Hadaly RDA - Building

Something interesting I heard on one of sirvape's live vids. Is to be careful when using a brush to clean coils especially when cleaning higher gage wire as the brush can damage this wire. Especially with exotic coils like aliens etc where the outer wire is made of a extremely high gage. Think the interview was with @RiaanRed he said dry burning and waiting for the coils to cool (not red hot but still hot) and then rinse with cold water work's best for prolonged coil life.

Thank you for this @Friep
 
Have a look at the link below from @Kaos


Great video, I’m going to do this! Thanks @joeman187.

Question for anyone who can answer:

Just for safety purposes (I saw it caught fire a little bit in the video) can I pull the cotton out first, and then dry burn the coils instead of dry burning while the cotton is still in the coil?

Definitely remove the cotton first.

Just another tip @Carnival
If you put out the cotton and then dry fire it, there is often some juice on the coils
Just be careful, dont hold it too close to your eyes, sometimes that juice can "splatter" and its hot.
Like boiling little droplets of juice.

So those first few pulses, do it at least arms length away. Or wear glasses ;-)

Same applies after rinsing in water and then pulsing afterward

take cotton out. heat coil up it will clow it might burn as well. do it 2 3 times til no clouds come of then glow it again rinse it water. repeat. u can also after water rinse use a small wire brush (i need one) till no burnt particulars are left. cool down wig up and vape. ps hold coil wen pulling old wig out.

Don't forget, don't rinse until its cooled off, rapidly heating and cooling changes the wires propeties, becareful of that, also I would recommend a toothbrush rather than a metal brush, expecially when using pre-polished wire, it takes away the polish and it also acts like sand paper it might leave some filings behind.

@Carnival I hope you enjoy the new experience of rebuilding, if you ever need help don't hesitate to pm, I'll try and help wherever I can ;)

@akhalz thank you kindly for the advice! Using a toothbrush does make more sense to me as oppose to a wire brush. And thanks for the pm offer, very nice of you. :)

Good advice @akhalz. . A mistake I made alot and then ruin coils. . I also heat until it glow and once glow goes away I quickly rinse under running water and repeat only if necessary. I've only also ever used a toothbrush as I feel safer . Metal on metal isn't always a good thing but also only necessary if I use juices that have lotsa sweetner lol otherwise it's rinse burn off water and rewick

Oh wow. This Hadaly seems outstanding !!!

Fitted the non bf pin. And didn't have to build anything. It had an alien preinstalled by @Amir.

So I just wicked and lubed it up

And here it is on the Minikin V1.5. Nice and compact

@Amir sent me some of his Brainfreeze XXX blend. In a XXX bottle ;-)

So how's the first vape?

Well it's very very good. Airflow is restricted lung. Flavour is rich and pure. Can feel its got good "definition" of the flavour. It's very good. I can see myself enjoying this Hadaly.

I don't know the juice. Well I know XXX but not Brainfreeze. This blend with Brainfreeze is very nice @Amir! Cool and fruity and refreshing.

Am vaping at 35 to 40 Watts. Driptip gets a bit too hot for me but I need to experiment more.

It's a lovely atty and I am very glad I got it. Going to use it for testing juices and DIY blends.

@KZOR I can see why you like this atty ;-)

Congrats! Still my favourite RDA. Is that an authentic @Silver ?

It is brilliant. No-one will ever convince me otherwise. It just suites my vaping style like the glass slipper fit Cinderella's foot. :)
Airflow is perfect, flavour heavenly, looks great, tons of customizable options, fantastic machining and building friendly on top of everything as well.
So glad you also finding enjoyment in this atty .... definitely one of the seven wonders of the vaping world. :)

You were a very important part of me deciding to go for this -

Can you do me a favour and just look at the post screw assembly in my photos above
It looks as if the one side is a bit skew.
When i took out the bf pin to put in the non bf pin, i saw something moving on top, but i think it was the other side where the insulator is, not the side that looks skew in the photo

I looked at both sides and they look very similar, asif they jutting a bit inward, if you know what i mean

Not sure if thats how its supposed to be. Maybe i wasnt supposed to take out the bf pin while a coil was installed. Lol.

Lol .... both my authentics does exactly the same thing and both are the same post as yours. I also watched quite a few reviews where this popped up. It did not make building on it any harder and sure as hell had no influence on the flavour so i never gave it another thought. :)
 
@KZOR
I know you like your framed but have you ever put a "normal" round wire coil into the Hadaly?
If so, how does it compare?
Any thoughts?

I am looking for a crisper vape and while the flavour on this alien at 0.2 ohms is very, very good - i am thinking of trying 26g or 28g SS normal round wire. What ID? Will 2.5mm be ok?

@Silver, I am currently running one of my Hadaly's with 24ga Ni80 round wire, 3mm ID, flavour is spot on and the drip tip doesn't get so hot. 26ga SS316 will also do the job. If you have 24 ga flat wire like Flapton 60 the flavour will definitely knock your socks off. Good investment. Now we must get you a good regulated squonker.

There is your first problem. The Hadaly was brought into this world with one solemate as part if his destiny and that solemate goes by the name "Framed Staple". When a person uses the Hadaly and gives the opinion " very,very good" then we have a problem. Words like amazing, fantastic, brilliant and so forth should be uttered when the Hadaly is treated, caressed and dressed in the correct manner. :)

Jokes aside ...... i will try a simple 24ga build only if you try a framed staple. :)

Thanks @Petrus - much appreciated
Looks like i have a lot of experimentation on the cards for this atty
I dont have flat wire, will have to get some to try, have heard a lot about this flapton wire but never tried it
Thanks again

Yeah, regulated mod next, baby steps
But it has to be "Reo" rugged and "Reo" simple. Hehe
And i dont like soft bottles. Neither do i want to put them in with tweezers!!
:D
 
@KZOR, I agree. The Hadaly is definitely one of my best RDA's. The best investment was after I bought mine I ordered two more.

That was classic @KZOR !
Lol

I definitely would like to try a framed staple, but the best chance i have of making one is to take out one of the staples from my desk stapler and framing it with a spare picture frame :rolleyes:

Glad you’re off to a good start @Silver. Take note of the coil height as well as the width for your next build. A neat coil is a tasty coil

I find the heat issue to be a real pain on the hadaly so I’ve managed to dig up one of the old NEBOX drip tips. Fits nicely and it’s a bit longer than the hadaly tip giving your lips more room for comfort and away from the top cap.

As for the brain freeze xxx mix, or naked xxl as I like to call it, well that’s summer in the heart of winter right there. Be careful though because it’s a high nic composition on a sub ohm build and quite big clouds

It’s just the top most part of the post, the clamp, that goes a bit skew if you don’t hold it in place when tightening down the coil. Has no negative impact on anything except for maybe OCD.

I have taken note and a few photos of the build in there. Will keep that in mind, thanks
What ID is that coil? Can you remember? Feels quite large from the amount of cotton that went in
Feels like 3mm to me, or maybe even 3.5?

As for the nic, dont worry, i think you mixed 6 and 3 ? Or was it 6 and 9 ?
Anyhow, its lightweight :D
I now have Bruised Berry Ice 9mg in the hadaly and petri for comparison purposes. And thats not too bad either. :wait:

It’s a 3mm ID coil @Silver. The mix is 3 and 6 but it’s not only the nic and throat hit that gets ya... it’s the teeth chattering chill too. The new batch I’m busy with is significantly stronger though. 30ml 6mg xxx and 60 ml 6mg brain freeze with 10ml 18mg nic bumper. Still busy gathering the ingredients but it’s in the works. Gonna have frost bite on my mustache when I’m done
