uk24 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) 25w coil comes out at between .6 and .5. if you wanna rebuild you need kanthal (26guage works best) what are you vaping it on? Also organic cotton for wicking. the reason I ask what your vaping on depends on how low you can build the resistance. lower the resistance and the more air equals bigger clouds but some regulated devices will only allow you to build down to a certain ohm level. my eleaf 50w for example will go as low as .2ohms.

weirdoku Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Does anyone else make there own juices find it much cheaper than buying 30ml bottles at a time, what VG/PG percentages do people run? I tried making my own juice but it just doesn't taste as good as the ones I buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamilyBiker Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 if you take your time doing it properly you even can get better results by mixing our own juice plus,like me,youll be spending like 40ct a day for it,which is the price for 1.5 cigarettes or something^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk24 Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 28w on a 1.2ohm coil im pretty surprised your not tasting toast when vaping that higher wattage. a 30w eleaf would let you build down to .4ohms so with a 26 guage kanthal you would need to do 5 wraps around the little blue screwdriver that comes with the subtank. I would practise wicking as that is key the subtank rba section comes with a pre built coil already installed so try wicking that and vaping it at 28watts first.

Coils are lasting around 5 days, a friend of mine is running the same set up but getting nearly 2 weeks to a coil. I think I'm just hammering mine lol.

uk24 Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 28watts is fine for a lower resistance coil you sure he's not running the .5ohm coil instead of the 1.2ohm coil.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible, I will ask him. I just like the idea of building a coil to suit my needs and it lasting a while longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 I have a sub tank mini, I'm just using the 25w pre built coils, it came with what looks like a rebuild able coil. How do I go about building my own? http://youtu.be/T8rO6PoMgU4 this should help (though I haven't watched it myself) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 nice one to rebuild,got me thinking of getting one despite me being an rda whore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) Yeah, I know what you mean, I'm more a dripper/rebuildable guy myself.. but I've got a smok tfv4 kit on pre-order, should be with me soon. It does have a rebuildable deck but I can't resist trying those tri and quad pre built coils, oh and that swivel fill top Edited July 27, 2015 by *gentlydoesit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Someone talk to me about these boxes you stick the atty on top of, I see a lot around. What's their story? Pros? Cons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 GET THE EGIP OLED Box Mods look so weird in comparison. If you are after small and powerful, I do recommend it! It is my daily at the minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Someone talk to me about these boxes you stick the atty on top of, I see a lot around. What's their story? Pros? Cons? Typically Built in battery mods are ok, they tend to have their lowest fire between .2-.4ish (*unless they're temp control) making them better suited to tank attys. Changeable battery mods are better imo, their lowest fire is usually from .05-.1, have a higher wattage range and are better suited to dippers. Depends on what you want from it. Personally I like massive clouds and insane flavour so I generally like a dripper. Cons are just the costs mostly, I can vape 20ml of juice a day @100 watts. Plus i get through two sets of rechargeable batteries a day, each battery cost £8, I have 8 on the go! 18650 mods can also exceed £100 If you link a device you have your eyes on I'll/we'll give you some thoughts.

uk24 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 I see box mods as more of my everyday device especially with a tank set up, I use mech mod for chilling at home with a dripper as its a lot of hassle with leaking and having to have it stood up. I do think with temp control and all the new chips coming out the the future is with box mods, also box mods are safer as regulated devices.

FamilyBiker Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 what are people using as a build atm? some coil pics would be great,i am searching for ideas. vaping a vertical coil at 1 ohm atm in m veritas,will get a pic up soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted August 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I bought a Mutation X V2 RDA clone for my subox mini. Sick of leaking so the subtank mini will do for home and the RDA for taking out with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*gentlydoesit Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) 24awg 3.2mm 6 wraps kanthal dual coils @.28 so close to the airflow they're practical outside the atty 24awg 316l wire twisted with 1×.1 kanthal ribbon 3mm 7 wraps @.18 Nothing exciting atm.. but I may make something juicy later Edited August 9, 2015 by *gentlydoesit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Aside from coils, what do people prefer for wicking? I'm using ko jen do, fibre freaks, cotton bacon, and a few more but I'm yet to find perfection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Here's one to try Sorry I couldn't get a better pic. It's twisted 30awg, then reverse twisted with another 30awg so three strands in total. It's like a parallel coil in that it heats up really quick, but gives great flavour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamilyBiker Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) holy sht thats some equipment right there,that inverse parrallel twisted wire looks promising flavourwise. i actually have a whole lot of twisted wires in my wrapping box but this is insane. how does this compare to twisted round- and ribbon wire "pure"? i seem to be pretty old fashioned when it comes to wicking,using cotton haha edit:also the third left wire on that one pic looks like solder,haha,what awg/mm is that?

JT! Posted August 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 So if I have 26 gauge wire, and I have a RDA that takes two coils, and I'm currently vaping on a 0.5ohm RBA, what resistance should I be aiming for on the RDA? 0.25? Or is it still 5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
