Pre-made wires and wicks

[yourgurnard]

I've Found the FT Coils Great for Re-Doing Kanger Heads & Have a Fair Amount of 'em in Me Box!
Like You, Firing 'em Up Wiv an MVP2, & As Said Above, You Can Check Resistance on That.
Go For it! You Wait....You'll Soon Be Twisting Their R/NR/R Wire Together & Making Your Own DIY 'NatureVape'-esque Micro-coils!
(Annoyingly Tho'.......I Still Find the Bloody Things Look Neater & More Even Than the Coils I Wind Meself!?!)

I can coil...........just about but I'm hoping those coiling pen thingies will be my lifesaver! the kuro coilers?
i'm going to be very bitter if they aren't miraculous

I buy fasttech ready made coils, have loads of their microcoils and their r-nr-r coils, and I have the r-nr-r wires as I have a fair amount of ceramic attys and drippers, totally love them!

No wonder your struggling Pepperty I would try the NR-R-NR......tends to work better

[Pepperty]

aha! I stand corrected yup, that'll be the ones

[mowjo]

Ah! that could be why I spent two hours looking for them on FT,, well I could have if I didn't already have the link saved,, Tease-smiley

you mean these? :-

www.fasttech.com/products/1593911

got a couple of hundred in the vape box, although sometimes they may need a couple of minutes boiling then rinsing before use... some bags are good to go without, some bags need it

[Pepperty]

Yes GunJack that's what I'm planning to use soon as I finally got my hands on a gg penelope and i'm hoping to rebuild with microcoil and cotton (spotted one youtube vid on 'how to') so I just yank out the silica, compress and fire.

I just wish that fasttech would make more robust nr-r-nr wires as these really are single use but I suppose I can live with that as its easier than trying to splice/weld my own me and my zapper are not friends.....

I tend to use them as-is, and can then normally re-wick once with cotton once the silica has had it

yes, good thinking - I suppose I can, as long as I keep the coil up at top of ceramic I should be able to dry burn and re-thread

I recently bought some no res wire to try and make my own nice sturdy nr-r-nr coil but not done well with zapping so I may try and just twist the joins as the penny ceramic is lovely and large (compared to divers and ebarrons) I really need to learn my knots! that would make life and joints easier, but I cant seem to absorb the info from watching youtube vids ???

I'm assuming that if I made a nice decent microcoil on the penny it could be like a naturevape version, dry burn, rethread cotton and months of use before redoing? I'd be willing to spend a decent amount of time setting it up, if that way the case

dunno about all that rba stuff, I only use (and use those coils) in protank heads, sorry

[mart166]

I used to make my own coils (evod/protank), but found the FT ones fine and timesaving, just one tip, give them the blowtorch experiance first to stop funky taste.

Amazon also do nr/ r /nr premade wires I use them in the Ithaka

that's sweet of you @tazmania441 finding that for me, but I still cant really work it out..... can someone teach me at next vapefest?! a nice demonstration would be gratefully received!

*edit* OK I promise to sit and try it over the weekend, this is the way I want to do it as you dont end up with a horrible massive twisted clump of wire which is bound to be a devil to position on a ceramic with a matted clump of wire......
