You sir are awesome! I know you very rarely reply to messages, but I hope you at least read this. I smoked 2.5 packs of cigs a day pretty much since I was 17 years old. I am now 47. It is because of your advice and steering me in the right direction that I am now tobacco free for 152 days and counting! It was the MVP battery and Nautilus tank that finally got me off cigs, and it was your reviews that steered me to them. Then I went with a Russian 91% at your advice, and loved it! And then went with a Cloupor clone of the DNA 30 for even more watts and power, although I rarely went above 10 watts...lol! And then your SquapeR video intrigued me and I managed to get an authentic, and its AWESOME!!! I don't want to sound dramatic, but you probably saved my life. Seriously. Thank you.

Hey Rip, because of your videos, I am now into rebuildables. I purchased a nemesis mechanical mod, plume veil RDA, efest 35 amp 18650 battery, and 24 gauge kanthal. Thank you for putting out these videos. It gave me the confidence to get into this new world of flavor, clouds, and fun. Keep it up!

I would really like to see a tutorial on wicking techniques and strategies for flavor vs. vapor production! I know you can't show every single type of coil due to video length, but I've been experimenting and watching your videos and wonder where your motivation comes from and what you're looking for. Thanks again for another great video!

I love you enthusiasm. I was using a protank setup for like a year and finally moved up to a Kayfun RTA. Even without knowing anyone that really vapes to help, I have been blown away by the results. I am totally following your series. Thanks guy.

Hey man I just wanted to let you know how appreciated you are. I was in a B&M shop recently and I brought up your channel and the woman clammed to have met you/know you I don't really remember but so many of these tutorials are like 97 hours long of some guy droning on with awful views and within minutes I'm bored. You're tutorials and reviews are the most informative, entertaining, and fun to watch that I have ever come across. Thank you on behalf of someone who is still relatively new to the building process (but smoke free since February WOO HOO!l). I never feel stupid or left out for not knowing what you're teaching. I'm not sure if you get paid or sponsored or anything but it is a crying shame if you don't. I recommend you to EVERYBODY I know when they first leave the dark side and come over to the wonderful worlds of clouds and coils. Thanks buddy.

I'm new to building RDA's and I like how informative your tutorials are. Great work!

you should go over how resistance works. (different size wire, size of coil, duel compared to single, ect)

RiP Trippers keep doing your videos bro I've been vaping mechanical mods for about a year now thought i had it mastered but your videos are opening all new doors to the vaping community and my vaping experience thanks man keep on chuckin 😤

Almost a year without part 3

I'm glad that your going back to the basics for all the new guys coming into this. Greatly appreciate your dedication to help keep people from smoking.

Your videos are awesome! I have gotten 5 of my friends into the vapelife and whenever they want to learn how to build I send them to your channel. Thanks for everything RiP!

Hey Rip big fan of your videos. I have been Vaping for years but never had luck with building until I found your channel. Micro coils and cotton changed my life, thanks for all the great videos. -Reece

Thought I'd hit you up before you do a wicking tut. I just figured out a great material! Untreated sterile medical 4x4 "universal sponges". They are 100% cotton and sterile and best of all are quilted for absorption of fluids. Been using them for little while now and sop up every drop and never run dry early on chain vapes. I cut about 1x1.5" piece and roll it into a rod and just slide it through. Of course the width will change with the inner diameter of your coil. BUT why am I so excited about it? I'm running an extra wide coil, twisted 28 and 10 wraps on a 5/64. Cotton was drying up in the middle and burning off. When I'd pull the cotton there would be nothing left in the middle. With the medical gauze 4x4s being so absorbent I don't get that. It is awesome and you should check it out!

Hey rip thanks so much for these tutorials. Just got my first mod and rda today and im so thankful for the help. Also just got to say my first build worked perfect and clocked in at .5 ohms.

Thanks for this video rip! I explain to my friends and associate about 50 times a day on how to build coils. Now I can just forward this video! You da man Tipster! Stay hard my friend!

"Close as possible" is not a rule of the thumb. In fact it doesn't heat up quicker or better as long as you space it perfectly(just easier to crunch them together). But with having space between your wraps(equally spaced), they do not build nearly as much gunk over use. Which is a HUGE plus to me. It's rather simple. Just wrap and space the wraps apart equally as possible. Then instead of heating(Do not heat) Simply squish the coil with your fingers and let it spring back out. All the benefits of "close as possible" with the added benefit of not gunking up as quick. I wonder what this gunk does inside me...

Coil building 101 part 2 and 3 please!.Thank you. Your videos are awesome, and very helpful! -Shane

Hay Rip, I know you're busy, but I am still looking for Pt2 of this series. It's been nearly 2 years. Even Sherlock hasn't been this long a wait.

You should have made a part about why people would use a that kind of coil like why someone would use a super nano or a macro and the pros and cons of using that set up

Hey RiP just wanted to let you know that I started vaping two months ago and if it wasn't for your KZfaq videos I would kinda be lost so wanted to throw you a shout out. Electrician by trade so I'm handy but still u the man and u saved me some $$$$

Hey Rip. I'm a Vaper myself as well as an employee at a vape shop. I had the same issues with the fact that sonys where coming off the market. So the owner of the company I work for brought in the new Efest LI-MN 35 amp 18650s and they rock dude. They definitely last longer than sonys and I've never had an issue with them so far. I'm a huge fan and love you're videos. Just thought I would let you know about those batteries and also wanted to say to keep doing what you're doing

What I'd like to see is a 101 on the following: Why make macro vs micro vs nano? Does the wrap diameter effect surface area? What are pros and cons of more or less surface area or less? How does length of the coil effect the vape? The wattage needed? What is the common "proper" way to wick each type? When/why is it better to wick through the hole as opposed to around it? How much coil should be exposed? Where should your air hole point? Just some suggestions for next time... thanks Rip!

While everybody is so into sub0ohming, I need to build coils above 1.2 Ohms, potentially up to 2.0+ ohms.Love to see this video done for building higher ohm coils. Love the Riip Trippers! Neil Fallon's brother from another Mother. :-)

Needed to go back to basics and watch this video!

Thanks for the tutorial help. I would have like to seen a coil build on silica wick or can you pull a silica wick thru the larger coil you built?

This guy is awesome. Tons of help. Thanks mate!

good Vid Sir. One thing I would like to mention that WILL help with your super nano coil is to use a Pin vise to hold the needle, it not only holds the needle great (with the hollow style you can put the point of the needle inside the handle) but it also gives you the shoulder to work against . And you can get a pin vise on ebay for a lot less than $10 (just be sure you get the right size).

What are the pros and cons between the the micro, macro and nano? besides the amount of wick being used.

Just made my first coil ever with some organic cotton, and I gotta say if it wasn't for this video I would had been very very confused, so thank you so much for making this expirience so easy, and my first coil turned out to be impressive! Im so proud of myself lol pat on my back.

What I did with the needle, is that I did several layers of tape where the prick of the needle is. And what that did, was basically make a lip like the screwdrivers had, so you can or could have more leverage. Just a heads up if you haven't already tried this.

How do you know which coil size to use with your rebuilds? I'm trying to figure out how to do them before trying them.

When you called attention for cloud chasers, you sounded like Ernie from Bert & Ernie. lol

Thank you for this video. I'm just getting into building my own coils and this is very helpful.

Not that I needed to really watch this but I did anyway you did good at showing newer Vapers good tips. Keep doing what your doing man.

Nice video for people just starting out...One of the things I use to wrap nano coils is body piercing jewelry. You can get it in any small gauge and use a straight bar with one bead off of it. Just clamp on the jewelry with some forceps for a grip, wrap your coil and press it to the other bead to make it tight. If I use a needle I usually stick it in a wine cork for safety and for gripping. Cheers, N8knox

Thanks for all the help

Have you ever tried using the artist wire coil gizmo to build? That's what I use and I love it!

Great video, thanks, I love wrapping coils.

I've been watching your videos and they're pretty good, pretty educational and honest reviews. thumbs up, keep it up mate

Which one of these coil wraps would you use for the diamond coil?

Oh cool. Thanks for showing how many wraps you do.

Did you ever do Coil Building 102?

What build would you suggest if someone is wanting a build that is more on the cool side?

for the nano coils you can wrap it around a hookah poker by fumari fyi

So the trico coil the two tops ones are super nano coils right?

for the super nano or nano, or any time you have trouble holding the screwdriver/needle. a set of vice grips can really make life 10x easier.

hey rip i was wondering if u recomend 22 gauge for coil building

Hey rip where did you get that lack drip tip you use all the time?

Good video Rip!

How do you build a standard coil how do you get it to glow from the inside out

i use a pair of vice grips to hold onto a needle, cuz then i can use the end of it as a lip to push the coil again, and if i have it tight enough it cant make it a lot easier to hold onto

Very informative. I'm thinking of starting builds and this was handy.

Thanks for the video. Now I understand how to build coils for the RBA in my Silo Beast. One suggestion, stick the needle in a cork. You’ll have something to wrap against.🔥👍🏽

Your vids are awesome man. Keep up the good work.

those are some nice paintings on the wall! Where can I get those? Oh also thx for the coil tutorial.

What coil should I build for my first one? I just ordered a Maraxus Clone with a V tank clearomizer.

One "tool" I found for making coils for kanger devices was a ball filling tip. Like for filling a basketball. They are super cheap and just about the right size.

Hey rip, can you make a video on the difference macro, micro and nano. I mean i know the size of the kanthal are different and stuff but what's the different functions and about size of wrap. I don't get it, and maybe a few others don't get it either. I love watching your videos btw, your reviews and tutorials awesome and that's why I hope you can teach us difference. Thanks 😬👌

May I ask...What are the ohms for the 24 ga. and the 28 ga. your using here?

Thanks Trip. Looking forward to the next in the series. 👍😆

You could also explain what the difference in performance is say from a super micro coil and a macro coil and which is better for a rba or a rta

just wanna share a tip if you can't wrap your coils tightly to the screwdrivers or the needles, just put both end of the coil at the same side and just pull it together it will tighten your coil to your screw drivers or needles if your coils is not more than 7-8 wraps

Can you teach something about resistances and how wrapping and different widths effects it

Any benefit to a coil jig vs. the more versatile screwdriver set?

i have a lot of problems, with dual coils, getting each coil to heat up evenly any suggestions?

were do you get your wire from to rap coils

Hey rip wat is the best coil to use on my dna 30 clone

Which coil would you recommend to do fora beginner?

so how do you wick a nano coil? like at first glance it seems impossible to get any kind of wick trough that.

how to change the diameter of a fused clapton? cuz It is too big for my obs crius rta v3

Great job in your reviews, keep it up

I've been using the Samsung 25R. I love it; better battery life, faster charge, and slower power drop than the vtc4 or 5. Plus they're widely available for $15 while the vtcs are $20. Deffinately give them a try!

In this series please go over the difference between bg coils and smaller.coils so a nano compared to macro id like to know

Hey rip thanks for the how to video. Just built my first coil this past Saturday and she fires like a beast not getting the vapor to come out of my face like a huge cloud tho. Not sure if it's the juice I'm using 75vg/ 25pg or the way my rig is set up. Very new to the dripping game but have been vaping for a year now. I have an omega clone rda on single coil because I got the battery with the my on eBay so I'm not trying to blow it up. The mod is a ameravape manhattan mechanical mod and I love it. Any tips on what I can do to get those thunderheads you make?

You should make a video for the do's and don'ts of nickel coil builds

Thanks for the video!! Newb here to RDA's so this will help out a lot!

FYI RiP. The batteries that have taken over are the IMREN 18650 38A high drain and the Vamped 18650 40A high drain. Those two are ***IMO*** the best on the market at the moment. The only other one I have vaguely heard of is some efest battery, but I have no info on it atm.

How do you decide how big they should be or how many times to wrap them ?

How do you know what type of coil you need?

riptrippers does the number of wrap you do make a different on a single coil build???

I bought a Sigelei 100w...... What are the best batteries to run in this?

Please discuss what coils work best on a mechanical mod, particularly how to build coils to heat either instantly or slower.

seeing they never came out with the part 2.. does anyone know a good video that shows how to install the coil??

When is cloud chasing part 3 going to be out

what should I do to get a 0.3 coil resistance ? I mean what type of wire/how many wraps...

Hey rip I no u don't need it and may seem unnecessary but you should check out a coil jig if you haven't already. I'm curious to see what you think of it! Keep doing what your doing man love the videos! Regardless what people are saying you definitely have the best quality videos out there! With reviews and tutorials haters are easy to come by when you cover everything a vapor needs! And man your good at it!

Hey Rip love these video's as I introduce a lot of my family into vaping, and then they all ask on how to build on RDA's eventually. One suggestion though on the Super Nano coils. Go to home-depot and pick yourself up a 4 or 5 dollar drill chuck or even one for a Dremil tool (just a smaller chuck really, and usually cheaper). You then can use that chuck to hold the Needle and give you leverage.

for Goblin Mini... what coil good???

You should do the crown coil build

After straightening the kanthal do you recommend torching it when using 28g so its not so springy when? or what methods could be used when wrapping 28G? I can never get a perfect coil even after straightening the the wire.

whats the best coil to use for a freakshow dripper/18650?

Hey Rip..you shoud do a video on your whole vape collection ... that woild be awesome!

Hey RiP. Been really loving all your videos. You should do a review on the Cloupor T8 to compare with the IPV3 and Sigeli 100W

MNKE 20A 18650's are pretty commonly accepted as being very good for cloud chasing. They have a 60A max draw (pulse), I have one and often vape sub ohm (mostly .2ohm) and the battery doesn't even get warm. I haven't bothered looking for new batteries because these are so good. I hear they're going out of production soon though, they might be replaced with something even better.

can u use a spring to make a coil

which kind of coil is the best for flavor?

Yeah i was researching and wanting to get into RDAs but i still got no idea what regulated battery or general mod to get.

tugboat mod by flawless and i use a mutation x v2 what build should i try

super helpful Rip thanks man!

i use 22 gauge kanthal wrapped 6 times around a 1/8th drill screwdriver and that throws killer clouds with loads of flavor it ohms out at 0.01 ohms
