You're so right Linda, it isn't the coil winding that's hard, it's mounting that tiny coil that's a real pita!
+1 on the GS Airs, nice tank for $10. Also has a TC coil available, economical way to explore TC vaping.

I was more of the "let's see what happens if I put this with that" kind.
That one's on my Christmas wishlist.
Not a doctor, and haven't even played one on TV, but....
Maybe up the nic?
Google up something like "parkinson's and nicotine", here's a sample

During my first year of vaping I used mini PTs and Davides with the silica PT/Evod coils; never had one leak, spit, gurgle, or dry hit that wasn't due to operator error.

Same here, Robert, although I have abandoned the Evods, just too small a capacity for me.
Like most toppers, once one learns the peculiarities, the T3S (and similar) are pretty much trouble free. And, if you don't care to rebuild, pretty close to fill and go, with the periodic head replacement.
I just wish Kanger had made an airflow control base for them. Easier than drilling them out

Have a pair of Nautys (Nauti?). Flavor-wise I like them better than my Aerotanks, but I do get the gurgle since I prefer my vapor on the cool side. Out of curiosity I picked up a GS Air M, which I'm still getting use to. A little, well, air-y, and I'm not one for a tight draw, but not bad. Does anyone else notice the coils wobble a bit in the base? Or is that just me?
The evods and t3s are eGo threaded, right?Same here, Robert, although I have abandoned the Evods, just too small a capacity for me.

Isn't there an airflow control for the pt mini? I believe that's eGo, too. Wouldn't that work?
Yes, they are ego threaded, so if your power source is 510 only you need an adapter.
The PT mini base (both stock and air flow) sit the coil too low for use in the T3S...
I just can't vape something I can't taste; there just doesn't seem any point to it. I guess I'm really a "flavor chaser," just a tootle puffer because I can't handle a large amount of vapor. I didn't have any problem with the airflow of T3S's, I *like* a really tight draw... which is why I liked cartos/cartotanks for so long, and now love my Achilles RDAs... but there *has to be* flavor, or it's just pointless. That's the main reason I went entirely to rebuildables, those which provide really strong flavor but tight airflow.

Even the Authentic Kayfuns have trapping issues with wire.
I take a small triangle file and cut a notch on the deck for the wire to lay in, makes trapping much easier, pull snug around the screw and tighten.
Those were my reasons as well to get rid of the Nauti... Bad coils out of the box was an annoyance too!

Now that is a great idea! I'm going to check my Erls and see if that would work. Those are my favorites, but the ones I have the most problem with.
Tobeco, Kayfun Lite Plus. I like the Tobecos better than the EHpros for a very good reason: inside the top of the chimney, Tobecos are cone shaped; EHpros are flat; that cone shape is what provides such excellent flavor. EHpros work just as well as Tobecos, but do not offer the same clear and intense flavor.

ETA: the "Plus" version has adjustable airflow; the non-"Plus" version does not, and has such limited airflow that the wick burns very easily.
As DingerCPA pointed out, a Aerotank AFC Base will work on the T3's, Though if your using a small ego diameter battery it may look funny. I used to use them on Smok Trophy V2's as-well..
Not to talk about me too much, but when I quit smoking, I didn't notice any decrease in symptoms. But this is a disease that varies widely from person to person. Yes, I'm familiar with the research, but since I've already quit nicotine (I have always vaped zero nic) I see no reason to put that particular monkey on my back again.
I also have epilepsy. That's what caused the PD. I've been using a different organic for that for quite a few years. It gives me instant relief (as much as can be had, anyway), and may slow the progression. I just this year started having level 2 symptoms over 12 years after I was diagnosed. In 1993, I bought a vaporizer for that purpose, but it really didn't work very well. But around the turn of the century they started getting better, and I've been vaping that substance ever since, and vape it now (guess what--the improvements in vaping allowed me to quit smoking that).
TGD, I'm very sorry for your illnesses. I'm sure glad you've found something that helps tho!
As far as I can see, there are many in my little corner of the Universe that also feel vaping is just too much trouble. Just filling a tank can cause them to not want to vape. I've seen this over and over and over. I can't even imagine any of those peeps wanting to do any sort of DIY or RB'ing.
Since I still remain captain of the Lazy Vapers, I would like to add another tank to the blister packers list. The Cerotank, which I've only seen on eBay, is abstolutely wonderful. It takes EITHER Kanger or Aspire heads. I like choices.
In some ways, it's a cut above the Naughties, and I LIKE the Naughties, a lot. In fact after a couple years with them, I can say I've had VERY few probs, or bad coils.
PLUS ONE HUGELY on the Kabuki tank. No, it's not a budget item, nor was it ever intended to be. It's a quality piece and every bit of using it shows that.
GS Airs are well worth the price of admission. For a low cost tank, and good coils (very similar to the Aspire BVCs), they can't be beat.
Yes, they take Aspire Nautilus coils.
That tank at FT... how does it differ from a Naughty?
I just look for the best price; a Tobeco KFL+ is the same, anywhere you get it. I think they're currently in the $10-$15 neighborhood. I paid $32.95 each for my first two, early last year, but only about $15 for the last one I bought, very early this year.
