Help please. Any guides to recoil mini nautilus BVC ?

[rednutt]

I have around 27 mini nautilus BVC coils. Do I keep buying them or is there a good guide on how to recoil/wick them. I have wire (0.25mm kanthal) and organic cotton wool balls but I'm guessing I need the little pads now. Is the wire ok?
how fiddly is it to do ?

Thanks so much Get Off My Cloud I can never find stuff when I look. Will have a look at them and see if I'm up to the task. Bad eyesight make the small things so much more difficult

Can I unroll a cotton ball to try it out or must I use the pads? Also using .25 kanthal what mm on my mandrel should I use and how many wraps? At the moment my coils are 2 ohms and got my istick 30w set to 4.1v or 8.4w.
Really sorry for all the questions but still new to coiling.

These are supposed to be a nightmare to get right
I wish you well on your efforts please keep us updated
on how you get on.

They are a complete nightmare, stopping the vertical coil from shorting is a s-d.

I'm sure there was a guy on here offering to rebuild these not so long ago :-s

7 wraps round a 2mm mandrel should put you at around the 2ohm area, or 6 wraps round a 2.5mm mandrel, or 5 around a 3mm mandrel.
I imagine you could use regular cotton wool but i would assume you would get a more uniform result with the pads because the cotton will be the same density and thickness throughout and so it would wick evenly.

[rednutt]

Oh no. Didn't want to be chucking them out Being a newbie at it I've no clue about shorting stuff and what to look for to try and prevent it.
Where can I get my hands on these pads? Obviously don't need millions. Saw 5 pads for $1 on fasttech but is there somewhere in the uk I can get quicker?
Has anyone been really successful on here at recoiling these wee gits?

I have tried several times to coil them and they are a total pain in the backside, assuming you get the coil nice wicking is a totally different matter.
The best I have done was useing the cotton pads from vapemesh.
And the composite cotton wick to replace that fine stuff that covers the holes.
This worked great with 70/30 liquids but dry hit on 50\50.

I don't use either of my nautilus tanks anymore as tbh there are a lot better out there.
Both will be in the classies soon lol.

rednutt, muji cotton in the UK. If you go over the road to UKV there is a pictorial guide in the tutorial section.

Thanks guys. @tubthumper why is 10 squares 99p but 5 are over £2?

[mattyjones1977]

rednutt different cotton mate the kgd are more expensive due to the quality. I've got muji myself it was only around £3 for a pack of 140 pads I'll find the link and get back
