26 gauge, 4 wraps puts you around .6, 5 wraps around .8.
Run your 3mm bit through the wick hole, through the coil, and out the other wick hole...keeps the coil in line with the holes when adjusting and cutting the legs and installing the grommet and pin.
Just twist your wick to a point, run it through one hole and out the other, pull through till you feel the right amount of resistance, trim close to but not right at the side of the head, then poke the wick into the holes on each side

I do not have any problems when it comes to building just a regular micro coil,it does look like it might be a little bit easier to build "OCC head".The spacing between each wrap I will have to get used to that I guess you don't have to worry about any hot spots like you would on just a regular micro coil,however when I get around to doing it I will find out.

I will kinda be glad when the current head that came with the sub tank already installed goes bad,then I will have no choice as far as rebuilding it this thing has lasted about a month now,my Lemo got broken the glass portion,will have to research and find a replacement for it.The rba part on the sub tank holds around four mils of liquid I think vs the six mils of juice with a standard head that it came with.


That was one of the things I didn't like about the lemo.... It uses really thin glass......jar heads aren't known for being easy on gear :p

You don't have to space out the coils, but if you want a good way to do that...... Use a 3mm screw, perfect spacing every time

I bought one pack of 5.... Just to have a number of them in rotation, always have 4 or 5 built and ready to go :p

I started to buy 5 but it did not happen the only little problem that I might have with the OCC is pulling the leads up.Rip made that look easy which it probably is I paid close attention taking the rubber part off you would not believe the original...dirty dirty!

The problem I am having with rebuilding the .5 head is getting the coil to stay in place while i pull the leads up,once i remove the drill bit the coil does not want to stay in place for me to wick it..I will get it right,little more practice.


Run the bit through the wick holes to hold coil in place while bending legs, only pull out the bit just prior to wicking

You can, it's press fitted.....but the body sometimes cracks if you do. The secret is leaving the legs long when you wrap your coil.
1. Wrap coil on 3mm bit
2. Pull coil off bit, insert through top of atty, long legs makes this easier.
3. Run bit through wick hole, coil and out the other wick hole.
4. Bend up one leg and put on rubber gasket
5. Bend up other leg, put in pin.
6. Trim off legs....as close as possible.
7. Pull out bit, put in wick, twist one side tight so it goes through easily

Easy peasy :p
