Help rebuilding wick and coil on ce5 clearomizer

[ellejewell]

Hi all,
I just ordered some wicking material and some Kanthal wire. I know the process to rebuild the wick and coil. But my question is. Does my ohm have to read EXACTLY 2.4 like the head says? I have been looking at videos and the process seems simple enough, but no one really specifies what the range in ohms should be when checking with a multimeter! I have an ego t 1100mah battery and a 1300mah battery. I would greatly appreciate some clarification on this.
I am learning so much here!

You can build your coils to any ohms you fancy - the determining factor is the battery.
With ego batteries you don't really want to go below 2 ohms as they're not designed to work much below that.
Safety first.

Here's a useful thread.....

Agreed. CE5 prebuilt coils are so cheap and TINY, though that I wouldn't say it's worth it to rebuild them. I'd just buy new ones.

Thanks Shirtbloke! Exactly what I was looking for! Your right safety first... Always

cloudmann, mine are rebuildable and I do have like 12 of them, but I like different flavors so it would cost me a fortune to toss em and get new ones. Easier to just clean and rebuild them and I much prefer their vaping ability. Not to much an not too little far better than the 808's I tried years ago

I find that 1.8 - 2.2 ohms is best on your style of batteries in clearos like the CE5. My wife likes the Kanger CE4's that are 1.6 ohms at 3.7 volts, but that's a little hot to me. Good luck building your winding skills!

I agree - rebuilding them costs maybe 10% of the costs of a new head. But then I'm cheap.

Maybe consider a 14mm rda like the Smok Dripper RDA... drippers are an awesome way to try new flavors and that particulsr one lines up fairly well on Ego batteries. Just keep the coils in the 2 ohm range for safety.

LOL Shirtbloke, I am cheap too!

Thanks 440B I am a wire and bead artist so wrapping will be a simple process for me thanks for the info writing it down now! awesome! thanks everyone!

Cloudmann, I was trying to use my old 808 cartomizers to "drip test" with but it just doesnt work right. So I will look into that. I am so overwhelmed by all the different tanks, mods, battery styles etc. I would love to get my hands on a few and give them a spin. The ego and ce 5 seem simple enough for now, but I do see something better in my near future. I just have to learn the ins and outs of it all first
