I just made my own coil!!!!!!!!!

[Altaire Versailles]

lol I know I sound like an idiot but I'm proud of myself!!!

Ive vaped over 2 years now and always used clearos for convenience. Somebody at my job stole my mod with my subtank on it and I was kind of ...... to have to wait a month to get a new one from FT. So Im sitting here trying to finagle a iclear 16 onto an old Vamo with stripped threads over and over and I'm getting even more irritated and then I remembered- I had this old $8 Octopus rda that I bought when I first started vaping and never used because I couldnt build anything under 1.2 ohms on it because I didnt have a mech mod, and I could never get it right and the vape sucked and it took 2 or 3 seconds to even fire. But I remembered I had just bought this cheapo $10 Sentinel mod a few weeks ago that I hadnt messed with yet!

So I tore off the 2 year old build that was still on there, punched another airhole in it with a nail and hammer, did a 4/5 wrap on the screw that came with the subtank, ran some koh gen do through it, tested it on the vamo, got 0.9ohms, dripped on it, rigged it up and put a fresh battery in my mod...cloud...cloud...CLOUD...LOOK WHAT I HAVE CREATEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!

I still want my subtank back though dripping is a PITA I dont wanna carry a bottle around for a month. But it beats that iclear16. I always thought the vape sucked so bad because I didnt know how to build it correctly, it was just I was building high resistance coils on a VW mod that didnt go above 15 watts.

I know nobody cares, whatever, I feel pretty damn great about it lol...

COngrats. It might not seem like a big deal, but it was exciting when I rebuilt my first Vivi Nova head all by myself a few years ago. That lead to my fav rebuildable atty that I still use everyday.

Now you got it and be careful. It can be so exciting that one can get carried away by the "atty" addiction.

congrats Wahooooo

 

[daleron]

Not at all!!! I still remember the feeling when I made my first

So that's the fog I saw over Lake St Clair yesterday...

Oh man I remember thinking the Vivi nova was the best thing anyone could ever think up...who knew

 

[Bunnykiller]

next thing is you will find yourself buying pipe tobacco and everclear and making your own juice

 

[UncleMike]

Making your first build that actually works the way YOU want it to ... priceless. And it will keep getting better and better because now you have the confidence to know you can do this, congrats

 

[Dextrose]

That is Awsome! i remember my first build what a mess lol, but with some practice it only gets better, building has become for me the one of the fun parts of vaping, just remember to be safe, Happy Vaping

Congrats! I am just now getting into the coil building and it is an awesome feeling! Good for you!

 

[Fuzzy Bruce]

Congrats! I too, remember my first successful coil. I also remember my first RDA and still use it once in awhile.

Now you sound like the perfect candidate for a bottom feed squonk box. All the best of the dripping world without actually dripping.

 

[Jugband]

Congrats! It is a great feeling! No going back now!

 

[DingerCPA]

Don't sell yourself short, Altaire. It's quite liberating knowing you can build your own coils now

I remember my first one, and I thought I was amazing and awesome That was almost a year ago, and I still have the itch to build. I have a couple of kayfun clones and a couple of RDAs. I *want* more, but I think I'm going to sit back for a while and play with what I have....

 

[Cloudmann]

Your training progresses well, young padawan...

 

[LeftofCenter]

Awesome! I just started building my own as well and it felt great when I made my first good coil!

Somebody at my job stole my mod with my subtank on it

The phrase "over my dead body" springs to mind.

 

[Deryan3]

Misfortune turns to fortune... sorry you jacked, glad you found some happiness

 

[BlueCanary]

Yay! That's a great feeling! And eventually it'll become second nature to you, and you can do it quickly and accurately, and then you'll feel all self-sufficient, like no matter what happens even if the vapeocalypse comes you can always build your own coils.
