JPF Bump!

Anyone done a "crazy 8" build?

kind of a faked double coil, I guess?

Might try that...

Might as well load up on it, it's cheap and doesn't go bad. I got 100' of wire and 10' of wick for under $8.00 shipped from ebay.

I just checked my old ebay order and it was actually 12 and change, not $8. Hey it was almost a year ago and I'm getting' old

Can you explain what the number means and if I did it right?

#5 jpf, I'm sorry you wife is not doing well, hopefully she starts feeling better soon.

I just watched the news. National news covered the new tobacco smoking report, no mention of vaping. Local news recapped the same info rather quickly then moved on to vaping, with a on scene reporter at a local B&M. I realize that things can look bad after editing, but this local vape shop mucked it completely, focusing on the variety of battery/tank options as style/fashion and not mentioning the function/capacity once. And then a co-worker of the vape shop spokesperson blew a ginormous cloud straight into the camera. Dolts. Still, the Surgeon General seems to be pro vaping, and the local news did not intentionally contradict the notion. So there's that...

Friday night, last entry, quote-a-thon! (skip the quotes if you're caught up)

1: Yeah for the weekend!!
I want my cookie Snarf!

Get a cookie already! You won it, you deserve it! (in store pick-up only)

#2 I need some Kanthal wire, but not 100 feet or 50 feet, probably about 3 feet.

Unless you get it locally, shipping 3-5 feet will be ~1/3 the cost of 100ft shuipped.

2: That is kinda what I did to get the name, I googled "names of gas mask game characters"

Have you ever searched for that before? Anyone? I haven't.

<-This. I prefer TemCo via epoop, but others can beat their price. Just make sure it's "A1" Kanthal.

Yes, true, I'll be rebuilding Kanger T3' heads and Protank 1, 2 and mini heads and Evod bcc heads. What gauge would you recommend? 30, or 32 or something else? Thanks!

30 gauge if you're shooting for 1.8 ohms or less, 32g for higher ohms.

ive read that about the cleaning, woulnt had thought to remove the screws. appreciate the tip!
for the igo build, i think id like to retry the EKO, i havent had a great build with it yet. maybe just a simple non MC?
the dragon coil worked well for me, most the time. it took some moving around of the saturated cotton. it didnt put out the clouds like i anticipated tho.
so far, by best simple build has been a wide MC, im not sure the size of the drill bit, maybe 3/16? its about 1.5-2x wider than the rda screw and allows for a snug doubled over 2.5mm silica wick to fit thru. i leave a small amount of wick on one side (its usually right up against the cover wall) but importantly touching the deck, and a leg or two of the other side of the wick to rest in the deck.

what was the looped build you did? i tired one (guesswork) a couple months back and it failed...

a)Ekowool, just skip the micro coil. The 2&3mm are fat, go for a few wraps with nice, even coil spacing. It's a PIA, but I measure and cut my wire to the required resistance per inch that I'm shooting for. I don't like guesswork when the info is readily available.

Oh i have never used cotton, I've heard good things about maybe I'll try it some time. But will need a little but of advice.

There is so much "but" advice I don't know where to start. JK, sorry. It's TMI for this thread, you have research to do.

I would LOVE to see pictures of that set up! I have some Nichrome sitting around I will never use... might be worth trying something like this...

I've already done 2 and 3 twisted together, I just want to do 4 to use it up faster. There are videos...
I don't know about Nichrome, folks say it "tastes" funny so I never bought any. I bet most cartos and clearo heads use Nichrome, I never thought they were worse in flavor.

#3

What a totally unproductive day I've had. I guess that's okay once in while--but I seem to have had an awful lot of them lately!

Thanks for those links, Lynzy. I'm going to read through them, too. The couple of times that I've bought it myself, I've always just picked up small amounts of the wire--I guess it makes sense to get more. I'll take MoonLit's advice and look at eBay (I'm also looking at a dental pick there for rebuilding).

Dental pick?

I've bought way too many sizes of wire. 28 is good for rebuildables at low-ish ohms. 30 works well for a little higher ohm rebuildables or dual coils, and medium to low ohm clearo coils. 32 isn't great for rebuildables, but makes clearo heads at 2 ohms and up easily.


If you read all that, I apologize. I'm off for the night, good luck on the contest!

LOL, I know the feeling! As you know, I've had problems with such basic things as "what day is it?" this week!

This is contest thread. The rules are explained in the first post, but. . . you can post up to enter up to five times a day by posting--those posts should be numbered 1-5. You can post more than five times, but only five numbered entries per day. Please read the first post for all the details!

This thread sure has turned into quite a technical one over the last few days. . .

Yeah, all this technical stuff is way over my head. Maybe someday I'll need it.

Yeah... I know... I bought it, 100 feet (rolls eyes), back when I was young and dumb... If I knew then. Know whut I am sayin'!

Dental pick?

I've bought way too many sizes of wire. 28 is good for rebuildables at low-ish ohms. 30 works well for a little higher ohm rebuildables or dual coils, and medium to low ohm clearo coils. 32 isn't great for rebuildables, but makes clearo heads at 2 ohms and up easily.

Yes, you're right about the shipping if that was the only thing that someone was buying online. I've bought small amounts a couple of times, but it was with several other things that I was already ordering so shipping wasn't really an issue.

I've seen several videos (both Grimm Green and Rip Trippers, actually) who have suggested a dental pick as a useful tool to manipulate coils. I have horrible dexterity in my hands, and it looks like something that will help me.

I'm off for the night, too. Good luck everyone!

Thanks for the bump Boardo. I like the tech talk, remember learning is fun, even if it is over your head for now, you never know when it'll come in handy.

First chance I've had to post again today. Not a good one. Maybe once Wifey is asleep I'll get a little more time.

So Sorry to hear Both "You" & "Wifey" are not having a GOOD DAY . . .

Of Course - GOOD VIBES being sent to both of "You" . . .

I've been very negligent of my friends here on the thread. Life is returning back to normal for me. I'm gonna take the weekend off and then back to the mundane role of business owner Monday. After that, it's time to be creative and inventing more flavors. I've set myself the tast of coming up with a few things I find very challenging.
First, a melon juice which might be impossible because I detest watermelon's flavor and smell, but I LOVE other melons.. like cantelope.
Secondly, a GREAT Menthol cigarette for a dear friend.
Thirdly, a really good tobacco..
Fourthly, a chocolate that I personally really enjoy. I love the smell and taste of Chocolate, but I've never vaped a good chocolate. This is what I want most of all!!
Wish me luck and we will all enjoy the results!!!
