uh uh... he just wants to see himself on video! kidding

it is fairly easy, learning the right way to wick is the hardest part. you will actually get better flavour and clouds (if you're into that), by building your own... and less likely to get leaking from your tanks, easier to fix wick related wicking issues. i never thought i would learn myself... now i have a few rda's etc...

Mostly saving money. $15 for a 5 pack of coils vs $16 for 30 feet of wire and a pouch of cotton bacon = about 60 coils.
and then you can get fancy.. like twist 3 strands together on a drill and make a coil for extra flavor, or use slightly thicker wire for extra cloud, and eventually, you will be confident enough to make clapton wire.. although it is much easier to just buy it already claptoned and make your coils from that.

The usual reaction after someone makes their first coil is.. "That's it??? That's all I had to do????"

lmao i found my drill!... still not making my own clapton... but twisting etc... yeppers!
Hubby in the dog house?

Oddly enough.. I first started making the videos... for my younger brother. LOL.. He can fix a car, truck, deuce and a half, a tank, etc.. but can't wrap a wire around a drill bit. LMAO.. had to show him. Since he is like 100km or so away.. vids were easier.

I am looking for an atomizer tank that supports my Kanger top tank mini. Prefer a larger tank. The tank that came with in the starter kit leaks out of the vent holes. So tired of it and wasting juice. Any suggestions?
My wife has the same setup. In addition to what Mongo was saying, check the bottom of the coil. Where the terminal button is pushed into the red insulator, check to see if part of the coil is sticking out from between the two. If it is, carefully pull the terminal off the red insulator without pulling the insulator off the coil. Clip the coil wire back a little and push the terminal back in. there should be nothing sticking out from under that terminal.

I ordered the Artic tank! I liked everything I read about it.

Does it leak as well, though? I hope not, for you.

I use the subtank RBA and am fairly hopeless at wicking anything. My coils are quality (I should charge) but I am as good with cotton as a sheep with a rubik cube.
