So I've started thinking that the rba may be a better option for me since I'm killing stock coils in a matter of days! (Literally, my last stock coil died after 2 days!!). It's becoming rather expensive buying 3 new stock coils practically every week at a tenner a pop!
Would the rba be more economical? Is it easy to build and wick etc? I've never done anything in terms of wicking, or well, anything beyond buying new stock coils 😂
Any advice would be much appreciated! Also, where would I get the materials (cotton etc) and do the wire coils come already spiralled? (Assuming of course that those can be changed??).
Can't you just tell I've no idea about it all 😂 someone please take pity on me and explain all!!

I tend to buy all my coils ready shaped (so to speak) and I order most from fasttech China as they are really cheap and I cant tell much difference between them and bespoke handmade in UK versions. I recommend wotofo or UD as a good Chinese brand but just have a look and read reviews on various coils and brands on their website. Obviously there's a couple of weeks wait but I normally make sure I've plenty of stock in. One ready made coil can last a fair time if you are happy to clean and rewick regularly. A dry burn (coil with no wick but powered on mod to get built on crud off) and then new cotton wick and you are good to go for another few days. When fitting a ready made wire for the first time its good to slide a screwdriver/drill bit through middle so you dont deform coil whist getting legs of coil tightened up but its a fairly straightforward task and youtube has lots of tutorials to help you along the way and feel free to ask in forum, we are all happy to help

Without wanting to put you off building, there is always the option of buying a new tank to consider.
I've been using the Horizon Falcon for 9 months or so and I'm yet to have a coil last less than a fortnight. I have less experience with the Aspire Cleito Pro, but the coil that was pre-installed when I got the tank was still useable after the best part of four weeks. I could have got a few more days out of it, but had no reason to put the coil through a flavour change after it handled 120ml of quite a sweet juice like a champ.
Both are a lot better for flavour than the Prince and the Falcon coils are a similar price. I ordered my first box of Cleito Pro coils yesterday, £13 for 5. A bargain if they all last half as long as the hero of a coil I started with.
