Here is a pic of coil, does it look wonky???
You don't want the legs to glow,just the coil itself.If the legs glow,that is called a hot leg,and usually means there is a short somewhere,or a loose connection.
Oh I had it backwards! Good so coil should be ok to try then, next wicking LOL

House of Hybrids make the original Kabuki, one of the few toppers that are designed for the P3 threading Provape uses on all current models.
Yep,that coil master should tell you if there is a short,so as long as it shows resistance,the coil glows,and the legs don't,then yes,you can move on to the task of getting the perfect wick haha.
LOL Now to juice it and burn it and see how that goes 
I had an (ego style) Johnson Creek Vea do that back when I first started vaping. Same situation as you, aluminum 510 receiver.
Was able to salvage it with a 510 to 510 connector, just like you've done.
Took it one step further though, my DH used just a little bit of JB Weld to secure the 510 connector since the receiver on the mod was so loose. It worked GREAT!!
It's up to you if you want to try it, I'd feel bad if it didn't for you and jacked up your mod, so think about it before you try it, but it did work great for me.
We tried it because as it was, mine was shot, and I had nothing to lose, even the 510 connector didn't stay in place.
So, if you get to that point...it might be worth a shot.
Worst case, you lose the 510 connector.
Looks good from what i can tell.I should of clarified though,the only time you want the coil to glow is when dry firing it with no wick in it,once wicked and juiced,it shouldn't glow,if it does,then you will probably need to replace the wick,as it will burn out at the center.Good choice going with rayon,if you've never tried it before,you will be surprised how much better your juices taste.View attachment 594973 Here is my rayon, figured I may as well test that too
I'm thinking I should get one of those savers so if one of my tanks' threads strip I can still use it? Would it work for that? Since I use exclusively provaris I doubt their threads are likely to strip but I wonder about the tanks after heavy use. And I'd rather buy those savers now in case they become hard to find after the dark ages hit us.
Do you have a link please? A google search only brought up adapters.
<-- Currently "toodle puffing" a 0.27ohm NiFe build @ 16W in TC mode. (built on a TTM clone)
"Sub Ohm" does not always equate to "high power".

I checked the website out and saw this, the sekushi. OMG it's gorgeous. I dont even want to know how much it costs because I'm sure I cant afford it but what a beauty!
Ok good that is what I got, no glow when wicked and juiced
I actually built this and and am vaping it! My first try at building anything Yippee! I must say I like rayon, I may have tried to use too much wick, flavor is a bit muted, but maybe that gets better as the coil breaks in?? But I can say this VVTF V2 is rebuild-able and even a novice like me did it LOL ! It is small so a magnifier and light is a must in my opinion.edit: I watched people rebuilding the actual nautilus coils and this seems way easier IMO. I got two for $15 total on ebay. Using it in the Nautilus tank.

Guess I'm going to have to get some myself after all.
Oh they said the nautilus deck is too deep to build on and to use a Kabuki deck and that is what I used then put it in the Nautilus. It fits way down deep in the Nautilus deck, different than an actual coil that is prebuilt.Glad you reported back.
The ear plug worked wonderfully!
The shot glass is rimmed with Mercury glass, sorry it's so dark on the pics.
@ScandaLeX - Sorry, no video.
But I took pics just for you.
Here is the video on it that I followed, the vertical build looks easier than the horizontal to me. But I had to try the hard one first LOL VVTF V2
Tank Airflow Controller
It's actually called an airflow controller. Don't know if anyone really uses them for that. MVS is out of stock. Lots of places have them though.
Don't know if it would work if the bad thread was on the tank. You would have to keep it locked on the bottom of the tank, maybe with some threadlock. And that wouldn't work if the tank filled from the bottom like a Kayfun.

510 Atomizer Connector, Assembled | Madvapes
That's just one link I found.
Connector or adapter, I believe (and see) both terms are used.
There are several styles out there, you can just pick what will suit your needs best.
I personally like the ones that are "closed", those do not have a tiny hole in them...some do.
The ones that have the tiny hole are called open 510 connectors.
Although I don't know if all vendors get the technical anymore.
Heat sinks work too, and look great on the ProVari Mini.
Hope this helps.
ETA: Sorry, Nevermind, you said *tank* threads. My bad.

Good to hear,i remember back early on in this thread how you were dreading the day that you would have to do this haha.A lot of people think coil building is hard,but as you have found out,it really isn't,or at least in most cases haha,i have had a few tanks that were a major pita to build on,but most are pretty easy,and it looks like you nailed it on the first try,so it just gets easier from there.Ok good that is what I got, no glow when wicked and juiced

As for the muted flavor,yes it could be that the coil and wick needs a little break in time,it could also be that the wick is either just a bit tight or even just a bit loose.That's the beauty of being able to rewick though,is after a while if it still tastes muted,you can pull the wick and try again.With rayon,it is hard to get too much in there,you want it fairly tight in the coil,you should be able to slide it side to side but it should still feel tight.A tip that Jeremyr posted a long time ago,is when you pull it side to side,you should feel and sometimes even hear a squeek.I don't hear it,but i can definitely feel it,that's how i know my wick is just right.
