Icy Day Makes For Vapey Play

[seashells]

Been at the dining table turned workbench today learning what a burned up coil looks like. Gah! I have 2. Messy but neato!

Can't rebuild yet, I don't have the right gauge kanthal but I have 2mm ekowool and cotton cooking twine. So I used some twine for blanket threads- nice flavor! But the ekowool is braided- how many strands for rewicking? And it just comes apart.

Anyway, any day being perplexed by coil heads is better than a day at the office.

Lol, it's fracking freezing outside. Hope you stay warm.

Yep. 29 here, watching it SNOWWW! I wish I could help you with the ekowool question. I have some 2.5mm silica that worked out pretty well.

 

[Huckleberried]

Did you dry burn? You can bring them back to life temporarily, till you get your kanthal.

When it's nice and cold, vape a bit outdoors. You get a lot more vapor that way.

It's 18 degrees where I am.

Perfect day for getting my Bilbo on, sitting by the fire with my feet upon the hearth and blowing vapor rings.

I can't imagine I'm supposed to use a whole section- it's just awfully thick.

Wonder if it'll snow here this winter... this ice is too darn treacherous!

But that was after a 47 Elf Hunter on Laurelin.

If I understand correctly- You do not separate the ekowool into strands. You just put it straight into the coil, or double it up. Be sure to give it a little play so it doesn't choke the wicking.

It's a bitter 62* here in San Diego. (Sorry I had to do it)

I didn't micro coil with it, just a regular wrap coil. SURELY someone with more experience will pop in. I will say, next time I'll order smaller.

Get on Landroval, fool.

Or maybe I'll fire up the old Elf.

But seriously, get on Landroval.

Thanks for the tip- no, I ogled them awhile and then threw them away. I had some heads that needed to be cleaned that still had nice coils and I have new ones in packaging.

SAN DIEGO SAN DIEGO SAN DIEGO! I missed my yearly trip out there this year, my niece just moved there, I recently had a client out there just all of you RUBBING ITIN!!

Okay... ekowool. When I start using it I'll do it that way and see what happens.

 

[Huckleberried]

I stopped throwing mine away. I finally started dry burning to bring them back to life, then I got curious about rebuilding so I stopped tossing them out. I've only done a few, but it's pretty easy for a basic build. My micro coil turned out to be more like a sprung slinky, lol. I fired the kanthal before and after, so I'm not sure what happened. Regardless, I won't stop trying

A tip for you if you have heads that are rebuildable protank/evod/CE5 whatever don't throw them away. Just stick them in a baggie and hold on to them. You might decide later to rebuild them and then you will have a supply for parts. If you do not there are people here on ECF who would love to have them.

 

[seashells]

You mean the wire itself? You keep it? How many times can you "bring it back"? I mean, I just ordered 100' for about $10 including shipping so I'd think that's an awful lot of effort. Unless winding a coil is awful.

Oh yes, I'm keeping the heads- it's just the burnt up wicking and charred wire I'm throwing away.
