Ok my moronic question of the day. How does one take this apart for cleaning?

Yea the coil yesterday the coil popped at the top. Todays coil is a 5/6 wrap(2.5 ohms) at 4.5v and its hitting like a truck. Vapor production is still a bit light, but its a new wick hopefully it will improve as it breaks in.

I'm getting plumes of vapor. I'm at 1.5ohm and 3.7v. It does take breaking on but.....
do you hear gurgling?

 

[POSEIDON]

Nope no gurgles, lots of popping and hissing though.

1. Top cap off
2. Take apart top section (pos post)
3. CAREFULLY grip the glass and slide it up. The body is obviously one piece, but the glass slides up. Yes, I know. It's tight. But it will. CAREFULLY!

Was wondering if you're flooding.

If I were to want a 1.5 ohm coil how many wraps of 32g should I be shooting for? Mine when I wrap em are coming up in the 2.5+ range with a 4/5 or a 5/6 wrap.

What I'd do is if you're still in the tinkering mood, take one coil out at a time and measure the resistance. I guess you'd have a 3/2 with 32g. I personally use 30g and use a 5/6 usually.

Yea I got 100 feet of 30g commming but I want it to work like I see all the time on youtube now . Although I am happy that I figured out what was causing my hot spot issue, and by that I mean you were kind enough to tell me what it was.

Stop putting yourself down posei, contrary to the old saying there is such a thing as a stupid question, but I havent seen you ask one yet =P

I probably will drop down 2 coils from whats on there now once I get home. Until I get it figured out(ie get it to work good) it will be an at home toy. That popped coil yesterday at work sucked hardcore no nic for the last half of the day was rough.

Unscrew both halves of the top nuts (ducking from tmcase). That will reveal the post. (Ducking again). Then push the post out the bottom hole (forget ducking)

FYI coop for #500 mesh in classies right now, just ordered 3 sheets for about $10

 

[POSEIDON]

I have 4 coming from themeshcompany.com

 

[yankeebobo]

Wow. That's a price and a half. I spent about $70 for 3 A4 sheets. But I'm set for god knows how long now. Damn China. That is my one hang up. Everything is china.

Ya it's definitely going to get a good cleaning before I twist a wick with it lol

There's a sheet from the mesh company on the classies right now.

That is my ONLY hang up. A good boil should help that. Then your oxy

 

[POSEIDON]

Ok I dropped to a 3/4 coil(1.3ohms!!!!) at 3.7v this thing is hitting like a fleet of trucks AND my vapor is up.

You guys were busy while I was "resting"

I don't have much to offer this evening as I am waiting until after new years to setup my Cobra, but I did want to pop in and say I hope everyone had a nice Christmas. Our Christmas was very nice, but with two kids still in the house I am exhausted!!! 2 more radiation treatments to go and then I am holding my breath for New Years when I can start off the new year with a clean slate!!!!!!!!!!
