My itaste vv3 is up in the air coming from fastech it left China on the 23rd along with a bag full of other stuff i couldn't resist lol so it will be here soon all being well can't wait . Its becoming expensive stopping smoking lol.anyway it should have paid for itself in a few months.
i have gone through loads of kanthal 0.32 wire trying to make coils but i can't get the hang of it even though i have watched loads of vids they all make it look so easy i blame my sausage fingers. Just ordered some 0.25 kanthal wire hope that makes it a bit easier to get a coil to work on a evod . Iam finding diy mixing easier than making coils thats been a great success so far.

Or even some ready made coils could help make life a little easier zax47: www.fasttech.com/products/1411/10007181/1591806The one wick ones are easier for the Evod than the 4 version . . . plus it could give you another FT shopping opportunity. Good to hear your mixing is going well.

Theres a hole at the side of the drill bit to put wick into & then just coil as normal its just like having a helping hand as you don't seem to have enough with two hands lol when coiling

If doing it that way. I must sound really thick give me a pig to cut up any day (I was a butcher ) lol thanks

zax47 Haha i had to have a look as i didn't know off hand, i have 2.5mm silica wick that i use & just use it single i don't use evods i have Davide mini's (glass) but the heads are the same, i cut a piece of wick approx 5 or 6 cms long & after coiling & fitting it in the head & putting it all back together (but before putting grommet back on) i trim it to size with nail clippers & no you don't sound thick how would anyone get to know anything if they don't ask questions. I have added a pic to give you an idea but there are loads on here that know more about recoiling especially Super-Shiny he has put some guides on that you can find by clicking on his signature at the bottom of any of his posts/threads. All my pics are always sideways but you get the idea lol

Happy days all my orders have arrived from FT this week & my Itaste vv3 came this morning fully charged. What a difference from my little ego batt. Just fiddling with settings my DIY juices have a lot more flavour , not tried the iclear 16s that I got with it yet that's next job. Looks like iam not going to get much done today lol
