I give up, I cannot get that b....y grommet back in

Needle nose tweezers is what i use, sometimes though you can just push them in with a little fiddle.

YES! I have done it, but I can't check the ohms as I find the adapter for my Segeli, but I am vaping with it now, it's crackling and oozing out steam, I am steaming...... thanks Romelee, couldn't have done it without you.

I knew you would get there in the end, well done and feel proud of yourself, it gets easier from now on.

Well done

You can now

Not sure that was reassuring! My wicks and wires haven't arrived yet - try a few more @fagashliland tell me it gets better.

Good for you Phoenix ., keep us posted. I'm nearly there, on the verge of taking that leap, dithering about what wicks and wires I need to get (even though I've been given lots of advice), it's just a bit scary so your experience could be invaluable (if you'll share it).[/quote


I have done it Loobieloo!
the hardest part was getting the damn rubber grommet back in place but I was trying to get it back in with the screw still in it, easier if the screw is removed but a still a bit of a faff. But what a difference a vape makes, much more vaper and it crackles , only 6 more to do.
The daft thing was ,I bought some this week in case i couldn't recoil my old ones, so I will have plenty to go at,not buying any more ready made ones,I can save more money.

So you really should have a go Loobieloo, watch some vids to get a better idea.
Good Luck!

I feel so proud of myself, I watched Todd's vid on re-coiling and he said 'nobody gets it right the 1st time.' I proved him wrong and everyone else who thinks they can't do it...YES you can! Go girl....

And so you should, nothing better than vaping a wick you made yourself

Hope so Romelee, it took me about 35 mins

Just done another one 12mins Yay!

Question...What difference does the mm make in the wire used?
I ask this because the 2mm I am using is very very thin and difficult to see even in daylight, I would like to use the .4 one?

It changes the resistance of your finished coil Phoenix, you'd need goodness knows how many wraps to get anything from a .4 wire.

About 20 wraps on 2mm for 1.8-2.0 Ohms...

I find that with my old eyes I have to use one of those magnifier/helping hand gizmos to do rebuilding. With one of those it's no problem
