kanger evod 1 rebuild

[Justin Gibson]

Ok so ive been watching rebuilding vids for a week or so so i decided to try on my inexpensive evod. So i uses 28 gauge kanthall and organic cotton did 6 wraps on 1/16 drill bit and got 0.8 ohms so my question is is that too low should i use thinner wire it hits good just the taste is not AS good as a stock build. Im just curious what anyone else would like the ohms to be and how to get the ohms you want? Thanks in advance for the responses. And by the way im new to all of this and i used cotton because i read something about glass being inn the silica wick? Is that true? And by the way im using mvp 2.0 on 7.0 watts if i go higher the taste just gets worse.

1:
Use 30 gauge in those small coil heads;

If you use thick gauge like 28 you are more likely to end up getting shorting out on the sides or spire on top.
It can be done of course, but you have other hurdles to pass the learning curve.

2:
Don't twist or compress the cotton much. You want the wick to be soft and fuzzy like a soft sponge, not a piece of cloth;

Evod coils are fun to rebuild, but make sure you know what ohm the coils you rebuild are. Watch out for shorts and don't dry burn with regular kanthal

32 or 30 AWG Kanthal is a way to go here. 0.8 Ohms on an Evod is a bad idea. I'd shoot for 1.8 minimum. For me cotton us easier for wicking, since the wick can be easier adjusted to the coil. I'very not mastered wrapping around silica; PBusardo makes it looks easy, but apparently not for me.

I use 32ga...5 wraps on 1/16" to get 1.8-2.0 ohms. I prefer 32ga because it heats up faster than 28-30ga. I like mine around 1.8 ohms and I want it to heat right away.

I use 32/34 gauge kanthal wire and anywhere from 4-10 wraps depending on what I'm trying to build (Evod/Protank single coil), Vivi nova single coil. Just experiment with different wrapping techniques, try wrapping more and less wraps on different size items like micro screwdrivers, safety pins, etc until you find what you like! Practise makes perfect and there's no "exact" way to making a coil. Most people make coils based on their personal preference. My favourite for a Evod/ Protank is 32 gauge kanthal with. 6-8 wraps around a safety pin. I've done as much as 10 wraps with 34 gauge.

Also, it pays to get a device like a ProVari or eVic that tells you approximately where your ohms are before you even fire the device. I purchased an ohm meter from www.happyvaper.com for around $25. Saves lots of time. You probably want your ohms anywhere from 1.5-2.0. Good luck and happy vaping!

Nice man very nice

Stock coils can last for a month easily, no need to rebuild them. Only change the wick once in a while.

Your resistance seems to be way off for the number of wraps. What are you using to measure? Check out this coil building calculator.

.8 ohm shouldn't fire on a MVP 2. The lowest ohms that a MVP 2 can manage is 1.2 ohms.

Be careful, don't go lower than 1.5ohms with the coil for the evod, because you can melt the insulator and you will get a bad taste
