You sir are awesome! I know you very rarely reply to messages, but I hope you at least read this. I smoked 2.5 packs of cigs a day pretty much since I was 17 years old. I am now 47. It is because of your advice and steering me in the right direction that I am now tobacco free for 152 days and counting! It was the MVP battery and Nautilus tank that finally got me off cigs, and it was your reviews that steered me to them. Then I went with a Russian 91% at your advice, and loved it! And then went with a Cloupor clone of the DNA 30 for even more watts and power, although I rarely went above 10 watts...lol! And then your SquapeR video intrigued me and I managed to get an authentic, and its AWESOME!!! I don't want to sound dramatic, but you probably saved my life. Seriously. Thank you.
Hey Rip, because of your videos, I am now into rebuildables. I purchased a nemesis mechanical mod, plume veil RDA, efest 35 amp 18650 battery, and 24 gauge kanthal. Thank you for putting out these videos. It gave me the confidence to get into this new world of flavor, clouds, and fun. Keep it up!
Hey man I just wanted to let you know how appreciated you are. I was in a B&M shop recently and I brought up your channel and the woman clammed to have met you/know you I don't really remember but so many of these tutorials are like 97 hours long of some guy droning on with awful views and within minutes I'm bored. You're tutorials and reviews are the most informative, entertaining, and fun to watch that I have ever come across. Thank you on behalf of someone who is still relatively new to the building process (but smoke free since February WOO HOO!l). I never feel stupid or left out for not knowing what you're teaching. I'm not sure if you get paid or sponsored or anything but it is a crying shame if you don't. I recommend you to EVERYBODY I know when they first leave the dark side and come over to the wonderful worlds of clouds and coils. Thanks buddy.
I would really like to see a tutorial on wicking techniques and strategies for flavor vs. vapor production! I know you can't show every single type of coil due to video length, but I've been experimenting and watching your videos and wonder where your motivation comes from and what you're looking for. Thanks again for another great video!
It's all subjective so his tastes may not be yours. You have to test different settings. It's a compromise between flavour, vapor production and the amount of power you like.
Axel AZ not absolutely true : I have an old vamo v3 modded to run with a 9V AC/DC adapter and there is a different sensation when I use it with an IMR battery than the adapter with the same wattage setting. It's odd and maybe relative to the chip but some people claims that a serial mounting of two batteries gives a different vaping experience on a regulated mod. Nevertheless, I was talking in general, including mechanical mods in the equation :)
Axel AZ That's nice at 50 watts but if it's not your taste of power you have to make different coil settings. :) So the difference with series is because of the chipset, booster v/s stepdown, it makes sense :)
taste and vapor production wasnt what i ment by that, i ment how 28g kanthal has a higher resistance then 26 and 5 wraps has less resistance then 6, safety , ect
I love you enthusiasm. I was using a protank setup for like a year and finally moved up to a Kayfun RTA. Even without knowing anyone that really vapes to help, I have been blown away by the results. I am totally following your series. Thanks guy.
+dylan welch that's because they are a different chemistry. The downside to them is that when things go wrong they don't just vent. They are more likely to go straight to flames.
I'm glad that your going back to the basics for all the new guys coming into this. Greatly appreciate your dedication to help keep people from smoking.
What I did with the needle, is that I did several layers of tape where the prick of the needle is. And what that did, was basically make a lip like the screwdrivers had, so you can or could have more leverage. Just a heads up if you haven't already tried this.
What I'd like to see is a 101 on the following: Why make macro vs micro vs nano? Does the wrap diameter effect surface area? What are pros and cons of more or less surface area or less? How does length of the coil effect the vape? The wattage needed? What is the common "proper" way to wick each type? When/why is it better to wick through the hole as opposed to around it? How much coil should be exposed? Where should your air hole point? Just some suggestions for next time... thanks Rip!
I've heard reports of the wrap diameter greatly affecting the flavour and wicking of the coils so if people have trouble with dry hits, cotton not wicking then they should increase the diameter "supposedly".
EpicBunty wouldn't you just be strangling the wick if you built too narrow a diameter coil? Hence building a larger diameter coil for, say, a max vg juice versus what you might build for a thinner juice?
exactly. and if sub ohming, a larger diameter coil would also increase juice flow to the coil i would say. my juice is too pg to try it right now but after my shipment of 80% VG juices i'll confirm all of this (if i remember!)
RiP Trippers keep doing your videos bro I've been vaping mechanical mods for about a year now thought i had it mastered but your videos are opening all new doors to the vaping community and my vaping experience thanks man keep on chuckin 😤
"Close as possible" is not a rule of the thumb. In fact it doesn't heat up quicker or better as long as you space it perfectly(just easier to crunch them together). But with having space between your wraps(equally spaced), they do not build nearly as much gunk over use. Which is a HUGE plus to me. It's rather simple. Just wrap and space the wraps apart equally as possible. Then instead of heating(Do not heat) Simply squish the coil with your fingers and let it spring back out. All the benefits of "close as possible" with the added benefit of not gunking up as quick. I wonder what this gunk does inside me...
Hey RiP just wanted to let you know that I started vaping two months ago and if it wasn't for your TH-cam videos I would kinda be lost so wanted to throw you a shout out. Electrician by trade so I'm handy but still u the man and u saved me some $$$$
Hey Rip big fan of your videos. I have been Vaping for years but never had luck with building until I found your channel. Micro coils and cotton changed my life, thanks for all the great videos. -Reece
While everybody is so into sub0ohming, I need to build coils above 1.2 Ohms, potentially up to 2.0+ ohms.Love to see this video done for building higher ohm coils. Love the Riip Trippers! Neil Fallon's brother from another Mother. :-)
Thought I'd hit you up before you do a wicking tut. I just figured out a great material! Untreated sterile medical 4x4 "universal sponges". They are 100% cotton and sterile and best of all are quilted for absorption of fluids. Been using them for little while now and sop up every drop and never run dry early on chain vapes. I cut about 1x1.5" piece and roll it into a rod and just slide it through. Of course the width will change with the inner diameter of your coil. BUT why am I so excited about it? I'm running an extra wide coil, twisted 28 and 10 wraps on a 5/64. Cotton was drying up in the middle and burning off. When I'd pull the cotton there would be nothing left in the middle. With the medical gauze 4x4s being so absorbent I don't get that. It is awesome and you should check it out!
Hey Rip. I'm a Vaper myself as well as an employee at a vape shop. I had the same issues with the fact that sonys where coming off the market. So the owner of the company I work for brought in the new Efest LI-MN 35 amp 18650s and they rock dude. They definitely last longer than sonys and I've never had an issue with them so far. I'm a huge fan and love you're videos. Just thought I would let you know about those batteries and also wanted to say to keep doing what you're doing
Put the sharp end of the needle into a cork with some glue. Wait for it dry and boom! Have some leverage then for wrapping nano coils same as with a screwdriver
Thanks for this video rip! I explain to my friends and associate about 50 times a day on how to build coils. Now I can just forward this video! You da man Tipster! Stay hard my friend!
guys chill...always discussing about his personality, while none of you knows him in person. he just gives perfect information how to do it right...all this internet hate really sux
Your videos are awesome! I have gotten 5 of my friends into the vapelife and whenever they want to learn how to build I send them to your channel. Thanks for everything RiP!
good Vid Sir. One thing I would like to mention that WILL help with your super nano coil is to use a Pin vise to hold the needle, it not only holds the needle great (with the hollow style you can put the point of the needle inside the handle) but it also gives you the shoulder to work against . And you can get a pin vise on ebay for a lot less than $10 (just be sure you get the right size).
Hey rip thanks so much for these tutorials. Just got my first mod and rda today and im so thankful for the help. Also just got to say my first build worked perfect and clocked in at .5 ohms.
Hey Rip love these video's as I introduce a lot of my family into vaping, and then they all ask on how to build on RDA's eventually. One suggestion though on the Super Nano coils. Go to home-depot and pick yourself up a 4 or 5 dollar drill chuck or even one for a Dremil tool (just a smaller chuck really, and usually cheaper). You then can use that chuck to hold the Needle and give you leverage.
Nice video for people just starting out...One of the things I use to wrap nano coils is body piercing jewelry. You can get it in any small gauge and use a straight bar with one bead off of it. Just clamp on the jewelry with some forceps for a grip, wrap your coil and press it to the other bead to make it tight. If I use a needle I usually stick it in a wine cork for safety and for gripping. Cheers, N8knox
I've been using the Samsung 25R. I love it; better battery life, faster charge, and slower power drop than the vtc4 or 5. Plus they're widely available for $15 while the vtcs are $20. Deffinately give them a try!
just wanna share a tip if you can't wrap your coils tightly to the screwdrivers or the needles, just put both end of the coil at the same side and just pull it together it will tighten your coil to your screw drivers or needles if your coils is not more than 7-8 wraps
FYI RiP. The batteries that have taken over are the IMREN 18650 38A high drain and the Vamped 18650 40A high drain. Those two are ***IMO*** the best on the market at the moment. The only other one I have vaguely heard of is some efest battery, but I have no info on it atm.
Thanks for the video. Now I understand how to build coils for the RBA in my Silo Beast. One suggestion, stick the needle in a cork. You’ll have something to wrap against.🔥👍🏽
One "tool" I found for making coils for kanger devices was a ball filling tip. Like for filling a basketball. They are super cheap and just about the right size.
You should have made a part about why people would use a that kind of coil like why someone would use a super nano or a macro and the pros and cons of using that set up
For Cloud Chasers 301, have you looked at the Imren 3.6v 38A 2600mAH? This battery has performed solid for me at sub-ohm. No heat, no gassing, good life.
For holding the needle for super nano coils, get a pin vice. So much easier. If you get some varkious sized rods from needle sized to 2.5mm a pin vice is a great coil building jig
Just made my first coil ever with some organic cotton, and I gotta say if it wasn't for this video I would had been very very confused, so thank you so much for making this expirience so easy, and my first coil turned out to be impressive! Im so proud of myself lol pat on my back.
The more wraps the higher the resistance or "ohms". With that being said. A single coil with 8 wraps of 24g equals about 0.9 ohms. But if you wrap two coils the same it pretty much cuts the ohms in half. So single .8 ohms would be .4 dual coils. My favorite so far is a dual 24g coil with 5wraps around a 1.5mm post. Equals around .2 ohms. Wicked through each coil. Very very thick large clouds
The company that "produces" purple Efests purchases and rewraps the batteries that LG and Sony consider are not up to par (in terms of quality and/or performance) with the batteries that they do wrap and sell.
If you want to name your coils by metric prefix it would be milli, micro, nano then pico. Just sounds better than sub nano and make more sense as well.
Hey rip I no u don't need it and may seem unnecessary but you should check out a coil jig if you haven't already. I'm curious to see what you think of it! Keep doing what your doing man love the videos! Regardless what people are saying you definitely have the best quality videos out there! With reviews and tutorials haters are easy to come by when you cover everything a vapor needs! And man your good at it!
ProTip for wrapping a super nano coil. You know the needle tips that you can get on your juice bottles, BOOM, A nice fat plastic end to grip, and a perfect length of the needle tip to wrap your wire.
Awesome videos, love your channel. Very helpful, I appreciate what your doing for the community.... just a little tip, I'd if you've thought about it.. but a little bit of music playing softly in the background would add a lot of entertainment quality to your vids.. When the vids get silent and what not
when using the needle, stick an old wine bottle cork on the end. #1 it covers the sharp point. #2 it gives you the lip you desire for leverage. Keep up the awesome vids!
MNKE 20A 18650's are pretty commonly accepted as being very good for cloud chasing. They have a 60A max draw (pulse), I have one and often vape sub ohm (mostly .2ohm) and the battery doesn't even get warm. I haven't bothered looking for new batteries because these are so good. I hear they're going out of production soon though, they might be replaced with something even better.
know this is old but what about sticking the point of the needle into a pencil eraser that has been removed from the the pencil top? keeps you from getting poked and gives you something to wrap against. or even locking the needle into a locking pliers or vise grips. love your videos!!! thanks so much for all the help!!!!
Macrocoils tends to need a bit of time to warm up correctly, like a diesel engine, but it can be nullified by increasing power. The higher your resistance is, the longer is the time to heat the coil so if you don't perform subohming don't go too far on diameter. You have to do some coil building experimentation to find the one you prefer for a specific atomiser. Rebuildable atty is really an « à la carte » vaping :)
i use a pair of vice grips to hold onto a needle, cuz then i can use the end of it as a lip to push the coil again, and if i have it tight enough it cant make it a lot easier to hold onto
For the needle get a wooden dowel and carefulli hammer the needle through it so you get that lip. It works amazing. Careful when you hammer it in though you dont want to bend the needle
Hey rip, you should check out the MXJO batteries or the new boost batteries. Both are HARD hitters. The boost are 40 amps and they last an hit hard until it's dead. Some badass batteries forsure!!
Thanks for the vid. I just bought my first rebuildable the other day. What a difference. I love it. I'm having my local vape shop help me until I'm 100% comfortable building.
Thanks so much for the great video Rip. I have to admit that after over a year of vaping, I just haven't made the jump into coil building. I always figured it was just too damn hard, Especially for someone my age, 54. After watching this video 3 times, I think that even I, might be able to pull it off. The one huge thing that is holding me back is, The dreaded OHM'S LAW!!! My old brain just can't figure that bad boy out. I lost a lot of brain cells in the 70's. lol Thanks again.
Good video, it would be the tits if you explained more about how the number of wraps and gauge effects the ohms of the coil/coils. Also, any chance you could put all of your build videos into a playlist? \m/ keep on rockn' man!
Hey rip, can you make a video on the difference macro, micro and nano. I mean i know the size of the kanthal are different and stuff but what's the different functions and about size of wrap. I don't get it, and maybe a few others don't get it either. I love watching your videos btw, your reviews and tutorials awesome and that's why I hope you can teach us difference. Thanks 😬👌
Question to all! let me get this straight the thicker the wire and the more coils the greater the resistance.So why is it that when you add a second coil it lowers the resistance? you would think a .7 ohm coil plus another .7 ohm coil would be 1.4 ohms but it becomes less resistant to .35 ohms I'm not understanding that. Help please
thats because they are added parallely, parallel circuit will share the resistance between coil.. all the rta,rda etc are built for parallel circuit. one way in one way out.. series circuit on the other hand is opposite that.. each coil will have their own circuit.. not one way in one way out.. damn i would be a good teacher.. huhu
Lower resistance coils are nice on mechanical mods. The lower the resistance the quicker the coil "fires". I feel like if you are using a a mech mod you should be sub-ohming. If you buy a mechanical mod you obviously want more performance than a starter pen or whatever. But with that being said you need to know enough about coils, batteries, mods etc.
This is gonna b hard to put into words that r understandable, but I'm gonna try anyway. When I do the nano on the needle, I start out like u did with the kanthol at an angle. But I place my index finger in between the needle and the wire and hold down the wire with my thumb and sorta create that lip a handle of a screw driver gives u. It really makes it easier for me to get good tension on the kanthol when wrapping. If u read this and r saying, "what the hell is he talking about" and rreally want to know what I'm getting at u can let me know and I can try to get u a video of me doing it, but u seem to have a pretty great system that works for u already. Love u channel. Thanks.
How many turns to make a particular coil? Turns of coil differ for different purposes? For different atomizers? With different gauges? This should also be discussed and explained.
I know that this video was put out quite a while ago but I found the precision screw driver set it included 1.4, 2.0, 2.4, and 3.0 mm sized screw drivers at dollar general for $1 plus tax. Just thought I would share.

you should go over how resistance works. (different size wire, size of coil, duel compared to single, ect)
It's all subjective so his tastes may not be yours. You have to test different settings. It's a compromise between flavour, vapor production and the amount of power you like.
PainterVierax if you are using a regulated device like the ipv3 or sigelei 100w, power isn't an option, it's mostly then vapor and flavor production.

how to have a vaping channel 101:

Not that I needed to really watch this but I did anyway you did good at showing newer Vapers good tips. Keep doing what your doing man.
Oh cool. Thanks for showing how many wraps you do.
just wanna share a tip if you can't wrap your coils tightly to the screwdrivers or the needles, just put both end of the coil at the same side and just pull it together
it will tighten your coil to your screw drivers or needles if your coils is not more than 7-8 wraps
You should touch on the difference between macro, micro, nana and super nano coils. What are the pros and cons of each. Cool series!
This guy is awesome. Tons of help. Thanks mate!
for the super nano or nano, or any time you have trouble holding the screwdriver/needle. a set of vice grips can really make life 10x easier.
FYI RiP. The batteries that have taken over are the IMREN 18650 38A high drain and the Vamped 18650 40A high drain. Those two are ***IMO*** the best on the market at the moment. The only other one I have vaguely heard of is some efest battery, but I have no info on it atm.

Nice Rip. Its very helpful for Us, noobs , who watch your videos a long time ago.
You should have made a part about why people would use a that kind of coil like why someone would use a super nano or a macro and the pros and cons of using that set up
almost 2 years later and Sony VTC 4 are still easy to come by.
Thanks Trip. Looking forward to the next in the series. 👍😆
For Cloud Chasers 301, have you looked at the Imren 3.6v 38A 2600mAH? This battery has performed solid for me at sub-ohm. No heat, no gassing, good life.
For holding the needle for super nano coils, get a pin vice. So much easier. If you get some varkious sized rods from needle sized to 2.5mm a pin vice is a great coil building jig
for the nano coils you could use a syringe needle so you also have the leverage :)
Very informative. I'm thinking of starting builds and this was handy.
Just made my first coil ever with some organic cotton, and I gotta say if it wasn't for this video I would had been very very confused, so thank you so much for making this expirience so easy, and my first coil turned out to be impressive! Im so proud of myself lol pat on my back.
The more wraps the higher the resistance or "ohms". With that being said. A single coil with 8 wraps of 24g equals about 0.9 ohms. But if you wrap two coils the same it pretty much cuts the ohms in half. So single .8 ohms would be .4 dual coils. My favorite so far is a dual 24g coil with 5wraps around a 1.5mm post. Equals around .2 ohms. Wicked through each coil. Very very thick large clouds
Purple efest 18650 is what I use for almost everything.
Same here
But those are just rewraps of B-grade LGs and Sonys.
And rip clearly stated he's looking into an easier battery than the VTC 4/5. But around the same quality.
The company that "produces" purple Efests purchases and rewraps the batteries that LG and Sony consider are not up to par (in terms of quality and/or performance) with the batteries that they do wrap and sell.
So how are these a bad alternative?
You should really finish this series! I would greatly appreciate it ^-^ (as would many of your viewers)
i use 22 gauge kanthal wrapped 6 times around a 1/8th drill screwdriver and that throws killer clouds with loads of flavor it ohms out at 0.01 ohms
If you want to name your coils by metric prefix it would be milli, micro, nano then pico. Just sounds better than sub nano and make more sense as well.
Little advice: If you don't have a screw driver get some cork and drill the drill bit into the cork... leverage.
Needed to go back to basics and watch this video!
Hey rip I no u don't need it and may seem unnecessary but you should check out a coil jig if you haven't already. I'm curious to see what you think of it! Keep doing what your doing man love the videos! Regardless what people are saying you definitely have the best quality videos out there! With reviews and tutorials haters are easy to come by when you cover everything a vapor needs! And man your good at it!
ProTip for wrapping a super nano coil. You know the needle tips that you can get on your juice bottles, BOOM, A nice fat plastic end to grip, and a perfect length of the needle tip to wrap your wire.
Thanks for the video!! Newb here to RDA's so this will help out a lot!
Awesome videos, love your channel. Very helpful, I appreciate what your doing for the community.... just a little tip, I'd if you've thought about it.. but a little bit of music playing softly in the background would add a lot of entertainment quality to your vids.. When the vids get silent and what not
when using the needle, stick an old wine bottle cork on the end. #1 it covers the sharp point. #2 it gives you the lip you desire for leverage. Keep up the awesome vids!
MNKE 20A 18650's are pretty commonly accepted as being very good for cloud chasing. They have a 60A max draw (pulse), I have one and often vape sub ohm (mostly .2ohm) and the battery doesn't even get warm. I haven't bothered looking for new batteries because these are so good. I hear they're going out of production soon though, they might be replaced with something even better.
know this is old but what about sticking the point of the needle into a pencil eraser that has been removed from the the pencil top? keeps you from getting poked and gives you something to wrap against. or even locking the needle into a locking pliers or vise grips. love your videos!!! thanks so much for all the help!!!!
Please discuss what coils work best on a mechanical mod, particularly how to build coils to heat either instantly or slower.
Macrocoils tends to need a bit of time to warm up correctly, like a diesel engine, but it can be nullified by increasing power. The higher your resistance is, the longer is the time to heat the coil so if you don't perform subohming don't go too far on diameter.
You have to do some coil building experimentation to find the one you prefer for a specific atomiser. Rebuildable atty is really an « à la carte » vaping :)
i use a pair of vice grips to hold onto a needle, cuz then i can use the end of it as a lip to push the coil again, and if i have it tight enough it cant make it a lot easier to hold onto
Great video, thanks, I love wrapping coils.
thanks a lot to give the dimensions in both metric and imperial
Can you go over resistance also? Like how many wraps will give you so many ohms and different gauges of wires? That would be extremely helpful!
I've been watching your videos and they're pretty good, pretty educational and honest reviews. thumbs up, keep it up mate
For the needle get a wooden dowel and carefulli hammer the needle through it so you get that lip. It works amazing. Careful when you hammer it in though you dont want to bend the needle
Don't forget to clean your tools before using it. There's usually some type of grease on them and you don't wanna vape that.
Hey Rip..you shoud do a video on your whole vape collection ... that woild be awesome!
Hey rip, you should check out the MXJO batteries or the new boost batteries. Both are HARD hitters. The boost are 40 amps and they last an hit hard until it's dead. Some badass batteries forsure!!
Thanks for the vid. I just bought my first rebuildable the other day. What a difference. I love it. I'm having my local vape shop help me until I'm 100% comfortable building.
In this series please go over the difference between bg coils and smaller.coils so a nano compared to macro id like to know
Thanks so much for the great video Rip. I have to admit that after over a year of vaping, I just haven't made the jump into coil building. I always figured it was just too damn hard, Especially for someone my age, 54. After watching this video 3 times, I think that even I, might be able to pull it off. The one huge thing that is holding me back is, The dreaded OHM'S LAW!!! My old brain just can't figure that bad boy out. I lost a lot of brain cells in the 70's. lol Thanks again.
Thank you for this video. I'm just getting into building my own coils and this is very helpful.
The only thing is I wish he would of went over why he squishes the coils tight, instead of have the wraps spaced apart.
Give the Samsung 25R's a try! They are a dream.
Hey rip try using a drill insert the bits in backwards with the wire and wrap slow
Nails. cheap, doing their job, and variable in all imaginable sizes.
Good video, it would be the tits if you explained more about how the number of wraps and gauge effects the ohms of the coil/coils. Also, any chance you could put all of your build videos into a playlist? \m/ keep on rockn' man!
great tutorial precision screwdrivers are all i use. They are cheap and way easier than an actual drill bit.
Easy peazy what a sleazy!!
Anybody else notice when he said "cloud chasers are you listening" he kind of sounded like kermit the frog
You should make a video for the do's and don'ts of nickel coil builds
Hey rip, can you make a video on the difference macro, micro and nano. I mean i know the size of the kanthal are different and stuff but what's the different functions and about size of wrap. I don't get it, and maybe a few others don't get it either. I love watching your videos btw, your reviews and tutorials awesome and that's why I hope you can teach us difference. Thanks 😬👌
Question to all! let me get this straight the thicker the wire and the more coils the greater the resistance.So why is it that when you add a second coil it lowers the resistance? you would think a .7 ohm coil plus another .7 ohm coil would be 1.4 ohms but it becomes less resistant to .35 ohms I'm not understanding that. Help please
thats because they are added parallely, parallel circuit will share the resistance between coil.. all the rta,rda etc are built for parallel circuit. one way in one way out.. series circuit on the other hand is opposite that.. each coil will have their own circuit.. not one way in one way out.. damn i would be a good teacher.. huhu
Lower resistance coils are nice on mechanical mods. The lower the resistance the quicker the coil "fires". I feel like if you are using a a mech mod you should be sub-ohming. If you buy a mechanical mod you obviously want more performance than a starter pen or whatever. But with that being said you need to know enough about coils, batteries, mods etc.
Thanks for all the help
This is gonna b hard to put into words that r understandable, but I'm gonna try anyway. When I do the nano on the needle, I start out like u did with the kanthol at an angle. But I place my index finger in between the needle and the wire and hold down the wire with my thumb and sorta create that lip a handle of a screw driver gives u. It really makes it easier for me to get good tension on the kanthol when wrapping. If u read this and r saying, "what the hell is he talking about" and rreally want to know what I'm getting at u can let me know and I can try to get u a video of me doing it, but u seem to have a pretty great system that works for u already. Love u channel. Thanks.
How many turns to make a particular coil? Turns of coil differ for different purposes? For different atomizers? With different gauges? This should also be discussed and explained.
I know that this video was put out quite a while ago but I found the precision screw driver set it included 1.4, 2.0, 2.4, and 3.0 mm sized screw drivers at dollar general for $1 plus tax. Just thought I would share.
use a pair of vice grip's to hold the needle and you'll be able to have a lip to start against.
I use the Efest 18650 at 2500 maH and 35 amps and it works just fine
Hey RiP, We re-sell some great batteries! You should look for the Efan 60amp(30ampc) Or the Imren 38amp/40amp. I use these and they're awesome!
Great videos! Am I the only person at the start of this video thinks that RIP sounds like Kermit the frog haha!
He looks and sounds like willy from duck dynasty
for the nano coils you can wrap it around a hookah poker by fumari fyi
Oh, and how are the different coil gaiges and turns related to expected ohm readings? Sorry for all the questions.
The Beard is already back. That is great haha!
