Anyone enjoy making coils? - wanna make a few quid?

Hi folks,

I vape almost exclusively with the House of Mods Killer Dripper - it suits me down to the ground, so I don't bother with any other attys..

The coils are the ones in a ceramic cup, made with the resistance/non-resistance wire, and are fairly basic, single-coil set-ups at 1.8ohms or so.

Well I say fairly basic, but I just never got the hang of making coils - tried for a good while, but my output was always inconsistent, so I just usually buy the pre-made replacements, which aren't cheap..

I've amassed a load of the ceramic cups, and am proposing that I'd send them off, along with the wire and wick and a pre-paid self-addressed envelope to someone who isn't as technically inept as me, who could rebuild them for an agreed fee and send them back to me..

Anyone be up for it?

Cheers

Order a few bags of these and use Swiss Post, you should have them in about 10 days.

I haven't used ceramic cups but they should be easy enough to change.

You know I actually did, but the coils on them are tiny and it's impossible (for me anyway) to get the wick threaded - if you look at the replacements, the way they're made is by folding the wick and coiling around it, so there's effectively 2 strands of 2mm wick in the coil...

The only 2 wick they do is 2.9ohm but they have 1.8ohm 4 wick which would be easy to trim and should work.

Thanks, but there'd be still a bit of fiddling to get them the same as the replacements, in the ceramic cups, and likesay I'm a bit technically inept, so I'd just prefer to buy them pre-made.. hopefully someone who finds making wicks a cinch will be up to make a few quid

I'll do it for you if you want to pm me the details... I usually have time to spare in the evenings so I can squeeze in an hour or two for you

Hi Snake - was trying to send a PM, but system not letting me - it says the user has chosen not to accept PMs - can you contact me and I'll respond?

Thanks
