Introduction

After vaping on the cotton and coils currently in use, they will start to get a burnt taste. This is when the cotton and coils need to be replaced (rebuilt). If this is not done every other week or so, you will not get as much out of your vape and could ultimately end up burning the back of your throat. The guide will teach you how to rebuild the cotton and coils so this can be avoided.

  1. XCDWQ5ErfEFKy5o1
    • WARNING: Failure to completely turn off the system can result in harm to the user or the product.

    • Turn Vape off by pressing the largest button 5 times in row quickly.

  2. kYNm1HYHHQoYqYZy
    • Cut two, 8 inch pieces of 24 gauge kanthal wire with the wire cutters.

    • Note: Approximate the 8 inches; longer is better because you can always trim the wires after the coils are built.

  3. aEqaHxgXtHYgY1Qk
    • Hold the screwdriver and the wire end in one hand (non dominant) and the loose end of the wire in the other hand (dominant).

  4. qteUcxQgmPNw5OYF
    • Using the loose end of the wire, wrap 4-8 times (depending on desired ohms) around the screwdriver.

    • Note: More loops is more ohms of resistance, experiment until you find the proper amount of loops for you.

  5. Cl6HTfmfPCNCVVoB
    • Leave wire wrapped around screwdriver and use fingernails to push the coil down towards base of screwdriver.

  6. yGPgwQsrKVKcUkSu
    • Carefully slide the coil off of the screwdriver.

    • Note: Try not to warp the coil.

    • Repeat steps 3-6 with the other piece of wire, making sure to have the same amount of loops in both coils.

    • CAUTION: If the coils do not have the same amount of loops, the system may short.

  8. I5eTEuWdP2vtghl4
    • Remove the cap to your atomizer.

  9. EI6RKRCbghSDlOZZ
    • Unscrew the top four screws on atomizer without removing them.

    • Put one end of the coil in an outermost hole on side of screw and other end in one of the inner holes.

    • CAUTION: Alternate holes when placing wire inside of screws to avoid shorting the product. EX: holes 1 & 3 and holes 2 & 4 on the above picture

    • Cut wires as close to the posts as possible.

    • CAUTION: Cutting the wires may send the end pieces flying, be careful when cutting.

  14. 1oLWMhaIMUsMOYyw
    • Put the screwdriver through the coil to place the coil in desired position.

    • Note: A desired position would be almost parallel to the screws, and perfectly level; just get close.

  15. wQNTmbtiAjRtyqS2
    • Re-insert the batteries and press the large button 5 times quickly to turn the vape on.

  16. 1MksXXXEYQyYZ4UX

    • Use tweezers to compress the coils, being careful not to touch the tweezers to the coils while the button is being pressed.

    • CAUTION: If the tweezers are placed on the coils while the button is being pressed, the user may sustain small burns.

  18. o6xDQUWcKDpTVv4J

Conclusion

With vapes becoming very popular, this tutorial is very beneficial to those using them. By using this guide, it will save you a drive to your local vape store as well as five to ten dollars every week by building it yourself. As this is practiced more and more, the steps will become easier and more natural. We hope you find this tutorial as helpful to you as it has to us. In the event that the coils do not light up, or no vapor is produced, make sure the wires are properly connected to the screws and that the batteries are charged.
