Getting really frustrated with my coils!

[BAzz]

Hey thanks for your post BAzz, I am not sure I understand what you mean though about squeezing the top coil?



PS we would never tell you to eff off! We're totally new at this whole rebuildable thing so we need all the help we can get!


ZT Thanks its just a lil 10x magnifying lens I picked up off of ebay ages ago for dirt cheap I love it though!

No prob.. Ok, the wick is like a hollow tube, right? With the coil wrapped around near one end (I'm taking vertical, wick down into the tank style of atomiser here)

So, you stick one prong of the tweezers down inside the coil until the other prong is at the top coil. Then just give it a squeeze.

The point is, you want as much of the coil actually touching the wick as possible. Anything not touching, is not contributing to heating the juice one bit.

here's a pic of my DID

You an see that the path from coil to post at the top is very short. You can also see something that I've been playing with - Once the wick is rolled and oxidised, roll another much thinner one and oxidise that, then insert into the first wick.

Not sure yet if the wicking is vastly improved but it's certainly working well.

Thats 3/2 wraps of 0.20 Kanthal, registering 1.5ohm.

Right several coil popping, strange ohm reading, wick bending, crap tasting, soil destroying hours later and getting more vaping pleasure from a Mega DCC in between I'm in the verge if giving up this lark

I found some fag papers so I'll try that trick tomorrow if I have the willpower


Meantime Cobra back in it's snake basket for now. It's not the Cobras fault at all. It is a quality piece of kit but considering the cost over Vaping experience I'm very frustrated indeed.

Well, if you decide to sell it, I'll probably be interested. Looks like a nice bit of kit.
