-5 for us Weds night.

Our wind chill is -6,
I will wait until the temperature goes up to at least a "feels like zero". That should be nice and toasty. NOT.

Awoke this morning to 7°

GOOD GAWD!!!!!!!!!!

And I'm wearing a jacket and a scarf tonite. I should be soooooooooo ashamed.

That CLR just looked so easy to dry burn & re-wick...

Well, that dry burn didn't go. Gently pulled out the wick, coil didn't seem to move at all, but obviously it was enough to knock one of the wires out of position in the pin, so my dry burn was a non-event (got 'no atomizer' error on my VTC Mini). Will have to strip it down and re-coil... Damn!

Any trick to getting the wick out without the slightest move in the wire? Hold the wire with tweezers?

 

[oplholik]

I don't dry burn anymore. I have another coil and head already to go. When I need to rewick, I just swap out the head, and rebuild the old one when convenient. I only have to do it about once a month.

so the wife comes to me last night with a frowny face and sez:
" Oh, I broke one of my vape-machines today "

hmmm, Great , wonder what now...

then she showed me this ​

now how in the world did ya.......
that musta took some EXTREME force

snapped it right off at the base

it was sitting nice & flush on a sigelei mini book 40w with a lanyard

Merry Christmas

be sure the coil wire AND wick is plenty wet ! !
ESPECIALLY if it is the FIRST factory wrap

tweezers- gently grab an end and TWIST, screw the wick out (thread it like a screw)
might have to 'tease-it' some to begin -- then go to the other side of wick and do the same

make sure ya keep it wet and you'll probably get your hands messy

factory wicks have been the hardest for me, once you make your own (rewick or rebuild) it should become easier

good luck

@DebbieNY - I agree with @pufZeppelin, above. The factory wick can be tricky to get out without messing up the coil.
THAT SAID, I have had a few times where I just needed to re-screw everything one more time, while watching the reading on the mod, to see if the "no atomizer" reading is correct. Try taking off the tank, and just screw the base and coil into your mod - test fire with just a quick push, and see if you are still getting a no atomizer reading.
Works for me ....sometimes. I've only had ONE coil that truly is dead. The others just had a sweet spot, and by cranking down too tightly, I think I was pinching the wire or ??

Well I'm back! I finally got out one of my new ego tanks and put in a CLR coil! I put in a .5 coil and I am coughing my head off! Maybe the .5 coil is way to airy! Should I try one of my 1.0 coils instead?
This .5 coil is too much for this Tootle Puffer!

 

[gandymarsh]

You probably should. The .5 is about 3x more airy. So far I've only used the 1 ohm coils but I have one tank (Innokin isub) that I've never used because I can tell, by just drawing on it, that it's way too airy for me.

0.5ohm/1.0ohm ONE CLR head

 

[57chilicat]

Thanks! Does anyone here use the .5 on a regular basis?

 

[FranC]

I only use the 1.0.

try taking one of the " BOTTOM PINS " (red/yellow arrow) out of a 1.0Ω coil & put it in the .5Ω coil
now the .5Ω will burn hot enuff but have MUCH LESS air flow...

take note of the POSITIVE wire (leg) (blue arrow) so NOT TO DISTURB during pin swap

I build all of mine: from .4Ω - .9Ω

 

[57chilicat]

I just put in a 1.0 coil and a different juice! Much much better! I guess the coil and a new juice I'm not crazy about where a bad combo!
I'll try swapping the bottom pin at a later date and this new juice just might have to find a new home!
But I am happily vaping on the 1.0 coil with a favorite juice!

Is it just press fitted in there from the inside?

 

[Foggy Road]

My first Ego Ones were Piffed to me. Came with several TC coils (probably will never use) and two .5 CLRs. They were my my first subohm experience. I actually really enjoyed the vapor. But as the majority of my preferred mods can't fire below 1.2 I had no intention of staying there. Quickly rebuilt to 1.4ish. I like a tighter DTL so the airy center pin of .5 is working ok for me with the tank AFC closed way down.
I do have a pack of 1.0s coming from FT. (Should be here any month now) Hoping the tighter center pin might give me a wider range of adjustment on the tank AFC?

yes, yes it is - not unlike a standard bottom pin set-up on a coil

I'm guessin' you know (understand) - but thought it relevant to mention...

restricting the air flow with the 'AFC' will effect how your coil wicks

it creates a 'rich' / 'lean' condition (too much juice to air OR to much air to juice ratio)

biggest trouble results in not enuff air which forces excess juice into wick (flooding/gurgle)
