I spent many months re-wicking but not rebuilding... primarily because I bought a boatload of spare heads when I first started vaping. However, I finally started reaching the end of life on some of the coils and, at the same time, picked up my first RTA. So I got myself some 30 ga. kanthal, watched a bunch of videos, and am now pretty competent at rebuilding single coil kanger heads. I'm still experimenting with what to do with dual coil kanger heads--I've tried a vertical coil in one, but the method I used was pretty time consuming, and I think I completed it out of luck rather than any skill--and my RTA has a pretty simple single coil deck, so I haven't done too much experimenting there....

I do rebuild...a variety of drippers and also rebuild my protank heads. I'm a bit lazy when it comes to building, so I usually look for whatever will still vape at that moment and, when everything needs changing/rebuilding, I'll make a bunch of new coils and heads at one time. The reason I rebuild is that is better performance, flavor and economy.

Thanks for this weeks contest!

I've been rebuilding for a while now. I can vary the ohms to whatever I'm in the mood for, (usually about 1.5Ω to 2.0Ω) and the flavor - vapor production is better than any stock coils I've ever used. Also there is nothing better than the taste of a brand new coil and wick, and it seems to be across all toppers, tanks, RDA....etc.

Yes, I do rebuild. Kanger Heads (i like Protank V1 & Mini V2). I Also rebuild Kayfuns. Using 28 & 32 gauge wire. On the kangers I usually go for about 1.5 & 2.0 Ω. On the Kayfuns I usually go .9 to 1.1 Ω, but i do vary it up a bit depending on juice & device i want to use it on. I use cotton for wick. I rebuild because it's cheaper & I enjoy doing it, it's fun. I have found like most have the kanger rebuilds are much better in all aspects then the factory ones.

Thanks as always for another great contest & prize package.

Good Luck Everyone.

I don't rebuild at this time. I educated myself and practiced, stocked up supplies for the Vapocalypse, but no big desire just yet. I have lots of cheap new heads that hit my sweet spot, so I'll wait until I start running low. The used heads wait in a baggie for future attention. It's pretty convenient to just swap in a new head every couple weeks.

Yes, I do rebuild. I've used mainly protanks (until recently), so I have learned to rebuild the Kanger Heads. I also have a couple of cheap RBA/RDAs that I am now building on as well, and they are getting more and more use lately.

I like that I can, inexpensively, have a fresh new wick and wire to vape with in a short amount of time. Can't beat the cost of kanthal and cotton! TYTYTY for the chance at this great prize!

I build my igo dripper and sometimes do my kanger coils. I have more trouble with the kangers, they usually wind up tasting burnt and are often leaky. I wish I had a foolproof method to do a better job with them. I've watched a bunch of videos and think I am doing things right, but I must be doing something wrong (If anyone has a youtube link to a good one, I'd appreciate it :):):) ) But I can make a nice one that is reliable for the dripper. The thing I like most about building is that I am more self-reliant and know that I will always have something to vape. Thank you for the contest Crowedude654!

I do rebuild. I enjoy rebuilding everything I can; RBAs and RDAs for myself, and even Heads for things like the ProTank and others when I do them for other people. I like being able to customize the wick, wire, and ohms to suit my needs, or the needs of others that I do it for when the send me Heads. I have always been the techie type and don't mind taking the time to fiddle and tweak to get a wick and coil setup just right. Plus, rebuilding is so much cheaper!

Thanks for the contest and a chance at this great prize package! :thumb:
