This was my most recent build. Coil is positioned as recommended I guess (where coil rod sits on deck.l). Build was around 0.6-0.7. Had it running at around 50w.

I've seen some people complain across the net about having to remove the post screws on the gr1 when installing coils. I only did that on my first build, my method is to pre-trim the leg on one side of the coil measured off of the post screw (pics included, first is before trimming, second is after). I loosen but not remove the post screws, insert the long leg, then insert the short leg. Works great and you don't have to worry about loosing any screws when rebuilding.
Loving this thing. I'm new to squonking and rda's and picked up a gr1 and wasp nano. Put the same simple 26ga SS316L .7 spaced coil in both and only had spit back issues with the gr1. I put this DT

on both and that helped the gr1 a lot but then I took the advice of @Zaryk and tried a softer draw. Solved the problem.

Just thinking out loud here, but a very general frequent fix for spit back is to simply throw more power to the coil.
With the way the GR1's airflow is designed and set so close to the coil, and the coil is so close to the mouth, if you take too hard of a draw it actually blows the juice off the coil and wicks and into your mouth. If it is used on a mech, you cannot adjust the wattage, but you can adjust your draw. Upping the wattage may work, but then you risk juice popping in your mouth, and since the deck is so condensed, the vapor gets very hot at lower wattage than other RDAs.
I really enjoy the small tip, so much so that I bought some more and started using them on other RDAs. I'm in the minority though, I don't like the feeling of any drip tip go farther than the outside of my lips.
I agree. At the time nothing I had was working well so that little guy was the only thing I had that was getting the job done (better than the one it came with), but now I'm using the DT from the KRMA I received and it's better in function and looks.
its just long enough to get past the burn my lips length, and I ordered more shorties in colors that will match the mods that hold them$2.66 SJMY POM 510 Drip Tip - 10mm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Thanks. The red one from the manufacturer of the black one I have is discontinued. Now I can get red.
Just a quick update that may be useful to someone.
On the black deck versions, I was getting inconsistent ohms readings, on all my regulated devices. It left me scratching my head for a little bit until I realised the post slots, where the coil leads go, are also painted. I broke out some 1000 grit sand paper, folded it to fit in the post slots, and removed the finish from the bottom of the slots and it now has stable ohms readings.
If anyone has the ohms jumping around on the black deck version of the GR1s, give this fix a try.

Just a quick update, this is the length drip tip that I find works best. And looks good too imo!
