Not sure about the screw together, but the Achilies?

Yes like the Achilles or the Chels MiniDrip, however the MiniDrip is not in stock AChilles clone not on stock and the genuine Achilles is very much not frugal about 230 CDN.. hmmm nope

A Magma should fit that profile.
I have a Magma it is a little bed wetter. :) Other than that I like it.
I think what happens is vapor condenses on the top cap run down across the deck and out the air intake. I may dremel it into submission.

@Boden made a dripper out of a Kayfun for fun!

Hmmm. Now that's an idea. I got a few bell caps from FT before I realized that the regular chimneys won't fit in them. They could be used that way. Just take out the chimney and chamber, then screw on the bell cap and drip.

I just tried it and IT WORKS! And it's a lot less messy than my Magma. I can just pull off the drip tip, stick in my needle top bottle, and drip right on the coil. No need to take the cap off at all.

@Boden, you're brilliant! :D

Mine was a tad more complex than that. I modified the KFL topcap so it fits over the coil and has top airflow.

@gt_1955, @MikeyConti, @Eric Auer - Thank you gents! That's kind of what I was hoping to hear. I run kanthal about 0.7-1.8ish, so a 0.6 SS coil wouldn't be hideous, and if I can get about 1.3-1.4, that would nice on the high end.....

Y'all got me thinkin' now....... Although, I do use kanthal in my PT2 heads - that's just EASY for me.... I guess I'm looking more for my other tanks/RDAs.....

Appreciate the insight :)

Yeah, but mine only took 30 seconds to build! :D

In all seriousness, though, it's really amazing what you can do with a little bit of ingenuity. I was ready to throw my Kayfuns in a drawer because they hate me. But I'm getting a nice vape with this one in dripper mode. :thumbs:

According to Steam Engine, though, you would need 13/14 wraps to get a 1.3 ohm coil. That's a lot of wraps for quite a few rta/rdas. I've thought about trying ss wire, but wish it came in smaller gauges. It would be easier to get my target resistances.
