Yeah, i always seem to be the exception to the rule lol, i still can't figure out how to use my rda , i mean i know it's built right and wicked right but i can't seem to figure out the juice level . It also has one air hole and if you block it you will blow a head gasket trying to get some vapor .

what RDA ? (I forgot)
and you’re just doing a simple single coil ?

I take a ‘file’ and scratch a groove where the coil wire falls
then when cap is on it is easy to line the air hole up with coil...

with cap off, I just drip juice on new dry wrap and count drops
1,2,3,4,5,6 till I see it saturated – then after just drop a few to keep it wet...

make something up in your mind – 2 drops, 10 puffs
it will all fall into place, it’s a lot of work…

if it's your Nimbus, try this......single coil build, 28 or 30 ga kanthal...on a 3/32 or a 1/8th bit 7 wraps w/28ga.....9 wraps w/30ga....after installing your coil tighten & clip all excess and make sure nothing is touching....read your resistance if it reads your fine.....you also must line up and center your coil with the air-hole in the top-cap.....wick w/cotton, make sure the cotton moves thru the coil without much resistance and you should be good to go......on my Nimbus i drilled out my air-hole to 1/16th.....try 5 to 7 drops of Jooze to start with

here is my first Nimbus Build

I have been doing triples and double coils very similar to what yours looks like , i keep the coils about 1/4 off the floor and wick with cotton , at first the wick was just one long one going through three separate coils but that was a little much.

What do you mean line it up with the air hole , the air hole is up in the middle of the mod , on a Kayfun i lift the coil off the air hole but not sure what you mean with the Nimbus.

what RDA ? (I forgot)

Thanks guys , i'll try again

Actually i suppose it did work , i was just expecting huge clouds and i did not get it but i'll tell you after a few seconds i had to go lay down because it knocked me on my ....

Thinking about drilling another air hole but it might be too much , i also drilled out the one with a 1/16th bit.

Ok, i just looked at it again, i see what your saying now , yeah i did not even think about how the airhole can help with the vape.

Thanks guys, will let you know

on the nimbus your coil must be the same height and centered with the airhole on the top-cap.....put the cap next to the deck and it will give you an idea on the correct height and it also needs to be centered....... after building when you put the top-cap on the Nimbus you want the coil on the inside to be the same height and centered with the air-hole on the top-cap this way you get even airflow over the coil with no bad taste and nothing but good flavor

 

[Sam Pan]

That's really nice of you. My mvp is the shine edition with criss-cross lines and blue gems attached so
I couldn't/wouldn't use a wrap on it. But I bet there are others here who would love one.

You know this is a week too late - I ordered this shine because my husband has the black one & I didn't
want the two to get mixed up and I didn't see a wrap that I really wanted. Plus the total cost of the
battery & that of the wrap from 2 different sites, 2 different shipping orders kinda ended up
being the same cost as the shine - so i went with it.

If this was just last week, I'd probably take you up on it. I just got this shine yesterday.

I do plan on picking up another standard mvp locally in the next few weeks so you might be getting a pm
from me. Cool.

Cool

definitely going to try this tonight. currently dripping on a 2.0 ohm single coil. 30 gauge with 8 wraps. ive tried dual coils but it doesnt fire evenly. one coil would fire up but the other coil struggles. im using the patriot with 5/64 air holes.

.........@Sam Pan, let us know how it works out for ya

Thanks Sando, would of never of known to do that . I guess dual coils is not needed then unless you make an air hole on the other side.

yeah sando said it very well,
just build your coil and add wick,
funny how worried one might be about all the complexities of
building a coil, then they do it and laff about how elementary it is…
(how I felt at first, and read many others the same)

wow, your building triple coils and I bet using 28ga or 30ga;
I guess you guys MVP are stronger than mine, ‘cause mine don’t like pulling
that kinda load… single 32ga is how I roll…

stiil can’t get my head around how/why, but big diff lining up
the air hole in cap to be right in front of coil wire…

then amount of juice depends on wick size & how big the deck area is
on said RDA, but like all the rest, just keep it wet…

yepper if your using the Nimbus on the MVP there is no need for dual coils, one is plenty, now if you go to the Mec you definetly want to drill the other side....glad ya got it sorted out now you can enjoy the drip.
you'll have to play with how much cotton/jooze to use; you'll figure it out

Puf, thing of an analog cig in a calm room. Smoke goes straight up. Now take a straw and blow directly into it. Smoke pushes ahead. Now move the straw an inch or so to the side of the smoke stream... pretty much nuttin happens.

So essentially you want the air you draw thru the hole to hit the hot coil that's spewing vapor. That way it increases what you get to inhale.

very, Very, VERY NICE wrap Sam Pan, you did a beautiful job. I like the idea of using bridle leather, it is so soft and smooth, but would be an awesome grip over the slippery grip of the metal. If you happen to find that template when you are bumping around your files, could you let me know and I will pm my e-mail addy to you, I'd love to give a try at making one of those wraps. I have never done anything with leather before, but I'd give it a good try. I have a Hobby Lobby about 85 miles from me, they ought to have some leather, and then I guess there is always Tandy for some supplies . .

I have some questions. Inevitably reading around I find guys mentioning mods that have 15 watts, 20 watts, etc (and of course higher corresponding voltage ranges). Heres what I dont understand: how would such extra watts be useful? For example, the MVP 2 goes to 11, but I leave mine around 8. If I bumped it up to 11, it would surely burn the juice. What good would 15 do?

Of course, I imagine the voltage and wattage range of the MVP might be limiting if running a dual coil configuration where the voltage may not be sufficient to heat the coils to vape the liquid (since voltage is the desire of electricity to move, if the coil resistance is too high, then a lower amperage will take place, hence lower wattage). In 2 coil configurations, are the coils wired in series or parallel? In other words, is the resulting ohm load of the coils (say 2 coils each rated 1.5 watts) 3 watts as seen by the MVP? And if its wired where the result is still 1.5 watts, what is the purpose of extra output capacity?

Inline with this question- what tanks/coil-setups are off-limits for the MVP 2 in terms of its output capacity? What ohm load do you think works best with an MVP 2? The coils on my Protank 2 read 2.5-2.7 ohms, though I got some spare coils that are 2.2 ohms (I think).

The Protank 2 and MVP 2 with a 2.7 ohm coil set to 8 watts vapes great for me, so these are really just academic questions so I know how to proceed when trying different tank/coil setups.

I didn't see if anyone else had answered your post, but one thing that is really important to keep in mind when working with multiple coil builds is to be clear about what is going on.

Two 1.5ohm coils will work out to a .75ohm build. Pretty low. With Dual coil builds you halve the resistance.

I generally like to be around 2.1ohm with the MVP. Anywhere from 1.5 - 3.5ohm would work pretty well with it though.

The MVP starts to get pretty heavily limited below around 1.5ohm. Doesn't mean it isn't still vaping. Just means the MVP is not going to give you any more power than it is limited to at that resistance.

People have talked about firing .8ohm on the MVP. I don't know about that. I've never gone below 1.24ohm. That fired at 3.3V no matter what the MVP was set to.

Here's a link to a coil calculator:

Ohm's law | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators

Good thing to keep handy.

Also:

Rebuildable Atomizer Systems

This link takes you to the ECF RBA forum. Pay particular attention to the stickies. Lots of crucial information regarding coils and coiling, batteries, and safety.

And, just to back up a bit: Yes, the high wattage devices really come into their own with multiple coil builds. The other thing is that the new chips, like the DNA and SX series, have lower current limits which allow them to sub ohm effectively.

We got our MPVs last week, and they are awesome. I have a vamo, and a VTR and a mech, and the MVP is my favorite thus far for general use.

yep, I get that and I follow ya...

just seems that you push the hot button
chamber fills with vapor
you suck it out
the intake SEEMS irrelevant, tho I know better...

Thanks and you got it! Ive done some adjustments to the old template for better fit around the buttons and vv/ww screen last night. i will make a wrap tonight with it and see how it goes before i email it to you. i do leather crafting as a hobby so i can offer you a list of tools and supplies you might need to get started. tandy is a good start but a bit pricey. springfieldleather is better in terms of leather selection and price. you can also check out goodsjapan.jp for tools.

just because, may I suggest shoe repair shop or saddle shops

I've got very nice results just gong in and asking nice about buying scraps and such
it just depends how messy it is under their workbench...


got some wanna be stuff here also, very cheap price (did what I wanted it to)
