I Dunned it first step!

[mowjo]

Ok not mind blowing for you lot but a biggy for me! after some proding here I decided to have a go at re-coiling my own coils, Ok I'm cheating a bit as I've ordered pre-made wires from FT (still waiting)  and I ordered some Japenese cotton pads which came today, opened them up and Whoo! they sent me Duff pads as these have loads of little black specs in them, quick Youtube look and they are seeds and normal, silly me! anyway the other day I had a go at just re-wicking one of my ProtankII coils with normal organic cotton wool,  was a bit of faffing for my fat fingers and dodgy eyes but I did it, I couldn't believe the difference from standard coils, more vapor, 200% better flavour, anyway looked at these pads and thought it would be hard to re-wick with them, Iguals vid and a few Youtubes later I had a go, it was so easy I really don't know why I never tried it before, removed the old wick carefully, did a dry burn to get the crud off and the ohm test, all ok, rewicked, put some juice on, yup! even paid attention not to dry burn cotton, re-checked the ohms all good, juiced up and left the MVP for 5 minutes, couple of pre puffs, then into the main ones, first thought Err! not all that, better than standard, plenty of vapor but can't see why everyone raves about the Japenese cotton, about 5 toots in it started, the flavour really came through and I'm getting it on the inhale and exhale, so now I know what all the raving was about, it's the Dogs, I'm going to have a try at making my own coils when I eventually get my RBA,s i'll just use pre-made wires for the ProtankII's, if any of you beginers are scared of re-wicking, re-coiling don't be! trust me if I can do it you can, just listen to the advice given here and you'll be supprised just how easy it is, and the best bit is not only will it improve the flavours of you juice and give you more vapor, its cheap and will save you a small fortune, it cost me less for 100 premade wires and ten cotton pads than it does for five standard coils, so thats 100 coils for under £5.00

Yup! and congrats, it's a great feeling cracking a protanks coil - believe it or not once you can do them, then everything else is easier as most decks are much larger

[mowjo]

Thanks Pep! wouldn't have even tried without all the help from the folk here,

Well done mowjo, I will pop round later and you can re-coil all mine

[mowjo]

Neil! give us a chance I'm only on my second one, at least the wife is happy now, not only will it keep me busy so I don't spend my time winding her up because I'm bored, but it's going to save even more money, she's now moaning because it crackles a bit with the re-wick, I can't win, I now need to sort myself a mini tool kit, so at least I'll look like I know what I'm doing,,

Congrats mate, unfortunately you cant do anything right when swmbo comes into it lol

Well done mowjo the difference in flavour and vapour is so much better than stock coils.

[mowjo]

Thanks Igual! it was your ProtankII vid that made me have a go at it, plus a lot of prodding from everyone else saying how easy it was,,

Jobs a good'un, Well done mow.

Same here it was igual's excellent guide that gave me the confidence to make my own coils, it great feeling vaping with coils you've made yourself.

[mowjo]

WhooHooo! got two on the go now, I won't mention I blew two coils on the other two though, don't know what went wrong they blew on a dry burn with no wick and nothing touching, both showed the ohms at 1.9 but they blew when I fired them up, now I'll have to wait for the Wires from FT, what has suprised me most it the difference in taste, I never worry aboout clouds just taste, I had some Blueberry and Menthol that was rank and I only use to clear vapors toungue, it has far too much menthol for me, I tried it in the new wick and for some reason it's calmed the menthol down and it's now quite pleasant, just blueberry with a hint of menthol,
