Any Drippers out there that take pre made coils?

[newvaper92]

I recently upgraded to the Istick 30 and Subtank nano, and kinda want to try out a dripper, but do not want to build coils, check ohms etc. Are there any drippers available that take pre made coils? I guess I can wick if needed, but I'm not ready to jump into coil building yet. And if anyone could explain the benefits of dripping over a tank system, that would be great also I know changing flavors without dumping a tank, but any flavor or vapor advantages?

Yes, there a companies out there that wrap the coils for you and you buy like 10. You should still check the ohms to ensure there isn't a short. And if you aren't already familiar with the safety aspects of rdas then for your own sake educate yourself. Flavor advantages vary depending on atomizer. But as a general rule of thumb the smaller the chamber the better the flavor. Here's a link for some pre made coils.

As far as checking ohms- my Istick has an ohms readout, would that be enough to check the ohms before firing it? Not really wanting to buy extra equipment just yet.

Ohms testers are pretty cheap and whats odd is my worst one was the most expensive and my best is my cheapest. I bought the "better" were "better" but found out my little 6 dollar FT special is my favorite.

So you should get one.

That being said when I had an iStick the ohms were always spot on.

You could also get a Kuro Coiler or a Coil Master. Making perfect coils is easy-peasy with those.

IMO, you can use a premade coil in ALL rebuildables.. Is there really a difference between the coil you wrap at home vs one made at a factory by a machine. Heck I pre_make my coils. I tend to wrap 2-3 at a time, so that whenit comes time to change the coil I don't have to wrap a coil. Just mount it.

FWIW, you will still need all the tools and kit for building coils EXCEPT for the coil of Kanthal . The only thing premade coils, avoid is the 30 seconds it takes to wrap a coil.

Exactly. Because you still have to mount the coil then check for hot legs and everything and wick it. It's pretty useless buying those coils imo unless you have a medical condition that makes you unable to make a coil. But you know. That is just like my opinion man lol

You know, it is very easy for me to make a coil. Takes a minute or so. Plus a minute to get all needed stuff on a table and another minute to put it back in place. So, I am thinking about buying premaid coils with my next order from Fasttech. $3 for 50 coils, 3-4 years supply. All of the same resistance and same quality. Why not to try? Feeding my laziness is a steady and enjoyable hobby.

I just received a 50 pack each of 0.1 and 0.15 ohm nickel coils from Fasttech. They did charge a bit more at $9 for 50, but still it's definitely worth it.

I get that. The main point I intended to make but failed is the pre made coils are no substitute for safe practice. I know you know that but I mean with new vapers. They still will need most of the tools and knowledge. Some people may believe we'll it's pre built so it must be safe. Shops online or BMs usually care more about sells than education and I understand why $$$ lol.

I bet a lot of people use prewrapped coils from FT or ebay. I was pretty frustrated myself this winter when my arthritis was bad. I bought a Coil Master, but I think I bought a clone one because its horrible. So as winter comes around again, I'm going to have to do something

some tanks can be turned into a dripper of sorts by removing the fog chamber and the chimney tube

Roxy,

You might want to try the "Artistic Coiling Gizmo" (There's a thread here somewhere about adding a wing-nut and washer to make it even easier). Take a look at this post from super_x:
Coil Gizmo from Artistic Wire | E-Cigarette Forum

Get the deluxe model (with 5 rods). Something like this:
Artistic Wire Coiling Gizmo(R) Deluxe Winder for Jewelry Making:Amazon:Arts, Crafts & Sewing

Much easier to use than the gizmo's, particularly (I believe) for the arthritic.

This.^^ I love mine and it makes perfectly awesome coils each and every time. And I agree with twg I'm thinking it would be much easier to use than the other options having arthritis my hands "lock up" on me sometimes when trying to use small tools (years of gaming, and a few hits here and there with ball pein hammers at work) and I have no issues with the gizmo. If you do decide to try one though go to the local hardware store after you get it and find a couple of washers and a screw with a wing nut to put in the "dip" of the winding rod, it makes attaching your wire a breeze.
