There is so much information out there that it is mind blowing! I'm looking to try rebuildable attys and want a few opinions of where to start. Thanks everyone.

This one is just out. I havent tried one yet, but it looks like it might be a nice unit to learn on.

I like the Phoenix type rba. Was my first, i found it very easy to rebuild and like how it preforms. Plus they can be found pretty cheap. So if you dont like them you really aren't out alot of money.
I use tanks with my Lavatube, so I'm looking for a dripping atty. I use an atty to test my DIY juices, and I very tired of dealing with inconsistent attys, but I don't want one as expensive as the HH 357.

Cotton, silica, SS, hybrids
Change flavors the same as any other atomizer
Just vape through the old flavor
With cotton you have to be extra careful not to dry vape it
It will burn or scorch and taste very nasty
Burned or Scorched Cotton = Replace

I was assuming that the cotton wick would hold the flavor a long time.
In fact, I have been concerned that washing the wick might even be necessary.
I use standard 510 atomizers and I can vape through most flavors in about 6 drags.
Obviously some flavors take a bit longer.
For the average flavor that doesn't try so hard to stick around, how many drags would it usually take?
And by average flavor I don't mean menthol, clove, or pizza.
Depends on how elaborate the wick is
The more wick material, the more juice is in it, the longer it will take to vape through the old flavor

I'd get the Phoenix or a Phoenix clone to start. If in stock , I'd also pick up the DiD clone . See if you like these . You may find the knock-offs are adequate and stop searching or you may find you love them and want to spend the money for the higher end rebuildables .
There isn't a less expensive way to try rebuildables. I bought the Phoenix clone from discountvapors as my first rba and in using it I have found that coils aren't hard to build.
ETA: I find the Phoenix clone a tremendous value at $9 plus shipping. I'm happy with its performance.

Well, I kinda thought that since it makes sense.
But I'm looking for real numbers, and real user experience.
So if you have a wick that touches bottom, and no more, how many drags to get through a juice?
Will it wick well that way, or is there a benefit to longer wicks than just touching bottom?
If so, how long would a good wick be and why?
And how long would those take to get to a new flavor?
Switching flavors as we speak. I usually wait until the first hint of dryness to switch. However, this time I didnt. I'm at about 5 drags so far and still tasting the old flavor. My guess would be probably about 5 more.
I have a Pheonix and use 3mm silica wick in it. Changing flavors is easy. I usually rinse wick with water, pat dry with paper towel and then dry burn. It's better than a new coil because it's already broke in. A really strong menthol will linger for a couple of hits but most are completely gone from the start. I use about 1" of wick in a "U" shape with the legs pointing up. It seems to work better this way for me. Seems to put more of the aroma of the juice in with the vapor making it even better. Usually 5-6 drops at a time and never any leaking even when left laying on its side. I find myself using it more than my drip mode Ody. I've even got a few more heading this way it he mail. Gonna have a few dedicated to certain flavors.
Well, please keep us posted.
Sorry. It actually changed at about 5 total. I didn't realize how similar the two flavors were

If you want to setup your atomizer for switching flavors
The wick shouldn't have any resemblance to a tied shoelace

If you're going with the Phoenix, which is my recommendation as well, here's a great link demonstrating how to build a vertical coil using cheesecloth.

I'm giving it a shot this afternoon with 1/0 cotton wicking, as I don't yet have cheesecloth.
