So yeah I started rebuilding. I only have protank heads (mini protanks the normal one coil ones), an mvp2, 32 gauge kantal and organic coton. I followed some youtube video, tried a micro coil of 7 wraps around a drill that fited inside the coil head, and it vaped right for 2 minutes then a gurguling sound and juice spilling...
So I want to know if I didn't put enough coton or what ? What would you recommend for a first good build with that gear ? (number of wraps, coton etc) ?

You need to build a quad diamond coil with twisted tiger wire. :). J/k.

Your problem is not the coil, it's your wicking. Make your cotton a tad thicker. When you put the top chimney on the coil assembly, the cotton should cover the hole on both sides.

Another thing you can try is thicker liquid. I found I can't run a heavy PG blend in my Protanks without a bit of gurgling or leakage. But my 50/50 blends and thicker run flawlessly.

The first time (actually the only time) I recoiled an EVOD my coil was too small so I used too far too little cotton. It started gurgling, so I blew it out. Unbeknown to me, it was so badly wicked that I blew the cotton out of the wick holes and turned the EVOD into a juice straw. I'm sure you can guess what happened when I sucked on that.

Def sound like a wicking issue. Try to use more cotton. Roll it so it isn't super tight but very snug. Thread it through the coil so it doesn't move freely back and forth, but has just a bit of resistance, again not so tight the the whole coil moves back and forth when moving the wick, but enough to be snug. I have found that if I vape say a 1.8ohm coil @ 12-15Watts (yes it is possible to do w/o burning) that there needs to be a small gap between the chimney and the base ie. not totally covered by cotton, so for this set up I would leave off the flavor wick, to allow the flow of juice to keep up with the coil. If I turn the watts down to 7-8w then I start to get flooding as the coil cannot keep up with the extra juice flow. So at lower watts I do need a flavor wick to fill some of the gap, but at higher watts the flavor wick restricts too much juice and ends up burning. Give that a go.


-Best of Luck-
