1st ever coil build :)

[laloin]

I made my 1st coil build last night, no help from the B&M. Just me myself, 28 gauge wire, and cotten. 13 tighty wrapped micro coils, was sitting too close to the posts soo I had to fiddle around with it a bit. But it's running at 2 ohms, with cotton wick on my igo-l. plums of vape, tons of flavor, done with silica wick, never really did like silca.
I thought I would be sitting for hrs making my coils, I had it done, and wicked in 10 mins LOL. Was all set with my ipod, cans, and my protank full of juice to have something to vape on ha. didn't need it LOL

Do you have an ohms reader? 13 wraps can be a long heat up depending on what type of coil you build, I get pleasure from 6-8 wraps of 28ga in micro coils, now it is time to give that a shot...

I don't have a ohms reader, just the one I have on my Itaste 2. I should have it read thou. think I can dig up a used ohms reader somewhere.
I'm thinking my next build will be in the 6-8 wrap range, I'm just happy to have build my 1st coil without any help, except youtube

That is great, as long as you remain within your battery tolerances and you get a good vape you are squared away. I think the first day I built my first coil I ended up with about 20 coils by days end. You will get better and better in time and it will be a normal part of vaping.

For the best coil building RiP Trippers has it down pretty well, I do not think there is a better reviewer out there so be sure to watch his videos.

It's even cheaper directly from Temco; not to mention they have the full range of the most common gauges, and their shipping times are top notch.

This place is good. Check the dropdown for prices on 25' 50' 100'. I wouldn't buy too much of any size until you are experienced.

yeah I'm still expermenting with different gauge wire. glad there is a option to be 25 feet instead of 100 feet.

I recently bought 100' of 30ga from Lightning Vapes on Amazon for $7 I think it was..

 

[ElConquistador]

Temco has free shipping, too!!!!!

 

[PaulBHC]

I ordered 50' each 30 and 32ga and he shipped it right away, came in a few days. I intended on 25' each but the jump to 50 was so small I had to do it.

I often find that TemCo eBay with the free shipping has the lowest price for resistance wire
I just ordered some 29 AWG Kanthal from them
100 Ft for $7.60 shipped
