Rebuildable questions from a beginner

For what it's worth I wouldn't go with a clone for your first time. I'd go with the Neeko.

Great minds and all that! Got a Neeko on the way. I read through a few threads on here and saw how much folks were gushing over it when it came out. Wanted a safe option to learn on and get used to.

Thanks to everybody for the advice.

Quick update...I have done a couple of builds on my neeko, first ever attempt had flavour but was a bit gurgly. Tried again and it vaped well. Only problem is I'm not getting a lot of flavour now. Using 28ga kanthal round wire, 2.5mm id 6 wraps at 1.1 ohms. Organic Japanese cotton pads from nature vapes. It's only day 1 but a tad disappointed.

That's my plan buddy, I've not long had my zlide and I know I have 2 solid stock options ready. I'm just curious to see the difference in the vape experience more than worrying about coil cost and such.

If your spending less on Coils you have more to spend on other things, there are a lot of RTA's that are easy to build and some that are a pita to build. The advice is always on POTV all you need do is ask.

Sounds like a good excuse for more shiny things!

Don't push cotton into the juice wells let it find it's own way, as for cotton, when threading it you just need a bit of resistance. cut round about the end of the deck and remember cotton just sits loose in the juice well. Keep your coil 2 or 3 mm above the airflow in the centre.

Thank you for that. The hardest part I've found so far is judging how much cotton to use. The 2.5mm coil seems really small to thread through. My coil is sitting about 1.5 mm above the 1.2mm air hole, so maybe it's a bit low.

Like i say cut what to think is enough and roll the end of the cotton to a point to thread through, you just need a little resistance when pulling it through

Have been toying with the idea of gettng an MTL RTA, and have been reading threads like this with interest. Thanks for posting that review @LordOdin , I have now deleted a Neeko from my 'possible list'. Doesn't sound like the best starter RTA.
