samples and RDA advice :-)

[kittyvape]

Hi 

Very basic question, lol ... are you meant to cut the end off the samples, as that just isn't working well? I lost the instructions that came with the tin of samples, and am not sure how to open them, or how to save what remains after drip testing. Just using the little 10w iStick to drip test, and anything more than a few drops is just leaking right through, and don't want to waste everything. 

Thanks 

EDIT: had looked everywhere, but missed this ... Sealed microtubes are child proof. To open them use scissors and cut away lid hinge , oposite to seal. Or you can use knife and cut the seal. Once opened content is to be used at once.

What would be a good RDA, that I can build easily (I can manage the Subtank Mini well, and still practising), and not break the bank? Need to be able to use it single coil. Not being fussy or anything, lol, but if it's black that'd be great too.

I like my Igo-L RDA very easy to coil with a single coil, I just wrap about 7 or 8 of turns around a piece of plaited silica - they even do a black one on fasttech £4.32

Thank you snow   That looks great, and am looking it up further. Get a bit nervous buying clones, especially long distance ... did you get yours from Fasttech? I'm seeing some about twice the price in UK, which I could afford. Also looking at the SMOK XPURE CLASSIC RDA at myepack. Nice to hear the Igo is easy to coil, for sure.

Buy a few from FT kittyvape At the price they are for clones, (which are pretty good imho), you can't go wrong. If you pay twice the price for a UK one, and don't like it, it will put you off for ever. There are plenty of black ones there, most much less than £10. Some of my drippers were less than £6, I don't like them all so much, but I buy lots of clones, and so far I have not had many problems. The occasional missing o ring maybe, but I had that with an authentic Lemo 2. So don't worry about clones. Read the reviews, the better ones are the ones with good reviews

Edit: Oh yeah, pay extra $2.50 for e packet. Thet will arrive in a week if they are "ships next day".

The Vertex v2 is a nice flavour style atty.

Thanks tim  Great advice. I'd forgotten about the other postage options (doh), so will definitely look at a few on Fasttech and the best reviews.

Thanks Get Off My Cloud   They're both really nice. I only know the Kanger tanks, and only rebuild the Mini and Subtank, so know nothing about working with 3 posts/single coil. Do you just use 2 of the posts for a single coil? 

[kittyvape]

Wondering what it means in details when it says 'built to 1 ohm' etc? It's meaning the already made coils it comes with are at that only, not that you have to build to that level always?

Really interested in this one: Infinite CLT V3 Styled RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer

[phatfil]

Some do come pre built, you can fit any viable coil you want. you will probably want to clean any far east clone atty purchase so removing any installed coils might be easier anyway, the taste of mineral oil isnt too good.. trust me

Thanks phatfil   Yes, don't buy oil juice for a reason, lol. Will definitely clean it and put on a new build.

Yes the centre post/posts are the positive and the outside posts are the negative, you want one leg going to the positive and the other to the negative.
here's a video of a single coil build on the Derringer.

something like that is worth considering because you can use it in single and dual coil setup
with the four post holes it makes setting up duel coils a lot easier if or when you want to try them

Thanks decoy   Will definitely take a look at that. A 4-post would be best, as I'd definitely like to move onto dual coiling soon. 

[kittyvape]

Ordered CLT V2 Plus, yay, using epacket shipping. CLT V2 Plus. Watching vids on dual coiling, am certain I can do it, so it's exciting waiting now for it to arrive. Got a tin of samples to test, plus some new capella flavours on the way, for a big mixing session soon. Thanks for all the advice, plus what would be a good mech mod to go along with this? And is it worth it, as surely the battery life would be really short? Happy to plumb for the 60w mpv3 instead, lol, although could easily be tempted by m-vapes Slug or FT's version. Has anyone tried FT's Panzer?
