So those RBAs fit both the regular crown and the mini? I bought about 10-15 for 10 cents each. That was an amazing deal!

Yes. Both regular and mini. But just original crown/mini, not crown 2, 3, 4 or any other uwell tank.

I know you already have the RBAs, but for those that don't I posted the best places I found on the other thread. Don't wanna post the same post, so here's the link

I can wick a coil but for some reason I'm afraid to make my own coils. I have everything needed to start but something holds me back.
Lately I've been finding it harder to use a pre-wrapped coil then I have to just wrap my own but I initially was afraid to I just didn't think that I was qualified to coil a wire and use it in such a powerful device. I felt like I would need to be an electrician or something when especially if you're using a regulated mod you really don't need to worry about it. I'm now throwing coils that I make in a mechanical mod and using it and have had nothing but success. Of course I build it on a regulated mod or a ohms reader. I'm no good at coiling Clapton though so I use my pre wraps for Clapton it's not like it's something that you necessarily have to do I just recently got 40 Clapton style coils of four different kinds plus two 18 650 batteries for $11.55 shipped so you don't have to really coil your own

I think many people don't get into rebuildables because they think it's harder than it is.
I thought beyond a shadow of a doubt that I wasn't qualified but because of my fear of not having a choice any longer because of Vape bans I went ahead and purchased a few RTA is a couple rda's and some wire as well as some pre-wrapped coils and cotton of course and ohms reader everything basically everything you would need a little kit with all the tools and at the time I was new to everything other than all-in-one devices. After about a month I made my first build it was successful started off my kick of being able to Wick and coil any RDA any RTA perfectly the first time and then proceeded to suck after that LOL anyways I'm now using a mechanical mods not hybrid mechanical though I don't like that idea so maybe I'm not using legitimate mechanical mods but whatever it's been since October that I started all of this

Haha, don't get discouraged. It takes a bit of practice, but after a little while, you can tell by looking at a deck and airflow how you should at least start with it. Sometimes you get it on the first try and sometimes it takes a little experimentation.

Once you get a little skill it's a breeze. Rebuldables will never be as simple and easy as factory coils of course, but there are so many advantages for a low investment of time by comparison.

    Just get some Clapton wire. You’ll be a pro in no time.

    Liionwholesale's having a clearance sale on all LG batteries. They aren't going to be carrying them anymore for the foreseeable future because of LG making a stink about their batteries being sold to and used by joe schmoe consumer.

    Looks like IMR Batteries is dumping their LG's also.


    Damn, I paid $26 for 5 batts at Liion and I coulda got 6 batteries $21 at IMR. Oh well. Those are the breaks. But I do like Jon the owner, so I won't attempt to cancel. HG2 at $3.50 is still a good price.

    I hope this is not the first glimpse of the results of 'back door' pressures to squeeze the vape world into oblivion. !?

    Thank you to whoever found this. My son has butter fingers and (luckily) hasn't had a battery vent yet, but you guys let me replace his drops with fresh and safer batteries. You rock!
