Ultrasonic Cleaners, Pure Grain Alcohol And Coils

I remember seeing a few threads some time back saying that ultrasonic cleaners are awesome for almost unlimited use of stock coil heads. My question is, why hasn't this gotten more popular with the advent of expensive coils? Does it not work as well? I'm curious. I might pick one up if it's awesome for stock coils. It'll pay for itself in 2 packs of coils. Thoughts?

Cleaning And Re-using Aspire Bvc Coils Without Dry Buning

I've read many of the hysterical posts about the wick material in Aspire BVC coils. But I've gotten used to all the chicken little hysterical threads on ECF over the years. In the case of Aspire BVC coils I believe the hysteria to be unwarranted. If you believe it then read no further.

I've been using a Nautilus and Naut mini for a few months now. I can afford the BVC coil replacement cost but decided as an old school vaper to try to recycle them rather than just tossing them. I realize that some have managed to rebuild them but I decided to attempt simply re-using them in stock condition. I certainly don't expect many people to adopt my method but here it is for those who might. You'll need an ultrasonic cleaner.

In retrospect my first step was likely overkill but I'll find out with the next batch. My first step was to force warm water through each coil assembly with a dental water pik. I then placed all the rinsed assemblies in a small ultrasonic cleaner having filled the tank with hot tap water. The ultrasonic cleaner was purchased a few years ago in an attempt to recycle cartos. That attempt was doomed to failure.

My inexpensive ultrasonic cleaner runs three minute cycles and shuts off. Given that I probably went through enough cycles to equal 60 minutes total cleaning cycles with 4 or 5 water changes. When the tank water started to remain clear the coils were allowed to air dry for ~48 hours.

The result is that I am vaping one of these recycled coils and the performance is identical to a factory fresh coil. The first 10 or 12 hits carried a somewhat off taste but then cleared completely. This is FWIW. YMMV.  

Aspire Nautilus Mini Bvc W/larger Wicking Holes, Stock

*I posted this in the Aspire Forums, but wanted to get some Feedback from my fellow ECF members*

Hi,
I bought a Aspire Nautilus Mini Premium Starter kit that came with the 1000mah VV+ battery a few months ago. It came with a 5 pack of 1.8 Ohm BVC coils. I have since bought 3, 5 packs of coils from 101Vape. They have all worked great, but 101Vape has ran out of stock.

I bought 2, 5 packs of 1.8 Ohm BVC coils from WORLDofVAPE. They came in the mail today and they also work (better) great, but they are not physically the same. They have the same markings and threading and post, but the wicking holes are 3 times larger. They are not in the middle, but run along the top of the threading. They say Aspire BVC 1.8 (3.3-6.0) CE and have the trash can picture on them. The packaging is exactly as the first 3 sets of 5 packs I have bought (including the pack that came with the kit). I have checked every security code and they all come back genuine.





Why do the BVC coils from World of Vape have larger intake holes on them? Are these a newer improved design? Did you start using different equipment or specifications to produce the BVC? Are these a different coil meant for a different tank? I would really like to know so that I can order the exact ones again in the future as I don't know when World of Vape will run out of stock. Any feedback would be great!  

Please Help Me, I Am Out Of Date.

I have been vaping for 4 years now. I am using the baby beast tank. I have 3 of them.
I have never used anything else because,, well, it works fine for me. My problem is that I am having a hard time finding coils. I used to by clone coils on ebay for dirt cheap. There are no longer any coils on ebay. I cant find any coils online. They are either out of stock; or very expensive. What do people do nowadays? Do people still use the baby beast or has everyone
changed to something cheaper/better? I always use Q2 .4 Ohm coils. I only found 1 place online that has them and they are $20 for 5 of them (including shipping). What would you guys do? I was so happy with the clone coils. They were inconsistent but cheap. Some would last 3 days and some would last 10 days; but for $1.35/each I was happy.
Thank you for any advice you can give.

How Many Watts Can I Go?

For the past 11 months I've been using a combination of kanger pro tanks and then more recently nautilus tanks with their respectful "throw away" atomizer heads. With these tanks I've been using either the itazte vv 3.0 or itazte VTR while keeping the vaping around 8-10 watts.

I've since purchased an Eleaf Lemo and have been making my own single coils in the same 1.8-2.5 range as the protank and nautilus coils.

Should I be able to and get successful results by cranking up the heat to let's say 12-15 watts now that I'm rebuilding the coils with cotton? Have the stock coils been holding me back in terms of cranking the heat? Maybe because they don't wick as well self-built coils?  

Best/cheap Mtl Tank And Stock Coils With High Ohms?

Hello,

After vaping (sub-ohm) quite heavily for many years, I think it's time to quit that and switch back to MTL now.

What's the best/cheap MTL tank, affordable higher stock Ohms coils that use less liquid? I'll up my nic content to 12mg.


Thank you.  

Why Do Sub Ohm Take So Much Voltage?

Hello vapers! first! I'm a noob at this stuff because I just buy my tank and use it with the coils it comes with and second, my english isnt that good but I can understand it perfectly fine.

Anyway, Ive been searching everywhere but I couldnt find a solid answer to my question.
Im using an Aerotank Giant right now with a 1.8 ohm coil, if I put a 1.2 ohm I would have to use less voltage because I get a burnt taste and the coil burns pretty quick, Im about to order a Sub ohm tank soon and I'll use the stock coils, the one im getting is the Kangertech SubOhm tank.
Why do subohm coils use more voltage when normal coils use less?

I mean, Ive seen people do things like 0.2 ohm coil @ 100W + If I did anything over 3.5V on my 1.2 ohm coil itd burn instantly... SubOhm takes more voltage the lower you go and normal dual coils take less voltage the lower you go!

1.9 Ohm Dual coil = 3.7-3.8V for me
0.5 ohm OOC subtank sub ohm coil = 12-30W?!

Thanks in advance for taking the time to reply to this post and your patience!

Cheers!

Edit: by the way, Im planning to use my subtank with a 50/50 PG/VG 16mg nicotine, Is that ok?  

My Subtank Is Really Starting To Taste Bad!

I'm using a Subtank Nano on the KBOX. Should be absolutely no problems.

But my coils (both the 0.5 and 1.0) are tasting awful. I prime them great, I make sure everythings good and secure, and I'm using a 75%-ish VG juice.

But I can't go above 20 watts with two new packs of coils I have, and especially on the 1.0 coils, that's ridiculous. I'll get a vaporized rubber taste that tastes like the worst clearomizer coil I've ever come across.

Dry cotton should just have sort of a cottony, almost doggy or smokey taste. But this is a pure rubbery flavor. Are the gromets going to crap? These things should be built for Sub-Ohm Vaping!

I have no clue what's wrong but I can't use this thing anymore.

I'm also getting more juice in my mouth than I would if I drank it. These coils have started to spit and spew like nothing I've seen. I've used these coils for months and could always go up to 30 watts, no issues!  

Ni 200 Coils

Everything that I have read so far says that you want to use spaced coils when working with Ni200. Will the coils not work as well if you use contact coils? I am asking because I have a Goblin RTA and it has a small build deck and Im not sure if I will be able to fit spaced coils in it (also, I have never made a spaced coil lol)


Thanks for your help guys!  

Needs Some Recs (rta Rda Box Mod), Help Before Vapegeddon!!!

Hi ECF!

I've been hiding my head in the sand and thankfully resurfaced just in time (I hope!) to acquire and stock up on some essentials before the mail ban goes into effect.

I used to have a couple Kayfun RTA's but I got rid of them a couple years ago. I have been using a FreeMax FireLuke Mesh tank out of pure simplicity and convenience. But now with the mail ban I'm realizing an RTA and / or RDA are going to be needed when my drop in mesh coils run out. Something trustworthy and not too complicated to set up ideally.

Also, looking for a trusty box mod (100W) or 2 that isn't crazy expensive.

I've been scrambling trying to read through as many threads as possible but it hasn't been easy now that I have a 14 month old requiring all my attention. I'm hoping you all can help me out so I can place a couple more orders and feel at ease with the end near. At least not have to be at the mercy of whatever B&M store that might survive.

TIA!

Please Help Me!

Hi guys, I'm back!

I'm still vaping away, and happy as ever to be doing it. You guys might remember me, it's been a while. My mom died from lung cancer and I haven't smoked a cigarette since. But I'm humbly asking for help from the experts, because I'm at a loss.

I vape on a Vandy Vape Berserker MTL vape pen, and I buy the coils from elementvape.com or electrictobacconist.com. I vape salts, 24mg. This works BEAUTIFULLY for me. I'm satisfied, it's easy, I have zero interest in building things or using tiny screwdrivers or any of that. Maybe once all the little people in the house can use the bathroom without my assistance I'll have time to devote to coil building, but I digress....

So onto my issue... No one is selling the coils for this vape pen! It's out of stock everywhere and I am freaking out. I don't want to use pod systems, I live way out in BFE and don't want to constantly be waiting on shipments.

Can anyone tell me SPECIFIC devices to buy that 1. work with salts and 2. have coils that don't need to be built. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE?!?! And dumb it down, talk slowly, I don't know all the lingo of the cool kids.

Thank you guys in advance. You all were very kind to me while my mom was dying, and I appreciate it so much.
