Anna if i may call you that i went and bought a Zenith D22 comes with 1 plexus coilhead and 1 -1.6ohm kanthal coilhead plus ordered a single - .05 coilhead total shipped first class 30.99..

Will vape and eventually open 1 of the coil heads that are not liked to see if i can rebuild one with a horizontal kanthal coil.
From pictures the coilheads are press fitted together maybe in 2 places at least 1 for sure which makes sense to assemble the coil into it at the factory .
Its an itch that needs to be scratched weather it works or not like in past when boards and meters where purchased online to assemble a simple vv mod run on dual 14500s which work fine but are tucked away.

I prefer Anna to stols actually, but do report your findings I mean if they are rebuildable it could be awesome.

I don't have the "itch' that much (except with the CLR coil but it's easy) but I still save my spent coil heads.

I'm under no illusions about the fact that someday I may rebuild them (I might make the husband do it, potentially) I'm just a hoarder. Oh well, at least coil heads are comparatively small. Heh.

The only CLR tank I tried that didn’t perform to my satisfaction is the Wismec Amor. Never got good flavor out of it - but that could just be me.

I tried the Armor tank too. I though ti was okay at the time but it was my first CLR tank. Looking back, it kind of sucked until it died an the capacity... /Not so good.

Well, now I know what I have 2 of. Vapesourcing listed a solid green and a solid blue Wismec rx75 but as a kit with the Amor. So, I had to order 1 of each. The green was exactly as pictured but the blue was just the standard black with stripes of blue -so now I have back-ups for my back-ups. But the Amors are kind of 'now what?' items. At least now I know that they use the CLR coils so if I ever need itty bitty tanks I have 2. I'm mostly using original Uwell Crowns. I also have aToptank Nano that is too small to use in TC.

Say I don't know if this is the best place to ask. But I got a Joyetech eGrip VT about 2 years ago. I never got a good vape out of it. But I only tried one coil. So it sat until recently.

And I recently found some really cheap CL coils on eBay. I thought they were selling clone coils, but they appear to be really Joyetech coils. Anyway the first box of 5, two Ti coils are too low to fire. One had a dead short. One sort of worked for a few minutes and then had burnt hits, etc. Is this common?

I don't know, even whenever I could get it to somewhat work, flavor was horrible and vapor was really weak. Has anybody had any luck with these things? Yes, first time trying to get TC to work on these things. I think I could stop the coils from burnt hits if I could drop that 30 watts in Ti TC. But it appears I can't do this.

I had plans on using CLR coils with it if I could get a decent vape out of it. But the way things are going, all pod devices out today will give you a much better vape than this thing can. :(

I think it’s pretty much accepted - at least in this thread - that the CL coils are prone to dry hits. At the time they were introduced, most reviewers thought so too, and several opined that the eliquid holes on the sides of the CL coils were too small to allow for adequate and consistent saturation of the wicking material.

I have no experience with that mod, though.

I have never, even once, gotten a dry hit from that coil, actually. I was not even aware it was a thing. I bet I run them lower wattage than a lot of folks do, though
What? o_O Seriously? It could be just these eGrip VT things. But it is really rough to get any vapor and flavor out of the thing. Then of course trying to get it better that dreaded dry hit happens. :(

Anna MAY be referring to the CLRs, which are considerably different (and considerably better) than the CLs. The CLs are terrible, and I threw a truckload into the trash.

The CLRs however, and for me at least, are maybe the best blister-pack coils to ever hit our market.

I don't know if you can TC with them. That's outside of my interest and experience.

I do not agree regarding the Ni and Ti CL coils.
I started to use them with my Tron tanks as two of each are given with each new tank.
They have to be primed correctly. I just fill the tank and wait at least 20 minutes before vaping.
I use these at 25w and between 210-240 degrees depending the vape i look for.
I had of course no dry hits, the Pico and Vtc mini i use TC mode works great.
So 30w should not be a problem with your Egrip.
Ni coils can be found at ridiculously low prices now , less than 1$ for a five-box on some Chinese sellers.
They wick perfectly , have good taste and last long.
Do you lock correctly the coil at room temperature before vaping ?
And i also build my CLR coils with TI wire, 6 wraps with 2,5 mm coil for around 0,4 ohms, with Fiber Freaks D2 cotton, and the result is awesome !

Yes my bad, I see ego one tank series and I think CLR automatically.

I did accidentally order a bunch of the CL coils (sadly) and I am NEVER going to use them. Once I know I can afford shipping, I should like put them on the PIF thread only I would also feel guilty about doing that.

I wish I had know that you liked them. I tried to find someone (legally and within the boundaries of the rules though).

There are other ways... ;)

Keep them for parts. Grommets and pins. :)

Interesting. Whatever works! <shrug>

I usually vape SS316L in TC mode at 380-420°F - most often at 420°F. Just as a test, I took my temperature down to 240°F on my Lavabox M DNA75/Odyssey CLL/CLR setup and took a long, slow lung hit. I got only a very bare wisp of vapor. Hardly visible at all.

But like I said, “Whatever works!”. :)

Now this discussion has done got me thinking I need to get an eGrip VT. I started with the original eGrip and with the tiny rba head it was great. At the time I thought Joyetech ruined the eGrip by putting a screen on it.
Since going mtl I've retired all my CLR tanks cuz I just can't get the airflow tight enuf for me. I know the eGrip is capable of shutting the airflow down to nothing. The VT 'should' accept my CLRs? Might be the perfect pod system for me? Fully adjustable power, TC and airflow.
Right now the only thing I'm really happy with are my 2 authentic Aspire ET tanks but they can't be found anymore. The eBay clones are too airy and I believe the ones MVS is selling are the same clones. Waiting for a pod system I won before I start trying others. But the eGrip has made it to the top of my list to try.

Edit: a little research showed that the VT won't accept the CLR. Must be the CL-OLED version that does. I guess.

Jumpin'in , sorry, my settings are in Celsius degrees ! I'm French and we don't use Fahrenheit.
My apologies, I should have been more precise.

I don't know how y'all deal with that 0-100 stuff. I mean, c'mon, 32-220 is SO MUCH simpler!

Don'chya think? ;) :blink:
