can the Atlantis sub ohmb coil be rebuilt?
- Thread starter smacksy
- Start date
I have. It involves the complete removal of the guts....being careful to observe how the coil ends assemble in relation to the outer housing and the insulator. One can either replicate the coil using nichrome or kanthal and wrapping a 2mm layer of Japanese cotton around the coil, making sure that all of the coil and legs are fully isolated from the shell of the head....or building it like a WEE version of the Taifun. There are a few YouTube video tutorials up regarding both. This process maintains the resistance (or whatever you want it to be) whilst toning down the throatiness of the vape.
Very cool..I'll research those videos before attempting.. What size bit do I use to wrap the new coil on? And indeed this is a vertical build, right? Thx
First method is replicated the stock build....I used a 3mm mandrel. For the horizontal "Taifun" style build..I used a 1.5mm mandrel due to space limitations requiring a much smaller gauge of wire in order to hit the target .5 ohms.
I can say from experience not to use 20 Gauge Kanthal, I wrapped a coil around a 3mm mandel and it came out to 0.11 Ohms. It vaped great, but way, way too hot and the base of the atty got really hot (thermally, not shorted).
I can imagine. Iol
I plan to first use 24g and if that's too hot try 26g...I don't use 20g even in my drippers..

utube is your friend enjoy and good luck.
Thanks!
I find them an easy to medium build. I have not ordered an Atlantis. I'm going too. My quest to fill my lungs, BEcauese I don't smoke cigarettes. Nice slow draw.
Mt. Baker has some really nice flavors. Some a little weak by My standards. But I just make it Mine!
You probly will like it..when I first got it I thought it was a little lame but today I switched to a 70/30 VG/PG mix and was surprised at the difference it made
in flavor..clouds are still about the same when using 100% VG..I think it was too thick..
It is all so much better than cigs.
Hey YOU! Before I started smoking I Didn't. Then I did. held my breath under water 3:37 seconds. No, that Camaro needs a roll bar.
Oh, Smoking Cigarettes to fit in? Na.

Just got a tracking #. I will have another Tank to play with! I build coils. It's fun!
Were from R asrasdtrasdta. Yea, like Blu? Like Black Better, We Getting it! Make change NOW!

Glad for the tips. Just bought my daughter an Atlantis and was pondering the rebuildability of the coils. (That word gets more entertaining every time you say it. Go ahead, try it...) I used to rebuild Kanger coils before they redesigned them, but I've gone to drippers lately, so wasn't sure about these.
Any coil is a coil, so yes. Seeing to build them is different. I had to visit Mr. eye doctor. Old age.

Found a guy who made a few pics of his build, thought he did a pretty good job if your interested here's the link, http://imgur.com/a/useB8
Making coils is an art of it's own. Some of mine are pretty, some not so much. But they work, that's what counts.
Has the insulator melted? My old days with pro tank coils and he rubber insulator always melted.I rebuild these with a horizontal build like in the video. I do a spaced wrap coil though and I'm loving it!
Also, I use a small piece of 400 ss mesh folded in half (not shown in pic) to block the other two holes.
The pictures were pretty good and informative. I just have to add, When you're twisting coils like this try using a 4-40 or a 6-32 screw. It really helps. Your coils are spot on even and it gives you something to hold on to
