Just started rebuilding my own coils. They work!!

[treetrimmerguy1977]

I had today off and have been feeling kinda blah. A little sick, so I've done nothing today but research what kind of mod I wanna buy. I almost jumped into a provari. They are very nice, but decided to look around. Then I about bought a lavatube v 2. All they had was pink. Kept checking, and found out my favorite for the price is the Vamo. It's only $59 by itself!! It's both variable volt, and variable watt. Just bought it and can't wait till it gets here!! That's a big step compared to the ego twist I have and I'm pretty happy. Now I'm gonna go look for that rba I was looking at earlier. The IGO-L and will probably buy it too.

. I'm like "I made this!" hahahaha

YEAH 4 u! I feel ya - I just started rebuilding heads too. Congrats on taking the next step. It looks like a looooong flight of stairs - I wonder how long till everyone starts building their own batteries, or are they already ???

Yeah rebuilding isn't that hard. It can be a little intimidating. Like building a PC. After you done it once, you see it's not that bad.

yep ive been doing 5/4 wraps with no ohm meter but i can tell with a standard 3.7v battery its right around 1.7-2 ohms... im loving it and im becoming a pro fast

I have just begun rebuilding my coils for my smoketech aro (same coils as the protank, slightly smaller base) and prior to making my own these worked great on my two vv ego type batteries. I watched a ton of youtube video's on rebuilding the protank attys and decided to try my own hand. I bought some A1 32 gauge kanthal wire and 2 mm silica wick I wrap 6 times and make sure they don't touch and this is what they look like:
They take a long time to start to glow, and I have to use my battery at the highest setting to get any vapor. The flavor is either muted or burned and vapor is either very little to moderate (where before I had clouds) Could anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong??? Please help - these are all I have now!

Thanks So much for all of the info. I have the wire, the cotton, and even some Kanthal wire. But I just can't seem to figure the whole process our. I guess I'm a bit slow. lol.

I build kpt single coils. 30 ga 7/6 wrap for 1.6-8 ish coils. On a 1/16 drill bit. Compressed but not micro coils.
