Just built my first coil

[buckeyebob89]

so this noob decided to build his first coil and it was a success!

Having just a acquired a Phoenix v6 dual coil rda I was severely disappointed with the included coils. I watched PBusardo on youtube build his first micro coil and thought to myself "looks easy enough." And it really was!

8 or 9 wraps of 28 gauge Kanthal was close to 2 ohms, add some cotton as a wick and I was finished.

I put many drops of MBV pineapple in it until the cotton was thoroughly wet and wow! I didn't like this flavor in an EVOD, it tasted like perfume and barely smelled like pineapple. However, in the Phoenix it actually tastes and smells like pineapple. Even in my 510 atty it wasn't this good.

Looks like I just got a new hobby to spend time on!

I made my first micro coil today as well! It took all of fifteen minutes and (just like you) I found it far easier than it looks!

Thanks to the "Vaper's Toolbox" app on my phone I didn't have to guess how many wraps to do and it came out exactly what I wanted at 2.0 Ohms!

I'm no longer a micro coil building virgin! It's a whole new world....

Congrats to you both.... I tried to find that app on the App Store but I guess it isn't out for the iPhone......

Same thing for me. Should have just scrolled down the thread before getting sad at the App Store.

OP, glad you have made your first coil! It really is so much fun! (And easy as pie!) Mmmmmmm . . . now I want pie . . .

The guy who made that app is a member here, ScottP...

I think the author (programmer?) ScottP was going to try to convert it so it could be used on an Iphone. I guess he hasn't been able to do it yet...

I have the app on my Android tablet but I didn't use it for this first build, I just copied what I saw on youtube. I will put some more thought into the next one after seeing how easy it went.

It would be nice to have an iOS version of it since my iPhone is always with me. The tablet is always somewhere other than I need it to be

Congrats on the coil. They by far have such better flavor then factory ones.

Damn apple they are so late and not vaper friendly for apps. I use my ipad all the time and would like some apps.

Just downloaded the android app and Saturday I will have my Phoenix rda, soon I too will be doing my own coils too. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, all prebuilt coils are generally a joke. I'll pulse them just to get a good laugh. Welcome to the world of rba. Make sure and drop by the micro coil build thread. Lots of good info there. Once you go rba, nothing else will satisfy.
