Looks like you have to buy the atomiser for 50, then choose at least 1 wick holder, 1 cartridge holder... so minimum price is between 66 and 74, depending on options... still looks good value to me.

A brand new imist replacement coil costs £7.00..
I think that kind of money for what looks like a modified ego-c is a bit OTT.

It's not just Ego-c, you can set it up to be essentially an ego-t, as well as a couple of others. If there is a true repairable out there (which I don't think the Imist is) cheaper than that, and available now, I'd love to know, I really want a repairable atty, but can't afford one.

Only difference on the atty part of the ego-c vs ego-t is that the coil and cartridge penetration s removable on the ego-c..In the ego-t coil it is built into the cone..
The ego-c is newer and a direct competitor to the imist..A complete coil replacement for the imist costs £7.00 and a complete atty for the ego-c costs about £5-6.00.
For £70 you can buy ten imist replacement coils and it'll last you 3-4 years.. You can also buy 12-14 ego-c atty's for £70..
So the mod is overpriced..
They all suck anyway with the imist being the best of a bad bunch.....

I'm sorry, I thought you meant a cartridge ego when you said C. Still the imist isn't a rebuildable / repairable as far as I know, you don't add your own wick and coil, you buy pre constructed replaceable coil units, I don't think it has any where near as much versatility as a true repairable. And it's only 50 odd GBP, the prices above are in Euro's.

Well my first (and at the moment only!) repairable is a clockworks RDA - that costs 30 odd quid and is still the best thing I have used.

Is that the one with the massive waiting list dave? The same guy that does the RTA I was interested in?

If 50 odd GBP for that makes sense to you that's fine.. Does not make any sense to me at all..

The waiting list for the RDA is not usually too bad compared to the RTA, but I am not sure of the current state of play - Steve (clockworks) will tell you if you pm him. The difference is that the RDA does not have a separate tank so you can only put about 1ml of juice in it at a time. Some people have reported success with adding some fish foam which gets the capacity up to about 2ml,but I haven't tried that as I am quite happy with it as it is and for me it works better than the RTA.

The factory built coils are better than anything you can put together by hand winding in my opinion.. I'm sure you are right macca in the context of the space available in a typical atomiser, but with the space available in a re-buildable you can choose the type of wick and wire that suits you, space it out more and make quite a neat coil. I've tried several highly rated atomisers and they are very good but for me everything is just a bit better with my home-made coils in my RDA. Now I have had some practice they come out to exactly the resistance I want (within about 0.1 ohm) every time. Now of course it is not just the coil that is doing this in the RDA - the rest of the design has an impact too and maybe if I transplanted a 306 into it it would be even better

I don't know as I haven't tried one yet If I had the money to pay for a repairable, I would do it in a shot, as I think in the long run you would save money. I have to be honest though, if the waiting lists for the RDA are shorter now, I'd probably choose that one, because it is the one that has been recommended many times.

Im in a queue for the RTA from clockworks. Should be a couple of weeks til delivery.
But also love the look of the vivi riva and givivng them a try later this week.
If they are as succesful as i think they`ll be i might just drop out of buying the RTA.
