Why a rebuildable in the first place?
In the UK moves are afoot to try to ban Disposable Vapes, as usual to “protect the Kiddiewinks,” protect the environment ( litter ) and to stop fires in bin lorries reportedly caused by incorrect disposal.
The extreme “Ban Everything Brigade” is beginning to call for a situation as in Australia where a prescription from a doctor is required to purchase vaping liquid containing nicotine.
China is going out of favour with, what is laughingly called the British Government, which could make getting coils, mods, atomisers etc difficult in the longer term.
So for me it was time to stock up with tanks, wire, cotton, tools and E Liquids ( and likely a couple of mech mods later “just in case”)
Why a Brunhilde MTL particularly?
The consensus of reviews was that they were well made, easy to wire and wick, rarely gave dry hits, came with plenty of spare parts and offered an enjoyable vaping experience.
Additionally to my eyes they looked really good.
On this last, some thought they were over tall, but I was used to Nautilus Minis and even when fitted with the longer supplied drip tip they are no taller ( though fatter) than a Nauti Mini.
The MTL version will fit on a smaller mod such as an iStick 30W, but looks unbalanced and can be knocked over readily as I can attest.
Setting Up The Brunhilde MTL …
On mine every part was very tightly fitted and it took real effort to get the cap off and also to replace the drip tip.
If you want a really open draw you can use the Brunhilde without fitting a screw in air insert, otherwise you have to select the insert you reckon will best suit you and you must do this before you fit the coil and wick.
Screwing in an insert can be fiddlesome - a magnetised screwdriver makes it easier ( and saves you crawling around on the floor looking for it if the small things ping out!)
My Brunhilde came with two spare coils ( initially reading 0.8 Ohms but going up to 0.92 Ohms over the month of daily use) and fitting one of these was simple as was wicking it with the supplied tagged cotton strips.
Two drip tips are supplied, the shorter wider one prefitted - if you wish to use the longer one you may find it easier to get the fitted one out before you put the top cap on - mine was exceedingly tight.
After priming the wick, the tank was filled using a plastic needle nosed bottle, through the small hole with three drops marked on it. The larger hole is the top airflow.
How did it vape?
Superbly for me - an old style, low power, higher strength nicotine, longer drip tip MTL vaper. I found 13.5 watts with the second largest insert, 0.8 ohm coil and the top air vent fully open offered a perfect vape - slightly looser than a Nauti Mini full open and about the same as a Zenith with maybe three holes open.
I used it as a daily driver for a month, and as an experiment, vaped it until it seemed to be empty and never got a dry hit.
I wanted to see how long a wick would last and using clear menthol juice I got the month out of it.
The Brunhilde never leaked, not even when left on its side.
The flavour of my Menthol Chill liquid remained consistently excellent.
I liked it so much, I bought a Kroma A Mod for a more balanced look and to make it less easy to knock over, then a second Brunhilde MTL and a Geekvape Aegis L200 mod as a backup - though when out, for lighter weight, I did still mount them on iSticks.
My 14 Nautilus Minis are cleaned and in long term storage - which says quite something!
