New member from Jacksonville,Fl. HELP ME!!!!!

[Darqdaughter]

Hi Everyone! I have been vaping off and on for over two years now and let a friend talk me into buying a mod. I was using an E-go up until I bought the beast.
I loved it for the first two weeks and then the wick and coil went out on it which i figured was no big deal since its one of those fancy rebuild-able deals. Riiiiiiight. So long story short is here i am six months later and I have rebuilt the coil but it overheats my atomizer (ehpro) and spits hot e liquid all over my hands..and then scorches my wick due to the lack of e liquid...and then I have to begin again. I haven't been able to successfully use my mod since two weeks after I bought it. Anyone have this issue also?Anyone know what I am doing incorrectly? Thanks in advance

Welcome to the ECF boards.

Honestly, there is sooooo much to cover with regard to coil building, proper battery selection and maintenance, ohm's law, the proper use of a multimeter, etc.

I highly suggest that you approach your friend, whom recommended this mod to you, to guide you through all that is required.

Ditto. Or take it to B&M that can do a build for you. Some of them even have classes. I would just check around in your area.

Hi,

I would suggest you rebuild the coil to 1.5 ohms or above to get into the swing of things. Sounds like you are way down into the sub-ohm category here.

Do you have a meter to measure coil resistance?

Have you measured the coil you currently have installed?

If the answer is no to both of those questions then you should stop playing with fire (figuratively) until you can answer yes to those questions or you really may be playing with fire (literally!)

I'd have to ask a ton of questions too, but we can get you where you need to be...
Do you know the resistance of your rebuilt coils?
Do you know which batteries you are using?
What kind of wire are you using to build the coils?
What are you using for wicking material?

Rebuildables are a hobby for a number of vapers, but not for everybody - don't let yourself get discouraged! You may or may not find it interesting after you get the basics down, or you may choose to stick with one of the replaceable head varieties instead of winding coils. It's up to you, but keeping vaping easy for your style is all that matters!

I think you might want to learn how to rebuild, no matter whether you choose to do that day to day, or stick to mainstream styles. That skill could come in handy in the future should availability be limited. Good luck!

I was just in Jax last weekend there was a shop I stopped into. The old guy there "the rest in there were like 21". He knew his stuff. It was Vaporleaf 1010 Park Street
Jacksonville, Florida 32204 (904) 372-3244 He might be able to help you out.

Hello Darq - Check out Vapemasters on Beach Blvd, they are really nice guys and I'm sure will help. Its a pretty small shop but I know if I buy any RBA/RDA they do a free setup.

Lots of people from Jax on these boards.

Hard to provide advice based on the information provided. Best I can suggest is to figure out specifically what atomizer you have there and do a search on Youtube that goes "Name of Atomizer" Rebuild Tutorial. Rebuildables vary greatly and some are trickier than others.
