Aye, I got conned by the Veritas hype too. I tried to be patient with it, put in far more effort than it deserved, but in the end it was given away as i'd been smitten with the Mephisto.
What do you guys think about buying wire already twisted? I've seen some on ebay, 26g twisted 10m for about 4 quid. Reckon that's a good deal?
Twist it yourself you lazy shit
Thanks. I'll pass that info on to my gf who I now only see on the rare occasions I leave my vape den, lol.
I just twisted some wire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGrLb6W5YOM
When I wrap my coils I like to be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGrLb6W5YOM
I made an 0.8ohm coil around 3mm, using 0.34 twisted wire. I'm liking the throat hit from this build. It really tickles the back of the throat, in a nice way, lol. Thing is though, I'm not getting as much vapour as I was out of a standard single coil build a 1.2ohms.
The flavour is better on the twisted build but the vapour isn't. Maybe I've got too much wick in there, but I had to fill the 3mm coil so used more.
I think I'll call this one the Celine Dion build. Twisted, nice throat hit, good enough flavour but needs a bit of tweaking to realise full potential.
I made a new coil using 0.4mm, 11 wraps wound over 3mm for 1.7ohms. I'm getting really good clouds from this and good flavour too at 22.2watts. Is this because of more surface area? Thicker wire?
I'd rather only build coils 1.1ohms or higher, so I'm a bit hesitant to use even thicker wire. This is mainly because of battery life and juice consumption, saving me having to drip every 5 mins.
I was thinking of making a parallel coil using 28g, but that's have to be around 0.7 ohms or there'd be more too surface area. I made a parallel coil earlier, but it was 11wraps and wouldn't even fit, lol. The posts need to be further apart.
Glad you've got something that works for you in the V2 at last.
Now, despite your worry over les than an ohm coils, why no make 2 of those and see how you get on with that? As it is a regulated device, you should get a more interesting experience. Certainly more clouds.
Why no try a parallel build wi' the 0.4, only 3 or 4 wraps and give that a bash??
Don't be too worried over lower resistance builds, Ok, I was on 'brown alert' the first couple of very low builds but it turned out all rather well. Currently running a 0.3ohm Clapton coil in one V2 and a 0.4 'Zipper Coil' in the other.
No matter what coil you have, in a dripper you WILL have to refill every few minutes or seconds.
