Want to rebuild pro tank single attys.

[VapeHappy]

What wire size should I get?

What rope size too, :?)

For about 1.5 to 1.8 ohm.

I would measure, but it would mean tearing up a new atty, :?(

TIA,

Randall

Use a coil building calculator to find your desired resistance. Enter either 30 or 32 gauge kanthal and your target resistance. Will tell you exactly how many wraps to do!

Wick it with organic cotton. Much better flavor!

There is already a sticky on this very topic with detailed instructions

Yes I have, I use 30ga for my standard coils and a 18ga blunt needle. The only difference is I use cotton for the wick so I can replace it more easily after I pull the old one out and dry burn it. Doing this makes it like a fresh coil. I also heat compress the coil like you would for a micro and use 8-9 wraps for a 2.0 to 1.8 ohm coil.

Here is a wrap list I started and am still working on for ohm ranges

KPT Micro Coil on a 18ga Blunt Needle

5 wraps = 1.2-3

6 wraps = 1.4-5

7 wraps = 1.6-7

8 wraps = 1.8-9*

9 wraps = 2.0-1*

10 wraps = 2.2-3*

11 wraps = 2.4-5

12 wraps = 2.6-7

13 wraps = 2.8-9

14 wraps = 3.0-1

Just some extra info you find helpful.

A whoops. Cant see the forest for the trees sometimes. Thanks guys,

And thank you Comp for the extra info, much appreciated.

OK, Going to order some wire and wick, will be looking for cotton once I get a KF.

The first thing on your shopping list should be a dedicated ohm meter if you don't already have one.

[VapeHappy]

Right on Rix, thank you. That`s just the 411 I was looking for. I had seen your tute, but was being, ahem, lazy in my research, LOL.

Thanks Tam, its on the short list.

Hey Rix, loving on some Toby Mac right now.

Then its on to some Grits, :?)
