Seeing as there's been a hell of a ton of complaints about ProTank stock coils flooding, I figured I'd make a little how-to!
You will need:
Nail scissors (or normal scissors), a torch or lighter, some organic cotton, your ProTank 3 coil housing (duh), some Kanthal (I'm using 32awg), tweezers, a teeny screwdriver (this one is 1/10 of an inch in diameter), and some wire cutters.
First off, cut off a bit of wire and torch it. You can use a lighter for this, or be fancy and use a torch.
Wrap the wire around the screwdriver. Tip: Angle your hand against the previous wrap to get them all tucked up and close together. Six wraps usually gives me 2-2.2 ohms.
Take the screwdriver and place it over the housing in the little nook. The other two bits of wire should be poking out the other end, and not crossing over.
With the screwdriver still holding the coil in place, put on the little rubber end. One of the wires should go inside of the rubber, and one should be outside (I made this mistake with my first ever coil build). When you're happy with the positioning, add on the metal stopper.
The coil should be central, like this.
Snip off the wire as close as you can.
Next (this step is optional I suppose, but I do this just to check), put the coil on the base and hook it up to your battery. I do a couple dry burns on the coil and use the tweezers to bunch the coil together. The handy iTaste ohms meter shows that this is 2 ohms. Good stuff.
Get a piece of cotton and twist it, before feeding it through the coil.
I don't usually do this but I figured I'd try it this time - get another piece of cotton and lay it over the coil as a flavour wick.
Soak the pieces of cotton in your chosen juice. I'm using strawberry from Pure Mist. Nomnomnom.
Extra flood prevention (this is also optional. I usually use this as a replacement for the flavour wick): Ball up two tiny pieces of cotton and shove them into the nooks at the edge. I soak these in juice, too.
Put on the cap and rubber gromet, snip off the excess cotton at the sides, screw into the base and attach to your ProTank, and viola!
This should be flood-proof, as I've had no problems with it. If anyone has any suggestions/critique on how to make this better, do mention it!
I apologise for my lack of technical terms and chipped nail varnish.
I hoped this helps someone at least!
