Tam Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 You say you're building your own coils? What ohms are you showing after you build them? Also, at what voltage are you vaping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compenstine Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) Like Tameiki said sounds like your putting to much power to your coil. I would have to ask the same... What is the ohm reading of your coil? What are you using for wicking? I assume silica... Edited December 1, 2013 by Compenstine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookahhighness Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 My pen can go from 3.3 to 4.8 volts and idk the ohms my reader is in the mailMy pen can go from 3.3 to 4.8 volts and idk the ohms my reader is in the mail and yes silica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Especially as a newbie, it's important to check the ohms of your coils when rebuilding. Safety and all that. How many wraps are you using on the coils? At this point I would suggest you use premade coils to start with so you can begin vaping and stick with it. Once you're more experienced, then you can rebuild your own. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hookahhighness Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 What's a good site to buy pre made coil unitsAnd what's a good ohm range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Four wraps on top and three on the bottom? If so, that's probably why you're getting a burned taste to your juices. The ohms are too low that even the Spinner can't go low enough on the voltage. If you must rebuild your own coils, I'd go 5/4 at the minimum. Five on top, four on the bottom. I'd even go 6/5 to get a higher resistance so you can use a higher voltage without getting the burnt taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 What's a good site to buy pre made coil units And what's a good ohm range http://www.discountvapers.com/kanger-protank-coil-heads/ Discount Vapers has 5-pack of coils at a great price. If I were you I'd go with either 1.8 ohm or 2.2 ohm heads. If you can swing it I'd get one of each and try them both out to see which one works better for you. With the 2.2 ohms you can use higher voltage without the burned taste much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookahhighness Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 I got 3.0 ohm heads coming in how should I wrap that and btw you guys are awesome i love the help really do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Since I'm fairly new to rebuilding coils some of the other more experienced members would give you a more accurate answer. For me, that's when I would tell you that an ohm meter/checker would come in handy so you can test your coil to see what ohm you have it wrapped at. hookahhighness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
