    Building a coil-building station from the ground up.

    Hey VU, So my hands finally got tired enough from hand wrapping single claptons and I want to invest in a workstation to build my own coils. The thing is, I don't know EXACTLY what I need. I know I'll need a drill and some fishing swivels, but that's about it. I've watched many videos online...

So I went ahead and built a parallel coil (I was recommended to do so by the guy from the vape shop where I bought it) and wicked it up before testing for hot...

    Moving Past Cotton: Alternative Wick Materials for Coil Building

    Do you build your own atomizer coils? If you do, it’s likely that you go through a lot of cotton. There are plenty of reasons why cotton is the most popular wick material for coil building. Cotton is inexpensive. It’s a natural material, so many people feel comfortable with it. It doesn’t add...

    First two months, what I've learnt

    Just want to pass on a few things that may help beginners in building and wicking. 1-Youtube is your best friend. Every atomizer is different, they have different personalities and each one needs to be built differently. Best starting point IMHO is youtube, look at the videos of those that...

    What's more important, coil build or wicking tricks, for flavor?

    My go-to build is wrapping SS 316L, 24g, staggered fused claptons. Oh, such flavor. I always build dual coil builds, very low ohm (around 0.11). I get tremendous flavor this way, and they say SS is the most health-conscious wire. So, do you guys think it's more important to make the perfect...

    Digi-Flavor Pilgrim RDTA...The Ultimate Combo?

    DigiFlavor is releasing a new RDTA that looks like the Medusa except a much, much deeper juice well. It has 4 mil juice cap and takes 810/Goon style chuff caps or use the adapter for 510's. I like the concept of dumping juice down onto the coils and it fill a tank at the same time cause I...

    Coils and Steam Engine Don't Match

    When I enter a coil on steam engine, I always get an unreasonable amount of wraps to achieve the desired resistance. For example, I have SS430, 28ga, 3mm ID spaced wraps on a machine screw. I built this using 6/5 wraps. Each coil comes out at .74 which give me .37 when dual on both the 521 I...

    Stainless Steel Gunking Problem

    I've been building my RDAs with SS304 for a while now and have had nothing but good results. The coils seem to last a week or two before get ginky. I recently purchased a Griffin RTA, put the same build on it and WOW, hard to believe that a tank could give such flavor. Around a tank later the...
