rebuilds

[rezello]

Right then, well, I would really like to start getting into rebuilding my own stuff, just not sure where to start, i feel its a bit of a mine field with the whole, RBA's RDA's and RTA's, what they mean for me and whats best for what and what I'm best starting off with and looking at the ohmmeters and seeing how they differ in price from the tool kits which include one and if its worth going for the whole tool kit?

lots and lots of advice needed from experienced re-builders please especially recommendations on where to start and a beginners kit that i need to get together. 

I've looked all over the internet for beginners guides etc but its not the same as being able to ask questions about whats been said in these posts. 

Ta very much in advance !

Its probably easier/cheaper to piece a bespoke kit together depending on your needs and what you already have.
If you have a mod with display showing your coil resistance you wont really need an ohmeter.

efun have the Coil Master V2 kit for $19.99.
www.efun.top/coil-master-diy-kit-v2-tool-set.html
This one just has a regular ohm meter/reader not the fancy shmancy one that fires the coils too which you can do on your mod anyway.

Or they have the V3 kit for $23.99.
www.efun.top/coil-master-diy-style-kit-v3.html
This one does have the fancy ohm meter which fires the coils too.

I always buy my wire from stealthvape, use the dropdown menu to select spool size/ wire gauge.
www.stealthvape.co.uk/wire/KANTHAL-REELS-SPOOLS
The higher the number is of the wire gauge the thinner the wire, the thinner the wire the more fiddly it is to build with.
I would grab a 10m spool of 26AWG, 24AWG and 22AWG it's only £2.99 a reel plus you get 50% extra free so you actually get 15m of each not 10m.
If you add this to your cart they'll send you a few sheets of cotton free too.

If you want a bunch of cotton pads then Muji or Puff is fine it's all i use, a bag will last forever.
Muji www.muji.eu/pages/online.asp?Sec=17&Sub=70&PID=4479
Puff www.amazon.co.uk/Cotton-Labo-Organic-Puff-200Pc/dp/B000TCD51A

As far as where to start well you can't really go wrong with a dripper regardless of how you wick it because you are supplying the juice to the cotton yourself from the bottle, pick a cheapo clone from China you fancy the look of then pop over to Youtube and search for a review of that RDA 90% of the reviews will have a build and wick section in and you can get an idea of the style of vape you get from it too.
Tanks can be a little trickier some you have to be fairly fussy about how you wick them to avoid dry hits or leaks and others are not so fussy.
If you do the mouth to lung thing then the Kayfun V5 is an easy one to build on and wick you can find the clones on the Chinese sites for a good price, i use the Mini version myself i just prefer the proportions.
www.fasttech.com/products/3028/10006473/5374600-sxk-kayfun-v5-mini-styled-rta-rebuildable-tank
The full size one is the same diameter just taller.

If you like a good airy direct lung vape then the Aromamizer Supreme V2 is a doodle to build on and wick and a great vape one of my favourites i use every day.

Hi rezello

I personally would go for the Coil master or Geekvape toolkit or their clones.
m.fasttech.com/p/7680800 this is include what you need minus the ohm reader but you can use (as I do) your mod for ohm check and glow your coil.

For wicking I use Cotton bacon v2 it comes in a smallish bag but it last forever www.stealthvape.co.uk/wick/COTTON-BACON

Have fun with your rebuilding

get the kit with an ohm meter, when you are starting off check builds off your mod.

I know that the mods have short circuit safety and read the resistance fairly accurately unlike some did/could/would in the past but it is good practice to make sure that everything is good before you screw it on.

When you are confident and can almost build with your eyes closed the meter will still be there to fall back on if something is not quite right

This might give you some clues:

This is slightly better for a couple extra quid if you want off of amazon.
But youll still need wire and cotton.
 If you want an easy MTL RTA cant get any easier than the doggy style

Cannot improve on the advice given by Get Off My Cloud and others on this thread.
For me it wasn't the coil building but the wicking. No matter how good your coil you have to wick it right or dry hits/flood.
I would go with a single coil rda/tank at first. You Tube is your friend.

This looks like a nice easy to wick single coil tank, just cut the cotton to length and tuck it down into the deck like a dripper so it's covering the juice holes.
Only £12.64 too, might order myself one next pay day.

Ordered this today is it worth me getting a coil pack so I can test out what works for me fist without going to all the bother of building a bunch or crap coils that will get chucked ? I saw this and thought it might be worth a butchers FIBOUND 48 Pre-made Coils Selection of 8 Styles Clapton - 6 of Each Style Coil Comes,Perfect for RDA, RBA, RDTA www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B071FYF6JV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_embQzbJKF3FJ7

deffo a good idea if you dont fancy building.
They are claptons so will need some watts behind them, worth checking your mod will be upto powering them.

Just for now until I get a bit more experience behind me I have a  a Smoant Charon 218w on order so hopefully that'll  do it
