Finally managed a recoil

[Dave Vader]

So sat down with some wire and wick and my old T3 heads last night and decided to just bite the bullet and have a go. It worked, pretty much first time, a couple of cock-ups due to using old blunt wire cutters, and the probe on my multimeter is just bare wire now, but it seems to vape alright, despite having a pretty high ohms rating (looked to be over 3)
So I did my other one, and jammed it in the spares box.
I reckon the next one I do will actually be spot on, quick learning curve. Also will buy new wire snips.

Life is about to get much cheaper, this is a lot easier than one might be led to believe by some of the videos on youtube.

Nice one. I just use scissors to cut tge wire.

Sent from my Galaxy Note 2

yep scissors here too. The boots value range nail scissors are perfect for getting in the bottom of the kangers.

Or Nail clippers, you can get them form the Pound shop....not sure of the price, but quite cheap

[GunJack]

anyone know where you can buy the silicone bungs that sit between the metal +ive plug and the -ive casing for CE5 heads and help hold the wire in place?? I need some, that aren't rubber......

[Dave Vader]

Excellent, i did end up using my beard trimming scissors for the final wire cut, but that's the sort of thing i end up regretting

Congrats on the recoil, did it taste just a little better because you did it yourself.? I know mine did

Not sure about that, you'd best pop in and ask one of the shop assistants

Sorry Greigster I couldn't resist, but when I read your post it made me chuckle so thanks ;-)

[Greigster]

Absolutely no probs gapy360, I just love to make people smile, much at my own expense and sometimes at others expense but always without malice

Best thing for cutting wire and silica type wick is what's called a 'braid blade' from a fishing tackle shop or ebay. Cuts wick very cleanly with no fraying. About £5.00.

[Dave Vader]

ah, the second one I did last week is not so good. I tried using it last night, and my battery just flashes at me and refuses to work. I suspect a short in there somewhere. More fiddling then...

That's what I use. Being a fisherman has the added advantage of being used to tie fiddly rigs so recoiling has been fine.
