You don't have everything yet, Buges... you still need knowledge and experience.
What do you know about Ohm's Law, Battery Safety. You have a battery, but which one? I assume that you have wire... what kind and what gauge? Do you have an ohm meter? You will definitely NEED that...
Click on the link in my signature titled "Bad's Awesome Blog" it has sections for pretty much everything you need to know... just be sure to read through all of it before you start building, okay?
I hope you still have them. I'm not familiar with the hardware you have, but the wick and wire part suggests to me that you are asking how to start rebuilding. If you're dying for a smoke, you need to have something to vape while you learn about rebuildables. Trust me, no matter how advanced a vaper someone is, trying to wrap a coil while having a nicotine fit isn't the best approach.
Please forgive me if I misunderstood your post.
Ok kaezziel but I do have Kanthal Wire and my Battery is AW IMR 3.7v 2200mah (8.1wh). I have no knowledge with battery safety witch I am worried about most. Thanks alot kaezziel I will check the link!
No I your right Ocelot I will go and buy myself an ego Thanks. To late to send this back but Oh Well everyone ....s up!
I have wrapped my coils. when i put everything together the coins just start burning and I don't no how to switch it off. I have to take the battery out quick
There is a lot of reading available and it is wise for safety and it will make your experience much better. Also, there are many YouTube videos that go step by step through rebuilding.
Good luck!
Good luck!
and the neptune is a mechanical mod
what gauge kanthal do you have.
if you use 32 or 30 gauge kanthal you should be able to run your rda on your ego battery.
You probably stood the mech mod standing up activateing the bottom switch fire button; that would cause your coils to activate.
If you did something like that you definitely should not attempt to use your mech mod because you don't know what is going on.

Hi Buggs!
Good thing you were able to get the battery out of your mod before it vented (or worse).
As others have said there is a lot you need to learn BEFORE you start using a rebuildable atomizer and a mechanical mod. I highly recommend you spend some time with Baditude (one of our resident battery experts) and visit his blogs. You are now 100% in control of your own safety (and others around you). Make sure you purchase an ohm reader and a voltmeter or DMM so you can measure your builds, check for shorts and measure the remaining charge on your batteries.
Baditudes Blogs. The blogs regarding mods and rebuildables are listed below:
BATTERIES
9. Battery Basics for Mods: IMR or Protected ICR?
* Another essential read to understand which batteries are safe to use in mechanical and regulated mods. Includes a frequently updated list of recommended safe-chemistry, high-drain batteries with their specifications.
17. Purple Efest Batteries Not As Advertised
* A cautionary blog that reveals that the purple Efest batteries may not have the specifications advertised. Also includes a commentary on "continuous discharge ratings" vs "pulse discharge ratings" of battery specs.
OHM'S LAW
14. Ohm's Law for Dummies (Vapers)
* My attempt at explaining Ohm's Law in layman terms and how it relates to vaping.
16. Explain it to the Dumb Noob: Ohm's Law Calculations
* As simple as it is to use, some people have a tough time grasping the concept. Warning: Includes graphic photos of mod explosions.
MECHANICAL MODS & REBUILDABLES
7. Information Resources for Your First RBA
* An essential read and reference guide for someone new to rebuilding coils. Includes a multitude of useful links on battery safety, mod safety, coil meters, coil building, and the differences in the three types of RBA's.
15. Inexpensive Mechanical Mod and RDA Setup
* A response to the frequently asked question on how to get into rebuildable atomizers with a mechanical mod inexpensively. Includes a list of commonly used tools and supplies for rebuilding and where to find them.

Hmmm... the part about not being able to turn it off worries me... the Nebula is a tube mod with the button on the bottom, correct? When you let go of the button, it doesn't turn off?
We're not saying that you need to send it back, mate... just get something that you can use while you learn how to work with what you have. You say you built the coils, but what is the resistance of them? (This is why you need an ohm meter/reader). Also, what gauge is your Kanthal? How many wraps did you make? What did you wrap it around (how big are the loops)?
We can teach you how to use your new mod, but it is going to take some time for you to fully understand it and to be able to use it safely... that's why Occy's suggestion is such a good one. You can get your nic fix and then mess with the rebuilding... instead of rushing through a build because you need the nic.

cigreen triangle is an rda:
That doesn't look fun for a first RBA. Perhaps the OP might consider a Kayfun/Russian. It's easy to learn to build and will help increase confidence.

No joke!! Please tell me you didn't build it with the triple coils... You need to start out with just a single coil (which can be done with that RDA).
I agree with Occy on the Kayfun/Russian... or even a Magma if you want an RDA.
If you need an ohm reader, I highly recommend this one: USA Made 510 Reader
It has been verified to be quite accurate. I'm not sure about cost of shipping it to Liverpool, but it is hands down better than most of the 510 threaded ohm readers out there...

What battery do you have? Make and model.
If you continue to use a Triple coil on a mech with less than the best batteries, you could find yourself in trouble. Trouble of the hospital variety.
