I am happy at 15w and the way it is hitting right now. When another coil goes out I will try using more.

If it's working, I think you hit the magic combo.

There you go again with that there french! Then top it off with ally-jabber...

I tried making the liner only one layer in order to facilitate wicking, made a bit of difference, hard to tell.
15 watts is right about where I run mine. More vapor than I'm used to!

That may be bangin the limiter on the design of this coil. They were not designed for cloud chasing contests.

where were you running stock coils at?

Something akin to doing this?

I still have not got my airs from china yet, but my X.l which appears very very comparable runs best around .9 ohms in the 9 to 12 watt range anyway. With my juices that is.

Stock i could do 20w but im happy with 15w the juice i have is 50/50 so i think it might be the liner i put on i think i did a single wrap of double layer. Next time i will try 1 ply and 1 wrap.

You still did great man! My first attempts at building tiny disposable coils required a couple tear aparts before I was even somewhat happy with it. Hats off to ya. And my juices are MUCH thicker Im a VG addict

I still use an X.I.......Taste it Love it......

And tough as a abrams! Thats where I perfected rayoned dual coiling thru a microscope Lots of Crown Royal and or Wild Turkey consumed too!

 

[mudram99]

Bike I did modify my X.is for increased air flow. drill bits are a vapers friend!

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.

I be very careful with dryburns on these coils.. the problem could be the rubber insulator that holds the center pin and coil wire.. If the coil leg heats up too much (which it probably will) then the rubber will burn and the nasty taste would happen...

They have 2 kinds.. this one;

and these;
https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10012242/2078202-gs-air-styled-bottom-coil-clearomizer

I bought some styled ones because they were in stock and to try them.. since I already have an original, I felt I could compare them.

No local supply, and shipping from the US is a challenge and can cost quite a bit considering the canuk dollar is diving..

Tampon coils in a Tootle Puffer...........what will the newbies think?...............

 

[Bikenstein]

I did not use much rayon at all. Only problem I still have is if I turn up the watts past 15 I start getting dry hits. I cant figure that part out lol.

If you pull rayon back and forth through your coil, you know you have it when you get a kind of squeak.
I think these coils may only do so much due to the restriction on wicking caused by the liner.
But it's enough to keep me happy!

It takes going through a "period" of adjustment to build a tampon coil correctly

One of those sights that can't be unseen...

Hello peeps. Passing through.

Bought a Lemo drop--$24 shipped--couldn't resist. If anyone is interested:

'bout time you quit looking, got off the fence and got somethin!

Wish I had known you were looking for one...I would have sold you mine...I don't like it.

Not with stock coils--they all use NR-R-NR wire. The legs never get hot.

I know....

I've been waiting all this time for a Lemo 2--I didn't want a 23 mm atty, but when I finally saw the Lemo 2, I was underwhelmed--it looks like another sub-ohm tank with increased airflow. Not good for a tootle puffer, I'm afraid.

 

[Katya]

Wish I had known you were looking for one...I would have sold you mine...I don't like it.

Really? Why? So many vapers rave about the Lemo. Are you sure it's not your build? Hey, we can experiment together--as soon as I get mine.

I wanted it so I could have a topper for my 50W istick to take to work. I hate having to use stock coils in anything as I would rather build it and when the flavor gets off, dry burn and rewick. I can't get the wicking right and when I put it in my pocket(these things have to be hidden at work...big no no) it leaks! Grrrr....
