesh or single or dual coils as does the profile Rdta.Its so nice to even have the option :call_me_hand:

@Mookeye I have a couple of those Kelpie RTA’s and they do kick out some good flavour especially for a single coiler but unfortunately they can be very leaky which I have discovered is due to the loose sliding top cap that causes a loss of pressure within the tank. I stopped using mine due to this issue.

Change the seal, if you can find different thicker seal or maybe a grommet you can correct that. I’ve done it with tanks in the past and it fixed the issue nicely.

Yeah mine is still new n tight but im not crazy about slide Fill like the Fireluke 3 my Gf had leaked like crazy but this Kelpie i believe is an Hp Pro and Vaping with Vic collaboration and no leaking,tight slide but its still impressing me with smooth quiet bottom airflow and im getting great flavor , its up there with my top AF Blaze Solo and my other single coils are taking a back seat for awhile.No juice ports, you just cut the wick even with the deck and its good to go.
.26ohm 3°26 1°38 3mm N80 she gave me this and the Juggernaut mini which is nice too but im liking this better, nice goon style drip tip :slightly_smiling_face: Made out good for a mere 12$ shipping for the both

That’s the problem with it, it doesn’t have one and is just metal on metal sliding back and forth with a little groove cut out like a rail in the top cap so as soon as any juice gets into it the pressure is lost and it starts leaking. Thanks for the tip though mate.

I’ve got the original Juggernaut Mini too but it’s just too airy for me but I have kept it just in case I want to revisit it one day. I agree with you that it doesn’t beat the Kelpie on flavour though.

Messing around with a parallel coil setup. It works shockingly well. Great cloud and flavour.

I tried somethings new for my Eclipse RTA. 3 core 26AWG with a 36AWG wrap aliens with a 2.5mm inner diameter, 4 wraps. I added a 26AWG single core with a 36AWG clapton wire. This came out to 0.11ohm. Perfect for high wattage vaping. The clouds and flavor is on point. So happy withthis coil.

What do you guys think of these?

Looking really good @OldGoat. Whenever I try to use one like the top one, all it does (for me) is shred my cotton going in LOL. How do they vape ?
