My Von Erl

[dansus]

Figured out how to re-coil the little buggers. Used 32g kanthal, 0.21mm and took 1 wrap out from stock to get a bit more heat from the coil. Works well, gets better with each tweak.

Want to try Ni80 next, should give it a faster ramp up, cleaner taste and longer life.

Can you go into some detail here? I haven't seen the internals of the von erl maybe pics during the process?

I have a Myjet - decent vape but touchy relatively easy refill, can lighter burn the coil but hard to not start burning the plastic.

Juul - No real chance of rewick, much cooler vape, not enough throat hit with stock juice or DIY juice. Probably gonna sell the Battery and Charger for $22 shipped

It appears I might have to default to the iCare since those seem to be relatively easy to rewick/recoil, but if I could do the von erl with good results i'll buy that next.

Hard to explain fully but.. I use a 1.5mm coil master jig, 6.5 wraps of 0.21mm, coil in reverse from normal.

Using the coil jig, lay it in place and line up the wires roughly in the right place. Use a small watch makers screwdriver to push the wire into the groove and down between gold plate and plastic surround. Repeat for other side, snip an tuck wire down. Check for clearance, test fire and wick.

Sounds easy, its not but with practice, its doable.

so on those gold contacts.

do you bend the tabs out a bit or just sort of force the wire in?

They are pre-bent. Use the screwdriver to force it in, but its tricky, has to be just the right angle.

Anyone know what resistance the stock coil is on the Von Erl? Is the draw tight like the nautilus mini? I have a Myjet and Cync, considering a Von Erl now.

 

[dansus]

1.5ohm. Its a tight draw, different feeling from the MyJet because you have to suck quite hard to get it going.

thanks Dansus!

Running a test to see how long i can keep a pod going, so far ive refilled one about 20 times, with 4 dry burns and rewick. Flavour and vape quality is still on point.

ps Can we get this thread moved to the Vape Pod Systems page? Make it much easier to find again. @retired1

Told ya the pods are 'mazing to refill I'm sure MVE is not happy about that but ... their pods are affordable enough and I do buy them but it's nice to know you can extend the life with no loss of flavor and etc

Well I'm certainly glad to see how much easier these pod systems are to those that require constant refilling and rebuilding.

Its all party of the fun.

If you dont mind paying for new pods, its easy.

 

[Smoke_too_much]

Yes gotcha, I was being facetious since I more than enjoy working on my RTA's, RDA's & RBA's.

 

[dansus]

Mesh wick update. I keep filling, and it keeps going. Zero change in flavour or vape quality, i dont even think about it any more, it just works.

Work that little plastic thing out and put it on top of the coil before refill, trust me, sometimes, but not all the time, it won't seal properly if you don't.

I'm not having much success with refilling Von Erl pods. What is the plastic thing you're referring to? Is it the thing that you remove, has the coil and wick in it (I would call it a cap) and contacts that fits in at the bottom of the pod? Once refilled they leak like crazy, and drool like crazy ("drool" is a technical term for low-key spitback where the liquid just kind of dribbles into your mouth as you draw). What am I missing in refilling these things? I do notice that when I put the cap back on it doesn't really seat properly - one side is usually higher than the other, almost as if there is back-pressure keeping it from sealing right.

 

[dansus]

@Liazard Take out the 'deck', the bit with the coil in it. Then pull out the rubber grommet in the pod.

Fill pod, place grommet on top of deck and replace the whole assembly back in the pod.

This post I made a while back in another thread may help clarify what I was talking about.

Let me know if if you have any other questions and I'll try to help.

 

[Liazard]

Nice! Works like a charm now, or so far so good anyway. The nice man with the tie in the video didn't mention taking the grommet out . . . he just pulled the deck out, filled, and pressed it back on.

Yea, I had flooding until I figured out the problem, all good once I figured out how to fix it. Glad I could help you.

 

[Liazard]

BTW, there are at least 3 videos on YouTube and none of them mentions taking the grommet out. Many thanks to both of you.

So what I'm calling drooling or dribbling is what you all are calling flooding?

Quick rinse and back to fill

What are you rinsing it with? How to clean these things? Also is there a way to clean the coil and wick section (or a reason to)?
