Coils

[liane18s]

vaporbeast has triton mini coils (compatible with nautilus
mini) for around $7pk of 5. Free shipping on $35 orders. 10% off with yeahbaby. Hope that helps

There is a wet burn "dry burn" type method. Keep it wet with PG or water and use higher volts/watts to give the cotton and coil kind of a steam bath. Never tried it myself but they say you can get a few more days out of them. Always dry them afterwards normally.

reading all this reminds me why I only use RBA's RTA's, pre made coils are a PIA, learn to build man, you'll save a fortune.

Premade coils cost about $2-$3 each and last about 2/3 weeks. I don't consider that a fortune!

I've bought Kangertech coils that have lasted 2 days, I've gone through a pack of 5 in a week in the past due to shocking quality control, Smok are now not faring much better and are more expensive, I've had a homemade set up last months and cost a few pence, over a year that's quite a saving.
Maybe my idea of a fortune and your idea of a fortune are different things eh....

My handmade coils last 2 months minimum. Cost 3 cents..

So far i've had good luck with the coils, I hope it keeps up. have a good day!

Can't beat 3 cents, but i'm getting old, hand and eye coordination aren't what they used to be, so i sort of have no choice. Your point is well taken.

 

[Gramdogg]

Yeah most all coils are able to be rebuilt too. RBA/RTA premade should be claptons/alien/etc and last a couple months. If its just kanthal you should get 5 premade for $2-$3, I get a 12+ per meter at .89c a meter... after adding cotton maybe 10c. Hope to get a RTA with velocity deck soon, not that building coils is hard just more annoying then easy velocity. Find coils easier to rebuild then most other decks personally. First few times you'll be checking your display alot for "atty short protection" but after a month or so without blowing up you'll start to gain confidence in yor builds. I've only ever had 2 come out atty short protection and was able to fix 2nd one, 1st one was dumb "wiggle/twist" off method now I always clip my leads.

See the new TFV8 coils are $23 for a 3 pack here after tax.... crazy

Check videos of Griffin RTA I think thats what I'm getting next. Big holes to work with, looks super easy.

Same in pounds over here too, and they have terrible quality control, I had one last 2 days, one lasted 2 weeks....stuck with the rta

I inherited a condo (mom) & used to make coils for the older folks. I would accept no pay, but they made me cookies.
I do hope you may find vape pal to help you out..

 

[daviedog]

Never had a naughty, but the T3s, protanks, recoiled for Blood. Then i discovered the kfun. Left it all behind.
Think if the States decide to tax coils by usage,, 10 days= 10 packs of smokes= $30 tax.
OMG what a gruesome thought..

 

[Gramdogg]

Yeah I have a T3S and a few EVOD's and PT's too. Same idea, the hardest part is getting the rubber gasket back in without stabbing your finger with wire. Still easier then trying to hold two coils at once and screwing the screws down on them without one slipping out and needing to start all over again lol. Fair trade off lol. I should have said duel coil decks, singles ain't to bad (Monster kfun, kfun lite plus, sub/top tank rba etc)

Mine/yours must be old or you/I have clones mine I'd say 1.6Ohm 3-4.2v 1.8Ohm 3-5v. No mention of watts on them but 7w would be well above 3v. I have never hit the high end of a recommended watt/volt before myself... usually low/middle is my sweet spot. 3.4v or 6-6.5w on 1.8ohm for me, above 4v and it gets nasty to me.

Your math is a little off 3v with 1.8 is 5 watts I believe

 

[medleypat]

yikes its 6.66w sorry I ment to say the 10w other guy uses as thats who I was repling to not OP. It is nautilus coils... not hard to rebuild and people use there coils for months with PGA cleanings. Put it in a closed bottle and shake it every few hours. The gunk will break down, shake, repeat... they come out looking like a brand new coil. Water once a week, PGA once a month and they should last for months. You don't dry burn cotton so you have to blow excess out by plugging one end.

I agree on that point soak mine in vodka for 24 hours then water for 24 hours air dry and have not had to replace one coil in 8 months

 

[medleypat]

Some people have physical limits so can't rebuild and it seems some people on here that is all they want to push plus IMO trying to push rebuilding to a new caper isn't the best thing they're trying to figure enough out why add more. Just answer they're questions and stop pushing your personal preference on them

 

[Gramdogg]

Yup, math ain't off. 3v is 5w. Agree with Just anwer questions and stop pushing personal preferences like 16.5w on them. OP ain't been around so someone changed topic to rebuilding based on people thinking I was talking about an RTA or something and not a Nautilus I think. lol.

I started vaping with a Kanger unit, I just bought a smaller Eleaf pico and found the flavor is much better from the E leaf Melo 2 tank so I've bought another Melo tank for the Kanger. I've been working with a Vaporesso Gemini RBA and have gotten some pretty good nickel coils, the problem is when filling the tank putting the top back on causes it to leak, got to try turning it upside down while screwing the cap.
