First Kanger protank coil rebuild!!!

[Killaq2188]

Ok so.. I just rebuilt my first knager protank coil with 32g kanthal wire and 3mm silica wick with a 4/5 wrap. It came out to 2.01omhs and it hits very good im very pleased with my self!! lol yay!!! hahahahha next time im gunna try a 5/6 wrap or a 3/4 wrap to play and see how they they do. I have close to 9 coils for my 2 clear and 1 purple tanks!!!!

Congrats on the successful build! I'm about to try 32 with 2mm wick. I think 5/6 wrap and see what I get ... wish me luck!

Keep at it Killaq2188,
next is the world of DIY fluid....

Good luck!!! it was really easy I watched Grimmgreen rebuild it and just tried it and came out good the first try... but the only thing I found to be slightly annoying is moving the coil around so that it doesnt make contact with the sides. Im thinking about making a cotton wick tomorrow ill try n take some pics.

I have been looking into it!! , I have been vaping on and off for about a year but just recently given up analogs all together. I seem to crave the taste of the juice now over the need for a cig. I have a turbine rba but havent got my magneto in the mail yet and still need to order batteries and a charger. Then I am all set to cloud it up!! lol

I wrap my 32s 5/6 as tight as possible, micro/nano style with cotton. I find that the coil holds its position better so changing the cotton in and out is much easier.

Do you wrap coil first then pull wick through?

Hello there

Ok.. sooo I couldnt wait to rebuild another coil lol. Here is the 2nd with 5/6 wraps 32g kanthal and 3mm wick 1.99 ohms with a tighter wrap.

Yeah i like to use the 3mm. The 2mm meant i had to pack the thing out with more than just 2 flavour wicks otherwise it would gurgle and leak. 6 loops 2.5 ohm's.

Have you noticed a difference in the flavor of your juice when building your own? It seems like there is more flavor with the rebuilt coils then the stock.

Nice job on the rebuild, vape away!

I built my first coils this week for the Igo-L, using 32g wire. Until reading this thread it just never occurred to me that I can do this for my Protanks too. I've been doing it just for dripping. This opens up a whole new world. Thanks!

Actually it's pretty easy. Well compare it to recoiling a T3 it's a walk in the park, though the thing with the T3 is getting the grommit back into the base. , It was months before i realised i could push it back in with the tip of my little finger with ease. The problems i had leading up to that, oh god !

Yeah i was looking at getting an IGO L. Don't like the fact there are no holes in the terminals though, I'd have nothing but problems with that. Now i'm looking at the IGO W instead !.

Great job. I haven't tried it yet but I have around 15 old kanger atomizers waiting. I'm still not sure what wick/wire I'm going with. I'll be aiming for 1.8 ohm for my evod's and 2.5 for my protanks.

Thank you on the rebuild!! I really do appreciate it . I love this forum and all the members!! Everyone is nice and welcoming. Hopefully I dont become a nussance lol. I am looking forward to rebuilding my turbine and I will be taking pics and possibly and vid, also my scar rda as well!!

Congrats I'm fairly new to the vape community (started vaping 3 months now) and I'm comfortable enough to try my hand at learning a few new tricks. Glad to see there is some success among rookies like myself.

Congrats Killaq! I'm envious, because I've clutzed out with my first few attempts (I wound up with a couple .5 Ohm coils, though I was aiming for 2.2-2.4 Ohms). I've been trying my PT rebuilds using 2 mm Ekowool, I wonder if it would help if I use a larger thickness.

BTW what does 4/5 wrap mean? I though wraps was a round number, i.e. 6 times around the wick to hit the 2 - 2.4 ohm range (depending on the wire thickness).

4/5 wrap means its 4 full wraps plu the 2 1/2 wraps where the wires meet each other. If you look ant the coil from the top like in the pic you will see 6 wraps but from the bottm you only see five. 5/6 wrap.
