Micro Coils to increase Vapor, flavor & TH

[crazyarms]

Ive never had buildup that was that visible on my coils and nothing that would stick around after pulling the wick and dry firing. coils look almost new after that. Maybe its funk from different juice types?

I vape NETs (Naturally Extracted Tobaccos) almost exclusively, and they are notorious coil gunkers. The wick needs to be changed after a tank or two at most.

The same goes for "sweeter" dessert type juices.

I use those dental brushes for the inside and outside of the coils when swapping out wicks.

Rinse, torch, rinse, brush in and out, rinse and a final torch before re-wicking.

I dont see any residue on mine for the first 3-4 tanks. Its when i keep using it that it starts appearing

Gonna try using a small brush

If you've got gaps in your wraps, you're not building it right..

These are the ones I use. I picked up a pack the last time I was in the U.S

When do you guys change your coils? Mine seem to last for 4-5 tanks and they start looking rusted? I wanted to experiment and kept vaping with the same coil once and i was getting burnt taste.
Is there a way to get rid of the rust? No matter how much i dry burn the coil it wont go away

I think I know what your talking about and it's the Reason I want to order some Nichrome. It blues when you tourch it and it doesn't rust if I remember right; more like chrome instead of a steel wire. I had a small amount of it once and can't wait to get it again.

About time I see you post a picture of your build lol. Nice coil bud, looks solid.

I thought you were joking about that coil cleaning routine lol. Wow, you go all out, I just dry burn the coil and rewick, though occasionally I give it a quick brush with my mech cleaning toothbrush.

 

[Dusty_D]

Just to show you what I deal with on some of the NETs I vape. This is after 1 tank (4 ml) of my worst gunker, in a Kayfun Lite. Less than a day..

I've since moved to Microcoils and cotton wick, but I'm lucky to make it through a tank and half with that juice, before having to re-wick.

I've posted my builds before. You must have been chattering away on the NT thread when I did..

Yeah, I usually have my Canadian filter on too, so I missed out lol.

I found these stainless steel brushes a while back and love them. They're available in sizes small enough to clean the bore of micrcoils and won't melt if your coil is hot. Stainless Steel Micro-Tube Brushes - Torrington Brush Works

I find coils will last a long time, generally months, can't confirm or deny this since I usually try a different build before the coils life is up, but have gotten a month and a half off a couple builds before I had to try something different. lol.

I have never seen a rust build up, but have noticed a carbon dust buildup after a couple dry burns and re-wick treatments, which I then use the tooth brush and clean of the residue. I generally get up to two weeks on a wick, so sometimes there is heavy gunkage built up. Surprising me that it was still vaping adequately.

Makes sense. I vape mostly light colored juice that is high vg like watermelon and such. Not Mich residue whatsoever unless I cook juice on accident.

Recently got an eVod, which I hear uses about the same head as the ProTank. When I rebuild one of the heads I plan on using 3mm German silica, and maybe another 1.5mm for a flavor wick if kit needs it. Going to try a fairly conservative micro coil, aroune 6-8 wraps of 31ga. Kind of limited because of the small space it occupies. I see no reason why it wouldn't work great, except wicking may be an issue. Such a short piece of wick is used in these, and I get dry hits sometimes from just the regular set-up. If the German silica can't keep up I'm sure cotton would.

I've built nano coils for my protank and used cotton for wicking. Works good, but even better after opening up the air holes in the 510 threads.

RIP TRIPPERS does a tutorial on building a ss mesh wick and coil in a protank.
He also does one on his "diamond coil" with cotton wick in a protank. I can't remember, but he might do one on a "chimney coil" in one as well.

I have tried everything in a protank that I could think of. My fav is 8 wraps, 28g, 1/16" drill bit micro coil. Just put one of those in a protank3 for a girl that came by earlier today. She likes it better than a dual coil. I've done the chimney several times and its really prone to flooding.

New build, thought I would post it up. Horizontal quad coil in a tri-post RDA (with a twist).


Extremely easy or hard as hell to install depending on the size of your positive connection. Constantly tinkering to try to concentrate heat in the airflow path while limiting v-drop over the coil leads, this just came out.


here's the pics:











7 wrap, 1/16th ID, 28 AWG, twisted positive leads. Total resistance 0.25 ohms.

this is extremely well built...... you own a vape shop?

 

[MattyB1503]

After vaping on the build last night, GD! this thing has throat hit. Well this build has it all; not super crispy like MM but still I was surprised, still trying to figure out why it vapes so well. Hit's like a 0.20 build.

It's defiantly name worthy but I have yet to come up with one.

Nope, I would probably be raking it in right now if I did, higher me a bunch of coil monkeys ...

Stunning in it's simplicity. Thanks for the inspiration (and the fascinating imagery).

Good luck.

Wow thats some serious gunking. How is the taste halfway through the tank?
I have some juices that start tasting horrible after 3-4ml but when i open it up to re wick it doesnt even look close to your level of gunking
