Oh, and one of these is good enough, unless you decide you need something higher quality or more accurate, etc - it's good enough for most purposes though. Should be like $15...

So when I put the Mutation on the sigelei and click the button quickly it says "CHECK ATOMIZER" I checked out the connections and they seem good. Looks like I'm going to take a trip to the vape shop and pick up some thicker gauge coil and an ohm meter. I was going to go today, but my ecig died earlier in the day and I was craving nicotine so I just went straight home to get this out of the mailbox. It is absolutely incredible. The Kanger with 0.5Ohm OCC at 22.5w is so incredible!

I actually did clean everything with some isopropyl alcohol and then hot water and let everything dry. Thanks for looking out! I will definitely remove the wicks and do a dry burn though. Thanks for the tips!


Dry burning the coil serves a secondary purpose of insuring that both coils heat up at the same rate, and from the inside out. Sometimes you have to tweeze, pinch and poke them around a bit to accomplish this.

Thicker gauge will lower your ohms. Your build is probably too low of ohms for the mod. You will either need to use more wraps, or smaller gauge wire.
I recommend people start out building single coil builds. Once you have that down to where you can get the desired ohms, it's not hard to figure out duals......it halves your ohms, I.e. Two 1 ohm coils becomes a .5 ohm build

Yeah I read about that. Dry burning and then pinching them together makes them tighter, right? I think I'll just go with the 26 gauge and do a wrap with that. Nothing twisted or flattened or any of those shanagans. Just a plain and simple macro wrap.

It also (on a non spaced coil) creates a layer of oxidizing, which makes the coil heat more evenly
