The A2.0 is the resistance of your coil in Ohms. no idea what U4.1 means. Possibly voltage? My mvp has a U button for voltage mode

yes i suspect the U is actually a V, but even when i play arround with wattage and voltage the U (V) reading remains the same
 
the U or V is your current available battery charge
- it runs from 4.2 until about 3.4 and then the battery dies and needs a recharge
 
ok so first off some vape mail @Stroodlepuff , your shop is really located in a bad spot for my wallet :p

Got me some 32G wire and some silica wick :)

now, i need some help want hier is groot kak!

1 coil was 7 wraps on a 1.5mm drill - 2.4 Ohm - not bad for my 1st attempt (i think)
2nd coil was 5 wraps and came to a nice 1.7 Ohm - so i decided to go with this one.

i placed wick through it, put all the parts together - it works! make vapor, but whats that! O No its gurgiling and 1/4 of the juice is leacking right through the freaking coil....

what am i doing wrong?

am i using too little wicking?
is the coil too low.... help me please

at least im still alive and didnt build a bomb! haha

what are you building the coil on?
 
Sorry dude, the pics didn't show when I saw your post.

mPT3 cups are a bit taller than the standard evod/mpt2 cup because its was designed for dual coil.

First try an ID of 2mm, that should work out well for the mPT3 cup, I used an ID of 2mm and worked for me.

If that doesnt work then try a 2.4mm ID, there is quite a bit of room for such things

The reason it is leaking/gurgling is because there is most likely a gap between the stem and the wicks so juice is flowing, you can fist try to put some silica on top of the coil to close that gap, if the gap is still too big then go with a bigger ID coil as mentioned above.


Hope that helps.
 
your right before you posted i only had a single strand of wick, i just placed 3 more strands on top of it all and its working

i build my firts coil yipeeeeee

but, now i dont know, the flavor seems muted...

if i try a 2mm ID how many wraps should it try ?
 
the wick is smothering your vapour that is why it is seeming a bit muted

you can go here. click on the coil wrapping tab and fill in the necessary details, if you get lost just post and we will guide you through it.
 
saw a post regarding the froggie - its a rain caller thing i got in mauritius :)

you take the pin out its mouth and rub it on his back and it sounds like a frog croaking :)

kwaak kwaak!
 
cotton dude cotton. don't need no silly silica ;) go dig out a few cotton balls or something

sho only 4 wraps on the 2mm ID for 1.6 Ohn

isnt that too little coverage?

if you want more coverage you will need to go down in the gauge of your wire for less resistance.

Personally I would suggest getting some 28g kanthal rather.

But for now give that build a try and see if it does it for you, then you will know for next time.
 
hmmm 4 wraps on the 2mm isnt bad, had to place an extra wick on top... 1.7Ohm

question?

which coild will burn more juice?
dual coil 2Ohm
single 1.7 Ohm
both on 3.3V ?

Whichever has the greater surface area will burn more juice. I would have to say in this case the dual coil. Dual coil rigs are much thirstier than single coil rigs
 
cool thanks

i must admit, it looked like the single 1.7 Ohm coil burnt alot more juice than the 2 Ohm dual coil.

also im not very impressed with the flavor results, its not that its bad, i probably just need to get used to it

i'll try building a coil again when i get some 28G wire

Get yourself some organic cotton. In my opinion it outperforms Silica in the flavour department

can you check out my coils, and tell me if they are spaced to far apart maybe? the stock coils are so tight compared to mine?
