Pre-wrapped coils

[dyanaprajna]

So far, I've used just pre-fab coils. But I was watching a few videos on YouTube about the rba deck on my TFV8, and it got me reading and watching more about rebuilding. So I found that you can get pre-wrapped coils. Now, would you have to have an ohm reader to check the resistance, or would that be unnecessary since they're already set at a certain resistance?

The Ohm reader woukd tell you if your build has a short instead of your mod going BOOM.

Mod won't go "Boom", mod won't fire and give you an error message like Atomizer Short or Atomizer too low.

You don't "have" to have an Ohm reader and just read the ohms on your regulated Mod. It's best to have one and should be in your kit, a decent one is inexpensive and no reason not to have one.

As to the subject of pre-wrapped coils, you can go that route. But to be honest just build your own, wrapping a wire around a jig or a screw driver is pretty damn easy. To find out how many wraps just use www.steam-engine.org, it makes it simple.

Ok. I'm just starting to read up on rebuilding, so its all new to me. But it's something I've been wanting to get into. Thanks!

NP, there's a huge amount of advantages to building. Everything from cost, options to just being fun. You're going to screw up a few coils but it's easy and you'll get the hang of it quickly. Just watch a bunch of different YouTube's on building, there's a ton of them out there. Try a bunch of different styles of coil building and wicking then you'll find your own style that suits you.

Oh also I highly recommend don't screw around with cheap wire, not worth it. The cost of top quality wire is cheap and competes with prices for the cheap garbage that a lot of times is filthy.

These brands are actual Sandvik Kanthal (who invented and hold the trademark) and SS is Smelted in Sweden and Milled in the U.S.

• Kidney Puncher
• Temco
• Atomizer Wick

Not sure where they source the wire but have had good luck with their Kanthal is Pure Atomist.

It will if its a mech. No safety features in a mech.

Well they could get struck by lightning to. Plenty of people build on Mech's without an Ohm reader, especially those that who have Mech's like the Ruby.

In any case no where did the OP state they even had a Mech.

 

[dyanaprajna]

No, no mech. Those things kind of scare me a little, so I use all regulated mods.

 

[Joergl100]

Mechs with good batteries will get hot and maybe sizzle...but not make BOOM! REAL usable batteries do not explode.

Regulated does nothing...maybe there is an "Atomizer short" or sth like that.

Good. Disregard that comment then.

A hard short on a mech is dangerous.

Most regulated mods have a built in ohm meter. If you use a pre-wrapped coil, you can double check it when you screw it on the mod. Also, if you diy your coils, whatever wrap/wire gauge combo you use should come out about the same ohms every time so when you find a combo eg: 26ga/7 wrap should be around the same every time. You can double check every time.
