Recoiling Visions and Vivi Nova's coil heads

OK, I needed to re-coil and re-wick some Vision CE3's rebuildables so I thought I'd record how I did it. OK it's not so advanced but it might help those who would like to try it.

This is the same as Vivi Nova heads as well.

Tools Used
Scissors
Watchmakers Screwdriver
Straightened paperclip
Lighter
Tweezers (optional)
Small blowtorch (optional)

Consumables
Wick
Resistance wire



Here are the 3 coil heads, scissors, resistance wire



Dis-assembled.
Take the silicone top off and pull out the wicks, using the screwdriver push the bottom grommet out including the center pin.



Using the removed wick as a template cut the wick (I used 3mm wick but you can double or treble up thinner wick). I used a multimeter to measure out a length of resistance wire that gave me 3 ohms. But all you need to do is use enough to give you approximately 4 turns round a coil and leaving 3cm's for the coil legs.



I wound the coils, leaving the legs pointing the same way. I then used the blowtorch to heat the coil and wick, I do this as it reduces the "funky" taste on initial vapes.



Push the coil legs through the middle so they protrude out the bottom of the threaded coil holder. You can see the coil legs protruding out of the bottom. Choose which leg is nearest to the threaded holder body this leg will stay to the outside.



Trap leg that was nearest to the threaded holder between the body and the grommet and thread the other leg through the center hole.



Push the center pin in trapping the wire between the grommet and the center pin, NOT through the center hole! Trim the protruding wire nice and flush, you do not want any spare wire hanging about that may cause a short.



I use a multimeter to check that there is no dead short and to see what resistance I have ended up with, if you don't have a meter or a Provari, or a V2+ lavatube you need to be careful, you could put a few drops of liquid on the wick and try it on your battery to see if it fires up OK.



Here's the 3 completed, I trimmed the wick to keep both ends the same length.

The whole lot took me about 30 minutes to do.
