Please Please Please Please

Firstly, I apologize for starting this type of thread where most members roll their eyes at yet ANOTHER stupid "What is a good rta thingamajigger for me" thread?

Yes, I did a search and search and search and now my brain is on fire. So please bear with me.

Now, I am interested in a sub-ohm rebuildable atomizer with two posts for dual coil setup with an e-liquid capacity of AT LEAST 4ml. I do not want a dripper. I want it to be high flow because there is nothing worse than a dry hit.

I do not care whether it's a rba or a RTA.

I am looking to get the best bang-for-the-buck type deal. Clones are acceptable. I would like to spend less than $40 bucks but if there is a great deal and it'll cost $50 or whatever I'm down.

I LOVE the cool look of the Fire Bird RTA but unfortunately it's only a single coil setup. :(

I have two Cthulhu V2's but sometimes I have a hard time disassembling it and I just mangled the piss out of one of them using two pliers in a fit of frustration.

So, you want a rebuildable atomizer but you don't want a dripper?
Well, an RBA is a dripper.
An RTA is probably what you are looking for but the question begs...If you want the convenience of a tank but want to go sub ohm, why not get a sub ohm tank?
There are lots of great sub ohm tanks out there...Sense Herakles, UWell Crown, Sense Cyclone, Kanger SubTank, etc...
In any case, best of luck to you and Vape On!

Oh, i'm sorry. I thought that a dripper was a rebuildable but with a very, very low E-Liquid capacity. I don't want to be filling up every 5 minutes....

I don't want an atomizer that uses a pre-built, screw-in coil. I like to make my own coils.

I hope that helps.

And thank you for the reply.

What kind of mod will you be using it on? You like building your own coils, and you don't want to have to constantly drip, and you want to use dual coils.....hmmmm.... Seems to me you can get a dual coil RSST dirt cheap that fits that bill, but it's a genny, and real old school. You can also dual coil a Kraken, another genny, and get the same thing. Maybe what you are looking for.... is a genny.

Just sayin...

Thank you for the reply, Vaslovik.

It's a Sigelei Fuchai-200W but I NEVER go above 60 watts.

I'll look up the atomizers that you mentioned. The only thing is that it's got to wick up the E-Liquid quickly because I tend to hit it hard three or four times in a row and then won't vape again for another couple of hours. I really, really, really hate dry hits. So far the Cthulhu V2 works really great with the exception that sometimes it hard for me to disassemble the parts.

Okay, well how a genny wicks depends on what you wick it with. I use 400 mesh in my gennies, but you can go with 325 or even 200 for increased wicking if you like. I've never once gotten a dry hit off my gennies. Wicking will also depend on what percentage of VG you have in your juice, and the heavier VG juices would wick better with 325 or 200 mesh.

What I've not yet mentioned is that building a genny right is a bit of an art, and not everyone can do it, especially with dual coils. There's a learning curve to it, but you seem inclined toward rebuilding, so maybe it's the thing for you.

For my part I tried the dual coil thing, and backed away from it. It was too much hassle to build, took too long to ramp up the coils, and drained batteries a lot faster. I get all the vapor I want from a single coil genny at .7 ohm, but that's just me, and I use my gennies on tube mechs only, which is not what you are using. IDK, you might like gennies and get what you want from them, or not. Just throwing it out there.

Maybe I should rephrase my original post.

I want a dual coil rebuildable atomizer with an E-Liquid capacity of at least 4ml's. And One that can handle high wattage so that there are no dry hits. And I want it cheap. haha. $50 bucks or less. Clones are acceptable.

Hmmm... 4 ml capacity? That's a big tank. I don't know of a genny with that big a tank that also meets your other specs. My DID's hold 3.5 ml, but cannot be dual coiled. I guess if you are going to use dual coils it's going to use a lot of juice and you need that capacity. I think you might be looking for a while to find something that meets your specifications. Maybe theres an RTA that would do it, I don't know, all I use are gennies so I can't speak to that.

You know, I agree with you on the cons of dual coil. The only real reason I decided to go with dual coil is so that I assumed that with dual coil you get twice the wick and so twice the E-Liquid and so it would dry hit less.

I use 70%VG/30%PG.

I use organic Japanese cotton but for the life of me I can't find the exact item online ATM

Ah, so you are a dedicated cotton user eh? Well, forget about the gennies then, they use mesh, and making wicks with that takes practice and ability. Some can never do it right, like GrimmGreen. You might want to look into the RTA's. If all you are after is to avoid dry hits I'm pretty sure you can do that without dual coils and large juice capacity. If you are rebuilding it's really more a matter of how you do your build.

Well, I only purchased this organic cotton because someone a lot smarter than I am recommended it.

So I am willing to switch to mesh or anything else that you choose to suggest because you sound like you know infinitely more about all this stuff than I do.

Should I switch to mesh? I have to problem practicing and practicing and practicing and probably wasting a lot of it to perfect it.

And this is the sort of cotton that I have.

It's not a typical cotton ball shape. I don't know if that matters.

Well ya know, mesh or cotton it really does depend on how you do your build. Getting that down is the main thing. What you choose to use for an atty or what you wick it with is a matter of personal preference and finding what works best for you. I have my preferences, but they might not be right for you. If you are getting dry hits, and yeah I know that sucks, I'd research the build I'm using and find out how to do it better, rather than launching into a whole new vaping platform right away. Invest some time and patience and you might surprise yourself :)

Yeah, okay, the pre-made coil thing. I've never done that myself (and never would), but to each his own. I think you might discover that making your own coils is a rewarding thing and a lot cheaper too. You did say you like to make your own coils, so I'd encourage you to press forward with that. When you make it yourself you know what you have, and you have gained a skill that will serve you well.

In your posts I sense a bit of impatience, and that can only serve to frustrate you as you pursue your vaping solution. You are trying to find something satisfying and reliable. This will require patience and effort over time. Try setting aside a block of time for it, during which you have nothing else pressing you, get relaxed, and slowly, deliberately, and patiently research the build, rebuild as many times as it takes, and experiment with it. Kanthal is cheap. Cotton is cheap. Take your time about it, and if you get frustrated set it aside and watch an episode of The Blacklist or something, then go back to it.

LOL. You are 100% correct concerning my patience. But I have been diligently working on that. I do hope that you realize that it was certainly not my intention to make you feel that I was being impatient with YOU. :) Quite the opposite. I was happy that you continued on with helpful replies. It is me that I get impatient with.

Anyways, I do have a magic stick. No, not that kind. This kind:

And I do have a bunch of unused Kanthal that has been collecting dust. I think that I'll give it another chance. And with patience.

If I'm successful I will post a picture of some home made coils. :)
