So, after boring the feck out of my 'Vape mate' I thought I'd post my recent email to him in the rare event that one of you chimps might actually find my ramblings remotely interesting. Below, is an exact replica of my email to him and hopefully you might find it at least half interesting. Cheers peeps......
So Chunters, just after Vapefest, I said you'd inspired me into playing around with Claptons a bit more and I'm pleased to say, I have concluded my experimenting...LOL.
So, first off I've been playing with parallel, hive, alien etc' as well as Claptons and in different mediums such as Kanthal, Ni and SS variants.
I have literally built a couple of hundred coils and probably as many hours to reach my conclusion and as you're the only fecker that's half interested in my ''Sad Geek Hobby'' (quote the leech), I thought I'd share my findings.
1. First off, out of all the metal types, I have once again come to the conclusion that SS316 is the best all round metal for me. It lasts forever, it's easy to work with and most importantly of all, it gives the cleanest taste, so for me it's SS316 all the way.
2. All the mega fancy coils are not worth bothering with. I get a tiny, tiny bit extra out of maybe an Alien coil but the feckin time building it just aint worth the hasstle, that coupled with the mega battery drain and vamp up time brings me to the conclusion that Claptons are the way to go, closely followed by Parallel coils.
So with that in mind, I set out to discover the best SS316 Clapton coil......
Now you're probably familiar with Steam Engine but I've been using 'www.steam-engine.org/wirewiz.asp' to fine tune my builds - not many peeps are even aware it exists.
I then played around with various size combinations of core wire / wrap wire. This was the mega ball ache as I wasted feck loads of SS316 just trying out the multitude of combinations. In the end, I settled for a core wire of 24 gauge and a wrap of 32 gauge, which on a 3mm diameter (always my favourite as it balances flavour/ vapour perfectly), with 7 wraps, it comes out on a dual core at exactly 0.2 ohms - I found this in the Kennedy to not only be the perfect size but also the perfect all round combo for flavour, vapour and battery life. I gotta admit I did like a 22/32 mix with just 5 wraps but at 0.1 ohms it ate the battery on the efusion faster than the Octuplet core of the TFV8 so that was a no no.
After settling on this I then discovered that the 'Crazy Wire Company' sold the EXACT same pre-built wire I'd been building myself for less than a fiver for 5 metres of the feckin' stuff so I bought some and it was exactly what I'd been building but without the ball ache of building it.
So my conclusions.....
SS316 Clapton 24 / 32 mix purchased on a spool, wrapped at 3mm with 7 turns vaped at 70 watts using my ever faithful 'Creme Anglais' home mix is my new vaping Nirvana.
Sorry to blurt on but like I say Chunters, you're the only fecker that listens......LOL
P.S. I think I'll post this on POTV as I'm sure there are other 'like minded Geeks' that actually might find this of moderate interest.....LOL.
Jase.
