Yes, but I don't have the patience for building my own. I like to throw and go! :)
When I started vaping I bought an Anyvape Davide because it would use either Kanger or Aspire coils. I thought I was smart.

Then I won a Kanger Subtank mini - having the deck, I had to build it at least once.

Never looked back and never bought another tank I could not build on.

Now I have 32 RTAs and no two are alike...

I just hope I never get my wires tangled... nightmare!

can you describe it?

I straighten the core and attach it to a fishing swivel in a clamp - not really necessary, but... Then I thread the wrapper through a Dremel collet (because it was laying there when I started - the wire goes right between the collet jaws), then I run the drill until I run out of wire... easy peasy... I can turn out a usable coil in about 5 minutes...
No need for the swivel, the trick is all in how you hold the two wires.
Say you're doing a 26/32, and your 26 is straightened and you have them clamped in the drill, clamp them so that the 32 is facing down. Then with your thumb and pointer finger, pinch both together tightly, with the 32 running through your palm. The trick is finding out just how tight to pinch.... If you do it too loose, your wraps will be too spaced, too tight and the 26 will start to bend.....just right and you can run the drill as fast as your fingers can take....it gets hotter the faster you go, but I have guitar callouses, I can run it full speed :p

I only use the swivel when running longer lengths... a 3-foot length I run straight. With the collet in the way, I have no worries about callouses (which I have in plenty from working in the broom shop and on the farm).

I learned how to build on a KF, but it just wasn't for me. I have tried so many tanks, including the subtank line, but I just love my Atlantis tanks. I have others, but My Atlantis's are still my faves, mostly because I love the bVC coils and I never get a dry hit. I did want to get a couple of atties, though, mostly for juice tasting and I am very glad I got the one I did. I just wish the other one I ordered at the same time (in JULY!) would show up so I can stop watching the mailbox only to be disappointed, lol. I had forgotten how yummy juice tastes in a dripper.

I never wanted to drip, but I won the Little Boy, so I felt obligated to. Then I got a Trident and a Helios sent to me in a trade. Then I bought an Omega because it was on closeout at the local B&M. Then a Siamese. A LPG/Hobo 2.1. An In'Ax Nano. Somewhere along the way I acquired the Smokeless Owl/Terminator and a Kui with a Nuppin Clone. And lastly the Fishbone...

But I am eyeing the Velocity pretty hard. And maybe the Evil Monk.

So, yeah, I drip a bit...

Won last week's cloud comp at the local B&M...

Sent with one hand, the other is busy vaping.
Got a Kraken and I like it. Got a FastTech Valkyrie and it's just OK (need much more air), and a Mini DID, and a Caravel I adore.

Congratulations! I have a few friends who chase clouds hardcore. I stay at around .5 ohms more or less because I vape the same at home and away and I feel like .5 gives me the vapor an throat hit I am after without fogging up the room too much. Every once in a while I like to chuck a few clouds, though. :)

I originally tried to chuck clouds using a 3/8" drill, but they kept getting away.

Yes. I am that tired...

Well ladies and gents, it's roughly 2:30 in the AM here and I need to up again in about 5 hours, so I'm gonna try to get some shut-eye. If I win, call me... the number is 867-5309...
Nighty-night, @Shawn Hoefer! If you win you will be having a great Thursday morning, I am sure. :)

Oh, and most of my RTA builds are in the .5 - 1.5 range... Even my Big Dripper and Omega are built to .6ish...
