Twisted kanthan build

[mreeveshp]

I'm wanting to build a twisted kanthan build in my tobh, I was thinking of using 26G and aiming towards .28-.3 ohms. Do you think that would be a good cloud chasing build and what ID and number of twists would you recommend

Thanks

Depends on how big the post holes are. The number of wraps is dependent on the size of the mandrel you wrap around. With twisted Kanthal, you want to go macro-coil, or about 3mm.

So you think that would blow some big clouds my tobh has big post holes I have had them drilled out and

Right now I vape 6mg and thought about dropping to 3mg to get harder and longer pulls but I have to chain vape 6mg to keep me somewhat satisfied and still have a cigarette here and there, but I went from a pack and a half a day down to 6 cigarettes at most of the time less

Use this calculator to help build the coils, if you're using Kanthal, it would be the A1 type.

Go up to 9 or 10 if you are still having a nic fit.

Have you had the air holes joined on your Tobh? That helped mine a LOT. I use either 3 strands of 28 guage twisted into one for each coil wrapped around a stanley precision screw driver anywhere from 4 to 8 times depending on which mod I'm using.

What's the best way to twist kanthal

 

[mike-c]

There are tons of videos on YouTube using the drill method. I'm on my phone right now or I would post a link for ya.

I'm having good thick clouds on a single coil 2 strand twisted 28g 8 wraps around 2.4mm mandrel but I'm using a regulated box at 45 watts. It ohms out at .9

Check out 'Twisted Messes' on the tube. He usually shows how to build those coils too.
