Lots of problems with that build.
  • The wire looks to be the wrong type. Household wire CANNOT be used. You need A1 Kanthal (preferably 26 or 28 gauge).
  • You are missing 2 screws. You cannot build without them. It will probably be easier to get a new rda than it will be to find screws that fit.
Here is what a compressed coil should look like.

No it's not usable. It's not safe.

It is however very funny and a contender for build of the year. The idea is you have a coil like Susan posted above running from the middle post to one edge post. You do not need to run both coils, and i'd suggest you start with only one.

You cannot make it from any old wire because you need to be able to measure it for battery safety.

But you did make me smile!

:( but is it still use-able tho ? Can't smack the guy who gave it to me for free ;) . And as i mentioned before i can't access a vape shop in my area / country
Imo. It is not usable in any safe means. 20 bucks will get you a tank of some sorts. Both negative screws are missing on your RDA. Impossible to get a secure ground. You at least need 1 ground screw and perhaps you could run it in single coil mode...

Great!

Also see if he can help you get some 26 & 28 gauge Kanthal wire. Once you do that if you have some precision screwdrivers like these (used for tightening screws in eyeglasses) or even some 1mm to 3mm screwdrivers you can use them to wrap your coils.

I highly recommend this video . Please dont press your fire button again with what you have in there. Buy yourself this Velocity RDA by Tobeco as its an easy one to learn to build on and its only 18 bucks or go to a local vape shop and grab one. It is what I learned to build on and its also one of the highest rated RDAs out there.
