EVOD coil stem diameter difference

[minitater]

Anyone ever run into this? The replacement EVOD coils I just got ( Kanger on package) the air tube stem that goes into the air hole on the mouthpiece is about 20 thousands larger than the original coil air tube stem? No biggie, I carefully ground it down and it now fits fine, but I thought they were universally sized? a possibility is that the original evod I bought may not be a genuine Kanger?
All the other parts seem the same except the new Kanger coils have a taste wick on top of the coil wick and the old ones just have one wick through the coil. Now I remember why I bought that Dremmel years ago!
thanks

That's strange. I have an evod I am pretty sure is a fake, but I am using genuine Kanger coils with it and they fit just fine. I had a coil in there that I bought locally and the vapor production was lacking a LOT. Once I bought the kanger replacement coils the vapor production is back and working very well. I find the stem is a little longer on the Kangers but that's about it.

Strange yes, as it is the width of the tube that is larger rather than the height as you mentioned. And yes the new Kanger coils have the extra wick too which seems to make for better flavor also.

Evod heads have a slightly "wider" rim around the bottom o-rings. They will not fit into a Kanger T3S. A Kanger head will fit into an Evod, but an Evod head will not fit into a Kanger. As far as I know, both Kanger and Evod heads will fit into a Protank and Unitank.

Now I get it! I got replacement heads for the T3 not the EVOD. Cool, I ordered a few T3's anyway.
thanks for the info.

Yeah slight differences between the two. If I were you I would invest in some kanthal and wick. I used to think it would be a hassle to make my own coils, but it only took me three attempts to get right and since then I've saved untold amounts of money. I've been using 2 evods for over a year now simply rebuilding the coils. The only thing that unfortunately degrades noticeably is the rubber 'grommit' (?) that's used to separate the positive and negative wires.

Yes, I had that idea a week ago so should have some wire here in a day or so.
