I cannot build anything

[USMCotaku]

If you have a good dmm that you know reads .2 higher consistently, that's fine.... Just subtract .2 . A benefit of an ohm meter is it can be used as a build platform.

I thought that I had it right yesterday unfortunately I did not going to start over when I wake up.

From what I could see the coil looked ok.... What was off?

 

[gel drops]

the coil im quite sure,when I pulled out the wick I saw a dark/Brown little peace on the of the wick.

I don't think it's as much the coil as it is the wick and juice. The problem I believe to be, is the juice is very thick, and causing poor wicking. I can wick 20/80 pg/vg with peaches and cream, but I can't chain vape. I have to give a primer puff or two after about every 3 drags. Now 50/50, I can chain vape the tank empty and be just fine. Again this is using peaches and cream cotton yarn in a 5/64 ID coil.

Oh.... If I recall correctly, those particular batteries are rewrapped LG's, and are not 35 amp.... They are 20 amp continuous (which will be fine in your box mods, I believe they have a 10a draw)

Not all Efest are LG reqwraps, probably a very small percentage. The 3200 mAH Efest purple is the best all purpose battery out there I have run it side by side the LG and the panny, as well as others. It has an unbelievable power length. Its good for 20A continuous but that's extreme sub ohming. Most of us vape under 10A. And these purple batteries just keep going for hours as that level. I wish they were the only batteries I own.

I still haven't and probably never will find an application where I need more than 10A continuous like a sony, its no wonder they are considering dropping it.

From what I've heard they aren't dropping the vtc line. They just don't really like is vapers using them . They are really designed for making battery packs

Just got done rebuilding my kayfun.. First pick, 28 gauge kanthal, 10 wraps nano coil, heated with torch and tweezers, then placed back on the rod (I use a nail for the kayfun builds) to mount. Notice the slight angle of the coil.... That's intentional for wicking

 

[USMCotaku]

Second pic....wicking. I used a thicker wick than usual, as the juice I'm using is higher pg then I normally use.

 

[USMCotaku]

Third pic, final step. Bend the wick down opposite direction of the coil angle and trim at the edge....then wet wick with your juice and press it to the edge of build deck, it will lay over the juice channels that way, yet you will still be able to screw on the chimney.

I believe Sony ONLY wants these cells to be used in packs, and is trying to prevent them being sold as individual batteries.

Notice the Hana gel? Broke down and bought one today

Are you vaping a sweet juice? Often the sweetener will caramelize and burn at higher wattages.

How do you get the wire to stay under the screw head when securing, I've built about 2 dozen of these and still have trouble which leads to hot spots/twisting.

Im in sub territory,I got it just not exactly sure how to get it yet but I will...

Hold the leg under screw with a small flat flat head

Making a coil /Then mount it correctly is a nother ballgame I got too learn.

Not sure if you would call it sweet but I'm not into the tutti frutti type taste.

 

[USMCotaku]

I think it depends on the type of sweetener they use...i have a flavor I like, but can't use in my kayfun anymore, it gunks up the coil to much... Have to dry burn and rewick too much

peaches and cream lookout I'm coming for you..for some reason it's a wicking issue i think,and I'm really upset just looking at it I think I paid 30 bucks or so for it and would like to use it.
