if anyone else is having issues rebuilding the coil check out this video

i agree with teh previous post. feeding directly into the bulb may work, but if you unscrew that part too much i bet the ground wire would get disloged. feeding through the adapter is optimum imo.
28 might be too thick to fit. i havent tried it yet so i dont know. the killer video on one of the first few pages of this thread details the rebuild process. and im going to be using it myself sooner than i had thought. the killer from Exhale perfroms great. but the 1st replacement from my 5-pack from vaping Craze i opened up is not working as well as the EV one. but ive also got a random 510-510 unsealed adapter on there and not the "official" one so that might be my issue. regardless, ive got 5 "official" replacement connectors coming so we will soon see.
vaping Craze is crazy fast with their handling BTW. i ordered at 10:31AM and shipping confirmation came in at 11:26AM!
my plan is to use 28g for the coil but a finer nr wire to run the legs down. we'll see how it goes tonight
This reminds me, when using non-resistance wire for the legs, how do you attach it to the kanthal? Do you just....twist the two pieces of wire together?
There are some YouTube videos on how to join the wires by twisting them together. I had a decent technique down until I found a thread on ECF on how to build a mini arc welder and built it (so awesome).
check out the video on the third page of this thread. what you do is twist the resistance wire and the nr wire together, leaving tails at the end of the twist, splay the tails, then twist again. then you wrap the nr wire over the twist, sorta doubling back.

A little confused. I have a few of these coming in. On the Gotvapes Forum, there is a video that mentions juice flow should come from opening up the bulb. I thought juice flow comes from loosening the bulb portion from the adapter.

I have used mine in a 19mm, standard-length IBTanked, and it works fine--but the juice doesn't last very long.
The Terminator seems to REALLY pound through the juice, so you probably want to put them in larger tanks if possible.
I have a regular length Phiniac Phineer, and it won't even last a day.
The bulb in the middle of the Terminator displaces a LOT more juice than a regular carto. So if you have a "3ml" tank, with a Terminator in it, it will probably only hold 1.5-2ml. If it's a 5ml tank, with a Terminator, it probably only holds 3.5-4ml...
Commercially-produced coils with NR legs are made by electro-welding the wire together.
I don't think lead-free solder would work, because it would melt, and the joint would come apart.
Most people just twist the wires together, using a "twist, fold back on itself, twist again" method.
I use tiny (0.5mm) pure silver crimp beads. I twist the two wires together tightly for about 1/4", run the twisted part into the crimp bead, crimp the bead, then trim the excess wire from each side. No worries about twists making bad contact or getting loose, and it doesn't take much space like big bundles of doubled-back twists.
Could you post a pic? I'd love to see your modified tank with the fill hole and screw addition!
Any developments on this? I'm just about ready to order a BUNCH of them from Vaping Craze (with the correct adapters), because it's substantially cheaper than buying them with the tank from other vendors. I plan to just put these in ALL my tanks, and never buy another carto again... ;-)
But if the ones from Vaping Craze aren't as good, it might be worth it to just get my extras from Exhale for a little more money.
Has anyone else got these from VapingCraze? What's the verdict?
They seem to be cheaper from either Best Quality Electronic Cigarettes | E-cigs | E-liquid | E-juice - Exhalevapors (9.98/9.95). VapingCraze price is 12.95.
Same exact item as far as I can see (I got one from Exhale Vapors and it works great).
The one From Exhale is a single Termintor with a tank and the 510-510 extension--complete.
The one from Vaping Craze is actually 5 (FIVE) of the Terminator Attys, with no tanks and no 510-510 extensions.
For people like me who already have a fair collection of high-quality tanks, it makes a LOT more sense to buy the 5-pack and extra extensions, and not have a bunch of cheap, plastic DCT tanks laying around. Even with the extra extensions, the ones at Vaping Craze come out to around $6 each--a substantial savings, if you are buying several...
I just wondered if anyone had tried them both, and compared. I'm wondering if he ones at Vaping Craze are the same quality. One would assume the are exactly the same unit, but with Chinese gear, it's hard to tell...
I bought mine from Exhale Vapors. They only had the 3.5ml tank, but I plan to chuck it and put it in a 22mm IBTanked tube and compare it to my Killer and Divers. I wanted to try one, so I think it made sense for me. I'm not sure how many submersible repairable atomizers one can have, but if it's really good and comparable to the Greek mods, the 5-pack, plus extensions, seems like a great deal. It looks like it will arrive tomorrow (along with some other goodies).
I used to have at least six cartomizer tanks filled with different juices. I would use each with a single juice until the cartomizer died or started to taste bad, about three to five weeks. With the Killer, Diver, and presumably the Terminator, I'm finding that it's so easy to switch out flavors that I look forward to vaping a tank empty so I can try something else. I have a Diver in a 19mm standard IBTanked tube that I vape and change flavors daily (digging up samples and rarely used liquid as the juice du jour). With the Killer and the Terminator you can even close the juice control, drip with a different flavor, and then go back to the liquid in the tank later. Atomizers are awesome.
is it absolutely a must to use NR wire for the coil legs? problems if you don't? I'm guessing heat?
the little instruction manual thing even says that the jucie control is the adapter. sure you could feed through the bulb, but if you unscrew that too much, youll lose grounding.
the 5-pack from VapingCraze is the same exact atomizer as the one from exhale, minus the tank and minus the adapter. if you get 5-pack(s) from VC, get the adapters too. theyre cheaper than most unsealed adapters (especially with the 15% code on their homepage- valid til 6/8 i believe), plus they work better.
the build quality on the coil/wick wasnt as good as the exhale one but that matters not. i just wanted to comment on that becasue i was decently impressed with the build on my exhale KC.
not a must, but recommended. you lose heat and effeciency without NR. plus repeatedly heating up your juice unnecessarily could screw up its flavor etc.
