pre coiled and wicked coils?

[Michael.D]

Hi guys and girls.
Iv recently started using a rda and im having great trouble building the coils, and when i do manage to coil one that doesn't look like its been built by a blind man, I can't thread the wick though.
So my question is, where is the best place to but top quality pre coiled and wicked (preferably with cotton) coils?
Thanks again guys.

If you have a B&M most will help you with wicking and coiling RDA's and some even offer it as a service! I would say check with them and they could even help you to build your own offering steps along the way. Most places that people show up and are confused about building coils i'll build coils into an atomizer i have on the spot and help them with theirs even though i don't work at the B&M myself.

B&M? As in B&M bargains?

Brick and Mortar aka physical store.

Also you can buy kits that help a lot. It has everything you need. My mind won't let me remember the name but something like Curo Coilers. They're like 20$ in a shop usually. Cheaper online

Ah, no my local shop dont do that, in fact, when i spoke to them about it they seemed against dripping, and tried to sell me one of there tanks.

Do as jason said to start, i would reccomend buying a large spool of wire to play around with. Also look up some videos online on youtube, it helped me a TON when i was first starting (very few B&M's had people with drippers) and i ended up converting many into drippers vs tanks.

I totally suck at building coils too. I build about 5, just to get 1 that works decent. I just keep practicing. I'll get better. I do know there are on line sites that sell pre-built. I haven't bought any yet.... Too prideful I guess. Getting the cotton wick thru has never been an issue for me. And to tell the truth, I don't care if my coils look like junk as long as they fire safely. Nobody else is going to see them.

I've been in one or two shops like that. If the owners don't know how to build they should hire someone that does. My favorite shop builds anytime you buy a RDA from them. Rebuild is 10$ I think and 15 or 20 for "extreme builds" like Claptons and the more complicated coils

But you will find building coils gets easier and easier with practice. Don't feel bad we all went through It. I still get aggravated with wicking especially in RTAs .

 

[Boolieman]

Kayfuns, the bane of us all! Yeah stick with traditional drippers till you get the basics, honestly it DOES get better as they said and i never thought about the fact that 'nobody will ever see it' but it is true! Unless you have a glass top cap....

If i manage to get a coil that works i struggle to get enough wick through the coil to burnsufficiently

Ude makes some decent premade coils, in different ohms and gages of kanthal. I picked up a handful of different ones on Ebay a few months back.

Just make sure that its not too loose and not too tight. When I rewick, my cotton is about twice the width of the inner diameter of my coil.

who, or what is Ude?

I oorder prebuilt coils from vapor dna it makes my life easier. The price is reasonable and I've never had any problems with them

A shop that can't/won't build coils is very suspect to me. That and pushing tanks rather than showing people all the options to vaping. I would check any authentication codes on anything you buy from there.

On South St. here in Philadelphia, is a landmark type street like Haight street in San Fransisco has 12 vape shops. 3 of them are on the up and up. The other 9 are more into selling glassware for other activities and 90% of their products are not authentic.

Just an observation and my opinion.
