kanger did that after the first few tanks came out, the same coil fits every device except the first couple which was nice. it sucks having to buy 3 different coils for 3 different tanks etc.
It would be nice but nearly impossible to get the main clearo Mfg'rs to make a universal coils size that would fit everyones device of course the device would all have to be the same in so far as the mounting, threading and area where it mounts -vs- the chimney location.
I think it would limit design ideas to a degree but would surely be good for the consumer Ha Ha!

Not too much experience dripping, but lots of positive comments about the plume veil. I would like to try it.
Plume Veil
That's another of my favorite RDAs. It's right up there with the Magma and the Dark Horse, for me!

2. Wow, trying to keep up with this thread is almost impossible. I've just read through pages and pages of posts since this morning! Lots of great information though!
I forget what all I wanted to say now.
On the subject of drip tips, I have a variety of them, the style, shape and material do make a difference in the flavor and warmth or coolness of the vape to me. I like the tower style tips the best for some of my tanks and I like the wider bore tips for drippers and the subtanks. I rarely use the tips that came with a tank. I also don't like acrylic or plastic tips at all. I prefer metal or glass. It's all a matter of preference and what works for you. I bought a huge glass wide bore. super tall tip the other day. I had no clue how big it was going to be when I purchased, it was pretty and looked smaller than it is. I've come to like it even though I look funny taking a puff on it because it's so wide.
I've never paid more than a few dollars for a tip though, I don't see paying $20 or $30 for a tip, I'd rather buy another tank for that much.

WOW ! ! ! There is so much that's been said that I want to respond to for the past 2 days was going to write a huge post up last night, but thought better about it until today and glad I did . . . So - going to divide it up a little to make it easier for everyone, especially "Me" since I can get carried away sometimes . . .
AND - As thestate first post NEEDS to be . . .
Something I would like in - or see in - the CactusEsmokes Mechanicals & More store:
GREAT IDEA - Particularly for someone who is new and even somewhat interested in "Rebuilding" coils . . . Although I am very hesitant for a number of reason - nor really wanted to get into "building coils at all (Since I really want & need to keep things as simple as it was to purchase a PAC) . . . The one thing that keeps "Me" from even going forward in any attempt to start this process is not only that everyone has a different opinion on what is needed or someone should use - It is the complexity of trying to find what is NEEDED to even attempt a trial run, and worse having to go to so many different venders site to find where I can get all the "Stuff" at a reasonable inexpensive price and then have to pay all those shipping cost on top of that . . .
SO YES - A Beginners RBA/RBD Kit ! ! ! OH YEA - Without a doubt, it would have to include all the basic tools, different types/sizes of Wire, as would different "wicking" materials (including the Rayon Cellu Cotton), and most important of all - even though there are a vast number of "How To" videos out there for people to watch - WRITTEN CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS ! ! !
Now even with that said - I am probably not going to change "My" mind about getting into rebuilding coils (matter of fact, I have 3 generic RBA that I am going to be getting rid of) - but I am sure some people would find this all in one kit very helpful if it was available to them . . . Just Sayin' . . .
BBL . . .
you like many people probably have some of the tools already around the house, needle nose pliers and a small pair of wire cutters, you can by cotton balls organic or not at a local drug store if you dont already have them and a roll of kanthal wire from Temco (28ga is a great starter and beyond size) for $5 or $6 shipped free from Temco, if your device has an ohm meter then ythat will work fine for ball park readings of resistance so, really aside from wire an atty is all you need to buy many come with a small blue screw driver, I prefer an ordinary 1/8" drill bit for 90% of my coil ventures. if you have most of the basic stuff already then it is a small cost to get started.
I offered free basic attys to a FB group I belong to here for anyone that wanted to check out building attys and the crickets chirped....
I notice the difference in flavor and vapor by changing drip tips too. I've gotten so I don't like anything with a small hole at all any more.
I do like metal, but I know there are a lot of people who don't.
you do not need a torch. if you feel you have to heat your wire then a bic lighter works fine. ask Tick he has his wife hold the wire while he heats it so he doesnt burn his fingers

wow ...I checked these out on the site and only $4.00. I really need some of those as that is exactly what I was looking for to taste different juices. Right now I only have 3 tanks and 2 vaporizers and if I get new juices I have to wait to try them and it drives me crazy.....I guess everyone has a lot of different tanks which I hope to get but these would work out great in the meantime. Thanks for mentioning them!!!
The ash trays are great on the desk for holding paper clips and things, and some else mentioned using one as a spoon holder on the stove. Just throw away the ugly ones and repurpose the nice ones!
vapers that relapse should consider another big lawsuit against the FDA, ALA, ACS, big tobacco etc. for health related expense and deaths... kind of like a group etc. removing airbags and seat belts from cars because of some sort of agenda... bad analogy but you get my point. shame on any group that wants to ban Vaping because of political correctnes or monetary agendas!
And not just delrin. I really like the look and function of the Kamry K1000 epipe, but that long aluminum pipe stem... it has a very cool vape, which I don't mind, but the vapor condenses and the next hit can be a bit damp. And here I thought I was done with pipe cleaners...
I do have wire, depends on how much you want. I will just send you some no charge just PM me.
if you need a full roll I would point you to Temco

Such good information to have. One of the reasons I never really got with the kayfuns was watching my friend take his apart to recoil, especially when there was still juice in the tank. What a mess to deal with! So it sounds like this comes apart just like my beloved protanks, which is a much better design for when you need to refill, rebuild or just tinker and fine tune your coil.
Kanger should emphasize this because it makes me want one even more! Thanks for the post Kathi
Yeah, it's just like your beloved Protanks in ease of filling, and if you've got a tank full of juice and need to change a stock coil in the middle, you don't need to empty the tanks!
you are right about most of that Tick but I no longer have a smart phone but it does do Text messaging as well
Indeed the T3D is a little known tank, much like the mini protank 3 (very little difference) or a baby Aerotank mini. few shops have them. I have always loved them.
I think I have what stock is left for cheap... just looked, yea $4.00 not bad as they used to go for around $10 or $12.00. I know a few shops that still have them for around $8 to $10

Everyone has pretty much answered "Your" question, however I would like to add that - IMO - having this attitude and perspective to connect to your customer base really makes a difference between a decent/good vender and a GREAT Vendor for almost all of the people here on ECF, especially to those who are struggling with the "Transition into the Vaping World" for a number of reasons . . . THANKFULLY - I have meet a few of them . . . AND - From personal experience, I for a fact know that if there weren't for the ECF "Family" I have gotten to know well and venders like yourself who have gone out of their way - I probably would not be continuing to be so determined to become a "Full-Time" vapor . . . Just Sayin' . . .
As many people here can probably tell Ya' - I've so . . . BEEN THERE ! ! !
SO DITTO ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ What He Said . . .
YEA - I know . . .AND - THANK YOU for the invite (some others have also tried to entice "Me" to take a seat on the porch too
), however given the tenor of some of the conversations - and being the "Old Curmudgeon" that I can be at times - I really think it is better if I stay in that tree just "lurking"
, especially when I can learn so much from all those other "Curmudgeons" . . .
OKAY - You "Cacti" are Very Very Bad . . .
AND - NOT NICE to leave "Us" all in the dark by not providing a link to the other thread for anyone that wants to become a "Cactus" here:
"ME" ? ? ? ?
Anyway - THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU . . . I really do appreciate "You" going out of your way to assist me in finding a "True Menthol Tobacco" to become "My" ADV and help to finally become a "Full-time" vapor . . . However, "MINT" ain't gonna do it - nor even come close, especially since almost every "Menthol" I've tried out there is made with some form of mint that just doesn't work for "Me" . . . That's just one of the reasons why this has been so hard to find an "E-Liquid" with a "True MENTHOL" Flavor . . . They all taste very sweet and similar to the supposed menthols like Salem's/Newport's/Winston-Marlboro-Camel-BH/etc. which I could never ever stand even when I was desperate for a cigarette . . . NONE of them tasted or had the "Menthol" like "Kool" cigarettes . . . Even though I will probably never find anything like that "TRUE Menthol" I would like to get somewhat close to it . . . BTW: I also try to avoid any "E-Liquid" that has "diacetyl", "acetoin", and any "Suger/Sugar Subsitutes" too . . . NOT GOOD ! ! ! Especially for those of "Us"' with Diabetes . . . Just Sayin' . . .
SO DITTO ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ What She Said . . .
To be honest - While personally I would really like to share and PIF to "You" - I'm sorry to say . . .
NOPE - NA DA - NOT HAPPENING ! ! !
At least not right now - "You" just gonna have to wait, since it's been too cold down here for the past couple of days since you all keep sending down that "Artic Blast" . . . It was in the 30's at night (Broke records here) and it hasn't warmed up yet . . . So - Maybe when "We" get back to "Normal" temps Ya' can have some . . . Just Sayin' . . .
Okay - I think that's enough, at least for this post . . .
Nothing else to read here - "You" Can All Move Along . . .
Nice Post! really nice post! Thanks!

Your welcome.
it's funny how the different tanks, drippers and clearo seem to change the taste of a juice. I still use my egos, spinners as well as my mod and vamo, plus the Box Troll. each gives the same taste pay but muted, softer, harder and sometimes even changing it a bit. Why I drip some juice, use this or that tank or clearo with another. Funny how one is awesome in a simple T3 but is not dripping or using a tank and the same goes backwards. Not that the juice is bad but how I like the flavor. mmm, ok, I think I am rambling on. oldtimers at it's finest...

once you get a device that comes with a chuff or accepts a chuff an entirely new world opens up... Its ridiculous Ha Ha!
laughs, sure if you don't mind passing out from lack of breath til you get use to it. Bruce has tried many things to kill me in the past. Dripping, (burns and sharpe little bits of metal in my fingers and feet), Mister Owl (steals things and stares at ya til you just curl up in a little ball), chuff drip tip if you can call it a tip, (first breath, was hotter than heck, full of hot juice and took all my breath). Fell over, hit my head on a sharp rock, (don't ask, it's my story), then bleeding fell off the chair into a thousand foot hole in the floor, (rumoured it was one of the pits of hell by the old owner) finally to hit bottom, (not mine, the bottom of the pit of hell) and waking up to see 3 dogs looking at me funny...
gee thanks Bruce.
It's almost like the ex has promised him half of the insurance money.
But I hear he loves his other friends and customers.......
