Just wanted to pop in and say thank you for this video! I bought a pretty badass mech about 18mo ago and the guy at the shop told me how to build the coils. The cotton was quick to get burnt and I was replacing it pretty regularly. I assumed this was normal. I learned from this video that the cotton was way too tight within the coils. Now I have the confidence to tweak my build a little bit each time until I find what's perfect for me. Even with my first build after watching this video, the hits are a lot more flavorful and produce much larger clouds. Thanks again!
Excellent vid. Vaping saved my life. I wanted to tap into a different time and as a retiree I’ve been wanting to add to my hobby list. Like the fronto leaf but for vaping😊 thanks for the great refresher
Amen, i just started messing with all this stuff myself, mainly because i can't stop tinkering with stuff... way back when i started with cigarettes, then moved to cigars, now this... and my word, is there a tonne of stuff to absorb....
4:02 i would press the coil against the lip on the rod to compress it to more uniform shape since kantal is bit springy so it will compress and leave even space between each wrap. and when it comes to building coils fist time, i recommend getting a cheap dripper "RDA" to test each coils and practice wicking. also drippers are good when testing out different flavours since its easy to clean and u just need to drop few drops of juice on the cotton. i got my self velocity RDA long time ago and its my go to test RDA when i try out different coils and flavour mixes
@@Anonymous_________ i know but im giving out pointers. every time i make a coil i first spread it a bit then compress it so it has more even spacing between the wraps. over the years i have made my own coils i have noticed that spaced coil last longer and dont gunk up so fast compared to fully compressed coils. also i use Kuro coiler and those make coils more tight so i always expand them after i make one
Well done DashVapes and DaveVapes. I switched to RTA's and rebuilding a Year ago and I'm so glad I did. Rocked stock coils for 2 Years and was happy but the cost savings is undeniable!
Building coils is rewarding and makes it affordable than it does smoking. I used to be smoking a pack every two days and vaping helped me ween off of smoking. I still smoke cigarettes but i’ve got to a pack a week.
I'm using a 2x twisted micro claptons at 0.5ohms and 28w in a Blotto RTA. I can't remember the exact gauges though. It has a quick ramp-up time unlike big claptons and the flavour and vapour are amazing. I've been using the same coils for almost 1 year now and I haven't bought any vape supplies since then either, my cotton bacon is probably about 70% full each of the 10 cotton sticks can rewick 12-16 times depending how I cut and part them
I so miss the ability to buy rebuildable tanks. Greatly miss it. These "senior-proof" CRC tanks they have out forced out now, are a pain. You can't take the tank apart to wash every mm of the tank. H.C. never understood the need for doing that, I guess. Or that not everyone felt the need for finicking gizmos to lock the tank, in case a child went near it. Great video gentlemen, I have been doing rebuildable tanks for over 7 years, now. Steam Crave V2 loved that tank. Nothing fancy, single coil set up for MTL. H.C. has taken away so many unique features that made vaping work for adults, who seek a safer alternative to continued smoking. H.C. is handing the industry over to B.T versions, which are inferior devices and repulsive tasting. Stand up against H.C.'s latest potential regulation, which would see, many vape shops close within Canada. If you vape, advocate. ✊👊 #THRWorks
@Bilxl12 when new tanks come out, they more often than not require a proprietary type of coil. Meaning, if you decide to upgrade your tank, any spare coils you had couldn't be used, and you'd have to buy all new ones. With an RDA, I can just build and install my own coils. There's no special requirement, and no proprietary type of coil. Plus, you just have a lot more control over your vape if you build your own coils. You can adjust surface area of the coil itself to the cotton, use different types of wire, or different styles of coil. It's all down to preference, and is incredibly modular. Coil building itself is kind of a lost art now, but I still very much enjoy it. It's really satisfying to see something you built work like a charm. And there's none of that with tanks.
@Bilxl12 excellent question! And yes. Though, most of them have REALLY small build decks. Not much room to work with. Like, imagine the RDA in this video. Has a decent amount of space to work with. With an RTA, cut that space in half. Because the tank itself is accounted for, so you don't have a bunch of overhang. Plus, tanks tend to be tall as well. RDAs are shorter and fit into the pocket better, imo.
Rebuilding = pennies on the dollar, compared to using premade coils. Edit (after re-watching): potential safety / building concerns: 4:13 Coil leg is improperly routed along the outside of the coil guide / capture post. 4:30 Negative coil leg are not fully captured. 4:44 Positive coil leg are not fully captured. (Will result in a short, if it comes into contact with the sidewall of the chimney.) These mistakes appeared to be corrected later in the video, but there is no attention called to them.
All of this is fixed after boy snip the extra wire. Basic knowledge, you are knit picking an unfinished build. Notice how all those legs are gone after the cuts?!? Clearly you didn't.
Still rocking my almost 6 year old geekvape ammit 25,built like a brick shithouse. Also using 6 rdas, 6 other rtas and guilty of sub-ohm tanks usage as well. Hmm..... maybe I'm addicted🤔.
@@chasingcloudsandflavorrevi9817 I don't have anywhere near that but I do have 6 rdas,7 rtas and 5 sub-ohm tanks on my little island here, each with their own flavour all ready to vape 😬all low wattage though 15-35 watts
I have wanted to build for a few years but been too hesitant since I would be figuring it out on my own. I have so many questions about resistance, wraps, gage to get the preferred wattage. I need a remedial class. None of the nearby vape shops sell any wire or cotton and only know about Kratom. I’m in the US so I guess it doesn’t matter since the taxes are going up so much I’ll have to quit.
I have no idea why I thought these were so intimidating... I am finally switching to an RDA after realizing how much I pay a month for just coils lol, 1 coil is $7 and lasts me about a week :/

i use bp mod cotton2.5 and 3mm its nice not stress vs cotton bacon since i started again no burnt cotton
Still the kind of learner that needs someone sitting with me walking me through each step as I do it, but this is pretty close. Much appreciated.

I'm on an 0.5Ω 26 guage dual micro coil with the dead rabbit rda
I'm on a .16 at 8.4volts mod is Hammer of god and the world biggest Colorado 52mm RDA by Vapergate

It doesn't matter for your first coil. Don't knit pick.

very useful
could you suggest a device for RTA compatibility, im new to this and would like to get some coil building experience.
@@Felfan440Geekvape t200
Happy you posted this even with CRC laws thank you!
May be a silly question but I am interested in starting to build my own coils but how do you onow what wattage you can vape it at?
Can you tell me how long does the wire last?
Hows about comb out? Comb the cotton out to help fitting.
I remember doing this when I was like 13/14 haha I should do it again
Great vid,after vaping sub ohm tanks for many years I thought i give rdas a try
Does every rda/rta/rdta support rebuildable coil?i’m a total newbie so any help would be appreciated :’)

I currently have a thelema solo what kind of atomiser and cotton should i get for big clouds?
What about types of cotton, I can find?
I actually just got an RDA again. I got tired of the tanks.
What is in your opinion better by RDAs than Tanks?

@@Zer0_._ oh okay i didnt know that with the space. But I also appreciate about RDAs that they are small and easily built
Why does Dashvapes not sell rebuildable tanks and accessories?
Thank you very much dude😊😊

@Guy Who Killed U 🤞
Isn't this taken care of after snipping the excess wire? They don't reccomend turning the device on, until the coil has been fully built
All of this is fixed after boy snip the extra wire. Basic knowledge, you are knit picking an unfinished build. Notice how all those legs are gone after the cuts?!? Clearly you didn't.
@@Anonymous_________ I mentioned in my comment: These mistakes appeared to be corrected later in the video, but there is no attention called to them.
Cheers mate this helped allot. Do you have any on more advanced coils? I’m running a paranormal dna250c trying to learn as much as possible
Good just missing an ohm reader. Not all mods have them builr in
I miss dash vapes this ain’t the same

Ah then I have a real problem 🤣 I probably have over 100 RDA's and RTA's and about 20-30 subohm tanks 😂

what is the device in the video? I can't really find many rebuildable coils around...
Any luck on finding anything?
Q. Can you still "vape" even if you don't have tattoos? Asking for a friend. Thanks and you RoCk1
Can anyone tell me the name of the above vape....? pleaseeee..
Can that wire be used in any rda?
I have no idea why I thought these were so intimidating... I am finally switching to an RDA after realizing how much I pay a month for just coils lol, 1 coil is $7 and lasts me about a week :/
What era is that?
I want too start building my own coils. Does anyone have any recommendations on good atomizers and tank to buy
Where can we buy this?
IDK man this looks hard to me.
My half brother is, uhh, how do I say this? He's "slow." And he winds some of the most beautiful Clapton coils I've ever seen.
Wick very tight, not snug though.
I'm no longer afraid I'm buying a stream crave 2
What's the difference between the vape cotton & the regular cotton?
There are no dyes in vape cotton. Regular cotton has been "processed" which you do not want to inhale
Even spacing is cool, but I like my coils TIIIIIIIIIIIGHT
Atomizer short message is killing me
Right, now if only you sold some 🤔
Siuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 😊
Why does everyone twist there cotton, no no no, leave it as puffy as possible!
And there are only five reasons 😂
