Low Pro rda via FT a bad buy imho

Received this in the nice vapemail delivery today, after reading that some had experienced problems fitting a coil in the beast i started to play with it straight away and fitted one of the supplied coils contained in the spares bag.

I also found and fitted the BF +ve pin in the spares bag.

The first coil fitted in ok once i had trimmed the coil leg down to fit against the +ve pin end stop. 

But when the cap is fitted the plastic base of the screw in drip tip is mm's away from the coil, way too close for comfort, i dont fancy vaping hot plastic fumes along with my juice..  

  
pics will follow..  

a bit of a disappointment..  i will be hunting thru my atty collection for a same sized base i can swap the top with as its an interesting coil configuration which is quite easy to build on, and with Bf pin fitted the juice in/out path is only 1mm or so above the juice well base so could be a good squonking candidate..

No where near it on mine.

thanks for the pics sydsut, i didnt bend the coil legs parallel with the coil bore like you did, but egged on by the example did manage to push mine down into the juice well and strum to achieve a good even glow, now all i need to do is wick it with if submerged in the juice well oh and fit a 2nd coil, position, and wick..

still seems a lil close for comfort, so no signs of heat damage on your drip tip bottom plate then ??

None at all but I left the length between the coil and the screws slightly longer than normal so I can raise the coils up for re-wicking and then push down into the well even with the air slots. Wouldn't recommend large coils though as then you would get it touching the spitguard or shorting on the well base.
