You can feel free to send either one of them my way if you decide you only need one. :D

Well here was my attempt to wrap my own coil. Ended up at 1.9 ohm rise to 2.

I think it turned out pretty good for being my first one ever.

Good looking coil, congrats

Is it normal to wrap 4-5 coils? All the tuts and vids I've seen recommend 3 to 4 coils for 1.5 to 2ohms? Does more coils = high ohm? And as far as oxidization, can you use a simple cigarette lighter? I've also seen the maker of zen say that its important to burn your coil, add juice, burn coil, add juice, until there is a sooty build up on the coil, and that makes for a better vape, yeah? That is a fantastic looking even coil though.

Howdy, I think one of the best things about those pics (and there's a lot of very nice things about that setup that others have mentioned), is the care it appears you took wrapping those coils. Evenly spaced, looks like just the right tightness. Bet it Vapes the juice very evenly for a complete burn and a wonderful flavor.

I have heard those leak like crazy bc the top of the atty takes out part of the o rings. Do you have any issues with them. They are really nice looking tanks!


Vape on!

Hi, if you overfeed the atomizer it can leak through the connector. It takes some getting used to. The problem with the top of the atty taking out part of the o-rings is easily avoided if you use a "tank filler" type tool - the kind that you place in the atomizer like a drip tip and "smoothes" the process of pushing the atomizer up through the bottom cap.

Am I the only one that actually likes an airy draw?

That's the main reason I really liked my Kanger T2s. I see everyone always complaining about that kind of draw and it doesn't make sense to me.

I hated it at first, but actually love it now. Just got the cobra today and MAN is it tight. Almost like trying to suck milkshake through a straw

Your bottom coil is IMHO going to give you muted flavor at best and burned taste/hotspots at worst.
Try to gently snug up that bottom coil (get rid of the air gap there), and pull it down (get rid of the air gap there) so it runs along the base of the top platform until it starts it climb on the wick.
Great looking first attempt though :)
