I have been drawn back to the para coil and doubt I'll change for now. Will those work in the popular RBA's?

Para coil? Double wire, but not twisted? If so, yes, but more difficult if no post holes.

So I was sitting around at home bored out of my mind so decided to try something new (unfortunately I do not have pics cause it was my first build, but when I try it again will take pics.

As I was saying wanted to try something new, looked around my vape draw and found an old Shooter (CE4) tank laying around doing nothing, thought to myself, I have never rebuilt a top coil, perhaps I should give it a try, after all if something goes wrong I will toss the tank as it wasnt being used.

Low and behold I managed to rebuild the coil. It is a lot like rebuilding an evod except that the cup on both ends are really long so it is hard to get clippers or scissors in there to cut the excess legs off.

Overall got it to work at 2.3ohms using cotton week, the vape is a lot hotter than that of the standard coil but I now use it as my night time zero nic device. At least this tank wont go to waste now.

Well done @BhavZ! Hope you enjoy your new Zero Nic tank

I've wondered what I could do to a Twisp head to see how much I could get out of it. Your experiment makes me want to try.

So. Dual coil 0.9 ohms on the Origen. Fiddly to get the wick into the coil. Threading from top, then pushed it gently thru with a piece of kanthal wire.
Great vape so far with my finest juice, Gambit. Flavor is really awesome. Will test further.

Enjoy it @Tom. And always great to have a "special" juice to try it on.
I built a coil on my Kayfun tonight that has been sitting quietly since it made me do a "Silver" at the vape meet.
I decided to put in Bowdens Mate, my favourite. I was not sorry.

Finally got the Ithaka working. Got some NR-R-NR coils from FT which are okish. The tails are far too short to make rebuilding this RBA easy. Came in at 1.1ohm

How do the other Ithaka owners get their coils together?

I think they use a wire zapper. Got no experience with this tho.

Seen a video of them zapping wire together. But who has a wire zapper locally?

I will post a simple diagram later on how to make a simple zapper that works.

Awesome! That is like 0.45-0.55 ohm coils. At least you have the efest battery.
How is the vape?

Had a little chemical and burning taste the 1st few drags. the chemical subsided, but that was probably the Ecowool i got from @johanct. the burning taste is sticking around a little longer. But the vapor prod is much better than my 1st setup.
Still having some issues getting the gurgling and leaking under control.

Bring the aqua with you when we have the vape meet. I will go through the wicking and filling and you will love this device!

Yes, a very finicky beast. What I do if it leaks is close everything, stand it upside down for some, turn back over, open the air flow control and vape. I do not open the juice control at all. When finished vaping I close the AFC. Certainly not an all day and carry device. But when it works it provides the most awesome vape.

Yes, please do that you two. Then @Rex Smit can do a picture tutorial for us far away guys.

Had to re-wick the Kayfun today and sommer decided to try a new coil.

Double Twisted 26g Kantal, 6 wraps, 1mm id, 1Ohm

Takes a while to heat up but when its hot its hot

Glowing nice

mmmmmm yummy cotton

Flavour and TH with this thick Kanthal is awesome but its like a Alfa, takes a while to heat up but when it goes it goes great! Oh and its a biatch to fasten on those small screws, had to try and wrap it around the screws to get it stay there.
