Snails - Response on Threads Part 8

[Katya]

@FranC and @Katya ... I saw this today:
5pc occ (organic cotton coil) for kangertech subtank plus & subtank mini & subtank nano5pc occ (organic cutton coil) for kangertech subtank plus & subtank mini & subtank nano

(.15Ω and 1.2Ω)

ETA: I haven't ordered from HC for years, so I don't know if it's a good or frustrating experience these days

I saved up a bunch of old square clogged-up coils. How do I rebuild them????????
I assume you're using nichrome Kanthal, and not using TC?

They are very easy to rebuild. Same build as ProTank and CLR coils, basically. Just DO NOT TORCH your coils--old school. Just clean your wire (soap and water, Isopropyl alcohol), rinse and dry and gently pulse to check the build.

 

[Katya]

I already have kanthal (not nichrome) wire.

I use 29 or 28 g Kanthal.

 

[Katya]

Yeah, and some are vertical, others horizontal, so that may be a diff too. Either way, if I can open em without wrecking them, I can rebuild em.

You don't need to open them... There are also YouTube instructions for rebuilding Kanger vertical coils, but I never bothered. Too much work for me.

Re: Provari

... Which model?
... How fast did it sell?
... Is $ a proper question?

ProVari Mini 2.5 with blue LED, extension cap and extension ring. I saw a wanted add, responded to it and the sale was completed in a matter of hours. Price in PM--I don't know if it's OK to post it in an open forum.

Good morning Snails It's dark and 20 degrees

It's ugly ? Or is it just me? As much as I love contests, I don't think I'm going to participate in this one.

Sometimes free isn't pretty

It's much better to open an OCC to work on it. You can actually see what your doing then
