    Just got a IGO-W, first Micro-coil, and loving it! One issue and need help

    32 might be tough due to the leads easily breaking... you could try the top screws maybe. And I would only go for 7 wraps or so. Hopefully you have a means to check your resistance before you go use it.... or have a regulated device.

    Post pictures of your working wick and coil setup

    Just posted this in another thread so sorry if this is cross posting :) Go easy on me as this is only my second WORKING micro-coil (2 others ended up in the trash after breaking leads). Here you go fellas..... coil number two (and I used the holes and didn't break a lead). 28 ga Kanthal, 10...

    Just got a IGO-W, first Micro-coil, and loving it! One issue and need help

    Here you go fellas..... coil number two (and I used the holes and didn't break a lead). 28 ga Kanthal, 10 wraps, 1.6 ohms, running at 4v on my provari. Top look Side Look (I know the coils on the right got messed up when I was adjusting my coil...doh!) And the vapor...ohhh delicious vapor...

    Just got a IGO-W, first Micro-coil, and loving it! One issue and need help

    Thats pretty much what I did on my third coil... it just seemed like I would check the coil and it was good and captured. I would fiddle a little (dry burn it, crimp the coils together to get them closer) and one of the leads would be loose. So after I was happy with the coil I get the screw a...

    Just got a IGO-W, first Micro-coil, and loving it! One issue and need help

    Thanks bud! Didnt even cross my mind that the W is made for DUAL coils. So I think I will try both methods (top screw and doubling up the wire) and see what works best. And couldnt agree more.... I just couldnt believe the performance I got from a $17.95 dripping atty with a micro coil. In...

    Just got a IGO-W, first Micro-coil, and loving it! One issue and need help

    Hey all, After almost giving up on RBAs (had the AGA-T and could never get a good consistent vape from it) I went to my local vape store (brand new to Lexington KY...ALTSMOKE..they are GREAT!!!) and they convinced me to get a IGO-W. Frank at the store was very kind and sat with me to make my...

    Should I have used a thicker wire? (28 ga Kanthal) - getting too low Ohms

    I got it to work for a bit....6 wraps did it. 1.5 ohms. But my top coil was getting hot spots due to it being to far away from the wick. Oh well back to the drawing board. Only my 2nd coil and got it to work fairly well.... each time Im learning a bit more :)

    Should I have used a thicker wire? (28 ga Kanthal) - getting too low Ohms

    Oh my old manual mod is using a AW IMR 18650... but they have so many cycles they dont hold a charge for long. In my Provari Im using 18490's...but have some new 18650s on the way for the Provari.

    Should I have used a thicker wire? (28 ga Kanthal) - getting too low Ohms

    I think I will try a 5/4 wrap with the 28ga and see. At the same time I will also be ordering some 30 ga wire. I own a reo and didnt even think to try it on that... I would have to get an adapter tho as the AGA-T wont thread on to the reo.

    Should I have used a thicker wire? (28 ga Kanthal) - getting too low Ohms

    Thanks guys.... Im not sure I can get more than 4 wraps on this bad boy. The coils are pretty tight as is....but I will try to get 5-4 wrap going. Oh when when I said bigger...I meant bigger wire ga (thiner wire)...more resistance...just so I dont look like a total n00b :) It did make be...

    Should I have used a thicker wire? (28 ga Kanthal) - getting too low Ohms

    I built my first coil...and with some fiddling on an old mech mod I got all coils glowing nice and even. Now my problem... My coil is reading .9 - 1.0 Ohms on my Provari... unfortunately my Provari sees this as a short. I used 28 ga. Kanthal with a 4-3 wrap. My guess is I need to go up to a...

    My first Provari Ordered!

    Got my Provari 2 days ago and WOW!!! I love my BuzzPro...but I swear the Provari gives a better/more consistant vape. It could be my imagination. I will also say DAMN this sucker is heavy. But man is it a quality device. Lovin it!

    Newbie to RBAs- recommendations?

    Im fine with a looser draw (used to smoke a pipe)... its FLAVOR Im after!! And a close second to flavor is Vapor production. My ViVi nova gives me more than enough throat hit (I vape 18 - 24mg Nic). I think I will just hold off on the ZAP and play around with the AGA-T+ or T2.... $30 isnt a...

    My first Provari Ordered!

    Looks really nice! But I have gone away from cartos... they seem to last me about 10 ml or so then get nasty. I mainly use ViVi-Nova now and even with that most juices get burnt after 3 tanks (although D&D Vapor seems to not do this).
