It's a helluva lot better than my first try. Looks quite vapable to me! Let us know how it goes, okay?
So excited I pulled my 22n80 build out to put In the alien. As I wicked and juiced it she jumped down to .29 ohms. Vaping it at 63.5 watts. It's better clouds then my 22build and better flavor then anything I've tried so far.

As long as you can wrap it and use it no harm or foul, just another attempt at a win! (Thomas Edison said.... "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

Thise 22mm v3 is my daily driver until i can get the cloud cap for my petri sometime this week. The standard cap gives too tight of a draw for my liking.

0.5 ohms? Why so high?

Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
Don't want to blow myself up

First build was just a test for the velocity... .39 ohms just a dual parallel 28G Kanthal..

About to install a single coil Fused Clapton in it now. You think .5 is too high? It's series... .3 is the low end of things for me... I don't want to ruin batteries for a good vape.

I didn't realize you were running a series mod, that was my bad lol on my mechs and boxes I run nothing higher than 0.25, but I like to stay around 0.10 lol

For series mods you want a higher ohm because you have twice the voltage of a single cell tube mod. So firing a 0.12ohm at 7.4V = 465W and 61A! but a 0.4ohm at 7.4V = 136W and 18A

Framed staples in the Phenotype-L I received for Christmas.
Specs:
6x 0.5mm KA1 ribbon cores
2x 28g N80 frames
40g N80 fuse

A sneak peek.

I figured from your first one you were thinking, "on a Mech mod?"

No worries :)

Well.... Vertical single coil in the velocity, first real build on it. Let me say this... Vertical = WHAT A BITCH!

ohms around .6 just used the IPV to make it glow all pretty, she's firing GREAT on my Noisy Cricket and NO spitback! Wow! It's a 6½ wrap, 28G Kanthal/34G N80 Fused.

It was just slim enough with a 2.3 mm ID to fit between the posts.. Will have to make some bigger duals soon. But I'm by no means trying to get this thing out of there anytime soon. Loving both the mod and the atty. It fires just like a dream. Couldn't get fantastic pictures. Got a migraine coming on, gonna PTFO because I have work in the AM. Thank you Ray, believe it or not I was looking through old threads on here and you posted a picture of a vert like this on your velocity. You're the best!

I use 36 or 40 gauge to hold it together.
Start at one end and get them nice and flat together. And just wrap them together around 8 times.
Then do it again close to the first set of wraps. Now you can slide that down the ribbon while holding pressure and they should all line up.

I also use the swivels to my advantage, so with a 6 core I'll cut the ribbon twice the length of my end desired wire, use 3 pieces and fold that on its self around the swivel and then wrap all that together too. One set of wraps near the swivel and one that you slide to the end that goes in the chuck of the drill.

This picture is 40 to bind.
Edit: At the bottom left you can see where it's splitting to go around the swivel and where the ribbon is bound.

I cannot say enough about Lightning Vapes, I dropped an order in yesterday for some more wire and just one 30ml bottle. I already have shipping codes, not like the ones that printed a label so it looks like it's being shipped, but actually shipped label. They must have a shipping robot in the inventory room or a shipping monkey.....

Dumb question off forum subject. Lol sorry ... I was considering a scale for DIY but don't recall the ranges or my needs . I make ranges of 1000ml on down to 5 ml. Can someone help please

Thanks ... So I need a scale with a range of .001x 500+g (or more) right? If I am understanding properly.

If your making 1000 ml you will need a higher rated scale but it will need to read down to .01 g for the smaller batches. I have one similiar to what Chef linked but 300 ml is the largest batches I make.


edit Mine has a 500 g limit.

PG weighs about 1.038 grams per ml.
VG weighs about 1.26 grams per ml.
Most flavorings are grouped together to an averahe of1.0 gram per ml.

The scale I posted will weigh to 0.01 grams, or an average of 1/100th of a ml. More than adequate. It also has options (listed on the same page) for 1,000 and 3,000 ml versions.

You really only need .01 but .001 would be fine also. Most flavors and bases are going to range from .85 to 1.35 g per ml. I average all my flavors at 1 ml because most are close enough it doesn't make a difference. You only need the .01 if you are doing smaller batches. But it is alot faster and easier to mix by weight than by ml.
 
Good stuff ohm! I was there just a short time ago... All it takes is a few hundred, or a thousand, feet of wire and you'll be making some nice looking claptons :) at least it took me that long. U might be far better than I! But I'm stuck -- I haven't moved onto aliens yet!

Matt
Thanks man, it has been a process for me too. I often have wired ideas that I go and try and it rarely ever works out lol. I thought about buying stock in wire...100' rolls do not last long

OK thank you so much for all the help. See I have been doing diy for a long time now and struggle with replication of my mikes. Even though I right down exact measurements , tools being the same.( pipettes, drippers, sizes of batches) everything. The flavors change from batch to batch...lol gets frustrating sometimes..
