As far as I know, none of them are "made" to be rebuildable, but some are more rebuildable than others. If they were "made to be rebuilt" they would be RBAs lol.

Your absolute best bet, if you need a drop in tank, is to find and invest in tanks that have RBAs available and buy some RBAs for it as well as the drop in coils.

I cannot recommend much that I use because either the tank, the coils or the RBA or all of the above are hard to find anymore. If you can find Kangertech Subtank Mini or Protank 4 tanks, fasttech still sells the Subtank RBA Plus (single coil) that fits both tanks. The Protank 4 comes with it's own unique RBA but it's a dual coil RBA and not made very well. Both tanks use the Kanger SSOCC drop in coils.

Smok seems to have a lot of tanks in the "Beast" and "Baby Beast" line that you may still be able to buy the tanks the coils and the RBAs. I never got into smok tanks and RBAs because they have to many and the names are so similar and very confusing. Not to mention I hate their quality. But a lot of people like their tanks & coils.

Yo....anyone know any recent or older atomizer with drop in coils that are made to be rebuilded??? :vapor::vapor::vapor::vapor::vapor:

I like these a LOT.

Joyetech Ego One CLR Atomizer Head – VaporDNA

Very easy to re-wick, and not terrible to rebuild.

It may be tough to find atties that take them now, but if you DO venture, it's important to note that the CLR coils are the ones you want. The "R" is for Rebuildable.

The regular CL coils (no "R") are the polar opposites of the CLRs. They're terrible (IMO).

Also, you may want to take a look into the Vaporesso NRG line of tanks that take the GT 2 coils. Look at pictures of that GT 2 coil head. They look to be very easy to rebuild.

But you have to be willing to rebuild vertically and wick accordingly. You can't really do a straight-forward horizontal build in these coil heads because they have more than 2 wick holes that are large. So it has to be a vertical coil warped in cotton. You don't have to build them with a dual parallel vertical coil as they are one in the factory, a single vertical coil will work.

These coils look easy to rebuild because the top is wide open. All you have to do is remove the positive pin at the bottom (which comes right out with a simple pull) to trap you positive and negative coil legs.

There are other tanks that have similar coils, but the NRG tanks with GT 2 coils come to mind. Even smok beast line has similar coils.

One thing you forgot to mention, though. Are you looking for MTL or DL tanks? The ones I suggested are mostly VERY loose MTL, RDL and DL tanks/coils.

Most MTL tanks I've seen have very small coil heads that are much harder for most people to rebuild.

For an MTL tank that is still widely available, the Aspire Nautilus mini and Nautilus GT tanks and the coils they use (they use the same Nautilus coil) are rebuildable, but tedious. Nice thing about it is there are youtube videos about rebuilding them as that was still at a time when people were willing to rebuild coil heads.

Well I stand corrected. Someone actually DID make a factory coil that was "made to rebuild". Learn something new everyday.

I actually already can rebuild the z coils and they work very good...it just that it's not the most fast and convenient rebuild Soo I thought to try find another that is rebuildable type of coil....the joyetech ego atty is the only one I can find....but it's hard to find those clr coils in my country I guess I need try order from outside my country....also yeah I was thinking maybe a coil it's not rebuildable but the design make it easy to rebuild...I will check on what u guys suggest :headbang:

@Superuser187, can you give is more information on your current vaping style or habits?

I'd say that RDA or RDTA would be a better option. As something that is specifically designed to rebuilt with plenty of space to do so will make things considerably easier.

I already have the hellvape md....I do mtl and usually kinda airy I guess since I like 2mm or more in airflow rings...it just that I wanted to have a tank with drop in rebuildable coils from manufacturer if there was any like the joyetech clr coils

Lots of European, Canadian, British, Australian, Indian, and other non-USA vapers buy from Fasttech and all the other popular Chinese retailers. In fact, the fasttech forum is frequented mostly by non-USA vapers from what I can gather.

What I like about RBA tanks is that you can buy several RBAs, build/wick them up ahead of time (once you become experienced on how they need to be built), then you can put them in a case or a baggie and carry those built RBAs around with you just like you would drop in coils. And they take drop in coils so you still have that convenience.

There are two tanks with rebuildable (RBA) coils that were made to be rebuilt: Kanger Subtank Mini and Ego One tank with CLR coils (R stands for rebuildable). I own, use and like both.

I've also seen pod mods with rebuildable coils (Vinci and Vinci X, for example).

There are other drop-in coils (like the JoyeTech CLR coils already mentioned), that are sold in boxes of 5, and sometimes singly...that were made to be rebuildable. Quite a few of us bought the 5-packs of them when I found them on the EleafUS website last December. That website has since closed down though. However, I just bought some of the single ones on Heaven Gifts this past July for $1.28/coil.

They're the Eleaf ECR coils. They were shown as being compatible with the following Eleaf tanks on their website: iJust 2/ iJust 2 Mini / iJust S / Melo / Melo 2 / Melo 3 / Melo 3 Mini. A coil compatibility chart on another website showed they'd also work in these tanks, too: Triton 1 & 2, Atlantis 1 & 2, Atlantis Evo, Herakles, Tobecco Super Tank + Mini. I haven't checked lately, but Heaven Gifts may still have some of the coils.

In case you have friends who vape DTL...the Eleaf ERL is an RBA head for several DTL tanks. It comes boxed with a few coils, some cotton, screws, and a hex key. It's not very well-known and is 1 of the hardest RBA heads to find. With the help of a friend, I got 4 from a wholesale only website last February. The ERL works in the Melo RT25, Sense Blazer 200, Arctic V12, and the Smok Cloud Beast.

Superuser the joyetech clr as mentioned in this thread is a very good and simple setup and they are made to be rebuilt been using them for years in rotation .
The cotton just get changed out when spent and eventually the coil itself will get re made.
As a matter of fact its the joyetech clr setup that i got the idea to take apart an Innokin Zenith 1.6 coil head with its vertical wick and turn it into a working fine horizontal wick around 1.0 ohms with a few modifications as Innokin does not make a re-buildable coil head for the Zenith or its newer brothers.

I agree. They are good and super user-friendly. The can be just rewicked and/or dry burned gently and rewicked many times before they need to be rebuilt. I don't understand why they never became more popular. The best coils Joyetech ever made.
