ok, figured i'd give it a go as I would not be able to Handel the crappy ass ni 200 nickel coils that I just procured... the wicking of the coil is just not enough!!! so I took a new one, and figured, strip it, modify and test... well it works and it works bloody well!!!
Some pictures below of my modification...
First, remove the top section of the coil, done by gripping the top section with pliers and the bottom section then slowly turn and pull.... as you can see it is simply press fitted in place you will end up with the picture below
Then simply remove the pin at the bottom contact point to expose the coil wires and then use your needle nose pliers to simply pull the coil up towards the twisted off top cap...
you will end up with something like this..... the whole setup stripped apart.
Now you simply take your drill and drill out the holes to the desired size. I drilled mine out to 4mm perfect for thicker juice... works like a charm. If you are planning on using thinner juice than let's say a 80/20 mix, then perhaps only go as far as a 3.5mm hole. (the original size is 3mm) You do not need to re wick the coil the amount they have on there is sufficient to simply place it back after your hole re-size. (be sure to clean out all the metal bits from your drilling, you don't want to inhale that crap!!!
After that simply use your needle nose pliers to place the coil back in it's place, pack the pin and the rubber seal back in the bottom section as you found them originally. press fit the to section back again and you are all set...
Here is my finished product, compared to an original ni200 occ coil. as you can see, a clear difference in the hole size.
I have 80/20 vg/pg juice in my setup and works 100% no leaking or gargling, works like a charm!
I did test this with a 50/50 mix I still had and it does tend to gargle a bit with the thinner juice, hence my recommendation if you are going to do this mod, simply do a 3.5mm hole instead of the 4mm and you should be fine...
The coils are now working perfect... absolute turnaround in coil performance, No dry hits (well it's Nickel coils on temp sensing, so not really dry hit but you can feel the shortcoming) with the 4mm hole and the 80/20 juice I have a perfect vape every time... and you can chain vape it to test, I did, no issues at all.. pure bliss
If this guide is to much of an overview I can probably try and do a video of the mod at some stage.. but damn, it's so easy, hehe
Just be sure to grip the coil as I tried to illustrate in the picture below.. slightly turn it left and right while pulling the top section out and you should be sorted.. re inserting works basically the same
Hope that helps guys, enjoy
