Good for you!! I think DIY needs to be my next move. Since getting my new Provari and Protank2 I am vaping more juice. I will be going through 50ml. bottles weekly at this rate....gotta change something up, but I've been holding back because I haven't been sure I can do it right. If I can rebuilt heads I can probably do DIY though, right??

If you can rebuild heads, the rest is a piece of cake! :D

I rebuilt a Protank head for the first time today. Either it was ridiculously easy or I got very lucky on my first try. I'm vaping on it right now.

I rebuilt my first Evod coil the other day using cotton instead of silica, I put off trying it for a few days as I started to worry about not putting enough in and though I might flood the take, well I had not choice as the one in it was so clogged, I tried it, let it sit for a few minutes and tentatively tried it and boy I was happy with the result and the taste is so much better then silica. I got tired of fighting with the silica because all I had was 3mm and it was just too hard to try and get into the coil and I hate wrapping on the wick itself! lol I got lucky myself I believe! :ohmy:

what do ya'll use to rebuild?
Cotton?
i read in another Thread someone was talking about rotisserie string...some say yarn...and still others say cotton balls.

I thought I might try the rotisserie string. I have a bolt of it.
I would boil it first and separate into double strands or something....
heck, I don't know! lol

I use 2mm silica at the moment but I'm thinking about giving organic cotton balls a go on my next rebuild.

I use sterile cotton balls from the first aid aisle of the drug store...just a few dollars for a lifetime supply. It only takes a small amount rolled into a tiny "snake" like when you were a kid in school to thread through the coil. Cotton offers great flavor, IMO. I only use cotton in drippers now, and often use it to rebuild clearo heads.

I use 100% pure cotton balls and just pull a strand off to put through the coil.

uh oh. am I gonna need to order an adapter....I have the vamo-2 coming and I use mostly all T3 and EVODS !!!! I thought I read it was NOT a problem with the Vamo-2 only the # 1.... now I'm confused

The Vamo 1 & early 2s were not evod friendly. Any new Vamo you get now will work with them.

does the 236ml juice come in a bottle with a squirt nozzle? I just put in a order for my favorite flavor at this huge size since the price is a smoking deal but now I'm wondering how i'm going to transfer it to my 30ml bottles? I don't have a funnel that is that small nor have I seen one in stores.

got it in the classifieds....SS vamo 2.... nice buy so I hope it will be ok....thanks for the replies.
it is advisable to get a 510 to EGO adapter to make sure or as they say save the threads ?

Do you have rugs or hardwood floors?

Really though, if you're careful with it it won't be an issue.
Thread carefully, don't drop it, don't hit people over the head with it too hard...

I haven't had a problem with the threads and actually made the threads on the used one I got somewhat better.

If you get an adapter and don't crank it in too far you'll have zero problems with the ego threads.
Adapters don't use them, they use the 510 threads.
If you don't use an adapter and you screw up your ego threads you can still get an adapter to use the 510 threads.
