RDA A BF RDA I'd like to see more of

[oplholik]

First of all, I'm a single coil builder, and use the BF's on my Reos . I'd like to see more inexpensive 2 posts rda's that don't have one post so close to the edge. If the posts were closer together, it would eliminate some of, if not all, having to bend the coil legs to fit the coil between the posts. My builds are 30 gauge wire, about 7 wraps for a 1.4-1.5Ω,short coil. So, probably not enough demand for something like this for many to produce it.

The dotmod Petri has a neat two post design, along the lines of what you're looking for... but doesn't have a bottom feeder center post. In fact, with that insulator covering the deck, it's hard to say what's going on. You can presume that one of the deck posts has a threaded offset under the insulator for the 510 post to screw into.

Were I looking for what you're looking for, I'd be inclined to buy a cheap clone from FT... just so I could pull it apart and see if it can be converted to BF by simply drilling the post, or installing a pre-drilled post.

I love these: $5.76 A6 Mini Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Easy enough to drill the center post. Cheap enough to learn by botching a few. They are the same as the RM3. The top cap needs to be drilled for air, but stock might work for your build preference. I drill mine for dual coils. Even though the topcap comes drilled for a single coil there are 3 posts. Always nice to have a spare negative post in case the one becomes a spinner.

Easy enough to drill the center post.

Is the center post SS, or plated brass?
I don't have a drill press, am wondering if I should attempt drilling by hand or "slot" the pin, with a dremel.
Thanks

 

[oplholik]

As they are cheap, I'd guess the posts are plated brass.

Aside from the RM, is there any other inexpensive two post bf attys?

 

[oplholik]

None that I'm aware of.

Do a search for Manta V2, to see if this might be for you. I think Todd has a video.
Catfish has a clone for $52 shipped.

One of the more "no muss - no fuss" ways to convert to a BF is with a Fat Daddy Vapes conversion kit for $7. Scroll down about 1/3 the way. There's a link to a conversion video as well.

Yes, they are brass and drill like butter.

Yes, they are brass and drill like butter.

I have to wonder if drilling a plated brass pin is safe? Not sure if direct exposure of the juice to the brass is a good thing. Anyone know anything about this issue?

Does anyone have a tutorial on how to BF an atty? I have one of the Fat Daddy Vapes kits and can't figure out how to do my FSM.
