Mvp 2 looking to move rebuildables

[stephgrah]

Just wondering if someone could give me some advice on how to move onto rebuildable atomizers and what would be good on a mvp 2 thanks

Kayfun, or clones of it are a great step into the rebuildable world, top atty of 2013.

I agree that the kayfun is a great vape - the best for me that I've found - but it is pricey unless you get a clone and they all seem to have their problems.

Aga-T types are a lot cheaper and also a good vape, but you have to keep them more or less the right way up or the juice falls out.

Personally I think the Penny/Oddy/Nautilus are more trouble than they are worth because you have to do the res/no res connections.

If you want a cheap way in, start with a dripper like the Igo-L. They are easy to build and you'll see what all the fuss is about, and be able to decide whether a kayfun (or whatever) is worth the money.

The MVP2 should work fine with anything you get. It is maybe a little underpowered for some vapers, but there's not much you can do about that even if you care. Which you probably won't - I'd think 11 watts is enough for most. I seldom go above 10.

Kayfun is a great vape, also look at the GP Spheroid - very fuss free and totally leakproof!

IGO-L dripper until you get a bit of experience of building your own coils and then a clone of any RTA that you decide to try (no sense in spending £100 plus on something you might not get on with). I would recommend the Taifun GT as a straightforward RTA .... very easy to set up and fill with a good juice capacity ... available for about £12 from our Chinese friends.

Easy build has to be the Taifun or the Squape, (both available as clones)

I've recently started rebuilding and have a kayfun, a MAGA which is a mini did clone and an IGO dripper. They are all different to work with and offer a different vaping experience.

I found the maga needs a lot of fiddling. Being a genesis type you need to make a mesh with stainless steel and oxidise, then get your coil heating evenly with no hotspots. That took me hours the first time I tried. Making the wick and putting a coil on it was simple and fast but it seemed no matter what I did it had a hotspot at the top which gives an incredibly burnt tasting vape. It turned out that I hadn't fully oxidised the mesh so burning it again and recoiling fixed it. It took a day or so for it all to work really well but when it is working well it's great. Loads of vapour and flavour. A really good atomiser and well worth the hassle I had with it.

The IGO is the most basic one I have. I have it set up with a dual coil and cotton wick. Really easy to do. Just make your coils and attach and then wick with cotton wool. No fuss, no hassle. Attaching the coils is slightly fiddly but nothing complicated. Just a bit like threading a needle. Add a few drops of your favourite juice and it produces really thick tasty clouds of vapour.

The kayfun is the easiest of all. Just take it apart, wind some wire around a silica wick and attach. Put it together, fill with juice and vape. It works really well and looks really good.

There are different wicking materials you can use and different coiling setups you can try for all of them but it's all much easier than some people make it sound. All 3 types that I have work really well and I would recommend them to anyone getting into rebuildables. It really just depends what you want. If you don't mind dripping juice a few drops at a time an IGO is a great buy, cheap and reliable. Or if you want to use a tank either the kayfun or MAGA are also great.

got my eye on a kayfun clone, just to mess about with to learn myself how to rebuild seen some reviews and looks too easy to do, was just wondering if anyone could reccomend a site to bye kanthal wire and other things needed, also what resistance wire just starting off so dont want anything sub omy say 1 to 2.5 ohms thanks

[erik514]

I use awg32 kanthal and find its really good for the way i do it. Mine is from cloud9 vaping. I coil my kayfun about 1.3 to 1.5 ohm and find it works great. There are a lot of ways to do it with different wicking materials so i would just watch a few videos and ask if your stuck
