I agree that PT rebuilds are a natural step from doing a few rda coils. I love my rebuilt PT heads. I'm thinking of picking up an A6 from a local shop because it's cheap and comes with a drip tip vs the Igo-L/S which do not. I find that 32ga Kanthal breaks off in the little post holes of my Igo-W so I just wrap the coil legs around the post screws as if the holes aren't there. No big deal for me. I'm used to improvising with all my vape stuff. Cheers! :toast:

I rebuilt my A6 again last night, actually, with 32 gauge Kanthal from TemCo. It came out at 1.5 Ohms. I've had the 32 gauge Kanthal break off in the post hole of the A6, so now I don't tighten down the screws as hard; that seems to do the trick - secure, but not super tight. For me, a single coil in the A6 with the stock dual air holes works very, very well for me. It's a great little unit, really.

I don't know about anyone else, but when I am dripping, I can get nicotine overload really fast. I bought some tobacco juices to drip. I didn't want to load them up in tanks because I don't plan on vaping them a lot. (I don't normally vape tobacco.) Anyway, I bought them at 12mg instead of my normal 18mg because I knew I would be dripping them and didn't want to end up bouncing off the walls. We'll see if it works as planned....

not very easy with old eyes and hands. lol

Edit/Updated
This is the first attempt. Have 1.1 on one, and around 1.5 on the other...(prefer the cotton burn, it was a great vape when I had the original coils in place)

getting a burnt after taste, open to suggestions. :blush: Thanks.



second attempt. think I got it now. ;)

How easy did you find the traditional coils to build? I've only done protank and aro micro-coils, and I found those to be really easy to build and more importantly for me, to handle when installing. I've got kinda fumble fingers and the microcoils seemed to stay together really well. I was afraid to try and build a trad coil because I doubt my ability to space evenly as well as doubting my ability to install the coil without mucking up the spacing.

Just started dripping with 510 bridgeless attys yesterday.....and I agree!! Just a half-dozen good hits of 24mg juice......and I'm on the ceiling!!!:D Guess I'll have to knock my nic level down in the stuff I drip!!!!
I find dripping is like an "unfiltered e-cig"....vs a "filtered" 510 polyfill cart....
Not ready for sub-ohm coil building, etc. --- but these little disposable BA's are pretty neat!!
