Dripper Newb

[cloudcuckoo]

Chuck a piccie up dude, let's have a gander at the cotton.

Get practicing in the coiling, by far the cheapest method and rewarding once you nail it. There is no black magic involved just practice and patience. Forum/in boxes are always welcoming to questions.

Not matter wot u get make sure u get an ohms reader! Safety first

You'll get 101 dripper recommendations, so your best bet is to go onto FastTech and get a few decent clones and see how you go.
A Velocity should be fine to kick off with for your requirements.

Get onto youtube and look up Grimm Greens coil build videos. Watch and learn.
Take a swatch at Stealthvape, load up on 0.4mm and 0.5mm Kanthal - more than 10m!! - and just get practicing wrapping wire.
A coil winder is useful, but don't neglect just using a wee 3mm screwdriver to make coils with.

Steam Engine is your friend.
A decent ohm reader is a damned good idea. Y'can get one for about £10. Don't rely on your mod for ohm readings, they can be as reliable as political promises.

Keep practicing wrapping wire around a metal cylinder!!!

Enjoy it, be patient and post pix of results!

Nothing more need to be said here and you saved me a whole lot of typing.
Great advice I'll chip in and throw the best video up and you even mentioned that too
Nice1 for answering a newb question well

@holtyh91 here is the video that has been mentioned.. I show most people as it covers everything

Unscrew the premades and build your own. Premades coils are mass produced with shit wire, only premade coils I'd buy is from @cloudcuckoo or SMUTons from @Dripworx made by @smut

Took you're advice and got rid of the premades, made my first coil and it's slightly better (pics below) still not much flavour though. Any suggestions?

Try some thicker wire, maybe 24 or 22 awg.

That looks pretty small, maybe try a bigger diameter seeing as your using a regulated mod, 3mm would be a good place to start. Plenty of room for cotton

Go dual coil, more vapour and more flavour..... Just remember your resistance will be halved, 2x 1ohm coils =0.5 ohm for example.

Also it looks like you have a Squonk pin in that dripper, if that's the case... Swap that out or you will fill your mod up with juice [emoji106]

dual coils with the velocity a must, your pretty much "watering down" your vape with air, as there's no way to close the other side off

 

[crunchynut]

@holtyh91 what wire are you using ? What other wire do you have if any ?

 

[holtyh91]

Apologies again for the delayed reply!

Am using .4mm 26amg kanthal from stealthvape. That's all I have for now.

Rewrapped and added a second coil. Still no joy! I'm at a loss of what to do... [emoji17]

So just an update.

I bought a few new concentrates and tried one in the dripper yesterday- TFA Dragonfruit- flavour was AMAZING.

guess my vanilla Custard wasn't ready for the dripper, as that's where the problem lied.

Thanks again for all your support!
