Pre-Made Coils

[Stewart Jarvis-Grove]

Has anyone tried using pre-made coils like the ones in the link below:

Fused Clapton 0.25Ω (10 coils)

I'm thinking of trying them in a smok Cloud Beast but i'n not sure they will fit or work. The coils are a tad expensive for the beast so it's probably best i start using the rebuildable deck

Well, they should fit in any RDA and .49p per coil isn't that bad, considering how long they should last for you. If you aren't into building your own coils, they should be fine. I did use some pre-made coils once, someone gave them to me to try, and while they were fine.....I could do just as good a job twisting them up and figured this would only save me 5 or 10 minutes at best.

Thank you, these will give me a chance to get the wicking sorted. Then i can move onto coil building. Plus i'm lazy

Hint: The wicking is the hard part! You'll find the rest is pretty easy.

Wicking is just as much of an art as winding coils.

In my opinion, winding coils is mechanics, Wicking is an art form!

I've had a bit of experience already. I made a couple of simple coils when i was using a subtank mini but i couldn't get it wicking right and it leaked badly so i gave up. I've since read up on the leaking issue so that shouldn't be a problem now but i'm not using my subtank mini and haven't for a while. The cotton i was using wasn't very good i think so i'll get some good stuff this time.

I'm not sure i will be able to knock up a fused clapton very quickly so thought i'd have a look to see if anyone else is making them and selling them and yep there is.

Not sure what type of Cotton you were using?

But IMO, I think Pad Cotton like Muji is about the Easiest to work with. Because you can control how much Cotton is in the Wick by how wide of a strip you cut.

Something that is Harder to do when using Bulk Cotton.

And once you find a width that works well for a given Atomizer/Coil, it is very Easy to cut the Same Sized strip the next time.

It was a bag of generic cotton a local vape shop sold me which wasn't in strips. I'm looking at getting a bag of Cotton Bacon V2 to try which looks like it comes in strips

I would Definitely try some Pad Cotton. Bulk Cotton can kinda be a PITA when you are New to Wicking.

I'm Not a huge fan of Cotton Bacon. But I know that many people like it.

That's what I use.

You can find it Many places like Amazon.UK or at e-Cigarette Retailers.

It is Dirt Cheap. And a Bag of 180 Pads will last you a LONG Time.

Brilliant, thank you zoiD

Hey no problem Stewart.

When stuff like 3 Years worth of Cotton Pads cost about what a Pack of Smokes cost, I say just buy it and Try it.

I've switched to rayon and haven't looked back. It's easy, cheap and works great.

 

[Stewart Jarvis-Grove]

Interesting, i've just had a good read through a massive rayon wicking thread and it reads like the way forward. So something like this? Rayon Cellucotton for RTA and RDA Wicks
