Looking to buy coils

[Smallzvape]

I'm looking for sites that are selling legit good coils for cloud chasers I'm still in process of learning this stuff but might take me a while to get in on it I'm looking for good ones tho not skimpy skinny looking ones durables to fit in my Kennedy v2 competition style rda please and thanks in advance

Most serious cloud chasers build their own coils

 

[OBDave]

Moving to Coils...

I'd strongly recommend building your own coils, especially to start. I know that sounds counter-intuitive but learning Ohm's Law and putting it into practice yourself, along with learning battery safety, is key to avoid blowing yourself up if you buy something online that your setup isn't prepared to handle.

Try a few basic builds with 24g or 26g, it won't be that hard...then if you really feel the need you can pay through the nose for someone to build you some sort of triple-dragon-quad-helix-clapton-stapled-twisted-braided-donkey-raper-unicorn-virginity-robbing supercoil.

 

[nabibrian]

What kind of coils you looking for?
Do you or have you considered building your own coils?
I made a coil I call the twisted trinity chain that is about 0.25 ohms @ 4wraps
Are you looking for something like this or just a basic 0.4 or 0.5 coil?

 

[BUDKISS]

i build stuff for folks all the time. I find it fun. If you need something specific PM me and maybe i can help.

 

[Smallzvape]

I'm just starting up on coils so I still got some learning to do before I start up but I need to know the stuff I'm going to need to be doing my own coils plus right now I'm still waiting on my snow wolf 200w to arrive dnt know what batteries go best on that to last long battery life

There's a lot of good batteries, but I prefer the LG HE4's. Check out eBay. There's some good deals there. I think I pay around $5 each and they usually come with battery cases.

 

[BUDKISS]

Smallvape... Just wondering based on photo how old you are

 

[Whiskey]

I was kinda wondering myself, just as a precaution

 

[Smallzvape]

I'm 19 lol if your thinking I look 15 or something haha

Are those rechargeable and are they good for snow wolf 200w

 

[OBDave]

Are those rechargeable and are they good for snow wolf's 200w because those box mods drain batteries like crazy they need special batteriesbecause 18650 won't do it

This is likely the scariest post I'll see this week.

"The fact that you'd post that comment makes it clear that you have A LOT to learn before even attempting to turn your mod on, let alone start cloud chasing at high wattage. Please, spend some time with the above thread, and come back here and ask questions as you come up with them. Most of us used vaping as a tool to quit smoking, not as a way to make our friends think we were cool - and some of us take serious offense to people doing stupidly dangerous stuff because they think it makes them cool. None of us want you to blow yourself up and become another poster child for the anti-vaping crowd.

Sorry if this comes across harsh, but it's really damned important you don't go trying to stuff some random battery you think is "special" into your 18650 mod because "18650s wont do it." "

I didnt know a mod that uses 18650 batteries didnt work with 18650 batteries...i feel like a noob now.

Well for Dave is very quick to judge not knowing my own story nor was i going to be attempting at random to use my box.mod without knowing how to work it nor do I use vaping to look cool in front of friends because I live my life not trusting many but like I said Dave doesn't know my story that's why I came on here to learn more about it before attempting and yeah I meat up about the 18650 thing lol rookie mistake a lot of us have made yeah haha criticize and make fun of the rookie like some of you haven't been through it haha very funny and my box mod hasn't came in and yeah still looking into batteries and everything thanks for the link

I think Dave may have been questioning this because you seem to not even know that every 18650 battery on the face of the earth IS rechargeable.

But for real you need to find a pair that are High Drain 25 or 30 amp Continuous (NOT PULSE, NEVER PULSE!!!) RATED IMR18650 Batteries

You should really buy 2 pairs (4 Batteries) 2 in the mod, 2 charged for when you need to charge the 2 in the mod.

Also NEVER, Ever, Ever, EverEverEver buy ICR18650 Batteries This is VERY Important.

ONLY IMR batteries - High Drain IMR18650 25 or 30 amp Continuous (EACH)

 

[VapingN252]

I feel like you got a monster mod that fairly complicated for a beginning coil builder. My best advice is to find a good vape shop and let them advise you at first. Most are willing to teach. If you live near any vape lounges, better. You can have regular folks helping you out without pushing you to buy stuff.

Yeah I miss interpreted what a video said about the batteries for those so yeah I understand that's why I said that

Actually some of these newer subohm tanks like the Smok TVF4 has 0.2 ohm triple coils and 0.15 ohm quad coils and it's a fill and vape tank.
You can take this and a few others over 100 watts and blow clouds just as big as the guy who builds his own coils.
Plus it's a way safer alternative until you get better at building coils.

I was probably going to look into tanks to use until I learn how to do coil wraps to prevent anything lol but I did over shoot on my buy with a 200w but wasn't planning on shooting it too high till I got the hang of it

Thanks would really appreciate it haha and yes that is the one I have Kennedy v2 competition style RDA just need to know what coils are best for my box which hasn't came in yet it runs on kanthal and nickel wire from what I heard and read not sure if others fit on it for the box mod

 

[Mattp169]

FWIW I just started using a mod that needs 18650s about 2 weeks ago, Ive been vaping for over 4 years on egos and isticks, and i didnt know ALL 18650s were rechargeable I thought 18650 was just the size and maybe some type somewhere may not be rechargeable. SO learn something new everyday.

 

[raymo2u]

I would do a ton of research before attempting to build coils...there is a lot to learn. I looked into mods and atty's for almost 3 months before diving in and buying one of each, then I didnt build a coil for another month while researching more into batteries and coiling. After I felt a had a decent grasp on what and what not to do I made my first coil (1.3 Ohm) and I didn't build below .7 until I felt I was safe. I still build mainly between .2-.6 Ohm and use Parallel or Regulated Box when building any lower, I wouldn't vape like this until you understand the basics and understand the risk your taking. There are many videos on safety, many articles on battery safety and limits, many tutorials on coil builds....You just need to research and absorb as much as you can before attempting to do anything.

Hey man, sorry my post came across choppy, for some reason I was having horrendous forum issues last night.

The main point of it was to get you that link that @Huckleberried was kind enough to post for me - lots of good info that's designed to help you get started and answer a lot of the questions that you should obviously be asking.

The majority of 19 year-olds we see around here are vaping because it's cool, not because they've been smoking forever and are trying to quit. Perhaps you're not like most folks that come in here putting cloud chasing ahead of getting off cigarettes, and if so I apologize - to an extent. I still definitely think you need to do a lot more learning before trying to use a high-power mod.

 

[rolltidevaper]

@Smallzvape I think you have received a lot of good information already. The reason you choose to vape is not really my concern, as long as you're of age and are safe. I think that's where most folks on here will advise you. Being "cool" won't matter much if a mod explodes in your face! You've come to a good place to get information on how to vape safely and the post on this thread prove that! Good luck and hopefully we can help you along the way!

Yeah I understand what you mean most do nowadays and thanks I have a lot of research and notes to do on coils and batteries and everythingnwhich I will be doing rather than winging it and hope it works haha

 

[Smallzvape]

Thanks for all the help everyone anymore advice will help me learn more if anymore and thanks

 

[Whiskey]

Have a read at some of the coil and rebuildable threads here , it helps when your starting off, good info in them, Good luck

 

[jamey554]

Hey if anyone can build cat track coils i would buy a set, i work so much i dont have time.

Thank god its not a non regulated stick mod, 3rd degree burns on a 19 yr olds hand is not a good thing, get plenty of time behind ur belt with a safe regulated device.

Yep-I blew out my Hex on one of those, damnit. I just had to add in a donkey raper. I should have known better.

 

[Smallzvape]

Are 40amp batteries imr18650s ok to use? My mod came in the shop I went to only had 40amps? What's the deal on those?

 

[raymo2u]

40A Pulse maybe....There is not a true 40A Continuous Discharge 18650 and any with it printed on it is pure marketing at its finest. Do research on the specific battery and post pics here to see what other peoples experiences are with them. I only trust my face and hands with Samsung 25Rs as they are 20A Continuous Discharge and can be pulsed 100A, which is a lot of headroom for if a mod auto-fires or malfunctions. Don't believe anything on a wrapper, look for test results on batteries, done by 3rd party testers.

sounds familliar...did we communicate on ebay? Anywys, I can build you any type of coil you want. I do braidator variations you wont find anywhere else, all types of originals, custom, anything at all. if you want a sick setup you will need something with huge postholes, i recommend a twisted messes rda.

AWT 18650 batteries are, I believe, perfect. i use them on an unregulated mod (please don't use one until you REALLY know your stuff). batteries have 2 ratings and the only one that actually matters is the CONTINUOUS Amp rating, which means that it can hold at a certain level safely, not just tiny burts. most batteries only give the top rating not continuous. the awt's are rated 40 amp, 35 amp continuous. in the right type of mod it doubles up, so on mine i get 70 amps, so i can basically vape anything. you'll get there but don't rush it. use regulated devices, for safety, and with those you cant vape low enough to get into serious cloud chasing. And, dude.....anyone that asks you a question will know immediately that you're a noob, and they will be harsh. Take your time, work your way up and earn it. it's the only way to vape. buy an ohm reader, order wire from lightning vapes, watch some videos. learn your shit befor you get out there. if you really want to be part of this lifestyle, then respect and protect it with us. One ignorant asshole away from making a pipe bomb (accidentally) and blowing off a kids face and outlawing vaping. I'll help you, free of charge, no questions are dumb. ignore the 3 year vapers, a lot of them like to flaunt their knowledge and act..... like condescending elitists. (no, not all of you are like that, but too many) there are too many opinions and not enough facts in this scene. I can help you cut through the bullshit and even teach you how to make incredible builds, that impress in functionality and in complexity, without offending the passive-aggressive masses or harming yourself.

 

[Johnny2Much]

oh, and on that note.....any recommendations for making coil bus bars? I'm using 20g nichrome 80 but feel like there's a better way....would non-resistance nickel wire work for carrying the current without affecting ohms' too much? thanks oh, and, #doyouevenbraidbro

i agree, these assholes print such shit on these batteries. i went from Sony to AWT, they're nice and not bad around $9 i vape around .07 on the regular and they don't even get warm.

 

[jamey554]

cant wait to install those coils on this plenty of room just got it today just for those coils

 

[Johnny2Much]

nice! If you want some crazy slentre braidators, dual staggered stapled fused claptons, double stapled helix, etc.....let me know. same goes for questions.

Glad you're having luck so far, but this AWT company you speak of is not a manufacturer, they're a re-wrapper. And if they're claiming 35A continuous, they're lying. Period.
