Help with buying coils please.

[davemorton]

Im going to order some pre-made coils from fasttech, but dont have a clue which ones I need. It is for a fogger V4 dual. Also, if I order some wire to do it myself, what thickness do I want for that please? Many thanks.

thanks Des, I ordered these earlier

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the challenge of recoiling, but I just CANNOT master a reef knot to add non res wire to middle res wire...why are the only available videos showing 'how to' done in 'Chinglish?' I cant concentrate to follow as the broken English is distracting ???

If a member would like to pop a decent video up, I would appreciate as I've got the gear here to attempt (when I understand wtf is being said on available vids)

I must have more to learn that I thought Pep, I thought you just used one wire, little did I know

What about  Mevs Zapper


Edit: Sorry didn't really help davemorton. I find spending some time deciphering videos and enduring clouds being blown at the camera works wonders

Dee posted an excellent set of photo's demonstrating the process Pepperty on this thread:

I think Scott also shows how to in this video, though it's been a while since I watched it, so may have remembered incorrectly:

Simple way to join res / no-res wires

Shame, it's the easiest way i know of joining wires, p'raps easier for you if you hit the mute button

Seems you can crimp with these Silver Crimps There is a tutorial here with a little more research I see you can use a blow torch to 'solder' rather than crimp them.

Anyone done this?

I bought pre made coils from FT,they were supposed to be 1.8ohm but are actually 2.2/2.3,the first 3 i tried also tasted of burning,rubbish i'm afraid.

I bought these pre-coiled wires and they come out spot on 2.0ohm www.fasttech.com/products/1611705 I use cotton wool to wick and they work great but it's in a protank mini 2 not sure if that makes a difference. It's the only clearo I use having tried various others and finding them not to my liking.
