I started wanting to build a dual coil this afternoon. Maybe it was everything I've been reading on the forums and on YouTube comments. Maybe I just feel that I can graduate from single coil building coz I've made some nice ones. Whatever the reason, I was hankering to build something new.
Because I have a Smoktech UDA, which has a relatively small deck, I racked my brains on how to fit a dual coil in there. I realized it would be a very tight fit and the risk of shorting (due to wire touching the atomizer body) is kinda higher than what I'd like. So I looked for other build instead. I found the Cottontail build, originally built on a Smoktech Octopus RDA. Since the Octopus has 2 poles, like the UDA, and the Cottontail doesn't seem to require a lot of space, I decided I'd make one.
It's a little difficult to accomplish with a teeny 32 gauge wire. The wire itself is easy to shape, but actually seeing it was a challenge to my poor myopic eyes. Anyway, I managed to do it...
With 5 coils on each "ear", it came up to 3.1 ohms. Lead (length of wire between the last coil and the post) was around .5 mm each.
How's it vape?
NOT so good. Taste was blah. Vapor production wasn't much. Then again, I think it's a coil designed for sub ohm vaping. At 3.1 ohms, I guess the resistance caused the whole set up to heat slow...
Anyway, I'll keep on it til maybe tomorrow or indefinitely. Until I find a more interesting coil to build :D
Vape on, friends!
