    My Coil Rebuilds Keep Reading Low Ohms

    Hey, I've been rebuilding Protank heads for a while, but I've never had any way to check Ohms until recently. I used 5 wraps of 32 gauge Kanthal around 2.5mm Silica with a needle or around a cocktail stick for a cotton build. I've been vaping this build for a couple months on basic Ego...

    Rebuilding Aspire Nautilus, general question

    I am going to do my first rebuild on my Aspire Nautilus since I bought it. I will be doing it per the RIP TRIPPERS video. My question is how well this set up has been working for everyone, and more specifically, how long the cotton wick lasts before having to redo it? Just curious what...

    Sentinel clone 510 replacement rebuild

    Ok, I have looked around and have not found much specifically on this subject. I apologize If I missed a pertinent thread. I purchased one of the aluminum sentinel clones from fasttech and have been reading about the soft threads on it. It sounds like I can basically rely on them stripping...

    Need help on wick and wire

    I am about to purchase a rebuildable atomizer and just need some tips here. I am going to be using it on an MVP2 so I need a higher resistance. I don't know if I should go with 32 or 34 gauge kanthal and I don't know what size wick I should get (anywhere from 1-3mm diameter silica). I know the...

    Best RDA for a beginner

    Hey Everyone! I am thinking about getting a Rebuildable dripping atomizer today. I have never built my own atomizer before so I am new to this. I have watched some videos online and it seems simple enough. I have enough common sense to figure it out. I need a recommendation for something that...

    Nautilus mesh wick and inner sleve rebuild. Just photos, no text and not mine either.

    Reviewing the famous RiP Trippers video on single-coil + cotton rebuild video of a Nautilus head, I came across a comment by Paul Till with a link to this ingenious mesh rebuild. Since I don't have any mesh and ordering some to try it will have me sitting for a good four or five days unless I...

    Glue/Epoxy used when mounting DNA20/30 board??

    So I'm now the proud new owner of an NES DNA20 mod from Joe Litt. I took the back plate off to check out how hard it would be to replace the battery later down the road. I noticed The DNA board, and pretty much everything else inside the controller is being held in place by epoxy or "glue"...

    Question on coil wrapping - new to RDA's

    I just did my first successful build! I built a dual micro coil on an iGo-W clocking in at about .7ohms and so far I'm quite happy. Since I'm new to rebuilding of course I'm watching all kinds of "how to" videos and questions are starting to swirl around my head. I guess my question(s) are...

    Rebuilding an iclear 16 atomizer

    As promised, my picture tutorial of rebuilding an iclear 16 atomizer. I only did a single coil rebuild this time around since I'm running low on kanthal and I really want to redo my protank, but the process is pretty much the same. You'll just have more legs to trim and more coils to keep steady...

    Harsher throat hit when using cotton in Kanger Protank

    Not sure if this is the right place to post this. Mods please move it if it isn't. I recently started using cotton as wick on my Kanger Protank II and Mini Protank II and have noticed a big increase in throat hit. The throat hit is so much in fact that it leaves me with a sore throat. The...

    Organic Cotton Yarn Completely Necessary? Wick question...

    Getting into the vape groove after a while of meddling about. Now wrapping up solid 1.8ohm coils for my Protank II like coil building ninja. Tried some silica wicks and they were ok. Decided to make the switch to cotton yarn, so found a 100% cotton spool and built it. Vaped pretty good with...

    rebuild styles

    So I know there's a ton of ways to rebuild an atomizer. And they sometimes have some weird names. Like the mt pinatobu, walking on water, the slug, micro coils, center coils, vertical coils, etc. So I'm looking for you to post your favorite build design with maybe a description or a video on how...

    Can my air hole be too big and causing flavors to seem muted on my AGA-t2?

    Can my air hole be too big and causing flavors to seem muted on my AGA-t2? I drilled my air hole to 11/16 which equals to 1.5875 mm air hole. I have read people drill out to 1.2 mm. Is this the reason my flavors are not as flavorful?
