Wrapped my second coil ever!

[Zazie]

Don't worry--I won't keep this up. Though there may be a few more. No promises.

Anyway, today's foray into this brave new world went much more smoothly. Decided to build for the Ammit MTL rda because I wanted the luxury of a 3mm ID coil. I was aiming for 1.3 ohms using 28 gauge kanthal, and, with the Coilmaster, wrapped my six wraps, stretched and smooshed for a spaced coil, and hit 1.35 ohms with my very first try. Failed at my first attempt at wicking (cut the tails too short), but seem to have succeeded the second time around, because all is going well. And it amuses me no end to see the Ammit on the Aegis. Two Geekvapes, together at last.

Tomorrow's options are the Doggy, the Berserker 1.5, and the True. It'll probably be the Doggy, 'cause it's destined for a ProVari, and I'm dying to try one of those out.

Apologies for being a bore.

The next phase is Pre-Winding.
Pro tip: resist the urge to pre-wick the pre-wound coils.


It's great to hear you are having fun!

Cheers

Love that you're having success Zazie!

It wasn't too long ago I thought building would be forever out of reach, @Letitia. I am so, so pleased.*

*As all this overexcited crowing demonstrates.

You crow your head off I too remember you buying up large on drop-in coils, as you thought you'd never be able to build.

Now you get to buy up large on RBAs

Hey, those drop-ins are going to come in very handy at some point (hopefully later rather than sooner). Or at least make for a possibly welcome inheritance for someone.

Vaping offers proof that old dogs can learn new tricks.

Glad to hear you've been having fun making your own coils @Zazie, I use Knitting Needles for winding coils by hand as I found it to be easier than using my infuriating UD coil jig.
