First coil rebuild

[Ktribb]

So I got some kanthal fin a local B&M for my first rebuild, all they had was 28g, which is alright, did 8 wraps with a cotton wick, 1.3 ohm is what it ended up as and I'm loving it! Turned out successful and I'm happy with it. Using iTaste SVD in a mini protank 2, haven't gotten a regular sized yet as I just got into all this and had an eGo style battery before.

Congrats. I just figured it out a week ago. Can't believe I waited this long to use an rda.
Nothing better than building a nice coil yourself

Congrats on you first coil. When you can, get some 30g and compare the two. You can get more wraps with the 28g but the 30g heats up quicker.

Grats. I have ordered a rebuildable drip tank and will be doing the same soon.

Nice It's very satisfying doing that ! Glad its worked out well for you. I've incurred many headaches myself !
I have two mini protank 2's myself and love them !

I was wondering what the difference between the two was, I will definitely have to get some 30g, mostly bc I left my 10ft coil of 28g out when I went the the bathroom and my dog decided to get it all tangled up and kinked, mostly ruined haha, she's like a ninja I tell ya, thanks for the info! And parrot head, it's not hard at all, just watch some vids on it and read up on different wrap estimates for each size wire and you'll be happy with your results! And test with a meter before you put it on your battery haha

Congrats on your first coil! Im using 28g as well on my kayfun 3.1. I get about 6 wraps around the provided screwdriver and am clocking in at about 1-1.1 ohms. Im vaping on a VR edition Nemesis and its such a nice vape. Flavor and TH are both spot on. I think I will get some 30g soon just to try it out. Good luck and vape on!!

Yea it would be nice to have a quicker warm up, so I think I'm going to be switching to either 30g or 32g, flavor is good, now I'm ready for making my juice! Have a few flavors I can't find that I'd like to make

Grats on the first coil! I just built my first one this week and am in love as well.

I noticed a massive flavor difference from the Protank 2 / eGo Mega vV2 that I was using. It was a bit pricey to get all the wick materials, mod, good batteries, good charger, multimeter, etc etc

But the satisfaction is unparalleled. A completely different vaping experience imho.

To those interested in building their own coils... Please use the wealth of information here on SAFETY and take your time. Its worth it.

I first walked into my local B&M and got an eGo style Vv starter kit and had a spare passthrough battery, it sufficed for a day when I got a protank 2 mini, night an day difference, now I went and got an SVD, and loving it.

Congratulations! That bag of cotton is going to last forever. I have no idea why I bought three bags.

 

[Ktribb]

I can imagine how cotton is going to last forever haha!

Well, if you put it that way. hehehe.

I've been vaping on cotton rebuildable heads for about four months. I don't know how many heads that is, but I have used only about 1/3 of the bag. Not a bad thing obviously.
