Greets vapers!
So I finally went out and bought me a rebuildable. Since I'm not into cloud chasing and subohming I figured something like a kayfun would be perfect, so I got me a kayfun lite 2 clone by ephro. It came with a store built coil which I fired up a couple of times just to get a taste, as soon as I got home I yanked that thing out to build my own
This is the first build, came out as 1.5ohm, kinda low but it'll do.
Then I saw a vid that showed how to make a chimney coil and I just had to try that... dumped the liq, rinsed the whole thing (except the deck/coil) and got down to making another one.
Ended up with this:
not the prettiest piece, but it seems to sit right over the air-hole, so in theory it should be damm near ideal. This one also measured out at 1.5ohm after getting all the hotspots out and such.
This chimney coil thing, looks koool, though I'm not sure that I like it for a couple of reasons. I feel that the taste/flavor I was getting with the first coil was better, with the chimney it tastes a little off, not sure why - same wire and wicking.
Speaking of wicking, the second reason I don't like the chimney is because it was a b!tch to wick! Since the wicking doesn't go through the coil and just sits around it it was a pain to get in enough cotton to cover both sides of the well while also keeping the cotton amount low enough to be able to screw the chimney on afterwards. I had to re-wick it a couple times before I was able to achieve all of the above, the first attempt was much too much cotton, couldn't fit the chimney over it :/
Now, who's got some other neat coil builds? Have you tried the chimney? What did you think about it?
