Thanks Super-Shiny. I should say though that I don't yet own an Ohm Meter. That resistance was what my iTaste v3 says. Interestingly my Vamo v5 says 2.1ohm. So, let's call it 2.2! If I posted a pic you'd see that it's not exactly a work of art so it's no surprise that it's a bit out of whack.

Thanks Super-Shiny! hijack I used 8 wraps of .25 wire on a random little screwdriver that my local shop gave me. I've just measured it and it looks to be 2mm. I did heat the coils and pinch them and I ended up with 2.3ohms.

Maybe. I'm keen to understand this a bit more though cos what you've done is very similar to what I did earlier but with a somewhat different result in terms or resistance. There seem to be a number of variables that affect how this works - diameter of rod or pin you wrap coil on, type and size of wire and (according to the chap in my local shop who demonstrated this to me) whether or not the coils are all touching each other or not.

Congratulations! What size wire is that then?

cHooBeyDoo I agree that the cotton was the hardest bit and even now I suspect that I've got a bit too much in there but there's plenty of time for practice. And as you say, the vape is so different (better) than a stock coil that it's definitely worth the effort.

Hi tifffai8 and welcome! Some more experienced members and users of the MVP will I'm sure be able to point you in the right direction but I guess the first thing to do is to make sure that you've got it setup right. I've got a different iTaste device but I think it works the same. You either use it in Voltage or Watts (Power) mode and not both. Which do you have it set to?

Thanks chykensa. That's a good tip that I'll remember for the next time.

nelsonbloke, don't get me wrong it wasn't completely smooth - I think I used a nearly a full cotton ball trying to get that right and then I did get a short because I didn't trim one of the legs properly but I noticed that before I'd completely reassembled it.

lairey, I can't tell you how much. Love tinkering with stuff but I'm generally completely ham-fisted. monfooldrop, heh, notwithstanding the cost savings the flavour (and vapour) from my Evod is pretty impressive

I had a go at recoiling a Kanger head with cotton and it seems to have worked first time! This is undoubtedly beginners luck but I'm feeling pretty pleased. I used 8 wraps of .25 wire and that gives me 2.3ohms as measured by my iTaste v3. I'm getting a tiny bit of juice on the battery head but actually less than I've seen with prebuilt Kanger heads. Major thanks to Super-Shiny for the guides. All in all, chuffed!

Oh okay thanks. Mine is just right at the moment but it's good to know that it can be changed if required.

Drill the air holes? Does that apply to all Kayfuns? I didn't know about that and my local shop didn't mention it. I actually had to tighten the air control screw a little bit to get it right.

Oh yes, I'm sorry. My local vape store. This one was 35 quid. From my quick searches they do seem to vary quite a bit in price but this one does seem to be very good.
