So is your avatar bones holding up that medicine that he inadvertently injected? Maybe city on the edge of forever(or something close to that) the one with Joan Collins.

Perhaps one day. They probably have some real good ones these days and I'm afraid I will like them so much that my hi end rtas will just sit. I think it's my pride perhaps, there was just a pride thing about rebuilding when drop ins first appeared. Maybe something that wasn't said, but I think rebuilders always thought those drop ins were for newbs or for those that weren't good with their hands and some took pride in that (stupid, I know). Also its probably because I just like building things, makes me feel good in a way . I think I got another 10 years before I might not be able to rebuild, so I'm holding on for now...

Actually I have to agree, I quite enjoy making coils and playing with cotton wicks lol. Trying different builds just to see if you can find that little bit of an upgrade. It's prob because I'm spending way to much time at home these days also, but it's almost like a hobby as well and keeps me busy at times.
I have to admit I'm down to one drop in now, just my breeze II pod, and thats just for outside ventures.

The people I know who switched from rebuilds to dropins simply do not like fooling around with rebuilding. Dropins are merely a convenience for them. Enough so that they don't mind paying a lot more money. I know rebuilding doesn't thrill me anymore. I'm long past that stage. But I am a cheap bastich and that's why I still rebuild. And it takes me no time to whip out wicks and coils anymore. I can do it blindfolded. So it's not like it's a hassle or anything. Especially when you make a dozen coils and a few dozen wicks at a time.

Yes, this is me - I know you've been at it a lot longer than me, Bronze. But I'm a tinkerer, and enjoyed building at first. Building only takes a few minutes, especially if you pre-cut a bunch of KGD and make dozens of coils at a time. So it's no real pain, but there's definitely no challenge or sense of adventure or accomplishment to it after a short while. And it's not a matter of affording it, but I'm a tightwad at heart, and it'd just make me feel stupid to start spending a few bucks every few days to a week on a coil. My only significant experience with drop-ins was Nautilus BVC, and it always seemed the same. Day 1- break-in, just okay. Day 2- Ahhh, perfect. Day 3- declining performance. Days 4+ - just wondering how long I'd put up with it before giving in to replace it.

One of the great things about building (aside from costing virtually nothing) is that you don't have to wonder if your taste buds are just off, or anything like that. You can inspect your coil and wick and see in an instant if you're really due for a rebuild. That, and I don't have to ever worry that they'll quit making my favorite coil.

I hear yuh. I'm a tinkerer too. Fix just about anything house or car related. But I don't enjoy that either. I'm motivated by cost (and lack of trust for the repair guys).

Not to mention the pride behind doing it yourself. I'm the same way when it comes to cars and home. Knowing that I have the ability, time, knowledge, etc of getting it done yourself. Granted, I won't be running out to rebuild an engine. But brake pads, or some other easy car project, i'm all over it.

I have to admit, I use to enjoy rebuilding a lot more, as I really thought i could find a combination of sorts that would change the vape world. I did it all and experimented almost everyday but now it's over and found my particular best. I didnt change the world, but it was fun and hopefully made a few contributions

Took 12 minutes. Will last me more than a year. I waste 12 minutes every morning deciding which leg to start with when putting on my pants.

Yep...paired with this = 3-4 min rebuild.

Takes me longer than 3-5 minutes to rebuild/dry burn/etc. Maybe 5-10 minutes. But yeah, not much time. Not enough to justify spending a few bucks on new coil/atomizer. Maybe I'm just a cheap ....

 

[Rockford]

Since I've been rebuilding my rta's, when I need to re-wick I just build a new coil every time. I'm wondering if most do this or do they clean their coil and if so how do you clean it and is it worth it?

 

[bask]

Took 12 minutes.

Material, gauge (or mm), ID, wraps?

I’m looking for some inspiration. A while ago I fell back to the stinkies, because I felt like constantly dicking around with a gurgling and sometimes leaking Prime in TC on a Jac V B and a gurgling KM3 and meh AF Siren 2 on a VaporFlask Lite with sketch TC wasn’t working for me. And I’ve even messed with 14mm RDA’s and Gennies in the past. I feel like this shouldn’t be this hard.

Currently on a Nautilus AIO with nicsalts (disliked the TH above 6mg), which will be great to fall back on. But I really still love the idea of rebuildables and there’s no AF as smooth as the Prime’s.

And I’ve just taken it off the shelf, washed and cleaned it again. I’m just sitting here, not really motivated to get back on the horse. But I feel it would be good to. Maybe getting some 28gauge (0.3 or 0.32mm) SS wire. I loved 26g, because it’s stiffer, but the tank gets too warm to my liking. And I’ll just replace all the o-rings to be sure it’s all UE (the leakage).

I dry burn my coil n brush off the ash. They can last for months. I think the only reason why I change my coil is because I can. To keep from deforming your coil, twist the wick down just prior to entering so it is thinner than your coil. Once inserted you can untwist it.

 

[gnees]

Not sure of the time. But I can wrap 10 to 15 coils, per beer.

I'm a fast drinker.

I do temp control. Keeps it from hot boxing...among other things.

26ga, 316L SS, 2mm inside diameter spaced, 6-7ish wraps, .45 ohms, 430F, 17.5W (cuz this is where I stopped and I'm too lazy to figure out again how I'm supposed to change it).

Do you use the can for a mandrel?

From what I've seen, most dry burn & rewick. I'm in the minority, but replace the coil every time. I've tried dry burning multiple times, and it gets it near new. But then it doesn't seem to last as long before needing a rebuild for me. Only about $0.02, and I can throw on my self pre-built coil as fast as I can dry burn & rinse. Maybe faster, since I'd have to be careful in removing the wick when dry burning. Also, some may be concerned about the Dr. Farsilanos thing regarding metal dangers when dry burning, but that's not why I avoid it.

Do you wash under water at all? What do you brush it with? metal brush or?

No water. I have a brush from an old Norelco electric shaver I use. Never used it for the shaver but works great for brushing off ash. When I'm lazy (most of the time) I just blow it off.

I seen a video once of a guy rinsing it under water, then dry it with a cloth, then dry burn it, he repeated this a couple times, so I tried that then figured I could build one way faster so haven't bothered with the price of wire being so cheap
