oh thats true... I suppose that thought hadn't dawned on me, although I still found great levity in stealing buttons from the wifes blouses!
I may have to order some of those just to fiddle with.

I ordered them on ebay. They come in various sizes. In the photo you can see a virgin one in the little baggie it shipped in.

here is where i got mine, there are other sizes, these are very small, they work well for many pen/eGo sized systems.

i've been fiddling with dabs on my nic vape and am pretty impressed, even compared to a nail or the hercules/iris combo i usually rely on. time to pick up a concentrate specific RBA, any suggestions on what is best suited for the purpose these days? i'm shopping around but it can't hurt to ask FC.
my criteria for what is "best suited" change every few days so i'm pretty open to suggestions.

i prefer the simple yet extremely effective igo-w. can be had for $10 and you can get them/parts at about any vape shop you look. want adj air flow? get the halo cap for it. that is what i run and i love it.
im not sure there are any drippers that are more suited for our use...? just whatever you like.

i'm thinking specifics like the size and shape of the drip pan/well, position of the airholes, size/type/number of posts, etc for what would be an optimal build for concentrates.
for instance in my current build for nic juice i'm using the magma, but since my ejuice coils are directly over the airflow holes, coupled with the fact that it has a deep juice well, any concentrates that splash about make a bloody mess that can't be vaped, it ends up too far away from the coil. the magma's design, while stellar for tasting ejuice, is shit for vaping errl.
i'm leaning towards an immortalizer at present because the ceramic deck should prevent shorts from the coil being too near (touching) the base of the atomizer.

Consider the triangle rda. It's 16mm, and also has a ceramic deck. Plus I feel it's post design lends itself better to a center build

thanks, can you point me in the right direction so i can check it out? i've found several RBA named "triangle" but none of them yet seem to match the description.

gotcha. what kind of coil/wick are you running? if you use something that absorbs the heated oil there should be little to no splashing. at least in my experience. the only oil that hits the deck on my rdas is residual buildup from the cloud inside there. nothing splatters or drips off. just curious.

heh, at this exact moment? nothing very errl specific. 3x hand twisted 30 gauge kanthal with three wraps positioned directly above the airhole, forget the diameter of the wraps but 3 of them, for right about 1 ohm. filled with ko gen doh. the only reason it has errl in it is because i'm gonna clean it in a moment and build something else, i build often to acquire skill in the art and because i'm bored.
i've yet to build an oil oriented setup on my vapes because neither of my current rba (kraken, magma) are well suited for it, but with a low resitance/high wattage setup the results are satisfactory enough that i'm willing to spend the 5-50$ to get an rba solely for the purpose of building oil coils.
helluva lot cheaper to lose or drop than my sr71/iris to boot.
i agree one of the more absorbent coils meant for wickless vaping is probably going to be a lot less messy.
zipper coils maybe? claptons i suppose would work well but i don't own a drill atm. has to be something i can do by hand. mundy's magic coil? mundy made all the originals by hand.
probably dual or quad coil for maximum suface coverage of the deck with minimal resistance. as low to the deck as possible. preferably a pretty shallow pan so the melty errl has nowhere to really run.
not really sure about airflow for errl.....haven't been able to play much with that, but for nic juice i usually have it wide open.
almost everything i look at has some flaw for errl. post holes too high, well too deep, airflow in a place that will get clogged by runoff, etc. the immortalizer i'm looking at has airholes i believe will badly need drilling if nothing else.
i'm fairly tempted by that igo w-15 i came across in your sig thread.....

I have been running a wick in my dab setup. It is a chimney build though, so the wick is around the outside of the coil. I just drop smallish dabs in the middle of the coil. Not much gets on the deck. Just in case after a few hits I drip some EJ mix in there, hoping that it mixes with any remains and then gets wicked back up to the coil. The wick does get pretty gunked up. I usually smoke some concentrate/ej mix ejuice during the day and do a dab or two in the RDA at night. Have been needing to rewick every couple of days, but since the wick is on the outside of the coil its not a big deal, even with flimsy ass ni wire. Really wish the readyxwick had a wider version that was flatter so I could use it on this chimney. I can almost stuff the whole coil inside a 3mm readyxwick, but then I can't have a tail on the deck, well not without blocking airflow. Would be much easier to clean.

Yup empire mods are very reputable- an old long standing company, makers of the first drip shield! And that's where I would have sent you too- it's actually hard to find them elsewhere.
2clicker how is your

fixed!
the DBCs treat me very well. they last a couple of months. can easily be cleaned on the spot. currently im using a smaller version of the DBC and its mounted on the sides of the posts, down near the deck. ill try to get a pic up of it later. its 26g kanthal inside 2mm RXW. it comes in at about .4 ohms and ist a hot little fucker. i am really enjoying the smaller size of this one. it still absorbs my dabs so its just enough RXW (about 1.25"). it is a tad hot for my liking, but it produces vapor in a sec. i find i like a .8-1 ohm coil is best for me. i bet building the next coil the same, but swapping the 26g for 28 or 30g will get me in that resistance range.
btw... what wick is that in your pic? is that 3mm RXC? amd what gauge wire is in there?

Man... How did you fix that? Lol
It's the xc132, which is the thinner diameter one. Inside is a Rene 41 wire, which I believe is ohm equivalent to 27 gauge kanthal, but super springy and hard to work with. It looks bigger because the cyclone deck is 14mm. It was proof of concept only. If I redo it it will be with a nickel/kanthal twisted hybrid wire so I can use temperature protection on my dna40 vapor shark.... That is, if I can ever get my hands on some concentrate. :-p otherwise, I might see how well your stovetop works with flower. I do hope I get access to some concentrate though ( for a lot of reasons, I can't make my own)

Thanks. Can you post up a pic of the new build? Also, I have an atomizer incoming with airflow from the top of the cap. Will post up pics later
Oh and how much did you use to "load" the wick?

im wondering if your referring to the hobo v2 rda. if so I have one. its tight... but the screws were so small I lost most pretty quick... if I could replace those screws id have it back in rotation cause that airflow contol was the tits and it never leaked barring overfilling....

Best set up I've made yet. Wicked with ss mesh, 24g at .4ish ohms. Works really well at not getting any waste oil melting out.
Also steel mesh is from stainless steel pipe screens I had laying around. Don't need any special order things.
Maybe it can be a touch hotter, but bho runs and combusts down vertical coil, hitting bottom horizontal coil and seems the rest gets combust. No waste into the bottom of my rda

heh, i always re purpose worn out screens from various bits of concentrate gear when i want a SS wick. i've yet to run out of random bits and need to order any, plus they seem to last a very long time.
not a bad build, i was actually thinking of something similar. conical vertical coil over a stovetop. the trick would be getting the resistance to match on two completely different coils but wire is pretty cheap and i like to play.

Not teallyenjoying the setup I posted up, though with some juice in the coil it's serviceable vape. So I bought this bad boy, we'll see how well it works, from ineedhemp
