Kanthal Ribbon

[cloudcuckoo]

I was trying this fused thing you speak of, sneezed and this happened - vapes ok though.

Yup, ribbon is great and lets you get funky in a quick and easy way, because of the 0.5 floor maybe single core but do a really tight, overlapping clapton so it looks a bit like and armadillo once done, i find that gives off good flavour in a tight space.

Tiger is good too.

Play with it, its great stuff. hazard93 is dead on, get it fused in a dripper and you're flying.

It's alright, I enjoyed making it if nothing else!

I used (and sorry for the measurement system, I'm trying to change!):

2 strands of 28awg with .5 ribbon evenly wrapped over it, wrapped with a 3mm ID and what I would call 8 wraps but some might call 7 and a half.

I will try a tiger coil with.a 28awg core.. But how do you work out the resistance? Not sure I can find a way on steam engine..

Probably the easiest way would be to measure the resistance of a 10cm length, multiply that by 10 and compare it to a known wire and use that wire in steam engine

Kanthal A-1 (mm)	AWG	Resistance (Ω/m)
.15mm	34/35AWG	81
.17mm	33/34AWG	63.01
.20mm	32AWG	43.60
.23mm	31AWG	32.85
.25mm	30AWG	29.30
.27mm	29/30AWG	25.53
.28mm	29AWG	22.69
.30mm	28/29AWG	19.60
.32mm	28AWG	18.02
.35mm	27AWG	14.95
.40mm	26AWG	11.74
.50mm	24AWG	7.2
.60mm	22/23AWG	5.16

How about this?

Wasn't sure the ribbon was going to fit but 1.0ohm bang on, vapes like a champ at 14w and is the most flavour full build I've done on the NextGen to date, but the most intense meshy dry hit at 15w!

I can live with that..

The world went mad when the postless rda was released, at a glance you appear to have the worlds first coil-less rda.

Nice thinking dude, hats off.

Sorry mate I'm not sure I follow you there!.. What have I done?

Awesome, text book build to my eye

stealthvape , no doubt it is.
technoman never had the pleasure of a genny and ones i've seen look a bit less desirable than this. I think it looks great but if a noob to gennys (for instance me) took a glancing look i might not even notice there was a build there at all. Super tidy.


All meant as a compliment - hope thats what came across.

Cheers

No totally, just what you said before made me wonder if I'd done something revolutionary without realising
