Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

[pufZeppelin]

used to used this stuff, it is 4 strands
I'd unwrap it and put one or maybe two across the top before I snapped the chimney on...

Excellent! Is that a type of yarn? Awesome deal in that stuff!
Why don't you use it anymore?

yepper - back in the day (before the JOC, ... Organic Cotton went wild fire and took over everything)
that Peach-n-Cream 100% cotton yarn was the hot ticket

I was just getting started building coils...
figuring the yarn was appx 2.2mm O.D. and making 2.0mm I.D. coils made for a PERFECT fit ! !
c-o-n-s-i-s-t-a-n-c-y was big for me and I got it with that set up
unwrap and lay a couple strands on top - I was making some high performance flavor coils (some great results) (musta made 1000's of them)

then the 'subOhm' era flooded in and it all changed again - the low power eGo batteries/MVP were out
the higher power devices flooded the market (20w and up^)
I 'upped' my power (slightly) and 'lowered' my NIC (slightly)

then I landed the eGo ONE tanks with CLR coils - The End, close book , open Volume #3 (the Tootle Puffer, a series of Fourtunate Events)

When my resistance is .4-.5 the Juice tastes slightly burned. I build to .8-1 that burned taste goes away. No i'm not talking about a burned wick i'm talking about tge Juice being exposed to too much heat.

The heat is caused by not enough air or fuel. It's very easy to make a 2.0 ohm coil produce too much heat. All coils will glow red hot with no liquid.

Ah yes,I remember using this for my protank minis,I also used cheese cloth for a bit too.Both worked well.Moved on to shiseido cotton pads and that's where I'm at now.
Once I stared recoiling I never bothered with the flavour wicks anymore.

Good to know, thanks!

Do these freaking coils ever die?

From an electrical perspective, this is true. From a real world perspective, it seems there is more to it than that.

Using the magical coil calculator, you can have a single wrap .8 ohm coil put out as much heat as a 2 ohm 10 wrap coil, but I believe the single wrap is going to taste like poo even smothered in juice. Surface area of heating element.

I've never heard of flavor wicks. Lesson for today: In this picture is the mesh pad wrapped around the coil considered a flavor wick?

There is a cap that goes over this thing. This is not my photo. It's from a blog on rebuilding GS Air coils by Cheechako (i think) and Puff you're mentioned there too.

Yes, found at Wally World. If you want to use it, be sure it's the 100% COTTON

Thanks, David!

I used to use the white, some preferred the "ecru". Theories were that the white was bleached, the ecru "natural" - but I always had a nagging thought that the ecru was dyed.... but don't really know in either case.

Became moot when I switched to true rebuildable toppers and rayon

I had forgotten about using that, my wife though I was mad when I came home with that and told her it was for my wicks

Agreed!

Any Chinese New Year sales popping up yet?

Did you get a response on this? I'm curious too!

Luckily she can't knit

Might be handy having it close by
