Mtdobies Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 I was trying to answer the questions I would ask, beforehand, Lol.
Bushwick Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 I also wrap them as neatly as possible, like MrVince. I like there to be less tidying. I already obsess over my coils enough as it is. If I didn't take the time to wrap them tight, I'd spend more time cleaning up the build than I would doing everything else.
Mtdobies Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 I do make pretty tight neat coils. I'm wondering if its the way I mount them maybe I kink the legs or something.. I'm pretty darn ocd about them. Its a learning process and I'm needing stronger cheater glasses maybe, its working and thats good I guess.
SteezeOG Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 I rewick pretty much daily. Whenever I'm changing juice at least and very rarely do I just keep the same wick with another juice but if I'm going from one melon blend to another company's melon blend I might not bother if the wick is still clean and is a good wick job. Coils it just depends. If I like the build at least a week or two maybe more. Depends on wire too. If I use gplat I don't worry about it and go a month or so if it's working good. If it's single strand kanthal maybe two weeks tops. Maybe 3 weeks if it's twisted kanthal. I dry burn them clean each time I rewick and I also rinse them about once a week or more so it's never an issue of needing to change them. I just do when I want to build and when I want to try another setup or resistance.
Mtdobies Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) Okay I'm gonna admit to complete blindness or stupidity, one coil was wrapped 7 x the other 8, so I'll go get another bread tie and try again.. (giggle) Edited July 22, 2014 by Mtdobies

(giggle) sigh...noobs.... Lol just giving ya **** I've been guilty of it a couple times myself Mtdobies 1
Mtdobies Posted July 23, 2014 Author Posted July 23, 2014 Once a noob always a noob, sigh. I really was expecting a ration, thanks.. I feel so much better. Lmao
crush02342002 Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 yep...iv done it, and posted pics to prove it...lol
Mtdobies Posted July 23, 2014 Author Posted July 23, 2014 Lol! I need a magnifying glass like the huge telescopes have,
SteezeOG Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Never wrapped uneven coils but I did do something stupid that I never thought I would. I saw a few people on a facebook group I used to belong to that forgot to put the top cap on their rda and raised it while firing to take a vape. Hot coil to lips is not good. I laughed at them quietly and thought that would never happen to me. Last week it did. I was spaced out and just raised it to my lips while I was watching a movie and forgot I had it off to soak the wicks. Hurt like hell for a second but it was only one of the coils and very small. It just kind of lightly scabbed over by the next day and peeled off. I felt very stupid though.
Mtdobies Posted July 23, 2014 Author Posted July 23, 2014 Ive read of people doing that, that must have hurt! I have done the same read of someone doing something being preoccupied, kinda shaking my head and yep it happens to me next! Worst part is I knew better lol. So kinda made sense to accept my oops announce it and take the thrashing its part of the fun, makes me feel better laughing at myself I guess. Glad you didn't get hurt too bad.
DragonGunner Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Okay I'm gonna admit to complete blindness or stupidity, one coil was wrapped 7 x the other 8, so I'll go get another bread tie and try again.. (giggle)s. Hahaha....don't worry. I have to use my phone camera after I wrap each coil to take a pic and zoom it in just to make sure that both coils have the same number of wraps. Damn old eyes...I can shoot a fly's turd at 15 meters but seeing a coil up close makes my eyes to go crossed.
Mtdobies Posted July 23, 2014 Author Posted July 23, 2014 Exactly, I wonder if scopes made my eyes lazy, its the excuse I'll now use though nicer then I'm old which is the fact. And I tried the camera on the phone too lol, its got a lousy focus and zoom.
Mtdobies Posted July 23, 2014 Author Posted July 23, 2014 You have my attention, where can they be acquired?
mvince201 Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 No idea as far as b&m. But they are easy to find online for various prices ranging ffrom $10 to $200 and up. I would just type jewelers glasses into Google and see what you come up with
Mtdobies Posted July 23, 2014 Author Posted July 23, 2014 Super thx, now I wish I'd kept my uncles...
mvince201 Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I hair a pair I use ocassionally. Fortunately.I don't need them often yet lol
Mtdobies Posted July 23, 2014 Author Posted July 23, 2014 I'm using cheaters more and more these days magnifying glasses would be perfect.
