My first time

[Mikelzinga]

So I decided to adventure into the world of rebuilding. Grabbed an IGO-W and some 30g kanthal. So far I'm just using the silica wick that came with the IGO-W and dripping some of my left over redbull juice. I did 8 wraps and it came out to 1.9ohm which is decent for my first coil I think. Works well on my MVP v2, I just need to get these stock air holes drilled out


I don't want to go for a dual coil build until I get some more airflow through the device. The draw is so tight at stock...

I'm curious, how do I upload pictures without the "e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=312966&d=1394219326" id="attachment312966" rel="Lightbox_12457251" >" nonsense?

I mean on my end, it says that stuff in the post.

Very nice first coil. Very nice coil period. Well done.

Thanks! I've spent much time watching RiP Trippers on youtube building coils so I've been excited to try it! Can't wait to get into the crazier builds

Nice first build! That's about as easy as it gets, and what I use daily (on a Kayfun). Personally I really don't care for dual coils. They taste the same to me, and run down the battery faster.

I will keep this in mind. Thanks for the info

I agree; Nice first coil! The only thing I could recommend is to raise the coil off the deck a little higher. It will perform a little better this way. It will also help guarantee that you coil is not sitting in the juice puddle. When the coil sits in the pool of juice, it tends to boil the juice and not fully vaporize it. Just a tip

Thanks for the tip!

I got a cotton wick put in. Loving this Alien Visions Watermelon Overload, I put a drip or 2 of Thug Juice in every once in a while to get a little blast of menthol too Also very pleased with my decision to get the Grand Vapor Armada drip tip, it's beautiful.

Funny how much difference a sweet lookin drip tip makes lol.

A fine looking coil, indeed. Particularly for a first go at it. Good decision on re-wicking with cotton....it's better. You might try experimenting with getting the coil closer to the air hole. The flavor will noticeably improve.

Digging that drip tip.

Yeah I really need to get the air holes drilled out. These stock ones are just way too tight. I definitely notice that this 90%vg juice really gets the coil gunky quick. Especially with the tight air draw. Yes, this drip tip is superb!
