eGo ONE tank series – CLR coil

[MikeADore]

Going off topic again.I got the cap off one of these dang Kanger OCC coils and pulled the coil out. Now how do I get a coil back in the dang thing?

I rebuilt one of those but the case on mine does not come apart. It's all one piece. I stuck the coil back in through the juice holes. Haven't tried it yet except to test it on a meter. It's 1.1Ω.

ETA: I rebuilt the .5Ω coil since I don't usually like that resistance anyway.

hey Franny

pretty easy, just like others - with exception ;
nice to find a mandrel to fit INTO juice holes on side of coil body

THEN, just wrap a coil (using that mandrel)
insert in coil body - - - - -
•slide mandrel thru to hold (pic #1)
•align tail legs and insert groment (pic #2)
•push in center positive pin clip wire ends (pic #3)
•add cotton and cap (pic #4)
•vape face off (or similar)

leave a little wick tail out makes re wickin easyier

ez-pz, & won't make ya sneezy

good luck

That's the way I do them with the exception of taking the top off. Only difference is I took the coil bodies, drilled the juice holes out to 3mm so I make a 3mm id coil to go in there. No more dry hits!

sweet !

guessin' the holes are about ' 2.6mm - 2.7mm ' // 3mm won't fit, 2.5mm sloppy

I still wrap a 3mm coil, then use a 2.5 mandrel (not drilled any yet)

I like and have good luck with the Kanger occ's, it's just I've let them idle while giving all my attention to CLR's

nice to have a groovy back-up plan...

Hmmm....I used a 3mm drill bit to drill them out. They must have lied on the package.

Thank you. Got it. I'm kinda stuck on the eleaf air's and egoOnes myself. Nice to know the OCC's are so easy

Thanks,Pretty bird

 

[FranC]

I had already watched a vid on rebuilding the the OCC's. I find the personal direction from the folks here work much better for me

Good morning!

Afternoon,Gracie

Thanx @GranFumador , @oplholik , @Cheechako and @pufZeppelin for the advice (and encouragement)...

If I'm understanding correctly...for starters...to build a 1.0Ω to 1.8Ω coil for the CLR heads...I should order...

some Kanthal 30AWG...and...

some SS304 approximately 27 gauge...(or 316L 28AWG)...

Do any of yunz have a favorite site that carries both???


..

 

[oplholik]

I get my Kanthal from Temco, and they do have some SS.

 

[pufZeppelin]

this is probably the best site to get it at - kinda like cotton/rayon, buy it once (bulk) save shipping/time...
- TEMCo Titanium Wire 30 AWG RW0575 - 100 ft Grade 1 TEMCo Industrial
- Kanthal A1 Wire 29 AWG RW0170 - 100 Ft 0.5 oz Series A-1 Resistance TEMCo Industrial

these are ones I used in the past (LightningVapes has no 30g SS)
- Wire
- Wire - Page 1 - Kidney Puncher

 

[pufZeppelin]

Omg. I took one glance at those charts and was ready to throw all my wrapping crap away. Are they even in English?

was it these ya talkin about ?

unless you're into REALLY fine tuning your coil experience, no need to read all the stats
just a simple way to calc what ya might want to build...

316L stainless has a little molybdenum in it, for the benefit of welders. I don't do any welding with my vape gear, so I use 304, also commonly known as 18-8, which is used for surgery and better stainless steel cutlery. I get it in 1 lb dispenser cans from
general aviation shops, who list it as 0.015" aircraft lockwire. As mentioned earlier, it is ridiculously inexpensive. Be glad to send you some to play with before you commit to a larger–--but still very cheap----purchase. Shoot me a private message with your mailing address.

You, together with IMRs, introduced me to Derall juices, so I owe you one.

Built my first coil on my CLR today. 28g kanthal, 2mm ID, 8 wraps with KGD. Came out to 1.5ohms and it's vaping great! I'm not sure if it was beginner's luck or if this thing is that easy to build. Either way, I'm a happy vaper!

Well, it's pretty easy, but you are obviously a coil-wrapping savant.

Seriously, congratulations. Makes me feel a lot more secure about my vaping future when I can wrap my own coils. Somehow, it might even make the taste a bit better, too.

Gerry, I never thought I'd be a 'TCer'. Mr. Fumador twisted my arm just a tad and I don't think I'll ever go back. Really nice thing about the SS is you can also use it in wattage, so it's sort of like Certs... '2 mints in one'. Also, it seems to last forever, along with the rayon.
