I'm definitely interested, I just wish I had a B&M nearby that catered for the rebuildable market.
Also the main selling point of these tanks was the fact that they're dual coil, and go well with a VV or VW battery like the MVP2. Also as they're dual coil, vape shop owner was adamant they can take higher burns. Pretty disappointed that's not been the case.
It does seem to be, from what I've been reading, that as well as the improved vapour and flavour produced by using RBAs, there's also significantly less maintanence ie: cleaning seems to be almost weekly as opposed to daily, coils can last far longer, and you've got the added benefit of being able to rewick as opposed to simply throwing out a coil, which again improves longevity.
Another question for those in the know.. Can an RBA like a Kayfun be used on an MVP? Or do I need a new mod? I'm struggling to see the relation between rebuildable tanks and the attys that run them.

Make sure the coil is properly PRIMED before you put ANY power to it. This is the biggest cause of coil failure imho...user error. I know from experience.
Sorry for my ignorance. What do you mean by 'primed' exactly? What do I have to do?

One thing that I found when I started is that the quality of the silica wick most companies use is not very good. Even with diligent cleaning and dry burning, it gets hard to really dry burn properly. Low quality silica will tend to burn when dry burning and then the taste never gets better, it will taste "off" or burned.
If you dont want to rebuild, then you have to replace the coils/ heads more often especially if you use sweet or dark juices.
A good way to test if your silica is good , is to take one of your old heads, remove the wick , use a pair of pliers that you dont mind getting discolored and take a torch, butane or propane and heat it up till it gets red. If its bad it will get brownish, beacause its burning. If its good silica it will go back to white, even if you use molasses like tobaccos. If it gets in the least bit singed DO NOT USE IT.

I was getting maybe 2 days out of the dual coil heads for aerotank v2. I'm sure I could have rinsed them out and make them last longer but said screw it I'll just rebuild one. I used the old protank or evod type single coils in mine with cotton wick. Out of curiosity I was able to chain vape that thing hardcore at 20w without any dry or burnt hits. The tank is a very dependable item. Down side is the flavor wasnt as good as the stock dual coils. Easy to build because you can pull the wick out without messing with the coil or tank liquid. Even though I can get better flavor elsewhere it gets face for being the workhorse that it is.
As mentioned, could have been a bad batch of coils, I've seen my share of these. Especially the ones in the white boxes with a sticker as to brand. Since switching to Genuine KangerTech coils, this hasn't happened. My last 6 purchases were from this seller.

50/50 e-juices also can cause this. Since switching to 70/30 & 65/35 PG/VG, coils are lasting a lot longer, regardless of flavor. There's been one flavor from VaporBeast (Relax Pina Colada, 70/30 PG/VG, very sweet), I was able to vape a whole 30ml bottle w/out needing to change the coil. Though once had to change the flavor wick.

DON'T DRY BURN HEADS THAT HAVE FILLING... OF ANY KIND... that 's the origin of the burnt taste, you've burnt the filling. Watch Dimitris or Grimm Green videos where they take heads apart and you'll see why.
On the other hand, anything with filling will have foul taste after a few tankloads. The only way with these is wash them and throw them into vodka for a week.
Really, after turkey bacon flavor on cartos I don't know why on earth are we going backwards. Vertical coils or not these are mini cartos with less filling meaning they vape worse and retain flavor longer.
If you're going to vape these you'll save money by getting yourself some cartomizers.
