I received the 2 I ordered from Eciggity yesterday, took them apart (which was more difficult than it should have been), and gave them a proper bath after ripping out the stock coil. The chimney was on TIGHT and I feared I might break the glass trying to unscrew it, but finally with grippers on both ends I managed to wrench them free.
I built both today. First tried a 3mm 27 gauge kanthal but, like in the past, 3mm just doesn't play nice for me. Dialed it down to 2.5mm and it all fell into place. The post holes seemed a little finicky, but it is most likely due to this being my first bottom post, or "postless" rebuildable. I am also using a new ohm meter, the Geek Vape 521, which didn't want to read my resistance on these Bachelors. All in all, it took about an hour to coil both tanks. Longer than anticipated, but using new tools and new equipment is always an adventure.
Installing rayon for wicking was easy and hassle free. Reassembly, filling was a breeze with no leaking. I did notice and hour or so later than one Bachelor lost a white O-ring from the deck (found it in the sink), but still no leaking.
The flavor, at first, wasn't remarkable, but the airflow was smooth, the vapor dense even with it closed off. The build came out to 1.10 and 1.28 respectively. After only an hour of light use, the flavor kicked in, fully saturated. I've now been using it for most of the evening, 1/4 of the tank empty, not a single dry hit with with periods of chain-vaping. The juice flow control isn't even fully opened, and the airflow is 1/4 notch wide on both sides (yes, I'm a tootle-puffer), but the flavor is phenomenal.
Aside from the learning curve, this has been the best RTA experience I've had to date.
