It's easy to be witty when you have time to think...

Oh stahp. We all know you're a sharp tack.

And looking good there LVM luv da boots.

Thanks.
I love boot season. Almost hate to see it end but I'm happy for the beautiful days like today.

Dang, you make it so tempting to try!

Yull have no excuse soon

You should try it, Lost. It's really a lot easier than it looks. It does help to have a magnifying glass, but you look like you have a lot younger eyes than me, so you should be good.

I was thinking - that Our Threads have really become giants.

Between the GSA thread, the vape Wild thread, and the istick thread, we could go off and start our own forum.

This afternoon, I rebuilt my first GS Air coil. I used a 14 gauge needle and did 7 wraps. It ohmed out to 1.53 ohms, which is about what I was shooting for (but more about this later). This is the first time I've ever used rayon. I have about a lifetime's supply of Japanese organic cotton, but everyone has been raving about rayon, so thought I'd give it a try. After reading some threads on rayon, I tried to really pack it in and use a lot more than cotton. The hardest part of the whole rebuilding operation was just holding Cheech's magic gauze around it and getting the cap on straight. I had to take the cap off a couple of times to get it on right.

I'm vaping on it right now and it's great! Lots of vapor and really great taste. It was about 10 hits, though, before I actually started getting much taste. Part of that was figuring out how many watts to use on it, and probably the other had to do with the rayon wick.

The big head scratcher was the ohms reading. As mentioned above, after wrapping the coil and assembling it I got an ohm's reading on my meter of 1.53. However, after putting the coil on the GS Air base and putting that back on the tank, my iStick reads 1.3 ohms. I checked the reading on my Vamo, and it is also 1.3. My MVP 20W reads it as 1.2 ohms. So I took the tank off and put it back on the ohms meter, and it now reads 1.3 ohms. I've never had the ohms go down like that when rebuilding T3S coils, so I can't figure out what happened.

Incidentally, this is pretty similar to rebuilding T3S coils (they are the same as protank coils). The only addition is that cap on top and the liner. I'm thinking that these rebuilt coils could actually last a lot longer than a stock coil simply because they would be very easy to dry burn. Once you take the cap off, you can actually see the coil. You can't with the dual coils. I had mixed success with that. One I dry burned turned out great and it was like having a new coil. The second gave me the worst burnt hit I've ever experienced in my life, so that bottom coil that I couldn't see must have been pretty messed up. These single coils you should be able to dryburn, rewick, replace the liner if need be, and reuse until the coil part breaks.

Nothing but good news on the rebuilding front today!
Cheers to you!!!
I have no clue on the changing ohm readings??
The liner installation gets a little easier with each rebuild, and sometimes it's still like in the video for me,
dang, and start over!
When I'm ready to rebuild a rebuild, take them apart put in sonic cleaner and dry.
I'm starting to place a single layer of liner in the cap and then put it on.

I like it I like it. Maybe not the smell of it but still

And I'm keeping you in suspense a little longer than I had planned, because due to being thrown out and having to get all my stuff unpacked where I am temp, I didn't get it ready till yesterday evening and will carry it to the postal orifice tomorrow so they can tape it to a turtle and head him your way.

Looks can be deceiving... I do need reading glasses for the fine print.

It's 7:05pm in the Northeast, and I'm looking out the window - at Light. Lots of glorious Light.

Better days ahead.

Me tinks Cheech sells himself way short.

Honestly, only happened to be the first dumb enough to take a hammer and go, "Hold my beer, I'm gonna rebuild this sucker."

Not everyone "gets" our sense of humor, but we keep on keepin' on.

Hehe.

Many great discoveries and creations began with a similar statement, a couple of doctor bills too! "here hold my beer and watch this"

I'm beginning to think I just didn't screw the base on my ohm meter tight enough the first time and that caused the different ohm reading. It's definitely been stable once I've started vaping on it. And WOW does it have good flavor! Much better than cotton!

I actually tried to put the liner in the cap but my fingers just couldn't get it maneuvered in there.

Hey, you got it together! Was having trouble getting one of the liners to stay, when I pulled it back off for the third time, the liner
stayed in the cap. Took a needle and pushed it into position and it stayed while I put it back on.

I've made multiple life decisions that way.

I think this is how I ended up with both of my daughters.

I'm sure you are not strong arming the coil in tightly, but, maybe back the coil off a turn or less in the base and see if
it makes a better seal between the air tube and the coil...I'm not real sharp when it comes to these things.
I defer to the genius from North Carolina!
And you've changed!

Trust me...I'm no genius!! The only reason I have egrip coils is I bought an egrip and a pack of coils a month or so ago but I didn't really care for it so I traded it for a 30W istick. I had couple left and one morning last week the flavor tasted off on the air I was using. My grandson was asleep in the room where the air coils were kept and the girl who got me hooked on these coils had told me that you could use them in the Airs so I did. As a matter of fact, the coil is still in the tank.

As they both use the same coils, what didn't you like about the egrip?
