Little advice on a premade coil, might have done a boo boo

[cloudyprism]

Hey guys!

I'm not sure how to explain first of all! Ok, i bought a premade coil a little while back - like a naturevape/unicoil. I have been using it the past few days, and went to rewick it. When i opened it up, i noticed the coil was turned so the wick was not facing the side of the hole... So, with me being a bit stupid thought 'ah ha... i'll get some tweezers and gently turn the coil back!' However, i kinda bent the coil so it isn't an even cylinder (/facepalm) I finally figured out that i turned the base of the coil and it turned back round. I rewicked it, it reads at a lower ohm (1.3 -1.5)

Have i kind of buggered it up abit with the coil itself uneven (and possibly touching each other on different parts of the coil) Vaping it atm, vapes ok... i think, but not quite as pokey. It's my only coil atm, so when i bent it i thinking 'oh balls'

What attie is it on and what should the ohms be?

Is it a protank styled coil like this?

I have it on the Mow tank (smaller ego one) I think the ohms were reading at 1.7-1.5 before! I was just a bit worried i'd completely screwed it up, i was pretty much using standard kanger coils before so was pretty new to me, when i saw it turned i thought ok... how do i fix this. When i dry burned i did notice from me making the coil uneven the last few coils took abit more to heat up.

Yea, sorry! It is pretty much like that, the coil in the midst of panicking i kind of made unequal but managed to rewick it!

Ahh I think the now tank normally uses the duel coil new versions.
Check out the unicoil from virtual vape. Sounds like you've just deformed the coil slightly.
As long as its vaping safely no shorts it should be OK.
Might be worth saving up the old heads and recoiling them.
Never done the newer ones but I believe that you can use the older styled coils with a rubber grommit.

Ok cool, thank you guys... i just thought i might have damaged it beyond repair. If it shorts (currently on an istick30) does that mean it just wont fire? I have saved my old coils up, they were the new (At the time) dual ones i think. I'll have to have a look at rebuilding those (which i wasnt too sure if i could when i got them in a starter pack) I was looking at unicoils and naturevapes earlier too - wasn't sure how to explain what i had done!

Takes a little more to vape but as long as im not causing any damage it will have to do for now
