rebuilding aerotank.

Search harder on YouTube. I found one that works pretty good. He basicly does the normal wrap you see on all PT builds, but he wraps it around a 3/16" zip tie. So it makes a oval shape coil. Then he puts in a flat piece of cotton (same shape as a zip tie).

Forgive my noob ness, any link to that youtube vid?
 
NO, NO and NO!.. would really hate to see you go from deathbyzombie to deathbyExplodingBattery!

without an ohmmeter, you'll not know if you have a subohm or even a short.. only exception to the rule is if your device measures the ohms for you, but NO, just "wrap and go" can be dangerous..

I tend to just use my Evic to measure my ohms on my builds. The Evic also has a short protector built in to it so it won't fire if there is a short or even if coils are at a sub-ohm resistance.

I've built the PT3 (Aerotank) coils as both single and dual coil. With dual coil, I use 34 gauge kanthal, 8 or 9 wraps per coil to achieve 1.5 ohms. With single coil, I use 30 gauge for 6-7 wraps, also for 1.5 ohms. Oh, the wraps are done using a 1/16 hex key. With single coil, you need to lay down 2 flavor wicks down in the canal, then thread the coil down and secure it. That will prevent leaks.

You should get an ohm meter. If you have a VV or VW device, it may have an ohm check option, but I've found it isn't as accurate as my cheap $18 ohm meter.
