So for recoiling protank 2 heads (and got a Kayfun on the way too)

Is a shopping list of

10m of .25 a1 kanthal
10m of .3 a1 kanthal
100% pure cotton pads(or jap cotton?)
Precision screwdriver set
Wire clippers

Got my istick or Itaste to check ohms
Got a coil jig from myepack ( bit tiny but)
Got a lighter or is it advisable to get a blowtorch?

Yep that covers all you need, never used a lighter but it will work although slower. I'd get a blowtorch, there not expensive although if you wrap the coils pretty type you can stick them on a mod to heat up then squeeze together with tweezers AFTER you let go of the fire button or during firing IF you use ceramic tweezers.

ceramic tweezers are also a massive little help but no rush for them

Can you recommend a good dripper for a beginner why I'm ordering from fasttech as I'm looking to start mixing in a couple of month and I've read it's easier to try ur juice on a dripper

The 3 best I've had from there are the tugboat v2, tobh v2 and dark horse.

tugboat for ease of build & flavour.

Tobh for ease of build and flavour & clouds.
www.fasttech.com/products/3028/10007863/1716603

Dark horse for build quality, ease of build & clouds (best quality dripper I've had from FT)
www.fasttech.com/products/3028/10009911/1926003

My fave is the dark horse atm but I'm not sure I can recommend for a beginner so even though its my fave, my advice would be get one of the other 2.

c1booth just noticed this dropped today too.

I have to give this a try!

If its anything close to the original then well worth a go!!

Personally I really rate the Mephisto  www.fasttech.com/search?mephisto  as it has large post holes and good solid Flat top screws which makes it a doddle for a beginner. It gives good vapour and taste too, and is inexpensive.

c1booth - I started with an IGO-L and it's a simple no-frills dripper with a reasonably deep juice well to pack your wick into. Loads of room to work, and just make sure the airhole is lined up with the coil before you try it out!
I also have a Magma and a Plume Veil, although I have also heard good reports of the Mephisto - all these last three drippers can be built with a single coil to get you started, but will accommodate dual coils later down the line, which doubles the flavour, vapour and taste.
Whichever one you get, there will be a learning curve involved, and you will have successes and failures which is all part of the fun.
Once you get a good coil (or coils!) going, you will get so much more flavour from your juices!

For single coil dripper I love the igo L
Great for testing juices on.

I'll have a proper look when I get home thanks for your advice

Get coiling and vaping with this little lot and good to see you got a blowtorch. A lighter will work eventually but by you'll need burn proof fingers

Like the look of that design, in the basket it goes.  

[c1booth]

Can I ask I've been doing a lot of reading on coils and stuff knowing my stuff is on the way

What is the direr de between a coil and microcoil?
Is a dual coil just 2 coils/microcoils?

[Deleted]

Old thread alive again......

Few months on and here is my first ever dripper... Athough my first ever coil is a little beat up i still use this to test new juice.



Own about ten drippers now but still plenty to try and more to learn...
