Protank Rebuild Advice

[Taylor7617]

I've found that butchers twine works very well for cotton wick also. Depending on the diameter of your coils, you just pull away strands off of the twine. Its not as easy to feed through the coil as the Wal Mart Peaches and Cream yarn though.

You will know without doubt when the cotton is toasted, your tasters will scream at you.

As for rinsing out a head, its easiest to just toss and rewick for flavor changes. The cotton does not tend to last very long in the Kanger atty's.

NEVER attempt to dry burn with a cotton wick in the coil... It will BURN. Dry burn the naked coil.

There is an app for coil wrapping. It will guide you through what gauge wire, amount of wraps for target resistance. Check up OHMS law also.

I get my wire through eBay. Good pricing and quick shipping.

What is the app name???

Will I have a few questions here
Does the Ekowool silica is the same like silica?
also seen on ebay some mixture between cotton and bamboo have any one have experience with that type?
Which material among them is the best for wick?
Also heard about the silica health issues tho so far am using them with the clearomizes that I got
Am having two regular ego batteries, another ego twist battery and one ego battery with screen and voltage controller

Great questions and answers here!

I recently started to build mine and look forward to more responses and time to research! Subscribing!

Ok, My
I use a large (2mm diameter needle to wrap my coils using 32g kanthal wire. 5 wraps gives me 1.9-2.1 ohms. I then use a bead threading needle (Hobby Lobby) to pull cotton butcher twine through the coil. Install the coil, place 4 "strands" of twine on for flavor wicks, reassemble and check resistance (on my Vamo). If I have my wire precut and pre-torched, I can do everything in under 5 minutes.

One more tip. Leave the coil on the needle until you're ready to put the twine in. Otherwise, it's a very small "spring" and acts as such. Oops, now where did that go.

LOL. Built my first coil the other day. Like a dummy, I went straight for a microcoil, and was trying to hold the wraps together while under heat without having set up properly (crappy needlenose, bic lighter). I shot the danged thing across the room twice.

I've got 4 freshly made 9 wrap micro coils kicking right now. Wrapped them on a large (2") coated paperclip. They all read out at 1.9-2.1 ohms, and are vaping like crazy at 7.5 watts. I did this batch with regular silica.
