I have a CE5 that I've been learning to rebuild lately. I finally got some successful coils made this past week, except they burn up quick and there seems to be a safety concern with my battery.
I started wrapping three coils of 30 gauge wire, which gets me a finally satisfying amount of vapor compared to five wraps like many people have suggested. I used to try four or five, but it is too difficult for me to get those coils to either not overlap wraps or not touch the sides of the head.I also tried 4-5 wraps with 32 gauge wire with the same results.
I started with a 650 mah variable voltage ijoy battery. Everything works fine.
I recently got some cheap "ego-t" 1100 mah batteries from ebay. Two batteries, two chargers for ten bucks. American seller. I think they're obviously not genuine batteries from whatever company designed ego-t because I know they're popular with beginners, and mine seem really cheap. The five click feature on my ego-t's are so touchy and it is nearly impossible to get it to turn off without some seriously rapid clicking.
That being said, I just started using one of my ego-t batteries on my 3-wrap 30 gauge coil head, and the battery shocks me a little. If my finger touches the metal from the bottom lightly, I get this little burning/shocking sensation. the base of the tank also gets hot way more quickly than usual. I believe the ego-t batteries are only something like 3.7 volts, so that's surprising. It usually takes my variable-voltage ijoy set on max voltage to make the tank hot.
So, is my coil build dangerous somehow? And are these coils not ideal since they burn up quickly?
I also have a Kanger PT3 mini coming in the mail. Hopefully that will work better.
