Greetings everyone


Beginner with vape here. Been vaping for a month now with my K101 mechanical mod with a ce5 clearomizer.
A friend of mine ( his dad, actually ) receive a gift last christmas , it is a plume veil 1.5 atomizer and a orchid v4 atomizer. Neither my friend or his dad, smokes nor vape and my friend decided to give it to me instead since he knew that I'm switching over to vape from the regular cigarettes.


I intend to use them on my K101 mod running on a 2600mah 3.7v efest 18650 battery
My question now are as follows.


1. Is is possible to create a single coil build on both the Plume veil and Orchid atomizer?
( I have basic understanding of resistance since I learned how to build my ce5 atomizer and normally aims for 2.2 to 2.5 ohms ,just completely unsure though if same rules apply with the plume veil and the orchid)


2. What is the SAFE level of resistance (single coil and for dual coil) if I am to use both this atomizer with my K101 mod?


3. What is the recommended gauge of kanthal to use on these two atomizers and how many coils does it takes to get 2.4 ohms

4. If I were to create a dual coil build, do I add up the resistance of the first coil and the resistance of the second coil in order to get the total amount of resistance?
For example, If i use a multimeter on the positive and the negative of 1st coil, then do the same on the positive and negative of the second coil then add them up?
Or do you test the total resistance by the same way you test the ce5, on which you put the positive of the mutimeter on the center of the atomizer thread then the negative on the side of the thread?


5. Can I use regular cotton balls for this atomizers?


I would definitely appreciate your answers and I also apologize for my long questions, just wish to learn on how to use this atomizers since it would save me money compared to buying them.


Thank you so much guys

Hello and welcome to the forum. Glad to have you here!:)

If you are new to mech mods and rebuildables I highly recommend you spend some time with Baditude (one of our resident battery experts) and visit his blogs. You are now 100% in control of your own safety (and others around you). Make sure you purchase an ohm reader and a voltmeter or DMM so you can measure your builds, check for shorts and measure the remaining charge on your batteries.

Baditudes Blogs. The blogs regarding mods and rebuildables are listed below:

BATTERIES

9. Battery Basics for Mods: IMR or Protected ICR?
* Another essential read to understand which batteries are safe to use in mechanical and regulated mods. Includes a frequently updated list of recommended safe-chemistry, high-drain batteries with their specifications.

17. Purple Efest Batteries Not As Advertised
* A cautionary blog that reveals that the purple Efest batteries may not have the specifications advertised. Also includes a commentary on "continuous discharge ratings" vs "pulse discharge ratings" of battery specs.

OHM'S LAW

14. Ohm's Law for Dummies (Vapers)
* My attempt at explaining Ohm's Law in layman terms and how it relates to vaping.

16. Explain it to the Dumb Noob: Ohm's Law Calculations
* As simple as it is to use, some people have a tough time grasping the concept. Warning: Includes graphic photos of mod explosions.

MECHANICAL MODS & REBUILDABLES

7. Information Resources for Your First RBA
* An essential read and reference guide for someone new to rebuilding coils. Includes a multitude of useful links on battery safety, mod safety, coil meters, coil building, and the differences in the three types of RBA's.

15. Inexpensive Mechanical Mod and RDA Setup
* A response to the frequently asked question on how to get into rebuildable atomizers with a mechanical mod inexpensively. Includes a list of commonly used tools and supplies for rebuilding and where to find them.

BATTERIES - WHERE TO BUY

Only buy batteries from a reputable supplier (not ebay or Amazon) as there are many counterfeit batteries being sold. Here are several reputable battery suppliers in the US.

* RTD Vapor
* Illumination Supply
* Lighthound
* Orbtronics
