New to rbd and have questions

[jcutler123]

The first tank I bought was a nautilus mini and I love it and use it everyday. I wanted to try dripping so I bought an IGO W after I won a chi you. I started building my own coils and tried dripping with a few different liquids. I am not sure if I really like it. I am used to a tank and not having to mess with it so often. My question is should I try a rebuildable tank since I like tanks? Is the kayfun lite plus a good tank for someone new to rebuilds? Any other tank suggestions?

I've found I don't havta mess too much with my Igo w. A coil lasts a few weeks for me, and i change the wick about every two days. I redrip maybe every 10 hits. It's definitely more effort than a tank, but I've found it to become part of my vaping hobby.

yes, a Kayfun would be a great tank, easy to build. Biggest challenge with them is getting the wick right.

I love my drippers but somtimes they can be a pain as you know. I have never used a kayfun, after hearing of the gurgle gurgle problems or dry hits with less than perfect wicking I stayed away.
I realy like the genisis designs. Mine is a prometheus clone but ther are several to choose from.
I didn't care for mesh or auto drip mode, I run dual coils with cottonwicks right into the tank. Cant chain vape you gotta give the wick a chance to catch up.
Also dont go lower than 0.5 ohms on a dual build or i start getting dry hits. Yuck
Just saw a new one on you tube called the big dripper. Rip tripper's review. I hope somebody does a nice clone cuz the original is to pricey for me but as Rip would say " it is sick as ...."

The Kayfun would be a good choice or a Russian 91%. I did a write up on the Russian and i'm sure the Kayfun will have the same issues.

I started building with an IGO-W as well. I built on it for several weeks. I enjoy dripping when at home watching TV and such. I've since upgraded to a Zenith V2 RDA and love it.
I have several Protanks, and I have rebuilt them as well. Not to hard to do, but I've yet to get the wicking right consistently.
About a month ago I purchased a KFL+(second batch). I love it to death! There are plenty of youtube videos for builds. I've done RipTrippers' chimney coil a lot and I like it, but I JUST got done building using this method E-Cigarette Forum - crxess - Blogs and it is incredible!
If you are good with your hands, and get plenty of practice with your IGO, I think the KFL should be fine.

Is your kayfun a clone or authentic? I am always hesitant on the clones but if they work good then thats cool.

Mine is authentic, I'm not a fan of clones, but many around here seem to have decent success with good clones. The EHPro clone rings a bell.

I have an authentic KFL+ and a Black Edition (that isn't black) clone from Custom Mod Creations. Side-by-side I can tell the Svoë is machined nicer, but the clone works okay for the price. I haven't had any leaking or other problems with it. I have quartz nano kits on both of them.

 

[jcutler123]

I am leaning towards getting the kayfun lite plus clone. I would like an authentic but its too much. I just hope I can find something I like since I like building coils and messing around. Its become a hobby now.

Ehpro kayfun lite plus v2 clone from Eciggity has the holes drilled out, probably a good dip into rtas.
Plumveil would be a great dripper, or magma if you want to drip less often. Get a veritas if you want higher juice capacity (less than magma I think) without a concern for leaking.... To name a few

 

[sandersj80]

I currently use a Turtleship SS with a Stillaire RDA. That being my first mech setup, I must say that I find dripping to be rather enjoyable. The taste is phenomenal and the clouds are amazing. I wasn't sure how I would like it but on my spare time, it works great.

 

[HecticEnergy]

Be safe with quality batteries and a good charger. Don't forget your DMM and ohm checker. Knowledge is important too (ohms law)

 

[The Build]

I second the Kayfun Lite Plus...However I am going to stand on a small island and say I LOVE the Kraken. The biggest problem you will have will be the leaking and that will happen with all Genesis Atty's eventually-even when wicked properly. The Kayfun's build is really great, sturdy and awesome looking but the build can be cramped and difficult. I love the Kraken because of the room it has to build-I normally do a dual coil chimney wick with cotton and the flavor and vapor are great although I only use it stationary such as car, desk or home but not on the go as I will leak that little sucker all over the place. One thing I will say is that I have been building for quite a while and drip most often and yet gun to my head the Aspire on a VV/VW is still one of the easiest best (non-leaking) tanks I have ever seen and if it wasn't for the vapor production I would be smoking that all day long-I did try and do a build on it but I got a little assertive and smoked some cotton...and plastic...and maybe metal-nobody knows-just my two cents

 

[AzPlumber]

The Ehpro kayfun lite plus v2 suggested below is a great RTA. The draw is a bit tight compared to a RDA but if your good with the Nautilus it will be just fine and the flavor is great. The wicking is not as critical as some posters would lead to believe.

Hectic, do you have one of these? ^^^ If so can you tell if the vertical hole in the center pin is also bigger.

Sorry, nope, but it's on my wishlist!

I'd check out some youtube vids on the rebuildables and coil styles. That might help you enjoy the RDA's and RTA's more.

 

[Yzrider]

I love my drippers.. Flavor is soo much better but I have a steamboy and it's pretty nice rebuild able. If you do U wick and leave one of the screws out it vapes nice.. I like an airy draw tho so I drill the holes out on everything.. I would definatly try a rebuildable tank atty

 

[SITS]

To the op, if you like dripping but not the hassle of it, have you offered any thought to a REO mod? I will try and post a link but I am on my phone so it's hit and miss. We are down in the forum suppliers section. reosmods.com It is a great product with the best customer service I've ever found from a owner. The RM2 atomizer is a breeze to rebuild. I am mechanically challenged and have no problems with it.

To the other members, someone had to suggest it.
