I had been procrastinating about building my own coils for awhile now, but on Sunday, I was frustrated with a couple of bad coils I bought, so I got out my 50ft. roll of Kanthal wire, and I started trying to find the right coil that worked for me. I tried 13, 11 9,7 & then 5 wraps, & 5 is the magic number for me. I do 5 wraps, and I'm getting consistant readings of 1.1 to 1.2 ohms. And they are going on 2 Kayfuns, & Taifuns, & all through Sunday, I vaped on 3 different variable mods, & they performed perfect.
I got great taste & flavor, & plenty of vapor production, so I'm considering this a success. I have talked to quite a few of you folks and have been advised many times to start building my own coils, but I held back. Not any more...I used up that 50 ft. roll of Kanthal, I was just going to town on making my coils, & I have a little baggie full of ready made colis for my mods, & I suspect they will last me a very long time.
Now I'll admit, the first few I made did not look so good, but with me being almost a perfectionist, I kept trying and looking at them to determine what I was doing wrong, & I can honestly say I was able to figure it out, and I'm really quite proud of my hand made coils! I'll post some pics a little later today (Monday) it's 3:00 a.m. & I'm wiped out...lol I just had to get it out that I was successful at making my coils, and it was because of the encouragement and guidance I have recieved from The Underground!
Hoping everyone has a great week...
