I have seen a few videos on YouTube about rebuilding eleaf coils. I know they have an ecr coil head that is rebuildable but I have not heard good things about them. In any case that is not what I'm talking about here.
I know the coils are cheap. Hell I got 5 coils for 4 bucks shipped. I did it anyway and tried a rebuild using the same coil. I just cleaned up the coil and replaced the cotton.
Since then I've purchased some 28 gauge nichrome wire and want to replace the coil next time around.
My concern is the legs of the replacement coil heating up around the small rubber separator where the legs make contact with the center pin and the outside case.
If I understand correctly from the factory these coils have not non resistance wire legs micro soldered to the coil. Is this true? Also are these legs important or can I just get away with using the nichrome the full length of the coil. I mean coils heat up center outward anyway right?
And if I do need legs soldered on what material do I use? Same gauge Stainless Steel? Plain old copper wire?
Thanks in advance you guys have helped so much.
