@dr phil, I know fasttech has replacements, but none found locally as yet.im down to my ss tank insert, taken out a nano quartz and the original plastic

 

[Dr Phil]

If I come right with the glass blower tomorrow would u be interested in get some more glass tanks . I dont think it would be to difficult as it is a straight glass tube

Like the clear tank insert?

If so,yes,but obviously price dependant

 

[Dr Phil]

Ya clear tanks ill see what he says tomorrow will keep u updated. I also dont wanna pay an arm and a leg for one

 

[Necris]

The nano quartz are even simpler,if you have the bits(which i do,unluckily i dropped mine 1st day in)

So today I attempted a double barrel micro coil. Used 28G kanthal 9wraps.
Only to find that I did only 8 on the 1 coil. Too lazy to redo it I thought I'll give it a shot. Coil was reading 0.5ohms.

Wicked it up and test fired it.


All seemed to be fine. Vaping nicely although I occasionally get a popping sound.

Is this something to be concerned about?

 

[WHeunis]

Naw, nothing to be worried about.

 

[zadiac]

26G
8 wraps
2mm ID

That is a very neat build man. One of the tidiest builds I've seen.

Thanks @WHeunis ... I remember I used to get a small crackle with my evod but this was a lot louder.

99% it's just the juice boil-popping... almost like oil heating up.
A bubble just pops from heat right off the coil.

Different tanks/drippers made of different thickness materials and different designs just make that pop sound different.
My Russian pops almost with a subwoofer... very deep bass-like pop.

Good to know my tank won't be blowing up in my face. This is just the first build I did that does this. The rest of it never made a sound

I havent entirely figured that one out myself either...
Some juices pop. Some dont. Some only pop at certain wattage settings.
My first coil made very few pops.
My second, cleaner, coil - popped like a popcorn machine.
My third coil... somewhere inbetween.

My best guess is that PG/VG ratio or such, combined with certain coil characteristics... resistance, surface area, etc...

BTW, careful when open-firing your wet wicked coil for testing... if those little pop-bubbles land on your hand... ITS FARKIN HOT AS HELL!!!

Nicely done. 0.5 in a kayfun is way to hot for me. I tried that build once, good clouds but the vape wasn't enjoyable for me. Glad you liking it.

I've tried 0.2ohm on the nemesis and plume veil and I love it. The eVic supreme only allows 0.5ohm up. So I tried to go as low as possible to give it a shot.

I play at 0.2 - 0.3 with the drippers but just can't vape a kayfun at under 1 ohm for some reason it disagrees with me lol.

Well to be honest I prefer my single 1ohm build for an all day vape.

Finally cracked it, I think. When I tried to follow RipTrippers Kayfun microcoil build, I had major issues with flooding. So by doing the opposite of what he said about not blocking the channels, I seem to be onto a winner.

Tobeco Kayfun Lite Plus

Wire: 24 AWG Kanthal
Wraps: 8
ID: 4.75mm
OHMs: 1.15

Judging by that glow, that must hit like a baseball bat!
