I wasn't able to move the ceramic chip at all. When I tried to rotate it, it cracked on me.

Bummer, maybe I just got lucky. I placed one tip of my pliers next to the chip tab on one side and the other tip of my pliers on the opposite side of the other tab. A firm twist is all it took the rotate the chip slightly.
Good morning to all,well the Chinese manufactures aren't completely stupid they don't really want us to be able to rewick these things that easily,they want peeps to by packages of coil heads,some chips lol
My nano tank just departed Germany cause I live in France so am guessing it will show up tmrw via dhl express,I'll report my findings shortly after I get a chance to build the rba base and take those chip coils for a spin ..
Sorry.....I build spaced coils. With only 8 wraps, a spaced coil will perfectly fit over the large bottom air hole. I think I want to rebuild with a new coil. I believe I have found the perfect wick length, having the wick extend about 1/8 inch above the top of the coil results in the coil reaching the bottom of the juice channel perfectly, however I also think that having the coil being just 2.5 mm in diameter results in the wick not being thick enough to fill the channel. I am getting several drops of juice leaking whenever I refill the tank. I think I will try doing a 10 wrap coil at 3 mm.
One thing to keep in mind too is that if you are using a simple single wire coil, it won't take as much wattage to heat up as a Clapton, or even the twisted wire that iJoy uses in the chip coil. With the chip coil, I was vaping at 45-50 watts while with my current coil build, I'm vaping it at 35 watts.
Thanks for all the info jseah,not sure if you had a chance to catch Daniels review of the nano on djslb vapes on you tube? Anyways check it out if you get a chance,he uses 3.5 mm coils and 316 l ss wire with 10 wraps I think,so his cotton wicks are pretty beefy as well,I think it might help you out bud..
I do think you're absolutely right that 2.5 mm is a tad small for those big ... juice Chanel's to be filled in,I think the pre made coils are at least 3 mm coils..
Do you need to strum ss coils to glow them evenly like kanthal or not? Am sorry for all the questions am just trying to soak up as much info as possible so I can get it right;-)
It depends. Strumming does help to even out the coil. I just used the Coil Master jig to wind two 12 wrap 3 mm coils. Since the Coil Master winds it as a contact coil, strumming it will give it a very slight separation. My guess is it will give me a coil somewhere close to 0.4-0.45 ohms.
Here is my latest build. Dual coils, 26 gauge SS316, 3 mm diameter, 12 wraps. Measures out at 0.39 ohms (mod rounded down since it detected the coil as 0.397 ohms). Pinched the coils while dry firing it to ensure that there was no hot spots, then strummed the coils to even them out. The space in the outer wraps doesn't affect even heating. Vaping it in power mode at 50 watts and it is smoother than my previous build at 35 watts. The length of the coil fits the length of the bottom airflow perfectly. In SS316 TC mode, the vape is a little weak. I think because the mod rounded down the coil resistance so the temp protection is a little off.
Thanks for the pics bud that helps out a lot to actually see it,I'll try the same build as soon as I get it,did you check out djslb vapes?
Yeah, I had watched his video this past weekend. Actually I think 50 watts is a tad too high for these coils. I'm using max VG juice and if I start chain vaping, the wicking is just starting to have a problem in keeping up. I lowered it to 48 watts and can chain vape without the wick starting to taste like it is drying out.
Good deal,thanks again my friend,please keep me updated with you're vaping success with the nano and I'll do the same;-)
I have to say I was favorably impressed with the chip coil, and I don't like prefab coils. I did a write up about it.
