And why do you want to adapt the airflow?
Too many variables at the start could potentially cause problems?
ie - if its not working as you'd like, do you adjust the voltage, the airflow, the coil resistance......

For him... I would get an MVP2 ... for his tank i would get an Aspire Nautilus.... others will have different ideas im sure, prepare to have your mind boggled ....haha For you..... im gonna let someone else answer that ....haha.. What about a cylindrical style for him? And what is the benefit of the Nautilus over a Kanger aeroflow? Why no recommendations for me? Have I already made a silly mistake? Thought you wanted an aerotank? I gave you a photo! And I think the spinner battery is probably what you are after? I also recommended mini-protank. Those I have used- very good compared to ce4/5, nova etc, but I've moved on. So have clearos, since I used them. Does your flatmate want a single unit, or a cylindrical mod that takes rechargeable batteries? |

If that's what the date of it is- yes!
Anything ordered before that date had the old t+c applied to it, so only 45 days.

I think I'm right in saying that the tank in fred 's pic is an Aerotank MINI If this is correct ( I couldn't comment) then a standard aerotank would look even more out of place! Maybe you should look at mini-protanks kitty778 ? Forgot to say before, make sure you get some spare heads for yourself and some kanthal (vapemesh company) and cotton for your flatmate. The wicks/coils are disposable items but can be replaced and rebuilt. You can replace them and he can rebuild them (for both of you)  |

Hi Pixilocks It sounds like the cotton is not filling the 2 slots cut in the atty. The duel coil attys tend to have a larger slot cut in them for the 2 coils and when recoiled for 1 coil you need to fill that extra gap up. Do as decoy says and once the cotton is threaded and cut, spread the cotton so it fills the gaps.
I blow on the ends of the cotton to 'fluff it up'.
Didn't have a atty that needed recoiling, but I threaded a coil with cotton a fluffed up the ends to show you what I mean. Before... After......
  After they look like this, they will fill the gaps better and wont flood. Your cotton looks so pretty in the before.. Why do mine never look like that?! Lol Does hijack wash his cotton? |

When you have 180 days to file a claim? This was only implemented in the middle of June. Anything ordered before then is still subject to 45 days. Its that new that (as of yesterday) the help pages on PayPal still haven't been updated with the new timeframe. Most of the post you've seen regarding claiming, will have been ordered before that dat/, as folk generally don't even think there's a problem from China for at least 4 weeks! |

You only want cylindrical, but vv - I think an aerotank is wider than a cylindrical battery, so a 'beauty ring' would be needed, and the end result would be something like this :  Never used them myself/ but myepak will probably have what you both require. I'll tag Steve (VapeStorm) as he's another who might have what you want at the right price. Sorry I've not been much help, I use mech mods and kayfuns myself - I'd strongly recommend both, but not to a newbie! *welcome*to the forum. Hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge on these items will be along to help you shortly. |

Looks OK, and a bit jealous that you havea decent shop on your doorstep. I will say though, that the first thing to hit me, in the centre of the screen as I opened the website, was that the spell-check had been performed very weakly!! First impressions and all that Unless of course I got it wrong, and the new stuff is in a small village in Northamptonshire  |

Can you post a photo of one you've done? Someone may be able to help you better then.
For evods, as we both said, a 2mm drill bit is ideal. Then, its a case of playing with the cotton so it wicks well, but doesn't leak.
Once you've got the cotton through the coil, try carefully kinda back combing it, to fluff it up and make it fatter where it comes out of the head. And not too much in the actual coil. But you must have enough in the coil. You'll get there!
I use asda little angels cotton pads and some random cotton from the vet. I don't wash it.

Should have also said/ any scissors or clippers will do.
Use the gas stove or cooks torch for heating coils.
I use a Christmas cracker screwdriver to wrap coils on - you can use anything that is the rightish size. Do you have access to a 2mm drill bit - they are just right for starting.
You'll also need a multimeter or device that can measure the resistance. (Multimeter would be £3-4 on fleabag for a cheaply)

Cheaper to buy it separately!!
You won't want that nichrome at all!!!
1m of wire won't last long.
Vapemesh company for kanthal.
Saintsbury basics ( I think) cotton wool for 49p.

If the quality of this device is anything like the advice given here I'd stay well away from it. You shouldn't be vaping oil. The clearo in that kit is called a mini protank - these certainly are available at myepack, and you can get MUCH better batteries for MUCH cheaper just about anywhere. I believe myepack does a mini protank kit for about half the price of that website. Where did you used to buy these kits? |
