Coil? Wicks? The idea of rebuilding thrills me about as much as rewiring a toaster - but to each his own.
hahahahahahahaha
Please help me put together a kit! Please! :)

Building your own coils is for advanced users. I highly do not recommend it until you know what you are doing. You could blow a mod or something. You need a meter and its not as easy as just watching a video. There are alot of things to consider before you plop an unsafe homemade coil on an ego battery type device.
You should take it slow and easy. Get replaceable heads and get used to understanding ohms, watts and voltage
Oh don't be sorry, I really appreciate it. Sometimes, friends have to slow my behind down. I get excited and run all out. LOL I'm taking heed to the warnings and making a list, but prioritizing it so I don't do to much to fast. Starting with what I need to get, so not to go into a panic if one or two of my batteries or tanks go bad, such as a spinner kit, including replacement heads for both the spinner kit and my current set up, cleaners, etc. Next would probably be coil, wick, hunting thru my fathers garage for pliers, etc. lol Then I'll start adding to with various mods. Something in that fashion, so as not to do to much, but making a list so I don't forget all the pieces and parts that I will need.
When you get you list together, and care to share, we'll be happy to over it with you.
Thanks, that would be awesome!!! Ugh, I'm so happy recoiling got brought up......coils and wick scratched off.
Crud, thank you. Probably saved me from sparking myself. LOL The video looked so easy, and didn't see anything about needing a meter or the dangers of it. Thank you BOTH for catching that one.
An easy way for noobs to remember what ohm cart/clearo to get for whatever voltage is this...multiply the ohms times 2 for the voltage. For example, a 2 ohm cart/clearo will do good at 4v, a 2.5 ohm cart/clearo will do good at 5v. It's definitely not an exact science and all are different but that's a ballpark easy way of figuring it out without a chart I'm sorry if I maybe said this in the thread before. I'm not sure. I tend to get the threads mixed up in here and know I said it recently somewhere in here. Lol. Oh, and dual coil carts are a bit different to figure out but I prefer single coil in those anyways by far.

He didn't need a meter because if I remember correctly, he used a Provari which can read the ohms and has a ton of built in safety features. I seriously wouldn't use an ego or spinner for my coils and only use my Provari or something similar, just in case.
He also probably bought pre-oxidized wire. Lol. Just saying, it isn't hard but there's more to it than the video shows sometimes.

No apologizes necessary, even if you did re-say it. You help so many of us out and I'm so grateful. I'd still be sitting at my computer, totally dumb founded, frustrated and probably ended up sparking myself, if not for all of you. And yes, thank you, actually even if its not exact science, your description makes more sense then the OHM Law did. OMG! I thought I'd have to go back to college, in order, to Vape!
Now that you said it, your right, he did use a Provari or something similar to. Being new, all I saw was the ViVi Nova Tank and never once considered the battery source.
meh not like being a noobie......but we have start somewhere. Voltage and wattage are often misunderstood by new vapers. It's all about the wattage (heat, power) that your PV generates. Wattage = Voltage (of your battery) squared divided be the Resistance (Ω) of your atomizer. If you're not good at math, don't worry, use this easy calculator:
Online Conversion - Ohm's Law Calculator
The Wattage you want, especially at the beginning of your vaping career, should be somewhere between 4.5 and 8.5 Watts. Anything lower than 4.5 may not vaporize your juice properly and will not produce enough warmth and vapor. Anything above 8.5 W increases the risk of burning the filler in your cartos (if you're using them) and even some juices, especially the delicate ones.
Generally speaking, tobaccos and coffees require more wattage (heat), while fruit and other delicate flavors do better with less heat.
Experiment and you'll find you own sweet spot in no time!

Yea, pretty sure it was a Provari. I don't have a meter because I use a Provari. Some do use ego batts for their coils though. I tend to be real careful what batt I'm putting to my face.
Don't get me wrong though, cause egos have safety features too. The bottom end would blow out away from your face, but do I really wanna see that? Lol.
First time I've seen that calculator. Wow! Very nice! That will help alot in my learning efforts. Thanky!! Thanky!! This thread is going to be my life saver.
hahaha Well, as long as, I can still vape. LOL Joke! But I'd still laugh at myself, unless I got really hurt.
Great info, Katya! I stink at specifics, and math also. I just try to find easy ways. Lol. Honestly the hardest part for me was finding my all day Vape flavor that I truly loved. That can take a lot of trying and dumping of flavors. Try to be patient. Everyone loves different stuff. Some juices get a ton of hype and you get it and hate it.
As you can tell from my signature below, I do Vape meets. I have a bag of juices for our meets and tons of juices for noobs, and I still love my main DIY vanilla cream. Lol. But at first for several months almost a year I was on a massive hunt and didn't like hardly any flavors. It was hard for me.
Patience is a virtue with flavors. Plus, I've got to go thru all the withdraws which means my tastes are going to keep changing as well. At the moment, I've been leading more towards the menthol flavors, but I believe that's probably because I can't taste anything yet, and menthol is strong enough for me to taste half of the flavor. LOL Eating food should be interesting after awhile. I'm not really into eating, I kinda have to remember to eat.....once my taste buds come back, I'll probably want to sample everything. Well, at least thats what I'm hoping anyways. ROFL
