Has anyone tried rebuilding the 1.5 eLeaf "style" coils from Fasttech? I'm assuming they are the same as the originals?

Not sure if they're the same coils but I rebuilt one that came with the clone GS Air M and MSs that I bought from fasttech.

They are not exactly the same but they do disassemble the same way. The slots on the sides of the coil chamber are smaller. I couldn't fit a 2mm mandrel in there. Also, the silicone washer on top is much thicker so there was a small gap where the base screws on.

I decided to build an oval coil using 2 finishing nails,that measured about 1.8mm, glued together . I used 28 gauge kanthal and 300 SS mesh for the liner. It came out in the 2 ohm range which is a little high for my tastes so I didn't use it much.

I decided to try again today. I used the same method as before with 5 wraps of 28 gauge wicked with Ko Gen Do cotton. This time it measured about 1.2 ohms. It seems to work OK but I think the 300 SS mesh is a bit tight for my high VG juice. I might pick up some 200 or 250.

I was building some oval coils and I used some small zip-ties to wrap around - worked pretty good...

Probably the GS Air M.

I prefer the GS Tank but it comes with nickel coils for temp control. I use the regular 1.5 ohm coils in mine.

They are on sale at gotvapes for $4.95 limit of 2.

Many of the eLeaf tanks are very similar so it often comes down to personal preference and such factors as size/price etc. I'm a big fan of Sweet-Vapes, but if I could, I'd like to make a suggestion offered by Gotvapes.

Eleaf GS-Tank Temperature Control 3ml Stainless & Glass [gv=EleafGSTankTC] - $4.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

One of our other members, IMRs, came across this deal and shared it. I'm a fan of eLeaf tanks, so I bought two. After trying them, I bought two more. Excellent and versatile atty for $4.95 while on sale.

They come with TC coils, but I'm a dedicated Tootle Puffer, so I just put 1.5Ω coils in them and love the vape. Just a suggestion if you're looking for something to try. Can't beat the price.

 

[gandymarsh]

I see that the GS Air M is out of stock at sweet-vapes. They do have the 1.5 ohm coils though and gotvapes only has the 1.2 ohm.

Of course there are the Lemo, iJust and Melo tanks but I've never used those. I own a Lemo 2 but have never used it.

Go here and use President as the Coupon Code for the GS Air M Tank and the 1.5 Ohm Coils. I did the math and this place is the cheapest;

Rocky Mountain Vapor, The Mountain top of Electronic Cigarettes

Then grab a couple of the TC Tanks from gotvapes and use the 1.5 Coils in them as suggested above.

The GS Air M is a great Tank with the 1.5's.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. I plan on buying quite a few of these tanks for x-mas gifts to family and newbies. I'm going to keep my eye out on black Friday specials as well.

Glad you are enjoying these tanks, my friend! They are inexpensive, don't waste juice, and have great flavor. Win/win

Does anyone know what age verification system Rocky mountain vapor is using?

 

[MikeADore]

I ordered five packs of 1.5Ω coils from them earlier today and was never asked for any information.

Thank you for the info.

I'll acknowledge up front that this is a dumb question, but, hey, I never let that stop me before. So...several of you use an Evod base while rebuilding the 1.5Ω coil. If you have a moment, could someone post a link to an Evod base for me? When I search, I find tons of Evod stuff and can't quite figure out what I should order. I wasn't around when that equipment was in heavy use, so it's all foreign to me.

I use a Protank mini base. I found this Kanger Connector Base Mini Pro Tank 2 and Mini Pro Tank 3

 

[gandymarsh]

The regular Protank base would work also Kanger ProTank Replacement Base

the T3s/MT3s bases are cooler because they are 'knurled' , making them LESS slippery (cheap too)

I ended up buying the GS air 2s. The M tank was OOS. 30% off today was a good deal. I picked up a Sigelei Mini 30W Box Mod as well to go with it.
