Piecing together an e-nail?

Hey everyone. So I was wondering if anyone has experiencing making their own E-nail. Either through wiring their own PID, or buying a cheap one (I've seen the name Auber thrown around for cheap reliable PID's, I think the cheapest starts at like close to $60. Then I need a coil heater, right? That's another $20ish there. I don't know if my nail is compatible with an e-nail. It's a quartz bucket banger, but it may be too shallow to fit well into a regular coil. So let's say I need another nail. That's $15ish.

So that's $95 right there. The kits I've seen at my LHS which come with everything, as well as on Dhgate, seem to go between $110-$130. Is it even worth it for me to piece my own together at this point? Will it result in a higher quality e-nail? I can't see how much of a difference the pid or coil can make, given it's just the heat source, aside from how well it holds a given temp.

I don't think I saved any money by building my enail, but I have a better Omron PiD and I am not afraid to make mods and changes. I was in at around $100 before I built a custom case.

I've been thinking about getting the Divine Tribe one as it is very reasonably priced http://ineedhemp.com/product/electric-enail/

I like their atomizers quite a bit as well so thinking I'll take the plunge one the enail sometime soonish. Gotta get a better dab rig first though.

I've never used this model before though so I can't speak to it's quality.

I bought this one.....seems hard to justify the DYI effort when you can get a good Omron E5CC QX PID built in box with coil for about $130 + shipping. Total came out to be $174 with paypal and shipping charges and its a very good box.

Then there is always Gimodo but watch which ones have Omron E5CC PIDs and which do not

I'm sure you can make one but will it really be easier/cheaper??

Yeah, at this point I decided to pick up one from my LHS. They have them for $110.
