Pre made wick and coil from fasttech = rubbish or is it me?

[emmita]

I bought some of these a while ago, but only just got around to trying one out.  It does not work.  I use a CE5 clearo and just replaced the old wick/coil with one and there is absolutely no "puff"  Should I be doing something clever with them?  Any help appreciated as I have 20 of them!

Is it just coil and wick that you then fit into the head?

[charon]

What resistance is the completed clearo showing?

emmita Are you sure you've installed it right?

Does it make the crackling sound when you press the button?

As charon says what resistance do you get? I find I have to undo the coils a couple of turns to get 2 ohms.

I've used loads (50+) and they've been pretty good.

I use them also and have never had a problem.

Ditto ^^^^^

Yes they are just a wick and coil ready made that slot into the head. You are getting a bit "techie" for me regarding resistance and ohms etc. There is no cracking or hissing just NOTHING no puff, no vapour nada! There are two "legs" of wire which hang down and which I simply put straight down into the cavity, perhaps I need to put those outside or something?

The two legs provide the electricity. You need to find out how to fit the coil (the legs) into the atomiser head. Without doing it properly, it won't work.

Somebody will link to a video no doubt. Good luck.

Aaah! I thought that may be the problem.......I'll look around for a youtube vid unless someone can point me to one first. Many thanks......

[emmita]

Just found a vid

will try this tomorrow and see how I get on.

These are the ones i use from fasttech



Been using these in me kayfuns, and for £1.36? can't go wrong.
Have just put two packs of the 1.5ohm 4 wick in me basket.

Yes those are the ones I have........certainly cheap as chips. Will have a good practice session in the morning.
