This has always been my thought on it, there was a big debate a while ago on what caused juice


to darken. Between the heat and the .... wicking out of the coil...take a look at the coil I took apart on the blog, he's right, it goes both ways!

Yea, the crud gunking up the coil oozing back out into the juice supply.
My K1, I couldn't go more than 3 days before wham, nasty-foul tasting gunk-funk.
And just one of the reasons rebuilding coils is even better applied to a true RTA like a Kayfun etc.
Super easy, quick and cheap to just throw in a new wick for a fresh taste while the coil itself can last for months if you want.
And a dirty wick/coil doesn't funk up the rest of the tank like that.

I don't have a GS, but darkening juice is just stuff out of the atomizer -- wicks are not unidirectional. Try taking out a well-used coil unit and sit it on a paper towel, the stuff absorbed out is very dark.

You must be buying the elcheapo coils that forgo the check-valve.

 

[mudram99]

Yep, sweet tooth on your vape is bad for your coil longevity...

Thank you very much, I will keep my sweet tooth and just rebuild. I have found in larger capacity tanks it can indeed change the flavor slightly. I usually use smaller tanks for my honey vapin.

I agree, in this case, smaller is better.

The coil I rebuilt is still working pretty good. Still can not turn watts past 15 but I will take it. I bought a bunch of diy flavoring nic pg/vg, mixed up 5ml of juice last night for the 1st time. Not to bad I can vape it lol. Once I tune in my flavors I will really be saving some $$. My wife thinks I am crazy spending a bunch of money now but later she will be thanking me lol.

Once I get the materials mud and cheech sent me I will rebuild another coil and let everyone know how it went

 

[Cheechako]

What was your experience rebuilding, go smooth? what size bit did you use for the coils? Ple-e-e-ase!

I really wish people would quit worrying so much about those figures. I long for the ego twist days when I just turned it till it tasted good! Now I have to try be the guy sucking on the most electrons.

Yeah it was pretty easy after watching your video, ran into some trouble with the liner, had some flooding at 1st. Then I had dry hits so I reduced the amount of cotton in the coil, less is better I found. I think I took the build apart 3 times, last time I pitched the original liner and used flat cotton for the liner. For the coil 28g kanthal wire I used a 2mm screw driver 6 or 7 wraps I think 1.4ohm is what I get on my 30w istick.

Trouble with the original liner? I had the same problems reusing it.
Yes, cotton does swell, my preference is rayon.
Now I am using a 5/32 drill bit with 7 wraps, came up with 1.34 ohms, oops 1.35.
Thank you!
I took some new pictures for the build blog, editing them to get them up.
Can you get some pics of your builds?

Drill bit in shell


This one I really like, how much is the cap on?

 

[Kivrin]

Are you both using the 28ga kanthal?

 

[JoeyC]

Yeah the liner and I did not get along to well so I pitched it lol. The liner would slide down when I put the head back together and the flooding would start.

 

[Cheechako]

Are you both using the 28ga kanthal?

I am, but I want to play with 30 gauge Kanthal and see if it's easier to work with.

 

[Katdarling]

Hmmm. That's easy for YOU to say.

Thank you very much for doing that! That's why I'm your #1 Fan!

And I am yours. Match!

I think I did it! Thank you!

Cheech, you did it!!!!! Since I blogged your blog before you blogged your blog (huh?), shall I remove my/your Blog now? Yeah, maybe I'll keep it, just for good times. Up to you.

Saw this in another thread and had to share it...

That is one of our faves, Bikerz. DPL and I use lines from that one...... a lot!

Katdarling!
You can keep my video for as long as you want!

Got the Blog up about relining the coil...
Relining the GS Air Coil

And a big shout out to Katya!
Thank you for lighting a candle instead of cursing my darkness!

 

[Cheechako]

I would rather pay Cheechako to rebuild my coils than attempt it myself (bad hands and eyes here)..

Anytime! The price is diet cookies...Dark Side has to eat too.

 

[northhar]

thanks Cheechako for the coil building video..
I rebuilt my first coil.. used 10 wraps 28ga on a 17 gauge needle with rayon.. for the outer layer wrap I used some of my old supply of Lipton pyramid tea bag material..

It came out to 1.4ohm and is vaping great.. I have used about 4mls so far and no flooding,gurgling or leaks..

The Gs-air is quite the tank.. my gennies are feeling lonely, since I got it..

Thanks to the op for posting about it..

 

[Cheechako]

I love this tank rebuilt, glad I wasn't imagining it!
Thank you for posting your rebuild info...hopefully more will chime in.
Cheers!

And Javamon is the genius who brought them to our attention, a big debt to Javamon!

Yeah Java is a pretty kool kat if you have followed him around a few threads.

So if I send Diet Cookies and used coils, we should be good? I can do this!

(I do have a paypal account if you would rather have cash)
