rebuildable atomizers q&a

[Mrsmac]

Please can those who use rebuilable atomizers help with some questions I have?

What is the benefit of having one?

Are they better or easier than say rebuilding a protank?

Can they be as good on flavour as a dual coil but with a single coil?

I must be the only person who doesn't like the taste of a cotton wool Wick, is theythere an alternative or should I stick to silica?

Where can I get an El cheapo one in the UK?

If you have made it this far TIA x

What is the benefit of having one? You can tailor the wick and coil to exactly your tastes and requirements

Are they better or easier than say rebuilding a protank? The decks are bigger than the fiddly little protank tubes so they are a lot easier

Can they be as good on flavour as a dual coil but with a single coil? Yes

I must be the only person who doesn't like the taste of a cotton wool Wick, is theythere an alternative or should I stick to silica? Cotton wool, cotton lace, silica or even stainless steel mesh are possible

Where can I get an El cheapo one in the UK? Depends what make/model you decide to go for

Benefits. Flavour. Cheaper to run. (All I've bought for my kayfuns is wire and cotton wool)

Ease of build. In my opinion they are much easier.

With a good setup anything is possible.

Give cotton another go. Too much cotton and flavour will suffer massively. Flavour from cotton when done properly is at least 10 times better than silica IMO

best bet is a hcigar kayfun clone in the uk. Around £35 iirc.

Thanks guys. Will look into the recommended ones

What is the benefit of having one? Normally holds more juice,easy to maintain, Lasts longer.

Are they better or easier than say rebuilding a protank? yes they have more room to play with.

Can they be as good on flavour as a dual coil but with a single coil? yes you can even twist your wire making it dual coil at lower ohms if needed.you get a more full flavor i believe.

I must be the only person who doesn't like the taste of a cotton wool Wick, is theythere an alternative or should I stick to silica? Now was it normal supermarket cotton or organic cotton you tried? tried bamboo yarn ? ekowool ? voodoowool ?

M-Vapes do a Kayfun Lite+ for £27, and it vapes just as well as my HCigar 3.1 clone:

They also have a Kayfun 3.1 clone for £2 less atm :

www.m-vapes.co.uk/store/p26/Kayfun_3.1_clone_rebuildable_atomizer.html


Keep in mind that the Kayfun 3.1 is quite tall - over 60mm not including any driptip. The Kayfun Lite+ is 52mm tall.

If you think that would bother you then grab the Nano kit, which will reduce the height by 10mm :

Oh wow so many suggestions I gonna have to go on you tube and see how you build these things, shouldn't be too bad as I have a bag of pre made heads from a uk vendor

[sloppyvape]

If you buy a kayfun dont forget to pop down to mod sales and buy some "vape grips" ...very handy for tightening and undoing

[sloppyvape]

no need to go looking :





i use the top link all the time on mine .

The kayfuns are superb and you do the simplest builds and still get a good vape. You'll probably be surprised at the difference in flavour to juices you've been using for ages.

[Mrsmac]

Thank you everyone who has posted including sloppyvape for the video's, he made that look so simple but I can definitely see the logic especially having pulled apart an old aspire head. So it is looking like the kayfun is the way to go and as a beginner at rebuildables, using the premade coils I brought should make it even easier, I think I am actually looking forward to it and with such a large tank, should last me a good days vaping

Hi Mrsmac use less cotton wool (sounds daft, but less is more) iGol Rebuildable, £10ish new, and for building coils check out a Making Jewelry video on youtube, it gives you the idea of how to turn the wire, and make excellent Micro Coils. There is a learning curve, but if you can Crochet, or Knit, it's that type of knack to wind coils

[sloppyvape]

No problem mrsmac its nice to give you a helping hand into the world of building your own

Hi keepitgoin I used organic cotton in the the maturevape coil and other regular coton wool and I can taste the cotton if that makes any sense, very cottony where I cant taste siloca or maybe because that's all that had been available when I begin that I am so used to it!

Igol rebuildable will Google that Thank you

What with YouTube and Super-Shiny's great tutorials, you will be up and running in no time. Once you've built a couple of good builds, you might want to get a couple of metres of .3 Kanthal and try making your own coils, they are so much easier than they look on videos, and even better in terms of flavour and vapour.
Best of luck!
