pt2 mini-first attempt at coils

[rhm3769]

Omg....

Got some 30g kanthal and 2 mm silica wick....
Did a decent wrap on a 1/16 bit, couldn't get the wick in.... unwrapped and moved to a 5/64, did 7 wraps I think it was, installed it and wicked with a flavor wick as well.... assembled the head, tested it, 2.5 ohms....

Hits like my aspire ets dual coil heads, even at 3.2 v.... flavor is muted compared to the aspire, though....

Try taking a piece if the silica wick bout 2 inches, separate all the strands, fold several strands in half and use a bead threader. I use that method for rewicking my protank heads with ekowool. You might have to torch the silica before reassembling. If you torch the wool or silica before you try to insert it they become crispy and harder to work with. The bead threader works good with cotton and hemp fiber, IMO it makes it more even on both sides of the coil.

I'm fine with it as it is.... there's a small gap at the bottom of the coil where it doesn't touch the wick.... but it works better than the stock coils, so far....

My coils r wrapped around a 5/64 bit and I put a full piece of peaches and cream yarn in , fits perfectly and a single strand flavor wick..not leaks or flooding. Like the yarn over the balls ..easier to duplicate.
