The way things escalate, i dont think we ever will be. I think im gonna buy stock in temco industries...
Aw, shucks...
I just use warm water, it works fine without soap for me
Drop a wrap off each insteadput the 28/33 sfc's i built yesterday in the velocity replacing the 26/33 sfc's. Much better vape off of these. .27 ohms running at 65watts. im thinking about pulling them out to run a staging wire but would that drop the resistance too much?

Yep... Thanks, brought it down to .22
till I get more kanthal
I honestly don't remember, sorry. I haven't had any problems with it, save the tiny center post hole being a tease for quad 24g
The Tobeco one is the best clone, and then the one on FT with all the Top caps with it, the other clones have broken on me the first build (from center pins to posts breaking off)
I think mine is the Tobeco one. All the clones I buy seem to be.
It looks like if you only did 4 wraps it would have fit perfectly...its too bad that looked like a perfect build in the first pic. I know how much work it is to make them and then see them warp when installing them and its saddening
Thanks, but if you look closer, I think it would have been better off with either 20 or 22 gauge frames.
Maybe, if you wanted the sides even with the Ribbon, or you could have reduced the amount of .8 ribbon in the build to compensate. I think it would be better with the 26 and maybe 4-5 ribbon cores, it wouldnt heat up as hot or fast but I think it would be a great build for a short rda and only help flavor intensity out.
Same here, but I was like "Fuck it", I wanted to make it work. The 0.5x0.1 is a LOT easier to work with than the 0.8x0.1 pictured above. I also just ordered some 0.4x0.1 last night.
This is how Ive done it everytime since I couldnt get them to work vertically:
I almost bought that last week. 3fvape has some good deals on them. Instead I got a double vision and an indestructible. See how those go. Still might pick up a stro though.Has anyone bought or tried the Stro Mini? Ive seen the V2 of it and then I searched for the V1 since it doesnt have the Freakshow Airflow on the V1. It looks like it could be a awesome RDA since it has the Velocity Deck but has a Slightly Taller then Derringer Top Cap....Could be a great flavor and builder rda...
I had some major problems with building my first framed coil. The framing would not stay on the outside of the twist of 30x40k. I was using a paperclip even to keep it flat but it would not stay separated. Any tips on doing framed when not using ribbon?
The only authentic rda that I have is my freakshow. While the tolerances on the fit are tighter than all my clones... it is too tight. It was super tight to get the barrel off of the deck when I first got it, but now it is so tight that I have to push to hard to get the top on. I'm going to have to use some fine sandpaper to open it up a tiny bit to make it come on and off more easily.
I love clones, I own just as many clones as I have authentic gear and some of the clones are better made then their authentic counterpart...like the Crius...
Before this velocity I haven't owned a clone in a year or so. You would think the authentic wouldn't do THAT though.
First rda I got was my velocity mini clone from fast tech. The deck if great and the grub screws are solid. The only thing that sucks is the barrel, or chamber, doesn't stay on. It is super loose. I have even put bigger one rings on but that didn't help. I need to get some even bigger ones. Also, the air flow adjustment is so loose that if you are walking around the house, it moves. I am thinking of using Teflon tape to hold it in place better but just haven't done it yet.
That had to be fun to keep in order while you wrapped it!Internally staged twisted core fused Clapton? @1.6ohms
2-26awg wires, 2- 4-strand 32awg twisted cables, and 1- 6-strand 36awg cable make up the core, claptoned in 40awg. All nichrome. Delicious warm vape. Nonexistent ramp time.

I only ever see twisted kanthal. I have always just twisted my own. I did it many many times until I got it right. What issues are you running into with twisting it up?I'm having a hard time finding twisted stainless steel wire.
I was really surprised by this considering how good a single ss wire can be.
I know that twisted stainless 2 piece isn't really keeping within the geek level theme of this thread
2 piece twisted 28 gauge stainless.
Why can't I find this? Does it exist? Where do I get it??
I tried twisting up some myself kinda manually without tools. And that came out semi ok.
TIA guys.
I only have the same stainless... 28 gauge 430. It is very springy when coiling. I found that when I made that fused Clapton for my aromamizer. As soon as I pulled the coil out to wick... Boing! It was fun coaxing it back into the deck after wicking.
I will def try this next time! Happy New Year everyone!You can wick a vertical coil while it's installed, contrary to what his highness the honorable Rip Trippers says. I just twist the end of the cotton and pull it through from top to bottom. Then gently pull the wick from the bottom with pliers. Snip off the excess, and fan out the bottom of the wick to cover the juice holes. I like to leave about 3mm of wick coming out of the top of the coil and fluff it up to keep the juice flowing all the way through the coil.
EDIT: Happy New Year! The clocked turned to 12:01 while I was typing this.
I had to go watch the you tube video of it when crazy said that. Build the coil, get fitment in the deck, remove coils, wick, install coils again, juice and enjoy. That is how I have done it because I could never pull the wick through without pulling it all apart. I always Scottish roll and that packs it in there. I can try again since I have been doing this for a few more months than I had when I last tried. I have increased my coil building skillset somewhat since last June! Haha
Don't cut yourself short there pal, you've gotten far better.
Thank you on that! Being apart of this thread, you can't help but elevate build skills!Don't cut yourself short there pal, you've gotten far better.
It seems... Reasonable. I never did it that way so it's just different. It's the whole "iteo wick" method that people talk about that you shoot for regardless. After watching the way Ray Scottish roll wicks his, I realized I pretty much wick it that way normally too. I normally just make it work. A little bit of finagling with it but it works out for me

Do you roll the wick tighter on both ends as you're pulling it threw I've been using 30g Ni200 which is pretty damn soft and I've had pretty much no issues but stick what works for you just a suggestion.
