Rebuildables: Beginners experiences

[Purplefowler]

Now I'm getting pissed off! I tried 4 loops and it came out at 1ohm and shut down the provari (error code e1), so I tried again with 5 loops. This time 1.1ohm, shut down the provari (error code e1 then followed by e2). Then I tried 7 coils again and got it to 2ohms but this time I got another error code (e7 or 8) and then it wouldn't power at all. Took out the battery gave it a wipe down and a shake and it seems to be ok again now. I think I need to give the provari an alcohol bath as it seems to be abit temperamental. It's better in the vapour department but still a little underwhelming. Flavour is good but I was expecting more performance. It seems to be wicking better now so I'm getting that right though

I dont know how many ohms I have! but I get cloooooooooooouds!


Sorry Ive not been about today!

I know it's a stupid question, but were the coils well spaced and not touching one another or the connection posts?
Sounds like a short to me, especially with 5 loops

If anything there is too much space! I really work hard to keep my spacings even (I'm abit anal like that!). The first error code was for a short, the 2nd was exceeding the power output and the last is a converter fault. I kind of liked it when I didn't know the problem, life was much simpler it seems to be ok now but I really want to get lower resistance cos the provari is quite power hungry and I'm getting a lot less battery time out of it.

Im trying to make a video of me vaping the Cobra lol, but I take lil wimpy drags, anything bigger and I choke out. LOL

you just want to see me choke!

Don't take it back...just suck and blow...oooer missus

Ok guys , i think its about time you upped the ante and started making twisted wire coils , you think you have decent vapour now , wait till you start twisting !!!

 

[Purplefowler]

You can't just leave it open like that what is this twisted wire coil you speak of? I'm intrigued!
