Tastes better in your rebuilt, huh?

HA always tastes good. Don't know why I don't vape it more often.

The rebuilt coils are working well, though. When I tore the old ones down, I noticed that the wire was extremely brittle. I suspect that, just before a coil completely burns out, it is not heating very efficiently due to the deterioration of the wire.

You would be correct, Sir. I don't need much of a reason to rebuild a coil. I rebuild mine often. It takes little effort anymore. The instant I get a funky taste or it acts the least bit strange I rebuild it. It takes me literally less than five minutes to rebuild a coil...from pulling the materials to putting them away. Usually I rebuild several at a time and have them laying in wait. No time to put up with itchy attys. :)

Now that I have the building material that is something I need to get done - I have tuns of ViVi and T3 heads to recoil. Since I'm still on summer break, it's the perfect time to do it!

By the way, I'm vaping a blend of ParrotHead and Black&Blue - quite nice, too.

Do you ever dry burn them? I usually do a few dry burns before I replace.

Of course, if I use something like hemp or bamboo, I can't do that. Of course,
a horse is a horse - of course of course.

I'll refill a tank 2 - 3 times then rinse and dry burn. I generally can repeat this cycle a handful of times before most coils start getting funky. Maybe I've become more sensitive to "funkiness" now that I have been vaping for awhile now. But the expense and effort it takes to rebuild a coil is virtually nothing. So I don't make changing them an issue. I wont think twice about doing it.

I'm getting that way, too. I used to dry burn every day and change once a week. Now, I
dry burn a time or three, and then invest five minutes in a coil change.

I'm on my second new coil for the day. The first was with bamboo, and it was rockin' my world.
So I made a new one with hemp. A little more rockin' goin' on a 28awg 1ohm now on a mech
mod - but it's one of those days when I just can't get happy with the vape. I'm might have to
haul off and get a carto tank or a Nova out here pretty soon.

Guess I shouldn't posted that here... off_topic_lighthearted.jpg

I squeeze out every last vape I can....if it's working correctly that is. Now that I don't remove the head with every cleaning (duh!) my wicks and coils are lasting sooooo much longer.

It's becoming easier every time I do it. I built one last night. Took 5 minutes. Came out at 2.4ohms, just where I wanted it. Screwed it on, filled the tank with HT, and it's vaping just fine.

Cool Pap. No big deal is it? And it's so cheap that you can put on a fresh coil whenever you want. Just cuz. :)

Morning folks. I re-coiled two Protank heads yesterday. One of the old ones was so gunked it was reading 5.5 ohms. Easy, basically just like doing a Nova (except you can do it with a full tank :) )

Yeah, they are easy. I have rebuilt a few Evod heads, wich are basicaly the same thing, and it only took a few minutes.

I am vaping suprise suprise......Legend.:facepalm: Oh, and HA.
