Hello Everyone

[Mordacai]

You remove the screw that makes the centre of the external positive connector of the 510 pin, then unscrew the build deck from the base. This then reveals the internal positive connector screw that also makes up the airflow.

It's possible to alter the tightness of the internal positive connector/ airflow screw and alter the airflow further. Just snug with a little movement of the positive terminal on the build deck gives you the least resistance, really snug with no movement of the positive terminal on the build deck gives you the most.

I only found this out myself by accident @Daniel Forsyth, after cleaning and rebuilding a few times.

Thanks @Mordacai , I shall give a try my next build

Congratz!
Although I see that our vaping preferences are miles apart, I too shall keep a lookout for new parts to improve my vaping experience.
Think I've just about made the "24 hour without analogue" mark, which doesn't make me nicotine free.

Making your own coils seems interesting.
Let me know if it's worth the effort! (although I probz won't be doing so for a while)

It’s actually very satisfying. You get the flavor you want and the vape style that suits you (rather than being trapped by what coils are offered for your tank, you decide the ohms) and you never run out of coils or have trouble sourcing them.

I started last year, and I’m a middle aged grandmother. The hardest part for me is finding the tiny screws if they fall out.

Everyone made it sound so fussy and specific, I honestly thought there was no way I could do it, I’m messy, and I’m no way a perfectionist.

Watch a few videos about the atty, see how the reviewers build them. It’s pretty easy once you know a thing or two. And even the ones you mess up don’t cost but a few cents. All the money you save will buy you a lot of RBAs.

@DeloresRose, a strong magnet is a good way to find errant screws.

 

[Mordacai]

It's the centre screw with airhole that you are looking for, for adjustment.

No worries everyone, pictures always help.

Congrats on your first day. First couple weeks was hardest for me, hang in there.

I got into the rebuilding pretty early in my journey, mostly because I enjoy tinkering and learning new stuff.

That being said after a small investment in tools (which can become another rabbit hole in itself LOL) it is far less expensive than buying the fancy drop in coils.

Also the taste is night and day better. My taste buds are waking up after years of analogs and I have been toying around with some flavored e-juices. Used tobacco flavor only to get started.

What setup are you using to get started?

Wishing you the best

I can recommend the Exvape Expromizer V4 (reviewed by @Shawn Hoefer) for at least a look, the Acrylic makes things a bit more pocket and occasional drop friendly. I'm still waiting on the 4ml Acrylic bubble though. They're reasonably easy to build, can be completely dismantled for cleaning and you can even adjust the airflow a little more by removing the deck from the base and tightening or loosening the screw.

Watched the reviews and read up on this. Top airflow adjust and even a juice flow control. Sounds like a tinker'ers (new word lol) dream. Also read it is one of the oldest "still in production" MTL RTAs and that's says a lot about both how well it is made and how well it works.

Thank you for pointing this out, gonna give it a shot. Now the top of my try next list.

@TheGentleman, simple coils aren't that terrifying The wicking part can be a pain at times though.

Agree 100%

Disregard that last post, not sure how my words got inside your quote ...scratching my head

Thanks again for the tip can't wait to try the Expromizer.

Very well said, AWESOME summary

@rschaad, the V4 the latest incarnation of the Expromizer. It's only been released this year, but they have modified the idea over time.

Their goal has been to make an atomiser that could compete with the best high end atomisers on the market at a more reasonable price point.

YES ... and this helps me from losing them in the first place, haha

Bare feet is the second best way to find screws, usually when you're half asleep.

Going to order one of these soon, quick question.

Have you found wicking a little more difficult to get right with this atty?

One of the reviews I watched said not getting the wicking correct and flooding tank can result in a mouth full of e-liqued since it vents from top of tank.

Don't forget the vacuum cleaner, screws have a very vocal way of announcing there presents as the pass through the blower motor ...heehaw

That’s my method.

 

[Mordacai]

@rschaad, with a 2.5mm ID coil you don't need to thin the wicking too much. Wick length at least the width of the base, push it down to the bottom of the wells and then fluff the wicking in the wells a little to take up as much space as they can without being packed.

That seems to work well, it's one of the easiest I've worked with.

 

[bombastinator]

That’s my method.

It’s also unusually effective for legos

Thanks for the encouragement!

I bought a Joyetech Emode years ago and used that for quite a while, untill it slowly died on me.
After quite a bit of tinkering to save it, I gave up and slowly started analogue again (not my finest moment).

I'm glad to see vaping has become a lot more affordable and for now, am getting used to a Uwell Nnunchaku, coupled with a Nautilus 2 coil.
Still feel a little silly with my little pen; my emode made me look like a pied piper...
