Series Mech Coils

[Uptonogood]

Hey

I was hoping someone might be able to give me a bit of a steer. I've been using single & parallel mech's on & off for 5 odd years but until recently resisted the urge to go series. Today ive picked up first series mech (squonk) and not 100% sure how to coil it.

I know the coils should be greater then 0.4ohms and know how to use coiling calculators - what Im unsure of is what materials/gauges to use. Most of my wires are fairly chunky (20 or 22gauge) Ni80 or SS - Any dual coil I build to get them to 0.4 is gonna be fucking huge and wont fit in my atty! (Probably gonna use the Druga or Pulse 24 - although tempted to pick up a goon on way home!).

So any advice on what kind of wire/build I should look at? Im guessing its gonna need more then the standard 5 turns for single cell mechs!

10 wraps of 0.5mm kanthal, 3mm inner, will do you for 0.45 ohms.
Or 7/8 wraps, 3mm inner of 0.4mm kanth.

Ni80 or SS ain't gonna cut it for series builds I'm afraid.

So back to kanthal wires then - not used kanthal for a long while!

10wraps though - doesn't it burn the cotton out in the middle!?

What mod is it? I’ve been on the hunt for a series squonker but could find one.

On my Noisy Cricket/Twisted Messes RDA’s I’ve got a pair of ni80 Fused Claptons in one and a single in the other from @Smut. They’ve been in here since last July and still going strong. I think they were 0.5 & 0.8ohms

Also loving the 2nd hand goon I had from Steve off here!! Squonk pins on its way to me :-)

I picked up a good and some other bits on way home from work - just waiting on the cells to charge!

Get @Smut to knock you up some series coils to your required resistance - last one's I had from him were 3.5mm id aliens coming in at 0.38 for my Kennedy.

As long as your wicking is good then it won't burn the centre of the cotton.
