I know, like me, a lot of us have episodes of CRS, so please remember the guidelines on the front porch from the opening post.

I made one for my son's eGo's yesterday. That takes 12 tr in the base row, and you would need to tr in every tr for several rows up, because it could slip through the holes. That worked up so quick I could make them for sale, except arthur starts complaining.How cute is that!?! I could do that, I crochet and never thought of it.

Wish they had a "Really,Really Like Button"!!!!!
I sit back and take another Loooonnnggggg puff!!! 
Good morning my fellow not as fast as we use to be vapers. Kim B when I started doing diy I bought standard flavoring IE: banana, sweetener, graham crackers, apple etc. Then I would try to make my own awesome flavors. I failed miserably I have to say even after 6 months of steeping they finally achieved the class of terrible. I did some searching and found some places actually sell their flavoring pre mixed of flavors that they sell. You only have to get your pg/vg and nic level right which is easy with the e juice calculator. Here is a link to one of those sites. It is a good way to get started into diy. It's also kinda fun and puts a few dollars back in your pocket
Electronic Cigarette flavors, E cigarette flavors, and e flavoring.
You're funny. Seriously though, my neighbor, and I've heard others too, had a slight coughing problem when they started vaping. They just kept a glass of water nearby. (assuming the cough is not from dry hits) Don't know if it's the drying action in the throat or something in the flavoring, but it's good to keep hydrating anyway. It does seem to ease up after awhile. Don't let her use it as an excuse to stop vaping.

I would cough if I took a straight lung hit when I first started vaping. That's why I draw into the mouth and then inhale. It helped to prevent the cough. I think most of us had to change our style a bit when we first got off analogs. Fortunately, the cough only lasted a few months for me. I can take straight lung hits now no problem. Tell your mum to stick with it. The cough will go away in a month or two. I believe it was all the cigarette crap in my lungs causing it. Not the ecig. Like taking a steaming shower when you smoked. Always made me cough!!

I had smokers cough and still had it when I started vaping. It really slowed down after a month or so and even more as I added more vg to my vaping pleasure. I don't search for throat hit like I did 2 years ago. Today I only do 80-100% vg I still get a cough but it has dropped by easily 70%. No shower or cold blast of air cough anymore.
Dang it!! I just put the last of my Caramel Macchiato in my tank!!!! I have more on order but won't have that until Tuesday at the earliest. Guess I'll have to live off of one of the 30 other flavors I have!!
Just curious.... Why do people who rebuild use cotton, yarn, gauze, etc. instead of a piece of silica wick?
Question 2: Which gauge of wire to start with if you're going to learn rebuilding?
My coil of choice at the moment are the Kanger single coil bottom units, 2.5 ohm. I don't use a dripping atomizer, but it's been recommended to me to get an Igo-L to learn on. They're not expensive so will prob order one soon.
I have a Vamo V2 on order from Fast tech but my current setup is two MVP2s with protank mini & Evods, and other assorted clearos. This is working fine for me, but...like so many, I am wanting to expand my knowledge and my "stash" of gear....just in case.

I prefer cotton yarn because a) it's easy to get and inexpensive b) I change flavors often so use micro coils and just replace the cotton. I have found 30g to be my favorite wire guage.
I don't know if I'm a expert but I never get dry hits on mine. I guess your wick is blocking up juice channel. What set up are you using? I only use 28 or 26 kanthal with a micro coil and organic cotton ball wick. I build my coil to 1.3 to 1.7 ohms on a 5/64 drill bit. I use just enough cotton to get the cotton to the base of my kayfun build block. That is about a inch or so. Then juice it without the chimney on and press it to the build block. It kind of looks like a broom on both sides when I'm done. I would put up pictures but my camera take too high res and the pics sizes are too big for forums. I am tech challenged in this department. Give the kayfun a test fire after you install chamber tube but before chimney stack is on. Rejuice coil with a drop or 2. Reassemble kayfun or russian fill and enjoy.
One last thing is you my be filling it too high. You can't fill them to the top. They both require a little air for negitive pressure to work correctly.

As a person that has about 15 different flavors within sight of me as I type this... I feel your pain. Because we both know that NOW that is the flavor you will want the most!Dang it!! I just put the last of my Caramel Macchiato in my tank!!!! I have more on order but won't have that until Tuesday at the earliest. Guess I'll have to live off of one of the 30 other flavors I have!!
You got it!!! Good news is I still have plenty of Butter Rum!!!! Noe if that runs out.....well....you don't want to know what will happen!
IMO, look for a med. size dripper, about the size of the "L", but with holes in the posts to stick the wire into and tighten the screws down on. MUCH easier than wrapping the wire around the screw at the top of the posts, as on the "L", then when tightening the screws down, the wire always tries to "squirm" out.
Wish I had researched a bit more before I got this "L" and found that out.
As my 16yo daughter would say, "Dad... the "L" is SO yesterday!"
I rebuild kanger coils, I use 32 gauge kanthal, lets me control the ohms with the number of wraps, I use silica wick, works fine for me.
last stinkie October 15, 2013
You and I do basically the same build though I use 30 gauge and wrap on a 16 gauge needle
Yeah I think It is overfilling. Case of the video I saw said fill it until juice backwashes out of the fill hole. Guess that is not the plan. LOL
