Likewise, on the clumsy! I've been building coils since about 3 months after I started vaping, mainly because the "Protank" heads just blow; had more duds out of the box than I could shake a stick at. And also, the Protank heads (which I used in a T3S, but it's very similar) really don't provide much flavor, and as thin as my very-high-PG juice is, those attys/coils are horrible; the juice just runs right out the bottom, unless you wick it to death, then you get dry hits.
Someone said, if you can rebuild those tiny Protank heads, a Kayfun will be a piece of cake, and give you at least twice as much flavor. So I got one, then I got 3 or 4 more.
I'm not sure I'd call it a piece of cake, but it's damn sure not rocket surgery.
And it did give me a GREAT deal more flavor!
But I did spend my first month or two as a vaper swearing up and down and sideways that I would NEVER EVER build my own coils. Mainly because I really had no idea how easy it is, but one night, just for shits and grins, I wrapped a wire around something, I fergit now what it was... maybe a screwdriver... but it certainly wasn't hard to wrap wire around something. When I got the real kanthal, and appropriated several of my husband's drillbits, then I went to
http://www.steam-engine.org/ And started trying to figure out what resistance I wanted, what size drillbit to use, etc. All I can say is thank god for Steam-engine.
