Ok ready to start

[tnt56]

I got all my kanthal wire (30 and 32). Mesh wire is 400/400 SS mesh. Problem now is what size to cut the mesh? I've searched and looked but can't find a good measurement for the first cut of the mesh. I'm ready to get down and juicy with this rba. It's a chobra. (Cobra clone from china. )! I got a 24"/24" sheet if mesh. Just need some ideas if the size of the sheet to start with. I already got the tools to measure with. American or Metric doesn't matter to me. Just need a with and length for the mesh. A good guess will do fine for starters b

Here's a chart that gives sizes for various rbas. Good luck! Have fun! Be patient!

Thanks. That was really fast. I like the chart. This will be my first complete rebuild and gonna start on the nova's next. Thanks again. I'm looking at getting between 1.8-2.0 ohms. That much I think I can figure out.

Hey TnT,

The real trick is getting the oxide layer on the coil. Oxidizing the coil works better with Kanthal because of the Al2O3 that forms on the surface. The peter K method works well for this. Just fire the coil a few times before putting the wick in and you should be good to go.

38mm high x 50mm wide would be a good starting point.

Great folks. Now how about some demisions for a vivi nova? I'm tired of buying all this and they don't even know what their coils are wraped at. Like I said I got the stuff and just need a little info to get started with EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
