Thread: E-cigarettes

I've just switched to a Kanger KBox mod to use with a Kanger Aero Giant and Kanger Aero V2. I'm finding the KBox much better than my old basic mod, although I used a Smok epipe which I loved the shape of. It fitted great in the hand.

I can't be bothered with the hassle of building coils as any spare time I have is spent restoring SRs.

And you're right about the smell of tobacco engine46. It's only when you stop using tobacco that you realise how much it makes clothes etc absolutely stink.

You're so right Wayne. I agree. I probably wouldn't have much time rebuilding a coil unless it isn't too time consuming because I spend spare time working on SR's & when I can't do that, I do research on things.

@prodigy: The crown is probably the easiest to rebuild, looks nearly identical to Kanger's subtank rba section. TFV4 is closer to a Kayfun style, never was a fan with that style. I don't blame you, those coils are pretty nice and can chuck pretty well at higher ohms. kinda hard to manually construct a single coil to handle that much heat.

@engine46: First, DO NOT VAPE WITH PICK UP WIRE. You can only rebuild with Kanthal A-1 or Nichrome resistance wire. I'm not sure what the composition of that wire is and would probably be best to avoid it. It's nice to see that you have picked up some good maintenance habits with the ecig. I can't tell you how many I have seen gunked to destruction. The problem with the evod coils is that they recently redesigned them and the press fit between the two tubes is so tight that when you take them apart, you break one or both pieces. As far as your accident, that is quite the harrowing experience. I've been to the hospital numerous times, thankfully for nothing quite that serious.

@wayne394: the Kbox is a nice mod, for that size and price point, it can't be beat.

As far as the build time for a coil, it's just like anything else. It takes some time to get used to and to develop shortcuts to speed up your building process. I can usually do a single build in 10 minutes, kind of on the slow side but I'm a perfectionist with them (better reliability that way). If I do an assembly process build, I can probably do 6-8 coils in half an hour.

dinnermint, don't worry, I wouldn't think of using pickup wire unless I knew it would work & I don't think I have enough left so I have a little I'll use should i need it for something else with such tiny wire. It is much finer than my blonde hair.
Thanks for the info though.
