How To Rebuild OCC Coils For The Subtank Mini

[Dreams2freedom]

Hey Ya'll

I put together a video showing how I rebuild the OCC coils that come with the SUBTANK mini. I hope it is helpful. Man it took a long time to put this video together.

Good video, well put together. Something thing you forgot to mention, the same thing most forget, is to stress the importance of making sure your fingers are as clean as possible. Any oils or anything on your hands will transfer to the outside of the coil head and the cotton and it will affect the taste. I always wet a paper towel with the Everclear I use to clean my wires and wipe my fingers clean before I start a rebuild.

I always give the coil a quick torch before I put it is as well, since you cannot dry fire the coil once you put it in place.

I washed at first with soap, but then switched to hot water and a bit of vinegar and then more hot water. The vinegar kills any smells and the oils.

Hope helps.

I always dry fire the coil and make adjustments before I wick it. Should I not do that?

There is a very good chance you will scorch the rubber grommet if you dry fire the coil after it is installed. I have had a couple get burnt under normal use, after rebuilding. I just got some new heads with the red insulators, I'm hoping they have a better heat tolerance.

I see. Ya, mine are red. Haven't burnt them yet, but that's good to know!
