Get me!

[reddragon]

I know most of you are very experienced but can you remember when you made your first coil and it worked?

Well that’s me today 

I was just looking at the wire and thought I’ll give it a quick try and did 9 wraps of 32AWG 2mm around a 1.4mm precision screwdriver (bought a set for £1 in morrisons this morning) a bit fiddly to get it back in the head, think I will need my specs next time, but it went in and I put it on to my istick and it showed as 2.9ohm.

In my excitement to put it in a tank I forgot to put the chimney post on   so after I had cleaned up and got it in the mini protank 2, I fired it up and it worked 

Its a bit higher that I normally vape but I made it and it works 

I also rewicked a mini vivi nova with some cotton yarn and that is vaping lovely so won’t get chucked to the back of the cupboard.

All in all a good day and all thanks to AAEC for the wonderful guides on here

Nice one reddragon, cracking when it works isn't it!

[reddragon]

Certainly is prr I was just amazed that it fired and worked. I will now have to take apart all the heads I have got so I get get practicing

Well done feels good to be the vape equivalent to "self sufficient"
My only pointer is the kanthal is 0.2mm, people will think you're a crazy cloud chaser if you say you're using 2mm kanthal.

reddragon, good for you!

[Marcus]

Also, if you can could a protank head or similar and get it back wicking just fine you will have no problems with an RDA or RBA! They have a lot bigger decks which are much MUCH easier to work with.

Top marks to you, something I've yet to try.

You knew what I meant 

I only have little hands but I am not delicate (and I am cack handed to boot!) and I did find it fiddly, but I am sure it would have been a bit easier if I could have been arsed to walk to the other room to get my specs 

It has definately given me the confidence to go for an RDA/RTA  as making the coils was something I wondered if I could do and now I know I can!

Great news reddragon! You'll be doing them blindfolded before long

[dinamic22]

reddragon try 8 wraps & as tight as you can wind next time & it should work out 2.1ohm ish & well done its a great feeling isn't it when your own coils work

reddragon Ive heard there is a bunch a free wicking, wiring stuff on the PIF thread if you need any of that stuff?
