Not my best work, but it should do! ... sorry for the upside down photos.. urg taptalk...
Looks good to me! Neat and tidy. One leg from each coil goes through the centre post yeah?

yeah. thats the positive post. make sure you dont have any stray leads from that touching the deck, or its a short.
Cool. And once you feed the leg through, do u just bend it down and then screw down?

Wicked and juiced! =)
again, not my best work.. but vape is good enough
anemic vapors because its time to change the battery!

You can do it. Just keep at it. I've been at it 9months, so dont be discouraged if my coils look better..
Lets see what you got! (pics)

Haha, I KNOW they'll look better [emoji23] Found a nice tutorial vid on YT, just watching a build then I'll crack on and post pics [emoji106]

tobh is a dual coil atty, but try getting a single coil in there first so you know what you are dealing with. in the beginning it can be hard to wrap consistant coils so that they glow at the same rate IMO - if they glow at different rates juice on one side will burn faster and you'll get dry hits even though one wick is totally saturated (the other will be bone dry).
Also - be sure and TEST your builds (before firing them to tighten coils or anything)! testing on an MVP isn't idea, but its better than running an untested build. unless you got an ohmtester/digital multimeter.
1.2 ohm.
Coils aren't touching deck or posts but they definitely aren't heating quick or evenly.
Vapor production is rubbish!

looks like you may want to wrap on a smaller rod. I use 5/64.
It seems like if you use a wider rod it is harder to keep your wraps tight, and the coils like to move around a bit more. wider depends on the gauge of kanthal you are using.. it also depends on how many wraps - more wraps are required to keep the coil stable on larger rods.
You are shooting for a higher resistance than I am, so I'd user a wider rod than 5/64, maybe like 1/8. on a 1/8 drill bit to get to a target resistance of about 1.3ohms, you'd need 12 wraps on each coil (assuming dual micro coil).

The positives: it looks like you got them mounted ok, and it looks like you got them placed nicely!!
Happy to hear there's some positives
Yeah the mounting was really fiddly but I got it in the end.
Not sure about inches but the rod I used was 3mm. I got a 2mm and a 1.5mm also. This kanthal is pretty springy, it's 0.25mm, and doesn't like to squish together with the tweezers at all. 0.25mm is 30 gauge? Not 100% sure, but I wrapped 6 times (5/6 wrap?) and I was happy it came out around 1.2 ohms, and not 2.8 like my build last night lol.

What do you think is causing the poor vapour production? I used much less wick this time, and going by the vid tutorial I folded them under the coils again to make like a little cotton 'bed' underneath.

They may have been slightly too long again! [emoji23]
