That does seem to be the case. I haven't had a coil "pop" or suffer the "slow sizzle" death since going fully to rebuildables. Just recoil when nasty tasting and shrug off blunderbuss hits

I was just reading a post in rebuildable atomizer section and people are saying silica wick material produces micro needle-like particles that come apart from the wick and can go into either lungs or stomach. This scares me a little about vaping altogether, but I haven't done enough reading yet. What do you think about this Waho if you've been reading the threads there?
right now I'm reading about wicks made out of cotton ball... hmm.. maybe I should try that?

I like to browse threads, even though I'm not able to post ... I still see people wishing they could find a bottom feeder RBA, I just don't think the word is getting out there that they are available.

My understanding after a pretty good read (not super thorough) of that wick material thread was that the fibers were large enough to be coughed/sneezed out unlike fiberglass or asbestos fibers.
Cotton/bamboo seem like good options. The only thing with them is that if you get a dry hit, you need to recoil as you'll burn it easily. The general consensus is that they're more healthy, but require more recoiling. You can find them at craft/sewing stores easily, like 3 us dollars for 100 yards of #10 crochet thread. Preferably "undyed" or "natural" color, dye probably isn't good to inhale.
Standard "I've never used cotton/bamboo wick" warning applies. Either way you shake it, I figure its still better than smoking.
All this talk about coils got me thinking .. next time I have to build one, I am gonna build two coils and try a dual coil setup and see what happens.
p.s., besides the A7 I'm selling on the website, is there another option for a bottom feed RBA? As much as I love it, I would like to try others like it too.

Yeah. That thread is over 350 pages, and currently I'm on page 7. 
English is my second language and I'm a very slow reader too. It freaked me out when EvilGrym posted the microscope picture, but what you said relieves me. I'll continue to read.
What do you think of SS mesh wicks? Pros and Cons? I'm very new to all this DIY wick/coil world.
That's an interesting idea. Let us know how it turns out!

There is the easy rebuildable atomizer (ERA) bottom feed version. Runs around 60 bucks and is only available via group buy currently. Got them on my dread and cutlass ii.
Also the mark bugs chalice. But that's 160 bucks
There's some more coming out over seas. Hard to get info on them what with the websites not being in English

Yes, Waho gave a good summary there, ERA, Chalice and A7 are the ones that are usually popular. A new one just came out in Italy and seems pretty interesting as well, the Cerbero
This one has an air control ring as an option, which could be quite interesting. People dontt seem too happy about it as it is now though... because the ACS, which is the ring that control the air inside the atomiser, doesn't work as it should...
Personaly I have 4 ERAs now, and absolutely love them. I might try the A7 asap

Just found out that the atty section of Vivi Nova tank is easily rebuildable.
Watch from 14:50
excited to try this out!

Ah yes, that was one I was thinking of but couldn't remember the name. There was one more but I'm terrible trying to remember what everything was called.
I do like my 3 ERA's more after drilling out the air holes to 1/16" (~1.6mm) up from stock, but the "cup like" nature of the A7 makes for a heck of a lot of draws between squonks. Plus the quality is unusually good for a chinese product. I actually like it a touch more than the ERA's. Definitely give the A7 a shot. Can't beat the price even if you don't like it
As far as mesh wicks, when you get them set up properly (wick oxidized right and no shorts on your coil) the flavor can't be beat. First attempts at it (mine included) are usually frustrating and will test your patience. I about tossed my DiD across the room. Several times. Almost did the same with the iHybrid when I got it. I'm still a relative newcomer with mesh wicks, but even seasoned pro's have "off-days" where nothing seems to work with them. The great flavor makes the immense fiddle factor worth it though. Not an endeavor for the feint of heart but there are tons of folks on here with great info if you decide to go that route
Edit:
Just remembered that Rob from Reosmods is modding some chinese rebuildable attys for bottomfeeding. They go on sale the 16th of this week.

Yes, absolutely Waho
The last one I can think of is the ebaron, which I heard works like the ERA
And of course...the Penelope from Golden Greek whick can be used for BF with very small modifications

Penelope is for me the best atty in BF, but you must add a 510 extension with it... 
I've received the eBaron last week, and still I use it, I can say that he is better than the ERA...
The flavor is better restored, but you need to make your coil as if it was a GG atty...
There is a ceramic too in the eBaron, so you must use connecting wire with resistive wire to make
the coil
And there is no problems with the drip cup and the eBaron... unlike the ERA...

Ahoy and good morning all.
Well, seems there are other choices out there, but kinda sounds like the A7 is the cheapest option and needs the least messing around with to work as it's ready to vape as a BF ERA right out of the box.
Some people don't like the height of it, but I realized a week ago that I have never had juice get into my mouth no matter how much I squonked so maybe the height is a good thing.
Well, I have a really busy day today, lots to do ... off I go!
Have a happy hump day all, arrrr

Good morning crew!
Two of my ERA's work great, but the one floods the catch cup before any juice gets up into the atty on my RSM's or reo's. I just have to put my finger over the air hole and dry hit it to pull the juice up. Not to much extra hassle for the great performance of them and rebuildables in general.
Have a good one!

Just made a 6 wrap coil of 28ga kanthal for my A7. Comes out to 1 ohm. Dang that's a good hit at 3.7 volts.
Hmmm, nearly 14W, I guess it's pretty strong
I don't like to go over 3 amps on the switch though, I always try to stay under that number. I don't even know if the switch can handle it or not, but that comes from my first PVs which were not that reliables...
