Did I do it correctly? w [PHOTOS]

[LOWLY]

Hello, so I tryed building my own coil with smok smoke beast rba, I did it without a tutorial, Ive just seen how finished product looks like, and Ive attached the cotton, please tell me if this does not explain in my head? I attached photos.

Looks good to me. What does it read at?

Where you tucked the cotton ends at, personally, I'd either trim the ends a bit further or pry the cotton up to give a channel for the juice to sit inside those small cavities to be wicked up without choking the cotton or the juice flow into the channels, this will improve the wicking performance, if it gurgles or floods, then you could tuck the wick ends back down fully.

Besides that, look professionally done, nice job on your first rebuild anyway, it gets easier with practice

Most important question, how does it vape?

I {moderated} it up... >.> I am so mad at myself for it SO MAD, I did read that u need to heat up the coils first so it would burn equaly, and I was like, allright, Ima put it in, and do it, I forgot that I allready done the cotton, and then guess what 1s did it and realised, there is cotton on it, and it already burnt up, so I had to replace it, couldnt take it out it was stuck, then acidently messed up one spring, and now its whole messed up, Im still hating on it. >.> ughhhhhhhhhhhh thanks everyone for replays tho.

We have all made mistakes, I cant walk on water either. No worries, you learned now you'll get it right.[emoji106]

Ik right.. By the way is there any safety things with custom build coils? I mean can coil couse explosion to ur face or its only if ur building a mod?

 

[IMFire3605]

On a regulated mod (has electronic settings) you can potentially run into problems if there is a short and the control board doesn't catch it, or you are over draining your batteries way to much (way to high a wattage for the batteries), on a mechanical it is completely different as the throttle on a mech is the coil of your tank/rda, lower the resistance the higher the amps, to high an amp pull can cause the battery to vent, then if the mod can't vent that pressure the mod can potential go kaboom. Either type of device don't build to low an Ohm coil, mech lowest about 0.25ohm, regulated what ever the lowest Ohm the board is programmed for you can't go below that.

pretty enough...but it looks almost like those coils are wide enough to short out on the chamber....

maybe not....I only looked at the first pic when I typed that

Yeah, when building coils you really must remember to fire them before wicking. For a few reasons...locating and fixing hot or cold spots, oxidizing the metal and checking the resistance.

Oxidizing? That's not right, somebody knows what I'm trying to say...

 

[Bunnykiller]

after looking at the pictures I was going to ask if you dry burned the coils... but I kept reading and found out you didnt...but did after the cotton was in...

when doing coils, insert new coil, check ohms, dry burn to oxidize and check for hot spots, adjust if needed, dry burn again to check for function, check ohms again... if okay, add wick and soak it with juice

and let the coils cool before touching them after a dry burn.... they can hold heat for quite some time.

yes oxidizing... it heats the metal to a point to allow oxygen to bond to the surface of the metal and create somewhat of in insulating ( electrically) layer. This is what keeps the wraps from shorting out in a tight wound coil

 

[Skold]

It's a better attempt than my first RBA, my nebox one was terrible. Got a burnt taste straight away, I think you've done well but I snip the ends or tail them.

Some of us have learned that the hard way....... Several times.

Especially all the little ridges a Clapton leaves on your skin. Good times.

I forgot that I allready done the cotton

Before you tuck the cotton in. Too much cotton in the tails and you'll choke the juice flow especially with thirsty claptons you have since the cotton expands. Take a sharp tweezers. pin or anything sharp, hold down 1 side of the build and brush through the tail to remove some of the bulk tail away without removing from inside the coil. Not very much but prolly a third of the tail...YMMV. This also aligns the fibers straight to enhance juice flow. Nice build you have there, now think....it'll only get better.
