How do I Fix my coil that won't vape?
Perhaps try readjusting the wick in your coil, making sure the air holes aren’t being blocked. If you choose to use 30 awg wire with the same number of wraps, the surface area of your coil will increase and provide slightly more vapor. However, this won’t necessarily fix the problem you’ve described.
How do I change the wire diameter and resistance on my vape?
Simply select ‘Custom’ and the menu will change allowing you to input the wire diameter and resistance per meter of your specific wire type. This information can often be found on the wire wheel or manufacturer’s specifications. What does 'Vaping Power @ 4.2V' mean?
What is the build resistance of a vape coil?
Resistance of Each Coil Resistance of Build Deck Surface Area of Coil Current Drain from Battery Vaping Power @ 4.2V FAQs What resistance coil should I build? A typical coil build resistance usually ranges from around 0.1ohms to 2.5ohms. However, this is always dependent on the mod and/or tank you’re using.
How many wraps on a vape coil?
The average number of wraps on a vape coil is anywhere from 6-10 wraps for a good result. If you can get back in touch with us and tell us what wire type you’re using and the desired resistance of the coil you wish to build then we can give you a little more guidance.
How to remove wind coils?
Carefully remove the wire completely from the tabs on the brush pads. Count the number of winds in each coil as you remove the wire. Be careful not to bend the taps too much when removing the wires to avoid damaging them. After removing the wire, cut the coils of the wind at the top of the armature.
What to do after rewinding coil?
After rewinding the coil, reassemble the housing and replace the screws that you removed earlier.
How to wind a magnet wire?
Using the same gauge and type of magnet wire that was on the original electric coil, rewind the electrical coil carefully back to its original position. On your first wind, leave the end of the wire loose on the tab. When winding the wire, make sure that you follow the exact winding patterns and number of winds as the original. To complete the job, connect the end of the last winding to the loose end of the first wind.
What is the purpose of electrical coils?
Electrical coils are usually wrapped with insulating tape or coated with varnish to provide insulation. To secure them in place, electric coils are often held together by electrical tapes and placed in secured housing.
Can you replace an electrical coil after a repair?
If the electrical coil is physically damaged, you have to replace it. On the other hand, if the electrical coil is physically intact, it may still work well after a repair so get your tools ready to rewind the coil.
How to know if you need to replace a stator?
Performing a diagnostic test is the best way to know whether you need to replace your stator. You can consult your service manual for testing procedures and testing values. We also have testing videos on our Youtube Page that walk you through how to test a stator and common errors when testing stators.
When should you replace a stator?
You’ll find that they need to be replaced throughout your machine’s lifespan.
What is a stator, and how does it work?
If you’re not sure what a stator is or how to maintain it, you’re not alone. Many motorcyclists and motorsport enthusiasts ignore their entire electrical and charging systems until they malfunction. Today’s technology-driven parts are generally reliable and long-lasting, so it’s often better not to mess with them anyway unless there’s a reason. However, it’s critical to understand the components that comprise the charging system so that you know what to look for, what to test, and what you’ll need replaced should your machine start to malfunction.
How to measure a stator?
Label your stator’s output lines 1,2, and 3 (order does not matter). Connect the multimeter leads in phase 1 and phase 2 and wait for the reading to stabilize. Record your result. Repeat for phases 2 and 3 and check your reading. Lastly, measure from phases 1 and 3 and check your reading. Your results should sit comfortably in the range dictated by your stator and its manufacturer. Finally, check to make sure that none of the three have continuity to ground (if it’s on the bike use the engine case, if it’s not use the metal core of the stator).
What is a stator on a motorcycle?
Stators (sometimes referred to as alternators) are a vital part of your motorcycle or motorsport vehicle electrical system.
What is a permanent magnet stator?
A permanent magnet stator is a stationary piece of circular metal with prongs that have lengths of copper wires wrapped around them, which are then connected into either a “wye” or “delta” pattern. The coils produce electricity as magnets on the rotor, or the flywheel, move around the stator.
What is a stators?
Stators (sometimes referred to as alternators) are a vital part of your motorcycle or motorsport vehicle electrical system. Within the world of stators, there are permanent magnet systems and field excited stators. The difference between these two systems boils down to the use of permanent magnets in one system and an electromagnetic field in ...
How to wrap a coil?
To wrap a coil, you’ll need either a drill bit, a screwdriver or (ideally!) a coil jig to wrap the wire around. The size of whatever you use dictates the inner coil diameter.
Where is the coil on a stock atomizer?
The norm for stock coils, this is basically a standing coil situated in the centre of your build deck reaching toward the top of your atomiser.
Why are coils so popular?
These coils have gained popularity, due to the improved airflow and flavor as more of the coil surface area is in contact with the wick.
What type of wire is used for variable wattage?
Kanthal A1 and Nichrome N80 are the two types of wire used for Variable Wattage mode only. Stainless Steel (316) can be used in either Variable Wattage or Temperature Control (TC) mode.
What is macro coil?
The macro coil is any type of coil with an inner diameter larger than 2mm.
What is the typical coil build resistance?
A typical coil build resistance usually ranges from around 0.1ohms to 2.5ohms.
What is the best starting range for a vaporizer?
Personally, we think a great starting range would be something like 0.5ohms to 1ohm. Anything on that scale should give you great flavor and vapor! As long as you know how to wick properlyof course…

It may work that way for others but it didn't play out that way for me.

I am surprised some of the of veterans haven't chimed in here. I have been using disposable dripping attys from avid vapor and empire mods. I can tell you that their coils consist of maybe 8 to 10 wraps and we are talking for all resistances.

Dr G - thanks for replying - looks like other folks either didnt know or didnt care.....so am i correct in thinking more wraps = better vape?
damthisisfun Ultra Member ECF Veteran
Thanks all - will experiment - got my 28, 30 and 32 GA Kanthal today - waiting on wick to come in...........

This is why I bought flat wire covers more area with less wraps I like it.Give it a try.

Okay heres how it works. and by better vape you probably mean more clouds.

So what really give more flavor??? I have a mechanical coming to try sub ohms. In my RBA's I'm currently using 30g wrapped tight at 2.2ohms with 100% PG.
Ohms Test
You will need a multimeter set to Ohms for this test. Test every lead of the stator’s connector and note the readings. The reading of each combination should be the same (test leads 1-2, 2-3, and 3-1). If they are different, your stator is defective.
Ground Test
Set your multimeter to Ohms. Put the negative lead on the engine’s ground and the positive lead on each wires of the stator’s connector one by one. You shouldn’t get a reading at all. If you get a reading, even very small, on any wire, the stator is defective and must be changed.
AC Output Test
Put your multimeter to AC Volts and start you vehicle. As with the Ohms test, test between each lead of the connector (1-2, 2-3, 3-1) and note the readings. They should all be the same (E.g. 20v/20v/20v). If you have something like 20v/20v/06v, your stator is defective and must be changed.
