IMO... The closer the better. Touching coils can be temperamental though. They will meter out perfectly but as soon as you put amperage through them they can short across each other... At least until they get a layer of oxidization on them.

Is there a good vid of you or someone making one of those?

No video but I did create a "how to" thread... http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=402298

The only difference between what did in the tutorial and my latest version, I stole pdib's flattened screw neg post idea and modified it a bit.

I have one that needs a new coil so I'll take a couple more pics when I do it.

Cool, thanks for the info. Sounds like a fun project.

Yea... As a project, it's not too bad at all, especially if you're handy with a Dremel and a soldering iron. If you decide to give it a go, be sure to post pics. As far as I know, pdib is the only other person to make it. He actually did a really cool version squankable version for his REO.

I can feel it... yep the last lot of batch one are slowly being prepped now. Should receive shipping notice today. This is going to happen. Just putting it out there.

It's a Holiday Weekend over on this side of the water, so I really doubt much is getting done production-wise. Probably out enjoying Fireworks and cookouts.

I actually don't go through as much juice now that I have gotten rid of all my dual coil drippers lol I like my single coil RDA'S . I am really loving my phoenix RDA'S wrapped to 0.8 to 1.1. Yeah I waited about 6 months and did a butload of research before wrapping my 1st Genny. Gotta cover your .... because electricity is not your friend lol ;)
ah there it is... agreed, but you use way more juice!.... being facetious because even though, you get much better flavor with these RDA's too.
I was on HH357, Aero and "shi fu spec" Vapage attys for a year before I went back to Gen's and now RDAs... no comparison.

Dangers of very low resistance vaping aside... (disclaimer) it's a quantum leap but takes some learning for sure which I know you know all about Covert...

They go through batteries like crazy thats for sure. For me trying to justify 30 ml a week was the killer, and the whole pissing contest of who can blow the biggest clouds made me turn away from em too, never did like pissing contests lol

I managed to drop my ELA on the concrete and ding it up not 4 days after having received it. It landed directly on the drip tip, and actually jammed the drip tip down into my Spheroid. It cracked in half and I had to pull the rest out with pliers. Conclusion: The ELA is heavy.

What's the best method of buffing out scratches?

So sorry to hear! Been there! Good luck with the buffing. Thank goodness it's stainless. Fairly sure, you will be able to get it as good as new! Good luck!
