Looking good for your 1st nickel build. That stuff is soft and squishy. I wouldn't be concerned of it dropping Ωs a bit as long as it stays stable. As to the touching coils - I use a sewing needle inserted gently between the touching coils. 1st from one side, then the other if need be. You can control how much you open/separate the coil wrap depending how far you insert the needle. That works well for me w/ nickel and kanthal coils spaced wraps that are too close.
Good evening porchfam, it's me again once again, I have some new info on my dad and we've had some epiphanies and breakthroughs/realizations.
He's a lung-hitter. He's part of that tiny population that drags off a cigarette straight to the lungs. What's more, he's a "holder-inner" lol... he doesn't do a strong exhale. He sort of holds in the smoke. I realize he's in maybe the 1% of smokers, this shocked me too, but after working with him and a lot of trial and error we've now at least figured this much out.
This makes the evod type setups he's using pretty crappy, the airflow is almost non-existant. I need to get him a good lung hit type setup with airflow and vapor, but he's slow to learn with new things like this(trust me I try very patiently.) He needs a device with no external battery and simple controls, good vapor and not a hot vape. Maybe a Cool Fire IV plus a decent tank? Sorry I'm rambling but I just wanted to share that we figured out why his vaping was less than satisfactory. I greatly look forward to my porchfolk chiming in, thank you guys, have a great evening!
Another suggestion for the Kanger Sub-Tank mini - it can work well for lung hits as it's has adjustable air control.
Wow - you've got some patience to do one of those coils. But honestly - after the work - does it really significantly improve your vape?
Congrats to anyone who was able to snag some!
