WHOA! Nice site for my eyes, jk! Great to see you back in here!
Beat me to it, Mr. O
I went to a local shop with a Kanger Subtank Mini I had won here on ECF and asked how to build. They fumbled through, but I got the gist of it. That was probably 2 years ago. I haven't used a drop in coil since... well... maybe once or twice...Now you know tge secret of why we rebuilders rebuild out attys.
A few years ago stick coil heads for the Sub tank Nano; tge OCC coil heads were diving me up a wall. Some leaked and spit, a tiny fraction were perfect, and about 60% were crammed with cotton and Dry hit city.
I watched Rip Trippers vid about rebuilding the OCC heads and it was stupid simple, and been building ever since
I just couldn't stand any more inconsistent coil heads.I went to a local shop with a Kanger Subtank Mini I had won here on ECF and asked how to build. They fumbled through, but I got the gist of it. That was probably 2 years ago. I haven't used a drop in coil since... well... maybe once or twice...

The 22 mm Avocado is good... better as a single coil with the block in place... but it's an RDTA, and I thought we were talking about GTA...
When I was deep in computers, man o man, the acronyms never stopped... until the designers started getting twitchy...
How about TWAIN. It stood for Technology Without An Interesting Name.
Anyone remember PCMCIA? It was supposed to stand for Personal Computer Memory Card Interface Applications, but the inside joke was People Can't Memorize Personal Computer Industry Acronyms.
Looks like we're headed down the same path...
I put BVC in an RDTA for TC...

I never really noticed inconsistencies, but I enjoyed the building process, and the savings... I mean, c'mon... $2 worth of cotton and $7 worth of wire for, what?, a years worth of coils versus $9 for 5 weeks worth of coils...I just couldn't stand any more inconsistent coil heads.
Yeah, but those are all SEPsI find I run into a lot of people with PEBCAK and ID-TEN-T issues.

YesHave you been hiding or buried under snow.
You've just about talked me into it @AlterUrEgo *Deep Breath* Okay, I'm good nowThe few stock heads that I vaped were in our ego/CE4 kits. First head was fine, got couple weeks out of it. 2nd head was harsh but it subsided after a while. It was the third head that ripped my throat out with hot metallic taste that almost made me go back to smoking. It was within the first month with just realigning the coil wraps to look like the coils I saw in YouTube that changed my vape...ohhh you can rewick them too so I bought silica and rewicked my first clearo head leaving the stock wire...OMG my hack rebuild job made this coil perform unbelievable. Now ekowool..even better than silica so the silica went into flavor wicks. Bought some 32 gauge kanthal as explained in youtube and rebuilt that CE4 head, how easy it really was and those CE4 clearos became amazing, soon after I began getting headaches so had to shelf the 24nic and vape 18. Those 3 heads 4 years ago were the only stock coils I vaped other than the clapton that came with my TFV4 RBA inwhich also changed my outlook on multi wire builds. I never bothered with the protank coils. I tore them apart brand new, recoiled then replaced first with ekowool then cotton and then with hemp.
I have saved a few bucks over the time but my vape has been nothing short of top shelf quality cause I bypassed stock heads and the misery that follows them, started rebuilding very early and never looked back.
Helloooo, Mr. Flakes. Yup, we've had a real winter here. The igloo has finally melted. Perhaps freeze is helling over.Vaping away in your igloo.
Me too! Even had a friend to save and send me his. I think I have at least 50 of them. I drilled the juice holes out to 3mm and they are the best yet!Now you know tge secret of why we rebuilders rebuild out attys.

Creston Valley...pretty part of the province. I'm on the west coast so what we call winter doesn't come close to what you folks have experienced but we did break some records.Don't let rebuilding intimidate you. I still screw up once in a while but 99.9% of the time its fixable. I have nothing to prove to nobody so I have no use to cloud chase but some builds are just that way. Its my wife who benefits the most since she hasn't had to do nothing but fill her juice and tell me her coil is burnt in her own special way of "try this" and hands me her hitter.
I live in the south east corner in the Creston Valley so the only vape shop is a computer store who sells YUK juice and out dated gear.
LOL at the igloo, with the snow storm we had a week ago it shut the town down for the first time from all the highways being closed due to avalanches, ice and unbelievable amounts of snow. We had 4 feet of snow in our yard from the drifting and I'm still shoveling snow. I haven't seen snow like this since the first year we moved to Creston in 96.

There are a few vape shops in my area but they're overpriced, although I do frequent one in particular for coils (eeek!)and juice.
One of the employees offered to show me how to wrap my own coils when I'm ready. Not sure why I'm resisting...I'll get there.
Cheers
I enjoy wrapping coils
sorta therapeutic, or soothing
nice to know you can make something the way YOU WANT and get instant gratification, then change it if you have mind to...
then the big $$ savings is sure nice too...
