first kanger pt3 rebuild issues

[STEELRAIN]

I just rebuilt my first pt3 coil and im having some issues.

1. Ohms are high (5.5)
2. Flooding (cotton wick)
3. Odd flavor (not burned) just not what i was expecting

Any help on the matter would be great. Im hoping to get good at this as my Taifun Gt will be here soon and i dont really want to deal with simple issues like this with that.

Im using 5/64 bit with 9 wraps

Well depending on the gauge wire your using explains the high ohms, as well as the amount of wraps. And if your going to wrap it that much you want to make sure each wrap touches each other for more heat (lower ohm). If it's flooding it may be because your not putting enough cotton or your chimney isn't on right. You want to make sure the sides of the atomizer has little to no holes in it where the cotton/silica should be sticking out. And the wierd taste is from the cotton. You want to make sure the cotton you use is organic, anything else I wouldn't recommend to use. Unlike regular (100%) cotton, organic doesn't use any pesticides or any other chemicals when growing, all there is is the bleaching of the cotton from hydrogen peroxide. But it's safe because hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) breaks down to H2O and O (water and oxygen) when heated. Plus organic cotton taste perfect right out the bag so there are no problems with a cotton-y taste.

What gauge wire are you using? 9 wraps is a lot, unless you're building a micro coil.

Try putting in a little more cotton - if you have too little, it'll flood. Too much and it'll choke the coil. It takes some trial and error to get the feel for how much is right.

32ga kanthal was doing a micro coil. and then was going to do a nano. i think the flooding issue is the fact that i didnt put enough cotton in. im going to try another build and see how that goes.

go the Ohms down to 3.8 but still way to high.. i watched to riptrippers vid and did it how he did but im still getting high Ohms

You are using 2 coils right? I built one last night 10 wraps 16 ga. Needle and it only came out to 1.0 ohm with 30 ga wire. Wouldn't think your setup would be that high with 2 coils but I have no idea.

But that 1 ohm pt3 on a mech was the best vape I've ever gotten from a protank btw.

I tried 2 coils on it but only one would fire for some reason

 

[STEELRAIN]

just did a dual coil build and its hitting .1 Ohms. I have watched tons of vids and read everything i can. I have no idea why im having these issues

My first one was .1 as we'll not sure why, pulled it out and tried again and it was 1.0 I don't know enough about coils to troubleshoot anything. I would just keep trying til it works but I'm a little OCD and got a lot of patience.
