ConcreteBob is twisting wire...

ConcreteBob · Mar 15, 2015

(EDIT: LOVE THE RESPONSE GUYS. UNFORTUNATELY, THE WINDOW HAS CLOSED ON THIS ROUND OF REQUESTS. STAY TUNED, YA NEVER KNOW WHAT I'LL BE GIVING AWAY NEXT...) Yes indeed, folks. I am loaded the hell up with wire of all sizes, and I'm bored. I just made 10' of 24ga kanthal twisted with 2 strands of .8 flat. But I'm taking requests. I'll even wrap it into coils for ya! 3mm mandrel, and tight wraps. Just PM me.I'm only twisting Kanthal. Gplat is a ripoff. Trust me. I can buy 100 lbs of it for 250. It's welding wire.
That being said, I'm back, and I'm twisting, just for you. Let me know what you want.
(No, I don't make Clapton wire. Sorry)

oh wow.. that is mighty sweet of you, @ConcreteBob thanks..

ConcreteBob · Mar 15, 2015

Well, do you want something?

not sure what I want..
but yes, i'd love to see what you can make for me, since i only do 26g dual coils..
around 7-8 wraps on 2.5 coil thing..

I sent you a conversation

Seven1SixJC · Mar 15, 2015

I don't know if you can take requests for ohms, but I have an MVP 20 Watt so it will only fire down to 1.2, if you could possibly do a couple single coils for me, between 1.4 and 1.7-8ish ohms, it would be EXTREMELY appreciated, I JUST got an Igo W and a Quasar clone in yesterday and would LOVE to try some twisted, any actually as I'm having some issues building one that works correctly and doesn't burn or give me dry hits (I keep trying, I must be doing something wrong) it would be amazing. Thank you so much, please PM me and let me know, thank you!

ConcreteBob · Mar 15, 2015

Done deal, my friend. Some 26 gauge coils, duals, 8 to 10 wraps a piece sound about right?

Seven1SixJC · Mar 15, 2015

Honestly, I'm sorry, I truthfully have no idea, hopefully someone else happens in this thread and sees this and can say for sure. But that sounds right I think, thank you again so much, PM me for my address or anything else needed!

darkox · Mar 15, 2015

I think with the mvp20 it might be better to stick with single coils instead of dual coils.

I'll also take some of the kanthal twisted with flat wire. if you can wrap them that would be great. I usually like to run dual coils at .3

Let me know if you want another tank I don't have a aero but I have a protank and a couple aspire bdc's I think.

ConcreteBob · Mar 16, 2015

I'm pretty sure I can make that happen for you darkox. But I have a very busy week ahead of me, so it will be this weekend before I can get them made and sent off.

Whiskey · Mar 16, 2015

I have to note here Bob, that if you are charging for these builds I may have to move this thread out of this area. Keep me posted on that

CDZVaper · Mar 16, 2015

Ill take whatever you want to make in 24 gauge. I generally make 6 wrap dual coils in my Tobh, but feel free to do what you want.

Is this free, lol??

2 of the twisted ones would be cool....

Joshua Iles · Mar 16, 2015

I can personally vouch for Bob, good dude and very generous.

Whiskey · Mar 16, 2015

Yep I believe you, we just have to establish if he is doing these builds free or if he is going to be charging folks for them.

montijo505 · Mar 16, 2015

I'd be interested to try some twisted wire, never messed with it before, I usually do 24 or 22 g kanthal coils, never really used anything different!

Vapers Toolbox, an android app will enable you to figure out your ohms based on the guage of wire. You can google coil builder as well for an easy online app.

Absolutely free.

ConcreteBob · Mar 16, 2015

Ok, I'm glad to see the number of enthusiastic responses I've gotten. To make this easier for me to keep straight, please PM me with your wish lists, and I'll get back with you.
Also, I'm pretty busy with work right now, so don't go checking your mailbox tomorrow or anything. I'll get everything made and sent out as quickly as I can, but it will still take a little time.

Whiskey, absolutely free. I'm even paying for the postage. I'm not looking to make a penny off this. I just like the members of this forum, and want to do something nice for everyone.

Not charging, Dear Whiskey. I wouldn't have put this thread here in the first place if I were.

You are awesome Bob!

Thanks, remark, but I'm just me. Not quite sure I fit the bill for 'awesome'. Generosity is just something that I believe this world needs more of. That's all.

ConcreteBob · Mar 16, 2015

Oh, and since this thread is about twisted wire, I did a build last night with dual 2 strand 20 gauge twisted Kanthal coils. .05 ohm. Just because...
Useless for flavor, but if you need to lay down a 'Spy Hunter' style smokescreen real quick, it's the only way to go.

I have a praxxis derringer and also a tobh clone I use pretty regularly, they're both 3 post build decks.

Wow thats great!! If you could do a set of 24g, twisted, I'd be happier than a pig in shite...
Should I pm you my address??

And Thanks again!!

ConcreteBob · Mar 16, 2015

Anyone want a pair of 2 strand 24 gauge twisted 8 wrap coils?

Della · Mar 18, 2015

Bob- Thats amazing of you, some of us are still learning to build (6months later LOL) . I have a crap ton of screwed up attempts in a drawer- maybe would saved me a bunch of time and sore fingers if id have invested in one of those coil makers. Im going to PM you.

ConcreteBob · Mar 18, 2015

The Coil Master is a fantastic little tool. I don't have one personally, but a friend of mine at Diamond Vapor does, and it's great. Especially if you don't like sore fingertips.

ConcreteBob · Mar 18, 2015

Okay, the first batch is twisted up and ready to ship. I should be getting them out Saturday. I'm going to start working on the next few requests tonight.

You can send me the 24 g 8 wraps if you want also! Lol, I ordered a doge v2 so I can fit practically anything in the post holes!!

Thanks. It's purely a suicidal cloud build, and I'm certainly not going to make those for anyone.

ConcreteBob · Mar 19, 2015

CDZVaper said:

Thanks. Absolutely terrible for flavor, though. And firing it with anything less than 2 26650 batteries is risky because of the amperage it pulls. On a series build, it could theoretically pull over 200 amps. On an unregulated parallel box mod with fully charged batteries, it's about a 140 amp/588 watt build. In theory.
Point being, don't try this at home kids. There really aren't any safe ways to be an idiot.

Yeah, thats some serious business there. Is that like a 20 or 22 guage?

Hey, do you know what heat flux is and can you explain it in a simplistic way, if possible? Thank you.

ConcreteBob · Mar 19, 2015

It's a dangerous build. And yes, you're within the range of the gauge used.

Heat flux is the measure of the rate of heating of a given material divided by the surface area of the material. It is measured in watts. Basically, it's a calculation of how fast the material will heat to a given range throughout its surface. Like when you fire a bare coil, and it heats from the center out. The rate is how fast any given part of the coil goes from temperature X to temperature Y. Honestly, I'm not sure how to give a simple explanation of the flux, other than to say it is a measurement of the energy expended to heat the entire thing evenly, versus time.
Heavier wire has a longer heating time, and requires more energy to do so. The smaller the area the greater the heat flux.The coils in that pick barely even start to glow at 2 seconds.

ConcreteBob · Mar 19, 2015

And I do believe I saw a thread in the cloud builders corner that explains it much better. I will look for it again and post the title

Diescum88 · Mar 19, 2015

Your a good man bob

always cool to see people helping out the community. Once your caught up a bit I might see bout getting a little twisted

Your explanation was perfect. Thanks for taking the time. Now that I have a good basic understanding Ill go and read a bit more on it.

The ITazte VTR? My only real suggestion would be replacing it. I've never met anyone who was happy with it for too long. Also, if you need to give someone your address, might I recommend sending it to them via private message? Seems safer that way...

mike.dunning.370 · Apr 14, 2015

Thanks

montijo505 · Apr 16, 2015

got this in today, thanks so much bob! Kinda scared lol oh well here goes nothing!!

Edit: messed one up so ended up single coiling it in my doge v2 at .26ohms, flavor is awesome, clouds for days
