PM'd you.

I use a Roller or a Dingo every day - my current fave is a roller with a Kick 2 and a Squape. The Roller is a first class mech mod, but as already said keep the contacts clean. If juice leaks into the switch you will need to clean it. If you think you want to use a Kick then order the Kick extension at the same time as you order your mod and they will ensure the finish matches. I recommend the rhodium plated brass 510 connector - excellent conductivity and no tarnishing.

One nice thing about the Roller and Dingo is that you can buy a new switch, 510 connector, hot spring etc so they can last for ever.... just replace the bit that has worn out.

The standard matte finish wears the best IMHO, although the polished finish is verrrrry shiny

Good Luck! I hope you find your short - I would suspect the top connector may have a defective/damaged insulator that is causing the problem.

That's exactly what I did when I started vaping

About 12 weeks in I took a huge gamble and bought a Kayfun. At that time the only Kayfun you could buy cost over £100, but I reasoned that if I really couldn't get on with it I could get most of my money back by selling it on the classifieds.

In retrospect it probably took me a couple of months before my coiling skills developed enough for me to get the best out of it - but right from the start (even when I was struggling to 'do it right') I noticed a worthwhile improvement over the cheap clearomiser I had been used to.

The honest truth is that it will inevitably take a little time for you to get used to doing this stuff - but it really isn't that difficult. OK if you suffer from DTs or you are severely arthritic then it might be a bridge too far, but anyone with normal dexterity can teach themselves to re-coil. It's just a matter of perseveerence and practice. To put it objectively driving a car requires much higher manual coordination skills than folding a wick and winding a coil

As others have said having the right tools really helps. They don't have to cost much.

I'm saying this because I think some folks miss out on a great vaping experience because they convince themselves that rebuildables are only for a select few who have amazing manual dexterity - my experience is that once you commit to doing it you will soon develop the necessary abilities. If you had to have all the skills of a master watchmaker I wouldn't stand a chance!

Have a go I say!

I've had a number of rebuildables (both genesis type and silica) over the last year. The easiest (and by far the most fiddle-free) has been the GP Spheroid which I would recommend to anybody. The Kayfun is also quite simple (and cheaper Kayfun clones are available). The Spheroid is a very simple, basic device - but it produces a fabulous vape! Unfortunately it costs nearly £80

Yep it's an Ithaka with a steel window instead of the usual polycarbonate on a 'Just GG' mod.
