    Protank MicroCoil Discussion!!

    Question.... What is the perfect size drill bit to fit exactly and securely into the notch on the head? The only two sizes available to me in my drill bit set were 1/16"(too small) and 5/64"(too big). I wrapped it on a 5/64, then seated it with a 1/16, but it's cumbersome and hard not to deform...

    Protank MicroCoil Discussion!!

    Funny! I walked myself thru the hot glue method you just described in my head, but never tried it. I figured I could put some hot glue on the end of my ekowool, let it cool like half way, roll it in my fingers to make a point, (much like the end of a shoelace), and pull it thru the coil. like I...

    Yes another Pro Tank II head rebuld thread

    I should also note that a properly tensioned and built micro coil is a lot harder to deform by overstuffing than one that the wraps aren't touching, or aren't wound tightly enough on. I started out with a 3 foot purchase of 31awg Kanthal from Kidney Puncher, but that didn't last long at all, and...

    Yes another Pro Tank II head rebuld thread

    What I found was I ran the loose cotton thru my fingers like all the people in the many youtube videos did, and I made one end really tight while leaving the other end loose. I pulled the cotton thru just until it started to 'overstuff the wick, then backed it off a bit. I could tell how far to...

    Protank MicroCoil Discussion!!

    Do what I just did, and buy a few different wicking materials to try out, and see which one you like the best. I bought 2 different sized ekowoll, and some plain silica wick, and also tried cotton. I'm kind of new to this, so don't take this as gospel, but the irritated throat may be coming...

    Protank MicroCoil Discussion!!

    Well, thanks to all the info on mainly this thread and a couple others, plus many youtube videos, I've built my first few coils. I tried the microcoils, and hand wrapping around ekowool. I have to say that building a micro coil, and wicking with cotton is easier than hand wrapping a coil around...

    right sized drill bit, etc. for Kanger heads

    I've built a couple of 5/64" micro coils for my EVOD heads. They work great, but my problem is the 5/64" drill bit doesn't fit down into the notch of the kanger head. What I did was wrap my coil on a 5/64" bit, then use a 1/16" bit to place the coil in the head and secure the leads and such. The...

    EVOD 2 Glass - filling question

    It just dawned on me that maybe the reason the New evod's fluid level isn't all the way up the window when flipped over is because of the removable drip tip. On the original evod, juice fills part of the area that is the permanent drip tip. On a removable, some of that top space is probably...

    Yes another Pro Tank II head rebuld thread

    I just actually made my first couple of coils for my evod tanks the last couple of days. (Evod's use the same coil head) Believe it or not, it's IMO easier to make a micro coil, then to wrap around a wick. I tried both. My 'mirco coils' looked pretty neat, and in fact I just re-wicked the first...

    EVOD 2 Glass - filling question

    Not sure with the new evod2, and evod glass (what's the difference, btw?), but with my 1st gen single coil evod's when I fill until the liquid is just below the top of the air tube (upsidedown), once assembled, and turned right side up, the liquid is at the top of the window. Can you link me...

    The right way to vape

    I've only been vaping for about 6 weeks, but what I do is draw a long hit into my mouth (the straw analogy above was accurate). Then I inhale it into my lungs and back out my mouth. I never liked blowing cig smoke or now vape out my nose. That's just me, ymmv. There's a big "if it works, don't...

    Question about Ekowool. (think I made a mistake)

    I am going to buy some organic cotton balls while waiting for this stuff to come in, just in case the ekowool gives me problems. I want to try both out to see what I like better.

    Question about Ekowool. (think I made a mistake)

    Thanks! I'll keep all this in mind. Of course, I ain't going to know nothing until all the stuff comes in the mail.

    Question about Ekowool. (think I made a mistake)

    When you double and thread the ekowool, do you leave it doubled, or un-double it once threaded thru? Thanks for the replies.

    cotton... like finally......success!

    I'm wondering how long cotton lasts in a clearo. Does it have to be changed often enough to where the convenience of silica would trump the flavor benefits some say cotton provides?

    Question about Ekowool. (think I made a mistake)

    To get started recoiling kanger heads, I ordered some 31awg kanthal, 2mm and 3mm hollow ekowool, 1mm silica, and an ohm tester box. My question is, is the rated size of ekowool the outer diameter, or the inner diameter of the hollow rope. This stuff hasn't arrived in the mail yet, and I've been...

    I don't think the EGo is a good beginner setup.

    There are actually good cig-a-likes out there. The mistic kit, which people can buy at wallmart are probably the longest lasting cig-a-like battery, IMO. I started on these, and would get thru a whole day with one battery, then plug it in at bed-time. The problem, is their pre-filled cartos...

    Getting ready to buy first kit, how much liquid will keep me off analogs?

    For a second there, you scared me, OP. before I finished the one paragraph, I thought you said you spent the B&M's price for the starter kit. That would have been a travesty! Especially on your tight budget. Your first order looks ok. Even though I smoked Full Flavor Reds for over 30 years, I...

    Looks very nice. Changing the leg length isn't auto-updating the numbers, it seems, even though the little refresh symbol comes up for a second. Thanks for doing this so quick!
