Ok so I haven't watched every tutorial out there from oxidizing mesh to wrapping coils. I FINALLY get my did clone in my vapemail last night. Super stoked I couldn't wait for my provari to cone in from provape so I figured meh I shall build and give it a go on my twist. Not having any way to measure resistance I was very careful.. I wrapped a 3-2 and a 6-5 .. at first I had mad hot spots then as soon as I get all the coils to glow it would stop working all together.. I fiddle some more with the coils they start burning but no glow at all. Keep in mind that I am twisting from 3.2 to about 4.2 volts trying to get this coil to burn and or glow BRIGHT. Not hapening . :( help!!

do you have a multimeter? if not, wait until your provari comes in. being able to test resistance will help greatly for rebuilding.

If you don't have a multimeter or a device with short circuit protection don't mess with ss mesh because you will have shorts. I use a twist myself, but i have an ego passthrough (no battery- direct power source) that has amazing short circuit protection. Even if the multimeter doesn't pick up a short that thing does. We are wrapping the main electrical component around a stainless steel conductor, there will be some trial and error.

is this the ego passthru you speak of?
Variable Voltage EgO/510 USB Passthrough

i have that one and was unaware of the short protection. im glad to hear about it if this is indeed the one you mention.

There's been much debate about the use of RBA's on true passthroughs that are running from a USB port on PC's. I wonder if this thread will turn into another argument over that...let's hope not ;)

I think that if I had a true passthrough, I wouldn't want to test out it's short-circuit protection, nor would I trust it... heh.

V Ninja, I made this thread as a place to help one another with the chinese did clone. Your posts seem quite rude and snobby, so if you can't voice your opinion without doing so you're more than welcome to start a separate thread.

Wow.

Y'all are seriously impressive with these mods.

Just think what you could do with a jet :D

I think I am going to try to make a simple cotton wick work; without drilling anything out, first.

Then we'll see.

The mesh just seem like a pain in the ....

But that's probably just my naivete at this juncture in the learning curve.

I bought all this stuff!!!! Online
Can I use this wire to make coils for these things or do I need to try some other wire to try making coils????

I haven't gotten these things yet and will not try to make any coils until I have a meter to check ohms and to make sure I don't have any shortages. I don't want to kill my trusty Telescope from Mad vapes.

400 Stainless Steel Mesh 5 sheets, AGA Genesis Rebuildable Atomizer, Phoenix Rebuildable Atomizer, Phoenix Rebuildable Atomizer 5 Wicks, Vision Eternity, Spooled Nicochrome .20mm Wire, Spooled Nicochrome .16mm Wire, AGA-T2 Genesis Rebuildable Atomizer,

I really want to try to make something rebuilable, these clearomizer taste like plastic or maybe rubber.

If anybody would be so nice as to reply to my questions I will be truly thankful!!!!!

I have been looking around on the forum and I have a tendency to get confused by all this technical stuff but I am not scared to at least try to build my self something better.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.

Yes, you'll definitely need a meter. I would suggest getting some 32 ga a1 kanthal as well, especially starting out. Check e-bay and SteamMonkey for sources. But by all means do experiment with the Nichrome. Some folks like it.

I would also suggest starting with the Phoenix, using cotton. (COTTON!!!! heresy, heresy, lol) At least you'll have something to vape on while you tackle your ss builds. Be sure and let your cotton wick soak a couple of hours before vaping if you do decide to try it. Good luck, and happy vaping.

Greetings and Salutations

Forgove me if i sound ignorant here, but i was not going to sift through the fourteen plus pages to find this out, but what is the best mod for the DiD clone? Until recently i have been rocking it on a 1000/mAh ego-t with ego booster (which as of yesterday i had a Lavatube V1 delivered) which is more then fine for me.

I am asking which one works best as i am planning on getting a second DiD and looking at either getting the smoktech telescopic, the gg clone or a vamo for the secondary DiD, but out of the three choices wanted one that would rock it fairly well :D
