Though to be fair I have spent over £50 setting myself up for mixing and if my juices turn out ok should save some money next month. 2½ months in and every week I've been telling myself I've got everything I need and won't be buying anything else for a while - then I decide there is something else I need to try! This week is mixing Heh, this does not stop - not for me in any case! But it's a lot more fun than smoking, better for me and a whole new hobby, so I count myself as winning With the Olympian - be careful not to dry burn it the first time you use it, this can short them. Other than that, just rinse and vape!

to be honest, the igo is one of the easiest to coil. You could have a go at recoiling nova's or similar if you use those to get some practice in/ To test the coils you can either use a multimeter or a something like a Vamo or another device which has short circuit protection ... an iTaste VV is a good option for this and not a million miles away from a riva plus it is variable voltage ... it might look a bit weird with an igo on it. There are risks to batteries if atomisers short. The other option of course for dripping is the tried and tested 306 ... what Jen said Sounds like I'd need to buy even more bits and bobs - might be a bit too complicated for me at this stage. Earlier this evening I checked out how much I'd spent on vaping this month and it's more than I would have spent on the stinkies!! Though to be fair I have spent over £50 setting myself up for mixing and if my juices turn out ok should save some money next month. Kanthal wire is cheap as chips from Dee on the forum 1mm Silica wick is £3.50 for 5 metres from liberty-flights ... www.liberty-flights.co.uk/product.asp?id=172A multimeter is about 3-5 quid off ebay - there are tutorials on how to use them ... quite simple for about 2 packets of fags (thats including the igo) you are up and running

Still too scared Mind you, I said that about mixing last month I'm with you! I probably will get into it eventually, cos those atty head costs can get annoying, but for now I want to mix and vape and not faff with wires All power to those who do though!

C'mon guys ... it's easy! If you can get your head around pg/vg ratio's, and controlling the number of drops from a flavour bottle, recoiling is a doddle ... (sausage finger freaks excluded)

For those that like the idea of rebuildables but don't fancy making wicks and coils, there is an alternative. You can buy pre-coiled wicks and just fix them into any rebuildable, whether it's a carto or an atty. They work out at about 30p each

How difficult is it? Don't you have to connect wires to something or other?
