Very first rebuildable?

[dannyw14]

Just wondering what the easiest and cheapest way of having a go at a rebuildable is?

would this be ok to start on/ practice with? www.fasttech.com/products/0/10003924/1281801-cobra-electronic-cigarette-round-mouth-atomizer

and would their mini butane torches work for oxidising the mesh?

First question Danny - are you sure you want a mesh wick, or would a silica-wicked rebuildable suit?

[dannyw14]

silica would be easier, but depends what is available. am i right in thinking all of them take mesh but some of those take silica?

[OneDay]

No. Many rebuildables are silica only. One that is hugely popular at the moment is the Dream for example

[whistler]

Plenty of options out there, here is what I would recommend though. If you want a ss mesh rebuildable go for the rsst, cheap and a fiddle to set up. If you want silica, I will give you two different ones here, igo. S or l either one is good. Just a dripper but really helps work on rebuilding practice, if you want a tank setup something like the dream from Charlie's/or the vivi r from ecig wizard.

would it not be worth getting something cheaper incase i don't get on with it. also, what are the actual advantages of a rebuildable?

Steam......

Just built a 1ohm coil with a mesh wick on a RSST....



I've tried silica on a AGA T2

But this is the best vape I've ever had.


My opinion is, yes there is a learning curve to get them up and running but it's worth it.

Oh and I used a fasttech torch to oxidise and it worked a treat

Let's put it this way danny - once you have got a re-buildable working properly, you won't want to use anything else much of the time!
I'd start with silica - the Igo-L is as cheap as anything and good. Once you have got the hang of re-coiling that, try mesh - you can use that in the Igo as well at a pinch. If you find you like it there is a whole world of RBA's to try

[markm]

I just wave it over the gas hob, watch your fingers though.
The RSST is probably the easiest out there to work on, the mesh hole being insulated makes it considerably easier
As its not live. The only thing to worry about is your coils and if they are half neat then just nudging them up and down
Normally does the trick.

i do like the look of the rsst, the dream looks a bit of a faff to get going. gonna check out the igo now

Not too much of a faff. Just a bit fiddly lol. Failing that you can always get a nova/protank/evod and rebuild the heads.

[dannyw14]

that's what i've been doing (and just today realised the heads are interchangeable). can you put a tank on the igo-l or is it purely for dripping?

[markm]

Watch this guy, he makes it all relatively simple.

The igo is a dripper only. The dream, once you can see how to easily set it up is an absolute piece of the proverbial piss.
