Well I really don't get this whole building crap, I have attempted to rebuild 3 coils now and every single one of them was like .4 Ohm and I did 10 wraps of 30 Guage kanthal and I made sure the sides were not touching and it's just crap. I'm using a cuetip as my diameter instead of what I was using because I think it was much smaller then it was supposed to

i use a sewing needle, that is much smaller than a q-tip. what are you wicking with?

There is a short there somewhere. 10 wraps at 30 gauge should have a higher resistance. It does take a bit of practice. I had to rebuild my first coil 3 times and fiddle with it as mine was shorting too. I found that I had not clipped the wires short enough at the bottom of the head where one wire runs inside the white grommet and the other runs to the outside. I left one of the wires a bit long and that's what was causing my short.

Question.....I always order 50/50 and it's always been syrupy as far as viscousness. Then I recently received a 50ml. bottle of Rainbow Sherbert and it's runny as can be. Anyone else notice a difference in the 50/50 blends? The taste is fine....great in fact. :confused:

I don't have a 50/50 in that, I do have a 65/35 and it does seem thinner then usual but it taste great! Odd... :blink:

instead of clipping those wires, try twisting them until they snap.

Yeah, it made me wonder if they changed their PG and VG bases. Oh well....it tastes like a dream so that's the important thing. I love this stuff!!

Yeah, I love this stuff, it's 1 of my top 5 now. I just still bummed about the Red Apple though, after hating it when I first got it and tried it a month later it was another of my top 5.

I'm a non clipper myself. I have a Gerber Clutch (mini needlenose) in my desk. After I snug down the screws I just use the Clutch to grab the end of the excess & wiggle it back n forth until it breaks off which is right at the screw. No tails to worry about. 10 wraps of 30 should be much higher. 6 wraps of 32 puts me above 2 ohms. I coil on a 5/64 drill bit.

Since we are posting coil builds in the MBV thread :p

28 gauge on cotton in a AGA-T2 filled with my DYI Purple Drank Juice :vapor: When it is empty I will wash, rewick and fill with THUG JUICE!!!

That is not a huge atomizer, that is a small SnapOn Tools jewelery box that I keep ego stuff/kanger/ drip tip etc parts in.

I have a genesis style RDA, and have tried about 10 times since getting it to set it up. Every time meets with failure. Usually a hot leg at the top that I can't work out, other times not really sure where it went wrong. In any case I have kinda given up on using a genny.
