New Vision Spinner, general questions

[chemicalemily]

naw, you won't hurt nothing
(just your feelings about bad taste)

so you say you rinsed it very good, then let it dry - cool !

so looking at rebuilding a coil didn't scare you ? (super)

it IS a cool hobby and you can make coils to your liking

+ add cotton instead of the silica wick makes a BIG difference !

I just lol'd pretty hard. I sell yarn for a living. I can get 600 yards of cotton yarn for $1.50. : )

I also actually spin my own yarn out of natural fibers. That'd be a whole new level of crafting...spinning my own wicks!

hey now, that's cool

I get that (320 ft) @ wallyworld $1.67

cotton wad/balls are ok, but the yarn is SO consistent

you wrap the wire coil (around toothpick)

install it in coil body

then when coil taste goes bad (like you now)

you gently pull cotton out, and thread new in

sweet-n-simple, like new again for another week or so...

Man I gotta learn how to do that. So are you saying, theoretically, I could do that on my burned out dual coil right now? Oh wait, no, right? because I need the wire.

well, the "DUAL" coil is a different animal

but the simple "SINGLE" coil (like RBC) yes

it is what I use and have stuck to for my year and a ½ vaping...

once I wrap a coil wire then install it into coil body
it last months, just pulling cotton in & out

cotton gets gunked up, burnt, or just to change flavors or

just hobby around and freshen it up - just so simple

 

[chemicalemily]

Awesome! Well the next time I spin some cotton yarn, I'll have to mail you some as a thank you for your help this week. : )

Looks like everybody has been pretty much been answering your questions, so I'll just say welcome. I see your from the fort.... check out the 1st vapo convention coming in February. http://vapeinthefort.com/

Stick with it... you'll get there. Before long you will be upgrading and most likely building your own coils. When I first started, I was overwhelmed, didn't have a clue. I swore I would never build anything. 1 month later and I have an RTA and RDA. lol It's like a disease...but a good one - other than the wallet or purse... but remember, it's to get OFF the cigs, and your health is the most important.

Oh...and watch a LOT of youtube videos and reviews. Gives you an idea of how different things work. My favorites are pbsuardo and rip trippers

 

[chemicalemily]

Oh, and just something to keep in mind with those wallyworld/ any commercially bought cotton yarns.....they use a TON of chemicals in dyeing those, even the pure cream or white ones. I guess it's not a huge deal, since they're just absorbing the juice and not technically burning. But just wanted to let you know.

EDIT: The main chemical they use in the white or cream ones is bleach.

Simply Cotton Organic Worsted Yarn Knitting Yarn from KnitPicks.com

This is a fantastic completely natural cotton, and if it's too thick, you can split the plies apart

Oh man I've been nerding out on this stuff since I got mine. I have no doubt I'll be building soon. And thanks for letting me know about that convention! If I don't work, I'll be there.

yepper, I figured as much
found the ecru hoping it had the least dyed & bleached

I spool off about 25'-30' and boil it (trying to sanitize)

Ok, so my buddy last night gave me a 'spare coil', but it seemed to me it was wrong for my tank, but I just nerded out on rebuilding it following that video. as a comparison....this right one (my coil) is a dual, and the left one (the one I just played around with) is a single?

Yepper
and it won't fit mini pt3 because it's not tall enuff

if you put it in, screw base on, the silicone cup washer won't
touch the air tube to seal
(vis-vers, there is not enuff room to put a tall one into a single coil body)

 

[pufZeppelin]

my fix to convert the bcc to fit the bdc tanks
I cut a piece of tubing, slide over the chimney
to make up the 'gap' to the bottom of the air tube

 

[chemicalemily]

Ok, and thank you for that diagrammed pic. Helpful. Though I must say....it was fun to rebuild it. Definitely made me feel like, I could do this. I knew all this yarn I had around the house would come in handy! Ok, I'll update when I get my new stuff in the mail!

 

[pufZeppelin]

just kinda thinking ahead some
since we/you are getting geeked up about the new hobby
a few tools to start gathering
needle nose
tweezers
wire cutters / nail clippers
small phillips / flat screwdrivers
& the all mighty ‘ohms tester’ (test for shorts and what Ω you just built)
- Smoktech OmniTester - Miscellaneous - Accessories
- $3.00 PLATO #170 Flush Cutter for Rebuildable Atomizers - max.040" (1mm) dia copper Wire at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

since you can’t sit your evod/RBC style upside down (when base is off)
need to make a stand that you can slip the open tank into so not to fall
poke holes in : egg carton, small cardboard box, etc
what I did is made some fancy ‘carved’ out two teir stands from
(wait for it)
floral foam – works like a dream and about as cheap as it gets
(compared to lumber, plastic, metals)

What I would give for some rubber tubing right about now. Oh, and by the way. Went ahead and ordered that new tank. I figured, 30 bucks now versus analogs for the next however long.....

I use floral foam to shove my tiny double pointed knitting needles in all the time so I don't lose them. I can buy all of this list except for the ohm tester where I work for 20% off, no less! What do the ohm testers do, exactly?

it makes sure you built a good coil, no wires touching so to short out your battery

build your coil

then screw it in your base, then ONTO the tester, flip switch and it shows you what the resistance is (Ω)

if bad it shows - - or 0.00 or what ever tester you have

 

[chemicalemily]

That blows my mind. How does it even WORK? Like, how does it do what it does?
