I have found that my Calix V2 (which has a P3 threaded version available) can be closed down completely where you can't get any air at all, and I found the same thing with my Erlkonigin. The Mark Bugs Gem can also be closed down nearly all the way.With all the Deeming Bullfrak going on I've decided better safe than sorry and am going to make a real effort at learning to rebuild. I was wondering who you guys like for online vendors as far as the basic supplys. I'm also looking for an rta that can have a really tight draw. For comparison, the KFL+ I have with the airflow screw bottomed out is still too airy for me. Any recommendations with that air flow aspect in mind? Oh, one last thing, coil jigs. Best? Worst? Reason I'm asking here rather than threads elsewhere on ECF is I trust and value your collective opinions more than anyone elses...period. Thanks in advance!
Among those three, I find the Gem the easiest to build on, but I prefer the Erlkonigin for it's light weight and flavor - it's the atty I turn to most often in my collection.
As far as coil jigs go, I find them pretty useless. Honestly, after a couple of times you'll find that using a drill bit or small precision screwdriver is actually easier to manipulate. But if you want one to start out on, the coil master kit with 5 different sizes is readily found on the Bay pretty cheaply.
I think you'll be surprised at how easy rebuilding an atomizer is after only one or two tries, Jim. Once you get a good coil built, it will last for months and will only need a dry burn every couple of tanks to clean it up, and changing out the cotton for a new wick takes about 30 seconds - bam, new coil. A nice bonus is the fact that every juice tastes much better than in your typical Nautilus.
