Thinking About Having a Go

[donkeyman]

HI Guys

I'm thinking about having a go at making my own coils. I like mouth to lung hits and I was wondering what you guys think about these two tanks as a starter tank

Also how long does it take to get them over here to the U.K and is it the type of thing that will fit through a normal sizes letterbox or do you need to be home for the postman calling

Thanks All

The Goblin is designed as a sub-ohm tank. I am fairly sure you could set it up with high res coils and close off the airflow to suit your needs. Mine are both set for as close to dripper performance as possible however.

FT takes ~3 weeks and aye the package will fit thro' the door.

Best order some wire and a coil jig/winder to get you going with making coils. Plenty videos on youtube to watch and learn.

Thanks for that. What coil jig/winder should i be looking at from FT

Try this yin: https://www.fasttech.com/products/3034/10012175/2066300-kuro-koiler-wire-coiling-tool-3-piece-set

And get some 0.4, 0.32 and some 0.25mm Kanthal to play/practice/build with!

The GT-T V2 is a taifun2 clone. It's a very good tank, easy to coil but a little bit of practice is needed with the wick. It would be worth checking out a couple of taifun (the v1 is pretty much the same as the v2) build vids on YouTube, see what you think.

The goblin mini is a great little tank, although I've never used it for mouth to lung inhales. The build space is pretty small, maybe another single coil atty (with more room to work) would be better.

My personal opinion is go fot the taifun GT clone there, and also get a Kayfun clone from there.

I was a bit anxious getting into building coils, and although I'm no expert, I feel confident now. A few tutorial vids, ask anything here and it really is a lot easier then it looks and sounds.

With fasttech I only ever use the free delivery option, items normally take between 6-20 days. Tanks should be in a parcel that will fit through the letterbox, no signing or anything required (with the free postage anyway). [emoji2]

Silly question but why would i need 3 types of wire ?

There seems to be a lot to pick from. Which ones should i be looking at

With the wire, people have different preferences. Different thickness of wire means a different amount of wraps is needed to get your target resistance and thicker wire takes longer to heat up. Have a look at stealthvape (the best for rebuildable supplies), they used to do a sampler pack of various different wires, that way you can see what you like best before buying a giant reel of it!

As for which taifun clone, just see which ones have good feedback and you like the look of. Oh, and personally I would go for one with glass, otherwise a 'tankcracker' juice could cause tears. [emoji2]

The 0.4mm is easier to work with, and for starting out will make making your first few coils easy. And if you move on up tank wise the 0.4 will make you a few good low ohm coils.
The 0.3 you will most likely be using in the Taifun, it is just a bit fiddlier starting out.
0.25 can also be used in kayfuns/taifuns but is a pain in the bum to work with but could be useful to have.

Back when I started out all I was recommended was the 0.32mm and I found it VERY frustrating to use, so eventually got better advice and got the 0.4mm which made life so much easier and gained me a lot more confidence in my 'leet building skillz'. I still use 0.4 to this day for dripper builds as it is such a flexible size to use.

Just been looking at some youtube videos on the GT-T V2 . That looks real easy to make coils for. Think even i could do that
