Hello thank you I did wander if it was normal for the coils to burn out so soon . Also I will check the kayfun out thank you . Do they work on the same principle

Yes, they work on the same principle, as in they have a tank that holds juice and a coil that vaporizes the juice BUT you have to build the coil and wick it.
 
Tjankyou this is great info . The batteries I have are I guess cheap variable voltage type .v is one brand . I don't mind buying a good setup but I seem to get sold garbage a lot . . I watched a vid on YouTube of the kayfun . Cleaning and changing the wick seems simple enough and they don't seem expensive . I think I've just realized I've a lot to learn . We're would be a good place to purchase a set up . I have seen them on Amazon but unsure if it is complete or part of
 
The coils in those packs can be dry burned, but only a few times in my experience. Eventually the ultra-thin coil just breaks, or in the case of dual-coils the bottom coil never gets completely clean. Coils in rebuildables can be dry burned back to like new because the wicking material can be removed and replaced.

I'm liking my cheap little Smoktek RSST but will move up to something better when I can afford it. Lately I've started using excessively long wicks, keeping excess length in the tank. When the portion of wick in the coil gets too dirty, I snip it off, discard the dirty wick, dry burn the coil, and pull a little more wick out of the tank into the cleaned coil. Not any more difficult than replacing a clearomizer coil, just need a good set of tweezers.

Upside to rebuildables (IMO) is flavor, vapor production, lack of flooding. Downside is they tend to leak if tilted too much. But then again all the clearomizers I've used had leaking/flooding issues at some point, e.g. if they heated up, battery rand down, had a juice that wicked too well, etc.

It would be easier if you told us what you were looking at, or a budget. There will be a bunch of opinions. istick, dna clone, or larger variable voltage mod would be recommended. Not sure that I would go through amazon? eciggity.com is a place I have used. Waiting on a couple orders from fasttech.com for smaller items. Lightning Vapes — Lightning Vapes - Great Products, Lightning Fast Shipping! Silica Wick, Kanthal Wire, Stainless Steel Mesh, Ekowool and More! for kanthal. the list of websites is extensive. I would just suggest to try and figure out what you think you want and then look for reviews on you tube and info on ECF.

I noticed your in the UK if you take a look at Fasttech I think you will find them a good place to start you can try different setups and not break the bank good luck

Somebody on AAEC found a £7 fasttech one which works great. That is stupidly cheap.

Mine are expensive clones.
