Saving the coil... Tossing the wick..

[jcwest]

I realized something today..

I went scouring through my supply of wire and couldnt find any no-resistance wire eventhough i bought some last week from COV and needing to wrap a new coil on one of my penelopes.. I got my kir fanis tanks for them today and figured id just start fresh with them on a pene with a new coil and wick but i couldnt find the small roll i bought last week.. SOOO!!

I just unwrapped the coil on the old wick and cleaned it up and used it again on a new piece of wick..
I didnt realize i could do that but figured the concept was sound..

Unrolled it.. Cleaned it.. Wrapped a new wick and started vaping..

GUESS WHAT!! WORKED LIKE A CHAMP!!

When my lifetime supply of wire runs out, I'll give your tip a try.

Wasn't it brittle? Not sure what would snap first, the old coil or my patience...

I don't know how you get enopugh length out of the wire unless you are pulling it from a long-stemmed head and putting it into a short-stemmed coil or are using less wraps.
