I did my first build on the Pasito RBA and thought I'd post some pics. There's a couple YT vids on this (Mike Vapes and Vaping Insider were the ones I watched) and it's actually pretty easy if you bend the coil correctly before trying to mount it. Mike Vapes struggled with it and it's just not that tough.
I was lazy and started with an Advanced Vape Supply 316L SS clapton (28g/36g, 3.0mm 6 wrap) coil and pulled it down to a 1.5mm diameter on a coiling rod using a needle nose. I could have unwrapped and rewrapped but it was easier just to pull it down on the 1.5mm rod. I used 5 1/2 wraps and it came out to about 0.62 ohms. You need the leads coming off opposite of each other, and then bend them at a 90 into a "z" like this:
(Forgive the pic, it's a screenscrape from a Japanese reviewer)
Mounted it looked like this:
Wicking is simple, just cut it short enough that it comes down to the top of the slots but don't fill them.
Reassembled prior to putting in the pod
Not nearly as difficult as I thought it would be, but I couldn't do it without the magnifying headband with light that I have. Maybe your eyesight is better.
I'm vaping a 3mg freebase at 25w and it's a great vape. Interesting to see how long it lasts.
Hope this helps someone. Comments are welcome, including what builds you're using on your RBA. I'll probably try some Ni wire next time, but these coils were there so I used one.

. But still works. Seems to be just pressure fitted. It will seperate at the top line. But just pressed it back down and it's all good
