Hi Guys,
Been really enjoying my Skyline lately, and had a few messages asking about the wire I use and how I build it, so wanted to make a tutorial.
Here is the device broken down:
From left to right we have:
1. The build deck / Base
2. The Chimney
3. Juice flow adjuster
4. Glass Tank
5. Securing Ring
Build Tutorial:
1.
Screw the build deck into your building base or a mod to hold it in place
2.
Get your tools ready, I use a mini flat head screwdriver, a coiling tool, my wire, a pair of wire cutters and a pair of ceramic tweezers.
For my wire I am using 316L SS Clapton wire from VandyVape, 26ga + 30ga.
3.
Build your coil, my favourite coil is 6 wraps around the 3mm section.
4.
Insert the coil legs into the post holes, push the coil close to the posts and ensure it is directly above the airflow and that the wire is not touching the deck and then screw the posts down to hold the coil in place.
5.
Snip the excess wire coming from the rear of the post holes and then pulse the coil to ensure it is glowing evenly from the centre outwards:
If you are not getting an even glow then you will need to pulse the coils with your mod and adjust with the tweezers until they are glowing evenly.
6.
Cut your wick around the same width as the base.
Twist one end of the cotton and feed it through the coil ensuring it has a nice level of resistance
7.
Snip the wick flush with the edges of the atomiser
Next comb the wick with the tweezers to ensure it nice and fluffy
8.
Soak the wick in e-liquid, and tuck it loosely down into the juice channels underneath ensuring you stay well clear of the air hole under the coil.
A great tip for wicking is where the wick exits the coil, make sure it is nice and puffy as it comes down.
Many people tuck the cotton down so tight there is no room for it to breathe, which restricts the juice flow and leads to dry hits.
9.
Give it a quick test fire to ensure everything is working as it should.
If so, time to reassemble it!
10.
First slide the tank on, ensuring it is secure on the bottom O Ring.
Now slide the chimney on and screw it in place, ensuring you do not disturb the wicking.
Now you need to make sure the juice control is turned off, you can tell by the windows in the sides of the chimney.
Open:
Closed
If your juice flow is open then use the adjustment tool to close it off.
Place the juice flow adjuster over the nut at the top of the chimney and turn it clockwise to shut the juice off and anti clockwise too open it up again.
Once you are convinced the juice flow is off then you can fill the tank up via the top fill.
Once the tank is full of eliquid you can then screw the securing ring on top to hold it in place and open the juice flow back up to start vaping.
Here she is in all her glory:

Hope the above was helpful!
