It's pretty easy if you have some reading glasses and a little bit of patience. I guess not everybody needs reading glasses

I used to rebuild Vision Vivi Nova heads, and it looks like rebuilding Aspire Nautilus heads are a bit easier to rebuild than Vivi Novas.

The two most essential tools in my tool box are a pair of cheaters from the big-box pharmacy and an idiot string so I don't misplace the cheaters. (I'm 68, so I'm entitled to use cheaters. ;))

So rdta or rda?

Get both. They are really cheap nowadays. If you are worried about juice consumption then get drippers with single coil builds. I still use my old school IGO L's regularly. I have nimbus clones that I build with just one coil and they are great too.

I do prefer tanks in general. Fill it and forget it. I don't think anyone can give you advice on what to choose until you try them both first. They each have pros and cons. I personally like using both almost daily but use tanks more than drippers. There are insane deals going on right now for all kinds of tried and true hardware. Jump in a little and check it out.

I was looking at a griffin . Has anyone had any expirence with these? In using a crown tank and a cleito. Coils will still be sold for 2 mor years, right?
I wish i could say sure the coils will be available for two years but i can't. The honest truth id we just don't know.

I think I'm going to buy a griffin rdta today. Just to give it a try cause a rdta coil will probably last a while like a normal coil I'm assuming, and you don't have to drip it. Right?
NO you don't drip a Griffin.

You will be amazed how long coils last.

My coils lasts 2 1/2-3 months. When the taste goes wonky PULL out the wick Dry burn tge. Kanthal or Stainless Steel coils re wick vand you're vaping again.

Don't Dry burn Titanium or Nickel coils.

Coils last much longer than a one and done replaceable. I rewick every 4-7 days but only replace the coil once a month or 2. Just dry burn the coil between wicks and it's good as new. Rebuilding is exponentially less expensive than disposables as well.
Sure is. I can keep an Atty in coils and wicks for a year for 50 cents or less.

Don't dty burn Nickel or Titanium coils.

Some of us boomers need more than reading glasses. I'm into watch repair so I come well equipped.

I've been rebuilding for 3 years...since the protank era. Today I use Kayfuns, Goblin mini, Ego one clr coils, Cubis rba coils, and subtank rba coils. There are lots of options, but I never buy anything that does not come with a rebuild option. Just too paranoid.

    I have a dozen pairs of cheaters so they're in every room. Sometimes they gather in one spot and I have to spread them out again. My vision has definitely gone downhill in the last 2 years. I had perfect vision till I was 40. Started buying the cheaters about eight years after that. But I only use them occasionally until I hit 50

    It's definitely going to be more difficult and more expensive to buy anything much sooner than you think. Not necessarily in that order. Nobody really knows what's going to happen but definitely some states are going to make our lives more difficult
