wire and wick type

[dennis]

hey, am new and want to rebuild the coils in an joytech clearomizer...ive pulled out the coils and have a basic knowledge of how they are constructed....the factory coils work well for about 3 days and then begin to get a burning taste
am using a 1100 battery ......my question is the size of the coil wire and the wick component.....some say fiberglass wicks some say silica wicks....kanthalchrome wire seems to be the wire of choice but im confused about ohms and resistance  and quite frankly its difficult to get that technical due to my lack of understanding  about such things......if some one will be kind enough to get me started in the right direction so i may develop some sophistication about being able to do this myself.........after 53 yrs of smoking havent had a tobacco cig in almost a year........ what a difference in health 
thank you all  for your help and support......

Hi Dennis,

Welcome to the forum.

I'm a lazy so & so, I buy the premade wicks & coils from Vapourbreak.,so you dont have to wrap.

www.vaporbreak.com/en/ego-ufo/166-atomzier-wick-for-ego-ufo-.html

IF you really want to enhance your vaping experience- I guarantee this will!

Buy a Vamo kit from Fasttech.£34.13 -Worth every penny.

www.fasttech.com/products/1411/10004394/1359403

Fasttech also sell the premade wicks as well.

www.fasttech.com/products/1411/10004596/1432701-replacement-heating-coils-for-rebuildable

IF you do buy from Fasttech, select Singapore Air Mail , it costs an extra $1, but the postage is far quicker than China AirMail

Cheers

Mike

there are three things that come to mind .......first your independently wealthy , but , then what are you doing shilling for vaping companies......
two your either not a smoker or dont smoke very much........ the cost of your being a lazy so and so goes back to number one.......three you never addressed the questions asked...... you just offered a different direction, which also goes back to being a shill for vaping companies......... this i offer with all sincerity and respect "LEAD.....FOLLOW.....OR GET OUT OF THE WAY"

That I think is completely out of order Dennis and as I've said to you via PM, Mike was trying to be helpful despite them not being the answers you wanted to hear.

It's common practice on our forum to post links to any number of companies, it doesn't mean any of us are shilling.

I don't believe we are the forum for you, so I'm saying goodbye to you now.

Was about to start a thread about this but just so that dennis started something similar to what I like to ask. What is the best to get the ekowool or silica wick? and which wire shall I purchase ?

I am new to coiling/wicking melitahams but so far I have been using 2mm silica and 0.2mm Kanthal wire (I think this is also referred to as 32 gauge). I have heard that ecowool is better but more expensive than silica.  

[melitahams]

Thanks so they need to be if a .2mm wire is used then a 2mm of silica or ecowool have to be used or it can be combined like ,.2mm of wire and 3mm of silica or ecowool

I think that's a good combination (though it will depend on your mod/atomiser). I have been using 0.2mm Kanthal amd 2mm Ekowool of late. I prefer Ekowool to the 'standard' silica - but you're right it is more expensive.

I watched a video recently where the guy used ecowool and it seemed to be less prone to fraying than silica. I think I will order some for my next igo-l recoil.

I realise 'dennis' has moved on.

Until now,I have kept my counsel, so I've decided to reply to his 'post'.

First - I'm not independently wealthy. 20p per pre-made wick, Is this the sign of a rich person?? 
(For his information, I worked in the NHS for 32 years,before being made redundant, so now I am unemployed)

Two, Is 20 cigarettes a day - not a heavy smoker???

I used to use 1100 battery, but I switched to a Vamo, & it enhanced my vaping experience by 200%,so I thought it would help him, 
Oh well!! - can't please everybody.

In closing, 'dennis' has assumed many incorrect assumptions - However ASSUME is a dangerous word - it can make  an 'ASS' out of 'U' and 'ME'

Actually, I wanted to know more about Kanthal & Ekowool before 'dennis's' rant  

Anyway,back to the thread ..............

Cheers

Mike

You are a much calmer man than me mike weaver93. I just exploded when I read that guy's ungrateful outburst to what was a very helpful reply. A total A***wipe who does not deserve the time of day!
