Uwell crown assistance

[shez]

Just trying out my Crown from thebishman.
Ni200 coil in at 200 Ni°C and tank is warm - is that normal? On a Istick 60w tc.

What other coils do you recommend? Any links please?
Can I fit a smaller drip tip?

I prefer duel coil SS myself.You can get them from the slowboat at very good prices or do what i do and recoil them.One of the easiest coils to rebuild and the flavour from a diy job with doubt is most satisfying

Hi shez...im a complete TC novice so im probably not the best to ask. As you can see i never used that coil.

Im sure theres someone on here that can advise!

I tried an ni200 coil head in the isub b road gave me. I definately dont get on with it. Will be sticking to kanthel me thinks.

yes is the answer to your question they can get warm especially if you chain vape but not as warm as a lot of other stuff out there.hottest tank I have is the cubis with rba in running it at 40 watts and the whole tank gets hot and I don't chain vape but it's not a problem.If you cant't touch it then I would worry a bit.Hope this helps.

No problem not really a lover of ni200 SS is much better IMO so get hold of some and have a go at recoiling them.Heres a few of the ones I do

I have ordered a clone and the RBA so any info here will be much appreciated.
shez thanks for asking the questions it could prove useful for me also.

I got an original crown + rba from amazon and it works great, I stick to using kanthal A1 Clapton coils in the RBA most of the time @30w, on average the rba needs rewicking every 5 days (but I do chug through 2>3 tanks a day on it)
I also bought a clone and a 5 pack of rebuildable heads from FT, and there pretty much the same deal as the original unit I got.

I found sticking to around the 0.5ohm builds works best (its around 5 wraps of Clapton wire on a 3mm jig) and rebuild the coil at least once a fortnight (but I am chugging custard on it so it gunks up pretty fast)

the same coil build with a menthol tank lasts around a month between coil changes and the wicks stay cleaner so only once a fortnight change on those as well

the coils say on the side there rated for up to 30w, that's the point at which your in danger of melting the O-rings though heat dissipation not performing too well, so your advised nto to go past it unles you plan on swapping orings regularly
