I was on my last 1.8ohm replaceable coil and it finally started to go bad. I had another tank thing with long wicks so I took them apart and used the wick and wire to redo my kanger coil. Everything worked well, stretched out the old new coil and used 2 pieces of wick and wrapped it around them. I put everything back like it was and put the little rubber thing back in making sure one wire was touching and the other was inside with the center post. Its good for now but can I keep doing this? Are these little coils really build able as long as they work? It seems to me that they are a little small but I know I could keep it up. I need to figure out where to get the wire in a roll and cotton.

Just wondering if I should get something a little more big or if this works should I keep it going? I Have 2 Vision spinners and dont have anything bigger to push a big rebuild able coil.

There are people who rebuild Aspire nautilus coils all the time. Check out Myfreedomsmokes or really any other supporting vendor here for wire and cotton. You do have to make sure you are building correctly and safely though. Check out some you tube videos on building and you will get the idea. No need to blow your face off to save a buck or two. You sound like I did, just before all the new gear! lol

You can rebuild them forever, in theory. Great work on rebuilding those coils, you have a lot more patience than I do.

It would be worth your while to move up to a small box mod with an easy going tank, like a kanger subtank or the previously mentioned aspire nautilus. Those coil heads are super easy to rebuild, and the subtank mini also comes with an rba coil to make your life even easier. You can also get a 100 foot roll of kanthal for around $5, and a ton of cotton for about the same. If you were to do a small box mod like an Istick 40w or kanger kbox, a subtank and the wire/wick, you'd be looking at a $60 price tag that gives you a ton of vape for your buck. It'd also be a great investment in your vaping future. :thumbs:
