E cig dripper noob, needs help
    #22441665 - 10/27/15 07:19 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

So i just bought a smok x cube 2 mod with a mutation x v 3 tank. I just built my first coil for it, and now I'm tweaking myself out wondering if i used the wrong cotton. I used 100% natural cotton. Is this any different than organic cotton? God typing that out feels retarded, but i really don't want this thing to blow up in my lungs. The tank is getting really hot really fast when i only hit it for a sec.

I would have posted in the vapers united forum if there were at least 1 other person viewing it, but there isn't so to the pub i go.

Also, feel free to discuss any noob mistakes you might have made if you started e cigging with little knowledge of it.

What's the coil reading? Where did you get the cotton from?

If you are concerned about chemicals in your cotton, at least boil it and dry it before using it. Get japanese cotton pads.
If your RDA is getting super hot after just a second, you did something wrong, or have a short, or coil touching the metal or something. Rebuild.

I think my cotton is fine (bought it in a grocery store) i was mostly worried because it said low density polyethylene (pretty sure thats the bags ingredients).

Does anyone have any tutorial vids they can recommend? If you can post the link instead of embedding it, im using a playstation to post all this.:lol: I swear i set it up percextly, but it sire as hell isn't hitting perfectly.:shrug:

Would to much liquid be doing it? It's reading 60W .69 (horseshoe , ohms right?) 0.00 V. Im using klapton 26 guage prebuilt coils, kroger brand triple size 100% natural cotton balls.

I'll hit it a few seconds and it seems to get obscenely harsh on my throat. I'm usingg a 6 mg climax desert liquid. Tastes pretty good. Am i just not used to a dripper so the harshness is catching me offguard? E cig stores closed so i'm SOL there. The coil isn't touching anything other than the+ - slots.

I think it may have caught me offguard :facepalm: it's nothing unbearable atm.

uhhh what? polyethylene is not cotton dude, that's plastic. Stop that shit.
Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Stop immediately, go to the drugstore and get some real cotton.

Does it say 100% cotton? If so, should be fine. If it were some polyethylene-cotton blend, it wouldn't be 100% cotton.

My guess is it's getting hot so fast, and giving you painful hits, because your running the wattage too high for the coil you have. Either make a coil with more mass, or turn down the wattage. If you have a big coil and running at very low wattage and still getting painful hits, it's likely you're either using too much or too little cotton in the coil. Both can cause dry hits.

It was under the packaging recycling label. Pretty sure the bag is polyethylene and the cotton is 100% natural cotton. It definitely is referring to the bag. :lol:

it says "ldpe goes into plastic bags and grocery sacks dry cleaning bags and flexible film packaging. Also some bottles."

I think i just used a lil to much cotton for my wicking.

Definitely used to much cotton, just compared it to the wick they built me in the store i got it. Probly used double or triple the amount. Would it hurt anything to just cut a little cotton off at this point?

The length doesn't matter as much, it's the diameter of the cotton and how tightly packed into the coil itself is. Pull it out, dry burn the coil and rinse the coil off, then rewick with new cotton.

Dry burn as in basically activate the e cig without any wick in it? Earlier i was doing that to try and shape the coil to fit in better(video said to make sure it heated red evenly and to use pliers to move around while hot to make it fit better) and it said ohm to high, then it refused to heat up that pair of coils(pretty sure i tried everything in settings) so i tossed them aside and put different coils in and it worked fine.

Sorry I'm just down to four coils and the pair thats in there so I'm trying to be extra cautious as i don't wanna get more till the weekend.

And ideally i want it to be somewhat fluffy inside the coil?

Well the dry burn isn't totally nessecary but if there's any cotton that got burned onto the coil from repeated dry hitting, you're gonna keep tasting and feeling that burned cotton. Dry burning burns everything off, and rinsing it washes everything away. The ohms shouldn't change just because you dry burn. Up to you whether to do it or not.

As for the wicking, you just barely want it to have resistance as you pull it through the coil. It should not take any real effort to pull through, but it shouldn't just pass straight through to the point you could push it in instead of pull it through.

:bumpthread: Ok so i just made a new coil again. Pretty sure its about the same amount of cotton as last time when i did it right. My last coil said ohms to high, which i assume means that coil was cashed out, or does it mean i did something wrong?

Anyway i built a new coil, let the liquid soak in a bit, and i hit it and it hit fine. Beautifully actually, but if i hit it for more then three seconds i get a bright orange glow inside the tank. What does this glow mean? It really feels like its hitting fine, but idk if I'm about to light my lungs on fire.

It sounds like you're doing something wrong but I have no idea what. Coil shouldn't be getting red hot under normal use.

What wattage are you running it at? You need an ohm meter so you know what ohms your coils are, at least until you get experienced enough to know how to build coils flawlessly and use a calculator to determine how many wraps around what diameter to achieve your goal. No one really just starts wrapping coils randomly, we do it with a specific ohm range in mind.

Dude, unless you're trolling, that is the most ill-informed statement I've ever heard.

Do a little research, man, because you are so wrong it's not even funny.

The coils themselves are pre wrapped klaptons? I don't have to wrap them or anything. It stopped glowing red hot though. Maybe i didn't let it soak in enough? I got it at 90 watts though.

The package says 65 ohms, and when i hit it the e cig says 1.32 ohms.:shrug:

I'm confused about the guy who says he thought about vaping. Like at what point in this thread has anyone said "have you ever considered vaping, and what made you make your decision to or not to do it?"

I can't imagine any clapton being 1.3 ohms.. Sometimes it's just a struggle to get them at .5 or .6. If I go with really high gauge wire for the cores, it's easier but getting that stuff straightened out is a huge pain in the ass. Lower gauges it's easier to straighten out, but then I have to do like 8 wraps or more just to get to .4.

It's hard for me to tell you what you're doing wrong over the internet, but I really think you're doing something wrong. Maybe not tightening them down good enough.

And 90 watts is pretty high. Especially if your coils really are somehow 1.3 ohms. Right now I've got a dual coil going at .5 ohm and I'm not even at a full 60 watts.

They're pre wrapped. E cig goes to 160, i figured 90 is reasonably close to the middle ground. Idk when i first started playing with the settings i got something messed up and didn't know how to get it back and it was unbearable, so I've been overly cautious to play with settings, ill see if it might be the wattage.

Try tightening down the coils a lot better, and dropping the wattage back to 50 and going up in 1-3 watt increments if nessecary.

90 is probably very excessive for what you're running. The only time I've needed to be above 75 was with some super low ohm super massive claptons. I've never had to run at more than 60 for any other clapton I've ever built.

I gor it on 70 right now, 60 felt a little light honestly.:shrug: but yeah 90 was a bit excessive, not much flavor at that range. I got a really dope ass apple flavor though. It's amazing what you can taste with a dripper compared to the other e cigs i used to have.

I had a variable voltage pheonix, amd the only flavor that was appetizing to me was anything along the limes of a menthol flavor. I tried a thin mint flavor with the older one and it was doper than dabs, i can't wait to get a bottle of that shit tomorrow.

What box do you have? On my snow wolf I can adjust the temp and watts separately so maybe you increased temp by accident?

I just wrapped two .54 ohm coils so I'm running at 0.27 ohms at 90 watts and it chucks clouds like no other :shrug:

Edit: ah smok cube. Those fuckers have some crazy functions.
Would you mind posting a pic or two of your coils?

That's true. The smok has blue tooth though so it probably has it lol.



Op does your set up look similar to mine at all? I know the smok has a four post design as well. Make sure you don't have a short or anything.

I wrapped a stove top cool for shits and giggles last night that literally melted off of the posts :lol:

So you can make important business calls while vaping and driving at the same time. Also i can play angry birds on it, while it doubles as a pedometer so i can get in shape and vape all at the same time.

Not really, the vape itself has 3 buttons so bluetooth lets you have an easier was to work with all the settings.

And to the above poster, yes that pic looks like mine. I got whatever my issue was earlier sorted out. Must have been to high on watts, or i didn't let liquid soak enough in the cotton?






I also would love to build a vape that plays music while you hit it. Like say i hit it for ten seconds, and it would play the first ten seconds of "rock on" by david essex. Then if i hit it for ten seconds later, it would play the next ten seconds of the same song. Ideally it would be the phantom cigar from metal gear solid.:lol:

I also wanna build a baine mask(from batman) and have each of the pipes on the face part be replaced by tanks.  Imagine if every breath baine took, vapor surrounded his head.:lol:

Fuck yeah. Welcome to flavor country.
With drippers you will learn the little quirks and shit.. fine tuning is necessary sometimes. Coil and wick building is an art form.
Not to mention hopefully you are dropping your nic levels down compared to before?
You need much less nic when you go to a dripper, especially if you are sub-ohming.

Oh yeah, 24mg menthol to 6 mg sweet tart apple overnight. Being able to take bigger hits reduces the need for all the nicotine.

It's wierd to, i actually have to be careful while vape driving so that i don't put out a cloud that blocks my vision. Before that wasn't even a possibility.:lol:

I'm still on 6 :sad:

And op, try wrapping your own coils sometime! Just experimenting with shit will help you figure out the quirks :smile: or walk into your nearest vape store and have someone walk you through it, I find the shops around me to have some very nice, helpful people

Definitely plan to. Just looking at that big ass bag of cotton and thinkinf how long it'll last me and how much I'll save blows my mind, all i need now is wire.

Well I'm gonna go put some of this cotton to use and make some cotton glue sheep drawings just like in kindergarten.:lol:

But seriously anybody got a cheap recommendation for an ohm tester?

And you said they're claptons? That sounds super high for claptons.

But I'm probably way off. I'm still pretty noobish myself.

Nah that is high for claptons. I can't see the pics to see how many wraps it has or anything, but to get that high with dual claptons, the cores would have to be like 32 or 34 gauge. Even doing it with 28 or 30 can be a bit of a pain in the ass (and only gets worse when you make fused claptons).

In all my looking around, I haven't seen too many people even use 28, it's usually 26 or lower for the core.

It works for making some not excessively low ohm fused claptons. I have a pair of 28/34 claptons in my RDA right now in fact.

My coils barely last 24 hours before my e cig says ohms to high, then it just refuses to heat the coil up. It has a e. Adj ohm, setting, but it won't let me turn it down below 1.2.
