@KeroZen's post has been bugging the shit out of me but I think I'm starting to understand. We need to increase the surface area of the coil but we also need to maximize the surface area that's exposed to the passing air. I agree with @Vape Donkey 650, we need to look at spaced coil designs...

How is the fit of the 20 wrap coils? Here's my first effort. 24g SS316L, 16 wraps, 2.5mm ID. The coils don't heat evenly. The length of the coils looks too long, the side of the coils facing the posts is compressed and the opposite side is opened up a bit. Maybe this is part of the reason why...

Yeah, I'm not finding much directly applicable to building coils for the StemPod. I've been doing some selective searching through the Bulli and The Project threads using Google and using several variations of search terms like: bulli coil+build site:fuckcombustion.com the+project coil+glow...

Those coils look great @superdang9000. Some thoughts from another noob. As I understand it, the TCR value is a physical property of the alloy used to make the wire, SS316L has a TCR value of 0.00092. Single coil, twisted, or clapton, the configuration of the coils doesn't change the TCR value...

Please help me out. As I understand it, using the FJ firmware, cruise mode keeps the atty warmed up for a set period of time so that the user gets vapor immediately when they start to draw, correct? Cruise mode isn't needed with the SP using the stock notch coils since they heat up very quickly...

Three of them didn't know what I was talking about even with a pic on my phone, large US city. I'll check eBay next time.

Where are you finding the nicer ones? I tried four local b&m vape shops before resorting to Fasttech.

What are you trying to protect, the Splinter or the box mod? I know some here use a heat sink to protect the 510 connection on the Splinter due to reports of the body of the atty separating from the 510 portion and spinning freely. My opinion on this is that if my Splinter has this problem I'll...

I'm getting a CM kit and starting with SS. How close do we have to be to the resistance of the SP coil (0.12)? What about the resistance of pre-made coils? I'm familiar with Ohm's Law but in practice what are we talking about? Less than 0.20 ohm? 0.50 ohm?

I'm also wondering what range of gauge we should be considering. I'm looking at a spool of 26 ga twisted wire. The type of wire isn't specified, should we be looking for SS? Is there a target resistance we should be looking for? My SP with original coils reads 0.12 ohms. I'm looking at a...

I hear you my friend, well said. The mods are indeed a means to the end of producing vapor. Don't get me wrong, using the Splinter in VW mode is a perfectly valid way of getting vapor. I'm vaping to treat chronic pain and sometimes I don't feel like skillfuly wielding a torch to get my Lotus or...

I'm curious about this too. I was guessing the coils would last for weeks not days but that doesn't appear to be the case. Based on what I've read about e-cigs and RTA's (rebuildable tank atomizer with replaceable coils) yes, we can expect to be replacing the coils on a regular basis, the...

That's a good looking rig, please let us know what kind of battery life you get. My SP on the Battlestar Mini with a newish Samsung 25R gets me three long sessions, can't get through a fourth. Yes, x100. Thanks. I've read that for a mod's TC mode to work well it needs a wire with a higher TCR...

This is the kind of thing that pisses me off, best I can tell this information isn't on the RBT website. They have an FAQ page but it doesn't address this subject. I don't give a shit, I'm going to keep using my Splinter in TC mode. :D I'm not trying to be a dick but I'm going to save up my...

How so, can you please elaborate? E-cig coils range from simple round wire, single wrap coils to quad coil fused clapton monstrosities. How does the RBT HSA heater differ? For the record, my Splinter using a Smoant Charon Mini works perfectly in TC/TCR mode. Mine is set up to press the fire...

Thank you, I'll check those out. I've been looking around for other coil making resources and found the following: steam-engine.org - Ohm's Law Calculator and Coil Wrapping Calculator Coil Building subforum at Vaping Underground

I checked mine before first use and the coils were like you see in the pix, no alignment needed. What materials are suitable for user made coils? At some point I'd like to make my own.

I thought the change was to make the Splinter more compact, pure speculation on my part. This statement is from an email from Ryan responding to my question about what stems will fit my recently purchased Splinter: "the Splinters up until now have been 19/22 as we are just making the...
