I am going to try a Coil Master 521 Tab with the Coil Master DIY Kit V2. These are for building and testing your own coils. Trust me, these items are a must when building coils. It can be difficult to do a build when it is attached to the vaporizer.
Of course, I need a new tank to test the kit out with. I am used to the term RBA (rebuildable bottom automizer) now they are calling the newer devices RTA (rebuildable tank automizer). Then there are the RDA (rebuildable drip automizer), but I am not in to those.
What I am looking for is a nice rig that can handle dual coil that has a good rep for not leaking, and enough space to build exotic coils (like using tiger wire and such).
Here is the tank I am going with: The Griffin by GeekVape. It is super cool that you can close off the oil inlet holes from outside the tank. You can also turn off the airflow. This should be great for transporting. I will assume with the oil holes and air holes closed, the unit will not leak.
Originally I had a video up by RIPTRIPPERS, but sadly, they have sold out the vaping community. They are willing to say anything (crazy talk) for a buck, even if it is against the vaping community and lies. So I have switched the review on the Griffin tank to Zophie. She is far better skilled anyway. She will build coils on video, not just talk about them.
Keeping in mind with the reviews, most are first impressions. After first impressions, problems could arise. What works for one, may not work for another.
When I can test it I will report back. I just ordered one so it will be a week or two.
I am no sure when the ceramic coils I ordered for the mini and nano will arrive. As soon as I can test them out, I will follow up with the results.

As soon as these items become available again, out of stock everywhere, I just pre-ordered one. It is a top airflow kit for the Griffin. I am not doing this for e-ciggs, I am pretty happy with my kanger top and bottom fill nano, and the mini top fill. This is more dedicated to cannabis. It may take me a bit to get the coils and wicking correct. I will have to make more oil to be able to test this properly. I will just do a batch of QWISO.
I really like what Mike says, I have faith in his opinions. He does quality videos on vaping.

First thing first.
I received the LeCig ceramic coil. Right now all I can offer is my first impression. Many times a first impression can be opposite after long term. As for now, I am impressed. The first strange thing to me is I had to kick up my wattage from 15 to around 30. That is with a 0.5 ohm coil. Most people operate in the 30 watt range, but for me, 15 has been my choice. It does seem more tasty as others have claimed. There is less exhale on the vapor, almost as if it is more clean. So far, it is great, and maybe the best yet, as long as it lasts. I will do a follow up after I use it for a while, but first impression, thumbs up.
Here is a regular coil (top right) and the ceramic coil (bottom right). I was concerned at first to see the holes in the ceramic coil being smaller. At this point I am not as concerned as I was. If this coil can handle some of my premium, not winterized RSO, without failures for a full 4 grams, then I will still give it a thumbs up.
Regular coil with e-cigg oil left, ceramic coil with cannabis oil right. I didn't want to use a full tank until I tested it out a bit just to make sure it could handle the cannabis oil.

I have decided to give it another go and make my own coils. I have tried in the past, but did not have the proper tools to do it right. Also, the devices that were available at that time were very difficult to work with. There were three post designs meant for dual coils but only two wicking holes. There were not many tutorials online to help. Also, box mods were not around yet. Then I ran into problems with batteries, so I scrapped the idea.
Now that I am more familiar with batteries, mechanicals, and box mods, I am ready to give it another go. It may be a while before I get to it, but I did invest in some nice tools to help me do it right, as well as make it more convenient. You see, I am getting old, and tired of improvising! LOL
After viewing many video tutorials of coil building I invested in some Coil Master equipment. After all, I did order the Griffin and have to be able to use it with something right? Coil Master has a very nice tool kit as well as a nice build, test, vape stand called the 521 Tab.
 
I will start off using my e-cigg oils until I get the process down pat.
Since the Griffin probably will not arrive for about a week. I am going to take on the challenge of trying to get the Kanger mini RBA to accommodate a 1.5 ohm coil. You don't hear much about that range, but I want to give it a try and see if I can do it. I may have to wait until I get the 32 gauge coil of wire to achieve that range.
Next time I try the RBA for the mini I will have it wicked properly for the cannabis oil and hopefully I will make the coil with a fused calpton coil.
