    Question here: What is the easiest rebuildable tank in your opinion?

    Well I am absolutely NOT the authority on RBA's hehe, but I know a few things. I had tried a few Subtanks (probably still using too high NIC) but seemed rather harsh. Went into a vape shop and EVERY employee was using the Steam Crave RDTA's. Asked why, guy showed me how easy they were to build, etc. At that time they were using the 1.0 and it was for horizontal coils, which I now find out are harder to build on.

    As far as ease of building you just need one that has a large enough build deck, which I believe the newer SC RDTA's have. Doesn't have to be huge, but big enough so you can easily stuff in two coils without any worry of it shorting out on the cap, which I've never had. Vertical coils are much easier to build into the deck (coils are coils, wrapping the same regardless of how you orient them). I don't care for all the clapton coils, alien coils, chain link coils, blah. I just use 24 ga. Kanthal with about 7 wraps around a 30mm shaft. Easy peasy, comes out to about .32-.35 ohms every time.

    Coil Master makes a SUPER easy coil jig, as well as an even BETTER little kit which I bought, and HIGHLY recommend. Has scissors, tweezers, little screwdrivers, as well as the coil building jig. Sounds hard, is totally NOT hard, and after your first few wraps, you're good to go.

    Lot's of rebuildables out there, and if you search for Steam Crave RDTA reviews, pretty much everyone raves about the flavor. Depending on the gunk factor of your juice you might be able to run a week or two on the cotton, heavier darker juices maybe a day or few depending. Gets funky, pull cotton out with tweezers, dry burn/rinse coils, tuck in new cotton, easy peasy. I had no idea it was so easy. Sure, I messed up a few coils at first, but after you do a few, that's all it takes.

    Coil Master 100% Authentic DIY KIT Tool SET V2 with Latest Coil Jig (V3) Ohm Meter Tweezers 24g A1 Heat Resistant Wire - - Amazon.com

    Highly recommend ^^^^ Coil Master kit, makes everything much easier. Don't think ANY rebuildable is perfect, and some leak when you lay them on their sides (just sit them upright), but the flavor AND ease were my biggest concerns. I did try the Steam Crave Ultimate with adjustable air and juice flow, but it made me mad when filling as it leaked a bit. Right back to the 3ml and 6ml RDTA v. 2's.

    I can't speak to the plus/minuses of horizontal vs. vertical coils, I've just had better luck with verticals. Horizontals you pull cotton all the way through with two tails sitting down in the juice well, Verticals you trim off the cotton just above the coil, and leave one big cotton tail down in the juice well.

    Ok, first things first, YES, I have the vape band twisted in the top pick, DUH. I think I may have made a mistake going with 12mg on this load. Still living in the high NIC days of my cartos, and probably should have gone down to maybe 6mg or even 3mg. The House Blend moved in like it lived there !!!!!! Massive clouds as you would expect from the "No added PG" mix, very good (maybe too much, but MY mistake for the 12 mg NIC) throat hit, and the flavor ...........

    :vapor::vapor::vapor:

    :thumb::thumb::thumb:

    OutSTANDING !!!!!!!! I can't believe how much MORE flavor I'm getting compared to the olden times cartos. Flavor is easily 5/5 now. Everyone I spoke to said that was what the Steam Crave RDTA's were known for, and they were right. The curious thing is that I'm almost getting more of a chocolate note now, and far more than before.

    I was probably the LAST person on the planet to let go of cartos, and finally move on to rebuildables, fearing leaking, fussy fussy fussy-ness, and / or hassles building coils (who the hell has the time for that ??? !!!!)

    Sadly with all the inexpensive Kanthal wire, super cheap Japanese organic cotton, and myriad of YT videos, and the SUPER EASY Coil Master coil jiggs, anyone can do it super easy.

    FV, NO regrets whatsoever loading the all VG House Blend into the RDTA, as it was ALL plus, and no minuses. I have to scour the Copper Creek (you're HOW old ??) website and see if I can activate my (you put HOW much NIC into WHAT...) coupon for a 3mg or 6mg bottle. Only problem was MY mistake.

    House seems NEW again, and that's a hell of a thing.

    Shout out to the Posse !!!

    WOW! I'm so happy for you! I still do Cartos with HOUSE...I recently changed everything over to an Aspire mni. I like it but it doesn't like HOUSE hence still using Cartos.

    I did see the purple that nothing else matches! I almost went with the skulls to go with my skull drip tip, but figured I'd get it some clothes from J-wraps.

    Now I see I missed a bunch of stuff while I was stuffing myself with PIE. Let me go back up.

    I love my camper. It's neat, clean and organized. It's far enough away from the house that I feel like I'm on vacation even if I'm only there for a day. Victor loves it because he can people watch and we walk the trails in the woods.

    Here's the thing. I don't now what goes with what. What wire,what OHM,what volt and how to determine what of all those things matter if one is perfectly happy with a 1.8 coil at 10 watts.Do you test them so they don't blow up? Do you need to be able to read the number that matters with that meter with 6,000 arms? I don't want to sub ohm.I want to regular ohm whatever that is. I don't need clouds or high temperatures. I just want something that recreates a cigarette.So if I get a sub ohm tank do I have to sub ohm it? On top of it all .. I have to have all questions answered before my eyeballs roll to the back of my head.I got to the middle of the video and all of a sudden I was thinking about whether I should watch the Olympics or the 12th Season of Poirot...Then I thought about Bananas and that pretty much ended any attention span I initially started with.I;m by nature a very creative person (read dumb as a rock) Numbers aggravate me..I hate numbers.Numbers and logical things cramp my style. Having said that I would really like to have a nice set up so that I can quit buying things I don't know how to use. I too bought a Radius from Provape this evening in purple because it matches nothing. I would like it to have a nice rebuildable atty (is that still a phrase?) to go along with it.I do have one they call "The Russian" that's suppose to be pretty nice. Maybe I can stay alert long enough to watch the reviews.

    Sounds kinda like heaven except it's missing a beach, but woods are nice..

    So day 2 of government oppression.I'm beginning to feel like I'm in a Russian Gulag awaiting sentence...My Grandpa was a bootlegger.It's a shame he didn't leave notes because bootlegging seems cool right about now. Anyway I'm off to buy stuff.
