Got an eGo-V coming, not that I need it but thought it would be fun to play with.

A BIG Thank you to all us on ECF that buy from Wizard. I actually got my order today from them. I called and thanked them for rushing it out. Told them they have ALOT of good folks on here that buy from them. Johns wife says THANK YOU.

And they are going to have some more great news coming in the near future thats going to be AWSOME.

I just thought I would mention that I picked up a vivi nova at the vape meet in Chattanooga and I just rewicked it with hemp twine... It's awesome, if you want to give your clearo new life bounce on over to the atomizer mods sub of the modding forum and look at the hemp thread and the vivi nova oval coil hemp thread for more details :).

well, I am still using the vivi nova with hemp twine, and it's still great. I picked up a vivi nova head from mesh mods. It is a 1.8mm preoxidized 400 mesh wick with 28 awg kanthal modded to a vivi nova head. I can't wait to try it out, I get frustrated when working with mesh and I don't have time to mess with it anymore, so this seemed like a no brainer. it was like 7 bucks.

Well, I got some vape mail last week. An AGI tank/dripper and 2'X2' of SS 400 mesh, my first at doing SS mesh. and well, I learned I cant build a SS coil. Going to give it another try this weekend. But I am still using my Carto Tanks and Clearo Tanks. Next vape meet I can go to I hope some one can help me if I don't get it by then.

Luke, it is something that will take a few times to get it down pat. but once you do it's not that bad, lol. The Coil is the main thing about RBA's. fiddlimng with the coil will be the test, lol. Don't be affraid to take the coil off and redo it. Once you get one working, DON'T TOUCH IT, lol Just vape the h*** out of it,

Watch the you tube on Coils by Peter k. He uses a Machine screw 3/32 size to make his and it's ALOT easier to do.

I have seen the Peter K method, and I will have to try that on my next attempt. But my attempt today proved successful, I wound the coil very tightly this time. I am vapping on it with much better results. No more terrible taste. The only thing I have a problem with is that there isn't as much flavor as my bottom coil clearos. Maybe I needed to use 500 mesh. or smaller gauge wire (using 32 gauge kanthal A-1). It's a 1.6 ohm coil with the wick having a very small pin ole in the center.

If your using a 50/50 mix, then might be worth it to get 500. Thats what I use now. Also might want to switch to 28ga wire. Are you using a regulated device? If so then try to get yours around 1.3-1.4ohms. How many wraps at 32ga? Also is your Wick TIGHTLY Wraped? Wrapping loose wick will deaden the tase some also.

I did wrap it tight this time, its a 4/5 wrap. I should have made it 3/4 wrap to get it to a 1.4 ohm coil, its 1.5 ohms right now. The taste is getting a little better, but I only have 2 ml's through it (I use my eGo at work unless I am at my desk), maybe like vpsi said I just need to break it in by putting a couple tanks through it. I am using it on a VAMO at 8.5 watts or 3.5/3.6 volts.

I thought you knew about the breakin period. V is right. It takes a tank or 2 to get RIGHT, lol

Well, I watched a lot of videos and learned what to do, but I guess I didn't do enough research for what to expect after you get a good coil built. Thank You so much for your help Fox! and you too vpsi. I think my first 3 attempts at wrapping the coils, it was too loose like you said. But this one not only looks good as far as the wrap spacing but doesn't have any hot spots. I just thought it would let flavor through right after it was setup correctly. Learning a little every day. One of these vape meets we will meet up again or at a new vape store.

I have like 100ml of samples on their way...I'm REALLY freaking excited about it...ordered on last Wednesday shipped Thursday and I'm HOPING they'll be here Monday or Tuesday.

My Smokeless Image stuff on its way:
(Ordered Wednesday, shipped out Thursday)
A five pack of stainless steel XL cartomizers.
A five pack of CE3 bottom coil cartomizers.
A 1300mAh X2 pass through, silver battery!
Two silver cones for the X2, one regular cone and one small cone.
The Volt XL carrying case!
Two clear diamond battery end caps for the two 78mm batteries I already own!
One black lanyard.
An extra 78mm USB charger!
And five packs of their different colored mouth caps. They were 25 for $2!

The reason I ordered so much was I wait till I need a bundle of stuff so I can get free shipping from SI! Plus I always use their 15% discount...and enjoy earning points!

Ten 10ml, or 100ml worth of samples from LKA Vapes - $34
Volt order - $73.58

But it will all be worth it! I love SI and their volt products are by far the best I've seen, especially when it comes to price.

Well, I have ordered more stuff I don't need but do want.
A nitecore i4 charger, 2 more 18650 batts, 5 evods clearomizers with 10 extra coils (will be giving some away for fiends to try out). 3 more eGo batts (650, 900 & 1100) & 5 kanger pro tank heads.

Even with two VAMO's and RBA's I still love my eGo's with Evods.

Next up,
A Fluid Flask (Carto Tank)
AGA-T2+
& Some more 18350 batteries
