Surely this must be simple......?

[ghostrider1971]

Evening each,

I like to think I am a reasonably intelligent person....

However (and more the fool me for missing the vape meeting last night....) tonight I have spent 45 minutes trying to fit a coil inside my Narda clone.....and I just cannot do it....

Yes, I've watched YT videos.....Yes, I've read reviews....

I'm trying to use a prebuilt fused clapton with 5 wraps - unwound slightly to give me two ends....

Perhaps this is a dexterity issue, but I can't even get the effing screws to tighten down without the wire popping out....

Indulge me, pretend I am now swearing, very loudly, for 10 minutes non-stop.....

I am absolutely dreading the coil that thebishman kindly put in my Hadaly clone ever breaking down....

Help......please......

Are you anywhere near Camberwell, if so and can pop into Caffe Vape, Coldharbour Lane between 10am and 8pm, I'll see if I can help

[ghostrider1971]

Bob - That's a really kind offer - thank you

Are you there most days?

Most days, but not always all day, best to send me a PM if you are planning to come down letting me know what day and/or time, I only live round the corner from the cafe, was looking at the RDA and I think it maybe the wire is too thick for the screws, especially as it is a clone, but until I have a go myself not sure.

Narda clones struggle with thicker wire.
Putting a tiny washer under the screws helps to hold thicker gauge wire.
Its a fiddly bugger but worth the effort

[phtumshk]

I had similar issues with mine, the shoulders of the screws werent square so as you tighten down onto fatter wires it just pushes the wire out.
It may be better to source new screws or some diddy washers if you plan on keeping it.

I pre-bend fat wires on the Narda.

Then I hold them in place (with my thumb I think) whilst tightening .

There are worse atomizers for this... I know, hard to believe.

I'm so glad the Hadaly has posts and screws

Those will be an ABSOLUTE requirement for any future RDA's I buy

Wouldn't give a NarDA to my worst enemy.
Terrible design. 
Wouldn't swap my Hadalys for all the tea in China.
Superior in every respect.

Yes I'm liking the look of the hadaly myself. I watched the vaping biker review the weekend and thought it looked a nice compromise between mahoosive cloudage and whispies.
I think I might invest in one of them

I'm going under the noodle curtain on this one. Wish me and my parcel good luck.

[tsoko]

I have 4 NarDas and they are a pain to build on but once you gave the knack easy peasy

[thebishman]

There is a knack to putting coils in them but once in job done. Only need to rewick. Great flavour too.

Should have come to the meet. More than 1 or 2 of us using them.  

Some had more than 1.
