My First Working Coil Build!

[lucerne1979]

Hurrah, finally managed to build and wick a working coil. Did parallel wrapped 26/32 Clapton in a dual coil set up, comes in at 0.14 ohms. Looks messy but I'm proud of it lol.

Keep practicing and you'll only get better. Great job on the first build. Follow the coil porn thread in this forum it'll get you motivated & also great people sharing advise & tips

Cheers mate. Yeah, think I've got the bug now. I was struggling before trying to build on a Uwell Crown RBA but picked up a Mutation 4vs and that's made it much easier.

Yea you'll be addicted soon ha. I randomly build for the hell of it now, even when my coils doing perfectly fine I make a new one. It's great fun, great YouTube videos / tutorials available too once you're feeling adventurous.

Lol I went through a phase of re-coiling and wicking every day when I was learning, too much time on my hands! Nowadays it's maybe once a week but I find it strangely therapeutic!

Yeah I've been stupidly busy lately, haven't had time to play about but I get lost in it. Can easily kill a few hours playing with some wire lol

Would always recommend RDA's to practice on lol. If I went straight onto an RTA I could guarantee I would have given up on the first build lol.

Looks decent and the spacing on the claptons looks consistent. Only thing I would recommend is use a 3mm screwdriver and pull each wrap tight to get a clean finish. That'll come over time though
