Flattened Ni80 Coil building

[RaymondoBeyondo]

Hey guys. I've just got my first roll of flattened Ni80 in this mornings mail and I thought I'd whack a build together. Then I thought I would make a thread on here, my experience and your responses might help someone else.
I am by no means an expert but I've built a few coils.
It is a little bit more fiddly to wrap than round wire as it folds over on itself if you squeeze it too hard on the jig. I just used my fingers to wrap round the jig which worked fine.
I used 24AWG Ni80 Flattened Wire 0.68mm x 0.3mm from The Crazy Wire Co. (I believe this is the same as Brochrome from Stealth Vape).
I made 3mm diameter, 7 wrap spaced coils which came out at 0.44 Ohms each, 0.22 in dual coil build. The deck is a simple velocity on a Maze RDA V2.
The coils feel more resilient on the deck, more solid than round wire or claptons. The ramp up time when dry burning to test is quite quick. I barely adjusted the coils at all, they heated from the inside out perfectly with no hot spots or problems.
They look good and have a lovely blue colour after heating due to being Ni80. If someone was particular about symmetry I would recommend.
Now to get vaping!
Please feel free to comment if I have done something wrong or I could improve it.

Been thinking of getting some of this or some brochrome for a while. Currently using ss flat clapton and ss juggernaut, just fancy a change

Be interested to hear how you get on!

I found it easier coiling on the jig using my fingers to do the actual coiling rather than the other part of the jig, as like you found, it kept coiling over itself.
I've now got the flat ni80 in all my rebuildables.

Looks good to me, it's pretty much what I use for all my squonk RDA's.

nouthing roung with those old boy how you finding the vape useing them

It really is the go-to wire for mech squonking and to be honest it's my favourite wire for all sub ohm builds. No spitting, fast ramping and tons of flavour.

I've been playing with it lately after watching this guy:



Using it in much more modest, single coil setups. Even in a Billet Box. I can use far less energy to get the same vapour density

Looks good i may have to try some out. I mostly use https://www.fasttech.com/p/4455800
or for series mechs this https://www.fasttech.com/p/4239300 both ramp up fast and need less power than same ohm round wire

It seems to fire up quickly, it tastes somehow 'cleaner' than kanthal, twisted kanthal and kanthal claptons, cleaner than twisted Ni80. Produces more vapour in comparison.
This build was a bit harder for me on postless deck but I cracked it.
3mm, 6 wrap, dual 0.4 build coming out at 0.2.
