    Attempt # 26--My quest to build one working coil

    Am I going to need to wait 30 mins every time I fill the tank?

    Attempt # 26--My quest to build one working coil

    I pull doubles and triples for a major freight company. Dripping is not an option. I would like to, but it simply is not safe to do so. I must use a tank.

    Attempt # 26--My quest to build one working coil

    Tonight's build. .98ohm. Fires nicely from the inside out. Under the advice of "less is more" here is how I have it wicked and then with the chimney on. This is wicked with 2 strands removed from the yarn. Just 2 strands through the coil. Any corrections before I fill the tank and fire...

    Attempt # 26--My quest to build one working coil

    I've tried only 2 vertical coils out of all I have built. What is an emo? Are you calling me a large flightless bird? did you mean emu? Either way it makes no sense.

    Attempt # 26--My quest to build one working coil

    The last 2 builds I have removed 2 of the 4 strands from the yarn and am still getting the burnt taste. If I look up 10 feet I can see the end of my rope. If I could reach it I would hang myself from it

    Attempt # 26--My quest to build one working coil

    Cotton balls aren't an option. I work 12-14hrs per day. it takes me 30-60 min to wick a coil. I dont have the time for a daily wick change. Most say they get several days with yarn. I can really only rewick on weekends.

    Attempt # 26--My quest to build one working coil

    Don't have it yet. I'm up to build #42 with no success. I will never confuse any part of this with being easy. On the road today until 7pm. Don't be surprised if a pack of smokes is in the cards for today.

    First time

    Stay away from Kayfuns and pro tanks whatever you do. Best to skip the rebuilding crap entirely.

    Attempt # 26--My quest to build one working coil

    Got the one from last night wicked. Got 2 decent hits and then completely burnt taste again. Have built 3 more coils all with the same result. I thought this was supposed to improve flavor. I am pretty much at the end of my rope. I'm chucking all this equipment in the trash. Obviously...

    Attempt # 26--My quest to build one working coil

    Yes. Fully saturated the wick. Waited 10mins after filling tank to try. Tank was thoroughly cleaned before my first build attempt. At this point I think the KFL, Nemesis and Kanthal can go into the trash next to my Protanks that I tossed last week. I never realized how stupid I truly am...
