Saw this wrap on google images and it comes from a German forum but doesn't seem to indicate where it's from. Anyone know where it can be purchased?

Has anyone found this anywhere?
I've searched everywhere with no luck.
Maybe this is a do-it-yourself creation?
Thanks!

Well, after using two of the factory supplied coils and wicks, I finally worked up the nerve to build my own coil. First two attempts were failures, but the third attempt worked. It wasn't pretty, mind you, but it works. That 510 adapter is a must have. Had some leaking when using the supplied coils, but that was user error. Didn't bunny ear the wick ends before screwing the the chimney piece down. Cotton was getting caught in the threads I guess. Nailed it with at 1.8 ohms using 29AWG kanthal. I'm loving this RBA base. Totally changes the eGrip. And has given me a new hobby to boot! Vape on.
 
Hey Ray, I guess I need to ask your wife what a mantiac is ;)



Edit: I haven't had to use any replacement seals yet, so I don't know where they belong.
I have leaking issues from time to time usually just as I thought I was good to go. It's an E-vaper thing to me.

But no me either but got to wondering about these seals and I can't figure out where they would go.

Anyone have issues with flavor changing on their egrip? Mind you I'm new to all this but after two weeks in my first RBA coil my RY4 is tasting I guess you'd say muted? MAYBE a lil burnt? Had my girl try it who's had a coil go bad in her nautilus so therefore has experienced that taste and she wasn't quite sure but could tell the flavor especially the caramel was gone. Same bottle I've always used in this thing and even bought a new one. I've cleaned the coil by firing it and running under water. I've switched out the cotton and all to no avail. Next step is replacing the coil but may try the normal base first quickly tonight. I'd assume if it tastes fine with that then I'd need to switch the coil.

I've read a bunch of ppl having their coils last longer in the RBA. I'm still using the one that came in the RBA two weeks later. What taste should I expect when it's clear I need a new coil?

When nothing works to fix flavor, change the coil!

That's kinda my thinking too. Weird it lasted only 2 weeks compared to some but not all coils are created equal. Popping in the original base tonight should answer that question for me. Wish I thought to try it before going to work with a less than pleasant vape. Of course if I don't notice a difference I'm all out of ideas.

Mine seem to last months, but I really only use them when I go out. I've killed coils by dry burning too hot/long though!

I agree -mine is way too airy! Does this also help with the gurgling in the RBA?

But, $23 shipping for 4 16c magnets? I'll have to find a better solution:p

I'm looking this over might buy one. I'm not tech slanted so I don't know what a lot of this means. Magnets? Is that something to replace at times? And what is RDA? I'm thinking rebuild able something, but I'm not into rebuilding I just want a good mod that vapes decently without a lot of maintenance besides replacing the coil as need be.

You can also purchase pre-made coils with organic cotton inside the coils at 1.2 ohm very inexpensively. They are bent perfectly for the RBA base of the eGrip. Might want to check out "Vape NW". That is where I purchase my eGrip and accessories. They have everything in stock and have great prices.

I personally do not like the coil heads. The RBA with my own coil is Awesome. IMO . I used to use an ego twist and a clone kayfun mini when I went out or went to work. And the top always stuck out of my pocket. Now I use the eGrip and it is smaller, vapes and tastes the same or better, and gets me through the entire day easily, and completely disappears in my pocket. I'm buying another eGrip for a backup, as I couldn't do without it now. lol
