DIY E-Cigarette Coils: A Comprehensive Tutorial

Have you ever wondered if winding coils for your e-cigarette is really just for professional vapers? Let me prove you better: Anyone can learn how to wind coils themselves, and the benefits are obvious. This tutorial is aimed at all vaping enthusiasts – from cloud chasers to flavor hunters – who are ready to take their vaping experience to the next level while saving money and protecting the environment.

Why self-wrapping is worth considering:

Cost savings

Making your own coils is far more cost-effective than buying pre-made atomizer heads. With a small piece of wire and the appropriate wick material, the material costs are in the cent range.

Longer lifetime

Once you've mastered winding, self-wound coils last longer than ready-made coils and can be used multiple times by simply changing the wick.

Individuality and independence

Self-wound coils offer incomparable freedom to design the vapor development, the taste and the intensity of the flash according to your own ideas.

More intense taste

Many vapers report an improved taste experience thanks to self-wound coils.

Environmentally friendly

Less waste means less environmental impact.

Choosing the right self-winding vaporizer:

RTA, RDTA, RDA or RBA

There are different types of self-winding vaporizers, from tank systems to drippers. Each type has its own advantages and is suitable depending on your level of experience and preferences.

Required components and tools:

Wrapping wire and wicking material

From Kanthal to NiChrome to stainless steel - the choice of wire and wicking material such as cotton or silicate cord has a direct influence on resistance and flavor development.

Tool set

Special tools make changing diapers easier, but are not a must. A good kit includes everything you need to get started.

Step-by-step instructions for wrapping yourself:

Preparation of the wire

Clean winding starts with washed hands and the right wire. Calculate the resistance and turns for your perfect heating coil in advance.

Installation of the heating coil

Position the coil correctly on the base deck of the evaporator and secure it.

Annealing of the winding

Annealing removes manufacturing residue and helps ensure even annealing distribution.

Threading the cotton

The cotton should be pulled evenly through the coil and placed appropriately at the ends.
