Looking into rebuildables

[Susie440]

So I am pretty new to vaping, but I've gotten to the point where I want to start rebuilding. I have seen various charts and videos about them. When wrapping coils how do you know the aprox resistance??

All materials have a resistance. Wires will typically have information on resistance per foot.

Download the vapors tool box.

and make sure you have an ohm reader to check your builds

Start here... Perfect start to answer questions, learn safety, adn get the questions you have now answered, all in one place.

first thing you should get is a multimeter/resistance checker or a mod that does so like a vamo, svd, or evic. Alot of people will tell you not to trust a cheap multimeter, but I use this one from amazonINNOVA 3300 Hands-free Digital Multimeter (10 MegOhm) : Amazon.com : Automotive and its only .2 ohms off. Never use a rebuilt coil that hasn't been tested first. It's bad news bears. What's your current setup?

 

[Keeferes]

.2 ohms being off is a great deal when you start making sub ohm builds. Just my

Greetings Susie, welcome to the forum. I've attached a chart and a resistance calculator showing predicted oHms for given lengths of Kanthol (various gauges).

If you're fairly new to vaping, do you know about battery safety and about being sure to test coil resistance before firing? There are some really good resources on ECF about these topics.

true, but it seems as accurate as those little black box ohm testers they sell at the local B&M's. Though, I tend to keep my coils at .8

 

[suspectK]

Is it +/-0.2ohms? Or are you not measuring the leads before measuring your coils?

.2 is me doin okay at .6 or me about to get a tan at .4. Not to burst your bubble but you just made your point as to why ppl say don't use cheap meters. The .2 , ay not matter unless you chain vape. I do and chain vaping at really low ohms is not good with some batteries.
