single coil aerotank just done!

[Deleted]

And a charger for a jump start! Glad I inspired you to have a go. Ohms jumping about a bit this morning but settled on 1.7 which isn't too shabby.
Super-Shiny why do ohms go higher then lower? I've had this before but never figured it out

Which method did you use to taking off the excess coil legs , was it the helicopter method or snipping with nail scissors ?

P.S  A big P.S here , why does @spikeyfridge and other members that I've seen not been online ( looking at the left hand side of the screen with the poster's stats ) not been online since the 18th April 2014 , is there a problem , or does the website not recognize some devices ???

Snip with nail cutters!

When you cut with nail cutters there is always a tiny bit of leg that sticks out.You can solve this by getting a flat bladed screwdriver and gently pushing in the slight bit of leg in ( do this for both legs ) , thus avoiding shorts , that's why I think you maybe getting your ohm's moving about a bit , a very slight short when putting the tank to your mouth it moves just slightly and when checking your ohms again it changes slightly.
That's why I now use the helicopter method, when the leg snaps off it snaps off just slightly INSIDE the grommet but still connected properly , I have had NO moving ohms on my heads since.Also with the helicopter method there is also no risk of cutting the grommet either, as I've also done this in the past too.

A BIG tip for the helicopter method is this :-  If your right handed , like me , turn the head upside down so the metal pin is at the top , put your index finger on the bottom ( where the coil is ) and then put your thumb on the metal pin and hold it quite tightly so the metal pin doesn't move while you're moving the legs.For a little bit of extra security , keep the drill bit ( or whatever you use ) through  the coil , so the microcoil doesn't move either, then use the helicopter method to remove the legs and job done, just need to put the wick in. I have done this method for about 20 coils now.I use 0.25 kanthal, 7 wraps round 1.5mm rod ( using the "Easy Coil" ) and get either 1.5 or 1.6 ohms every single time and it never moves from that figure through the life of the coil.I redo a coil 3-4 times a week as I use VG heavy E-Liquids , so the more time you do it, the easier it becomes.

As what Montana said above @spikeyfridge and also to add to that when putting the head in don't over tighten it as this can make the centre pin move which will in turn move the legs, same applies when putting the atty on a mod.

Now I know where the legs go, this should get better with practice

Am I on the right forum??

If I run out completely and recoiling doesn't work, I'm moving in with Super-Shiny

I am up for a threesome

Good tips thank you. Still can't do the euphoria. Totally different kettle of fish

[flavourtank]

@spikey_fridge you have inspired me to do it.

So I made one came out 1.8ohm but im getting a slight burn taste ive added rayon on top of coil but still has the taste of burnt old coil

Can anyone advise on why??

[prr]

Did you dry burn the coil before putting the wick in? flavourtank

[flavourtank]

prr yes I did to make sure there was no hot spots.

[prr]

With rayon I occasionally get a slightly burnt taste at the beginning which vapes offafter a while, remember wit rayon you need to pack the coil and I always put a good few drops of liquid on the wick and coil and leave to soak in the rest of the liquid in the tank for about 5 mins. flavourtank
