Solace, after watching Rip Tripper's vid on re wicking the OCC, I'm wondering if there's an easier way ... Do you reuse the coil (which is what I think you are saying)? How do you get the new wick in? Sorry if I'm asking a dumb question

that's the video I watched! I didn't remove the coil - tweezers to remove the used wick through the side holes, pulsed the coil to get the gunk off, and then rewicked as Rip did. took me a few times to get the wicking right, but works great!

waiting on some 28g to build the rba and totally rebuild the OCC.

Joss, depending on where you wish to go with your builds, you may find the 28 to be the limiting factor in getting the coil down into the OCC. It may be a good thing to have some 30 and 32g on hand as well....

Why yes I do but, I cant get to it today. Are you looking to do the RBA base or the OCC coil?

The OCC coil . If ever you have a few minutes and it isn't too much trouble, I'd really appreciate it! BTW, the 1.0 coil on the KFL+ works great for GC! Kinda minty, though ...

ETA: I'll try what Solace did and get back ... Maybe it'll work!

 

[Grrrr]

Then it stays here as it's just one or the other using my mod tools. Glad I asked!

If distorto goes to the edit post function and copies the contents he can just paste the whole thing into the reo thread, if you'd like it there as well I'm sure he'd be more than happy to copy and paste the 2 posts over there.

Good almost afternoon Megs! I posted it here because the person I posted it for is building for a non Reo squonker but if you would like to post it there as well, by all means, go right ahead....

I wonder who these pics were intended for? Can everyone say Chris on 3? 1...2...3

Very good point.....Didn't even think about it Grrrr!

Oh what the hell, I made time..... The re-wicking can be a bit tough as they really pack the wicking in on some of the OCC's. I was going to post a re-wick real quick but after distorting the coil a bit trying to get it out, I just decided to go ahead and rebuild the damn thing!

The stock coil is built to 3mm while the wicking ports are 2mm. So to make things easier, I wrapped the new coil to 2mm as well.

So after dropping the coil in the hole and aligning it with a toothpick, I then installed the insulator plug and the pin.

On to part two as I believe we are limited to the number of pictures per post......

Part two......

So after putting the coil together, It was time to check the ohms. ( note: looking down the hole, you can see that the coil got a bit out of line when installing the pin. I simply fixed this by rotating the insulator plug and pin.)

Next up is the wicking. I cut and rolled a length of KCD and rolled to a fine point at one end. Since the coils to be used are spaced, I wasn't overly concerned about using too a bit too much and thus the possibility of receiving dry hits. In fact, I rolled so that it would go through the juice ports and through the coil fairly snug but not overly tight. Once it was through, I tucked some of the wicking onto the body of the OCC to bunch it up a bit against the two sides of the coil as to help prevent any flooding and then trimmed it up to the holes. ( note again: the other side of the OCC has already been tucked and trimmed)

And there you have it loaded with Got Cookie wide open at 18 watts

The funny part of this whole deal is that it took me longer to put this damn post together than it did to re-build and fire the SubTank itself!

Distorto, I am overwhelmed! Thank you so much for doing this! The toothpick is brilliant. I would never have thought of it. Tomorrow is chemo day, and I'm always looking for a project to do beforehand. Now I have one!

Like I suggested before, give it some time with a good steep. The mint was a necessary evil according to Clark in order to hit the chocolate notes just right. It will defiantly subside over time...

Chemo day? Nope! Don't like the sound of that. Don't like the sound of that at all!....

Yup. But we are very optimistic -- aggressive, but caught early. Maintenance chemo will go on for years, as long as I stay in remission. I'm doing my part, and better yet, I'm learning to dance in the rain!

Dancing in the rain? Keep up the good fight and you go for it girl!
