Official ProVari Radius Thread - Part 2

[rbrylawski]

I'd just want to see if it could be done. I've rebuilt a lot of coil heads that weren't intended to be rebuilt including T2's, CE3's, Novas, Protanks, etc...

I know it can be done. Even watched a video on how to do it. Ended the video with a Not Gonna Happen by me alarm going off in my head.

I look at this'a way. I spent on average $45/week (or more) on smokes. That's about a years worth of coils. I can more than justify the coil expense.

 

[Bronze]

I've done it...though the results aren't worth the effort IMO

I'm sure they're not.

 

[BreSha6869]

I'm not sure it would be worth rebuilding a stock nautilus coil

+1

Not worth my (or most of our) time. If a Nautilus coil is $2-ish, the only reason I can think of that makes rebuilding them make any sense is if they were suddenly illegal or discontinued. No other reason IMO.

I like building my RDA/RBA coils every once in a while, but unless prebuilt Aspire coils disappear completely (doubtful as Nautilus coils can be found in huge quantities EVERYWHERE), why bother?

YMMV...

Guys, it would not be worth it. I would only do it to see if it could be done. Understand?

you mean to see if you could do it....we already know it CAN be done

Here 'ya go. Click this link and knock yourself out watching vids on how to rebuild one:

You know that. I don't. I never owned a Kabuki or Nautilus.

Nah. I want to see if I could build one.

 

[rbrylawski]

Nah. I want to see if I could build one.

You prolly could. You're a coil master!

 

[ENAUD]

I'd just want to see if it could be done. I've rebuilt a lot of coil heads that weren't intended to be rebuilt including T2's, CE3's, Novas, Protanks, etc...

I regularly have rebuilt the Kanger PT2 genre coils since I was using the T3's with the threaded base. I have tried and met with only dismal results re-building the Nautilus coils. The upside is that they do give me about a weeks run time for a 2$ coil. I chalk it up to the cost of convenience. Cleaning them might get me one or two more tank fills of vaping, not really worth the time in the end for me.

I've rebuilt Protanks. For me, it was like watching grass grow.

That's the thing. I have re-built the Kanger coils because I can build them better than the stock one's. Heck, I even use the stock one's till they pop, but re-wick them with cotton and tune them up by making the spacing even and centered before ever using them. I'm sure there might be folks who can re-build them BVC coils and maybe match or perhaps even better a factory build. But it isn't as easy a task as a horizontal center wicked coil.

Way back there was a thread with a guy building a BVC coil into a Kanger PT2 head. This was before any BVC coils were on the market. I just looked at the pics and said, yeah....no! I was amazed at the talent, but lack the skills/ patience that is required for that.

I rebuilt an Atlantis coil. once

actually, doing a BVC in a kanger pt2 head isn't as difficult as you would think

 

[Mike Geaney]

About to pull the trigger on a Radius. Back or white is the only question. Never had a white rig.

 

[raqball]

You'll love it! I got black and it's snazzy looking

I might re-visit the idea, my building has improved since back then.

 

[access0denied]

So regarding this Kabuki tank. Any word if it's possible to change the color of the orings/color of the glass tank/bigger tank sections.

 

[Topwater Elvis]

Color of o rings or glass, yes.
Bigger / larger tank capacity, no.
