So I like this repairable CE2 method because its fast and solder free. I've become better at soldering, but I still prefer not to do it if I can avoid it. I've vaped these CE2s hard after this mod and they do hold up, despite the lack of 'definite' electrical connection. And they run like a fog machine, no issues.
1) Make your coil
2) Check your resistance at the point where the coil will 'leave off' the wick, as this is where the coil will make first contact with the plug in ports
3) Slide the coil into 27 gauage hypodermic tubes (I've done this with nichrome 32 and 34 gauge, both slide into 27 gauge tubes. I want to order some 24 gauge and see if I can get the same connection with a tad more stability).
4) Insert into cup
5) take the post contact, and make a curvy shape of your choice, tucking the end up into the heat shrink. I like this shape because it allows me to push the entire tubing/coil up bilaterally for later wick replacement/tube adjustment, and the wick threading step below
6) You may have to tap (gentle hammer) the connector base to get the post to go up into the cup...its tight, and that's the point. In doing so if you force the connector skirt up and over the actual post, no worries, just push it back down snug. Before doing so cut your post contact hypodermic tube to a size that will make for a tight fit between the inner battery connector wall and the silicon plug that sits around the post
7) Check your resistance, and rip a few dry burns to make sure all is in order
8) Thread your wick through (100% cotton yarn! WOOT!)
