For a rebuildable dripping atty, I use the IGO-L, but it doesn't have heads. Generally speaking, by virtue of being rebuildable they don't have heads. You could try the
Mini RDA, and
buy pre-made wick/coil assemblies for them. It would be relatively inexpensive for a start, and easy to rebuild once you learn how.
I personally test juices using 4
traditional atomizers. Some flavors are difficult to get out of attys, so I have one each for fruits/sweets, sours, mints/menthols, and coffee. I think it's the cheapest way to go myself.
I learned almost everything I know from reading the original
thread on ECF regarding this topic:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modding-forum/132663-all-my-mods-part1.html. This thread documents the beginning of the Genisis Atomizers. It took me about 2 weeks to get through all of it, but it was highly beneficial to read all of the good and bad developments. That thread mostly involves stainless steel mesh wicks and Kanthal resistance wire
coils. There are two great threads for ceramic wicks:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modding-forum/362182-next-big-thing-porous-ceramic-wicks.html and
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...stems/379380-fc-2000-porous-ceramic-wick.html. There are more threads involving coil wrapping techniques and more wick materials, but these will get you started. You will find other topics that will interest you as you read these threads, so you can find more threads as you learn.
The most popular stainless steel wick is made from #500 ss mesh. The ceramic wicks widely available for purchase are the
FC-2000 wicks, but they are frequently out of stock at most vendors. Eric has the best price, so I waited until he had them in stock and ordered then. I would recommend doing this, even if you don't think you are ready to coil them...that way, you will have them when you are ready. Kanthal is by far the most popular coil wire, I think most people have abandoned Nichrome. The most popular sizes people use are between 28 and 32 gauge. I would recommend starting with a little of 32 and 30 gauge to see what you prefer.
You can test coils on your Vamo. Most importantly
do not hit the fire button until you know the coil has acceptable resistance, at least 1.2 ohms. Once you wrap and install your coil on the device, push the small button on the right and hold it. The Vamo will tell you the resistance of your coil. If it reads 9.9 ohms or Lo, you have a problem and must try again.
