Beginner Coil

[Kevinsgc]

I would like to move up and start rebuilding my coils. Was wondering what one would be good to start with?

A single microcoil using 28 gauge kanthal wicked with Japanese cotton on a kayfun lite v2 would be a good place to start

Maybe look in to one of the IGOs? I think the IGO-L is about as simple as they come (just the two posts and not a whole lot else under the cap), and could be drilled out if you want more air flow.

Going with a super simple dripper will let you play around with building different types of coils and wicking without having to worry about the issues that come along with a tank.

Or you could do a build on a Lemo, or kayfun style tank using 28g kanthal, wrap it around a 5/64 drill bit or a 2mm screwdriver. Wrap it around 9 times will give a rough 1.7-1.9 ohm build. Wick with 100% organic cotton or rayon cotton and your good to go for about 3 weeks or more.

This one! Five minutes, no waiting and threads like a dream.

Just ask any of the participants on this thread...http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/clearomizers/486794-protank-microcoil-discussion.html or this one...http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/622122-readyxwick-round-2-a.html or this one...http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/coil-builds/633436-tensioned-micro-coils-next-step.html.

And you'll be master of your domain…and know how you got there.

Good luck.

Get a rda like a plume veil, 4 post design and super easy to do dual coils later on once you get the hang of it

My first coil was a micro coil on the little blue screwdriver that comes with all rda's, my second coil was the macro coil on a 1/8th inch dill bit

Watch a lot of youtube, waste a lot of kanthal sitting around for an hour or two just wrapping and burning coils until you get them right, and you'll have it down in no time at all. Keep your wraps tight, just because you can tighten them back up when you heat them up at first doesn't mean it produces as good a coil as just wrapping them correctly in the first place (IMO).

Quick and dirty this morning Oxy. There's a reason that super_X_drifter conceived the microcoil and I came along later to perfect a method to optimize them…the community had been struggling for years with the unpredictable behavior and vape quality of open spaced winds. SupX explains it here on the OP of his above...

Traditional micro coils have kicked up the rebuilding game to new levels by providing an more efficient vape by providing concentrated heat and increased flavor due to their compact diameter resulting in less power consumption and a coil sized to tweak / position for optimal air flow and wicking.

Well things have been changing. Lots of behind the and in front scenes work by Mac to bring the Tensioned aspect to the micro coil have resulted in an even more efficient and productive coil.

For the most part, previous contact coils micro coils were just that - coils that "visually" appeared to contact. They were wrapped by hand forming wire around a stationary object resulting in a "pretty" coil but not a coil with the efficiency or simplicity to duplicate as a micro coil wound under the proper amount of tension that the winds truly touched.

Enter the tensioned micro coil.

Why are so many of us repeating history expecting a different result?

Wind the above in minutes like this…

Then you'll be able to see if the claims made about old school methods really bring the claimed performance we see on the video. You'll know for sure…as you'll be getting it doing coil sets like this…

Tap us on the shoulder on any of the above threads.

Good luck.

Don't know. What kind of vaporizer are we building for?
