<languages/> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Info from Vaping360 and WOTOF </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Vape coil follows Ohm’s law. Before you make your own coil, know the basics of Ohm’s law. It is worth investing time in knowing [[Special:MyLanguage/Ohms law|ohm’s law]]. It will allow you to make better coils and keep you safe from any potential accidents. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> =Why build vape coils?= Building your own coils puts you in the driver’s seat. Rather than buying disposable coil heads every week, you can make your own. It’s a fun hobby that vapers not only take pride in, but get to enjoy the fruits of their labor. The way to get good at it is through practice. Although, it’s perfectly reasonable for first-time builders to get it right on the first try. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> This article focuses only on simple coil builds. There’s no need to grab your drills and swivels. If you want to learn about more complicated coils, check out our Clapton coil guide. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> =Supplies to wrap a vape coil= While there are many types of vape tools and accessories you can use to wrap a vape coil, it’s best to keep it simple. There are plenty of good coil building kits on the market that supply you with everything you need, but you can also buy these things a la carte, or maybe you even have these supplies on hand already. Most rebuildable atomizers nowadays come with basic coil building supplies. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Wire: any of the vaping wires would do. Flush cutters: wire cutters that can cut close in small spaces Ceramic tweezers: to pinch your coils while pulsing Fine tip tweezers: to fluff your cotton and place it inside the wick ports Small metal rod: a small screwdriver, or coiling tool Organic cotton: or whichever wicking material you prefer Scissors: to trim your cotton Other (optional) accessories: </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> An ohm reader: used to be a thing, but a regulated mod gets the job done A coil jig: it can make your life a little easier Micro vs macro coils Micro and macro coils are created by taking a single piece of wire and wrapping it around a screwdriver, drill bit, or coil jig. The difference between a micro and a macro coil is the inner diameter of the coil. It’s that simple. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Micro: a micro coil build is a coil that has an inner diameter of up to 2 mm. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Macro: a macro coil build is a coil that has an inner diameter that’s 2.5 mm and above. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> The bigger the inner diameter of the vape coil, the higher its resistance, and vice versa. Likewise, the thicker the gauge of wire used, the lower the resistance will be. We recommend using some basic 26-gauge Kanthal for your first few vape coil builds. It will fit fine in most atomizers and it’s very easy to work with. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> It is worth noting that most atomizers nowadays can easily fit 3 mm coils and, as a result, you will rarely see people referring to coils as micro/macro. But if you are in the mood for some vape history, watch Rip Trippers’ video where he explains different coil sizes in detail. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> {{#ev:youtube|BBpwZoxG3d0}} </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> =How to use a coil jig= Coil jigs are tools that help you wrap coils consistently by guiding the wire while it is getting wrapped on a rod. They are very useful tools, and they will help you make perfect coils every time with minimal effort. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Many jigs will come with detachable rods, while others will ship with separate pieces for different wire diameters. Some of the best-known coil jigs are manufactured by Coil Master, UD, and Kuro Concepts. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Wrapping coils using a coil jig is a fairly straightforward process. If you want to learn more, watch Sherlock Hohms’ video where he shows how to easily wrap a 2.5 mm coil using a coil jig. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> =Single vs dual coils= Single Vs Dual Coil Builds-Infographic You might have noticed that the decks of many atomizers are designed for two coils, i.e. they are made for dual-coil builds. Not all atomizers allow for both, and for those that do, you will usually get better performance with one of the two options. Check for the positive and negative posts of the atomizer, as each vape coil will have to go through both. Also, check the airflow of the atomizer. If the air is hitting the posts from both sides, chances are you are looking at a dual-coil atomizer. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> When doing a dual coil build, it’s essential for both coils to be identical in size and form, to ensure that they heat up properly. Dual-coil builds obviously create more vapor than a single coil of the same specs, but require double the power to perform. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> With two identical coils, the resistance should be exactly one half of each coil’s resistance. In other words, if you did a dual-coil build using two 0.6-ohm coils, your build should be 0.3 ohms. If you take out one of those coils, your resistance will go back up to 0.6 ohms. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> =How to build a coil for an RDA= Building for RDAs is usually a straightforward process. First, examine the deck and see if it is a dual or a single-coil atomizer. Then check the size of the deck and see how large your build can be—you don’t want your coils to touch the top cap as this will cause a sort. Most RDAs these days are good for at least 3 mm coils, and many allow for much larger IDs. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Once you have the number and size of your coils established, check the position of the posts. Some decks need the leads to point in the same direction, while others need them facing the opposite direction. Take note that some postless decks might require cutting the leads beforehand. Once you have your coils wrapped and ready, place the leads in the post holes, and secure them in place using the screws. You are now ready to wick them up. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Watch Grimm Green’s video to find out how to easily build dual macro coils for an RDA. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> {{#ev:youtube|YGXm1BqBrR8}} </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> =How to build a coil for an RBA or an RTA= An RTA, as well as an RBA section of a sub ohm tank, will come with certain limitations. In most cases, there is not enough space in the deck for larger builds. Use your coil jig as a reference and see how big a coil you can get away with. If you think that your vape coil would end up touching the chimney, go with a smaller diameter build—you wouldn’t want to cause a sort. After getting everything ready, you can secure the leads in place and wick your coils. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Check out this video of Mike Vapes building on the SMOK RPM RBA deck. You’ll notice that building on an RBA may get fiddly, but know that in most cases you’ll be getting a much better performance compared to factory coils. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> {{#ev:youtube|YcWcAapq2ds}} </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> =How to build a twisted coil= Once you have mastered single strand wire builds, you can go to the next level. Twisted coils can be easily made by hand and require no fancy equipment. They will produce better flavor than single wire coils due to the larger surface area, and while your resistance will be lower, it won’t be halved due to the use of more wire per strand. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> There are many ways to twist wire, but one of the easiest is the pen method, used by Vape Don’t Smoke in the following video. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> {{#ev:youtube|ivR5k70i2NI}} </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> =How to build a parallel coil= Another multi-strand type of wire that doesn’t require tools and drills is the parallel coil. In essence, a parallel coil is made out of two or more wires wrapped next to each other. Resistance is divided by the number of wire strands, so make sure you are aware of your device’s limits when building parallel coils. For beginners, a dual parallel 26-gauge Kanthal coil would be a nice starting point. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> For more info, watch Rip Trippers tutorial on how to build a parallel coil by hand. For even better results you can use a coil jig: just wrap the first coil using the jig’s guide, and manually wrap the second coil in between the gaps. </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> {{#ev:youtube|9MNJuYuwgwI}} </div> <div lang="en-GB" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> =Final thoughts= Wrapping vape coils can appear to be much more difficult than it really is. Granted, it can get difficult when getting into complex builds, but the basic vape coils like those on this page are relatively simple to do, with only basic tools and dexterity needed—and maybe a little patience. Don’t give up if you struggle the first couple of times you try it. Rebuilding and wrapping coils offer the user cost savings and control over the vape in a way that pre-made coils just cannot do. </div>
