1.6ohm Coil Question

I MTL but if you DL then buy 7.2mg nicotine in a ratio of 70vg/30pg to add.Most DL vape around 0.30mg of nicotine.You could cough up a lung higher than 0.6mg.
If you DL then just buy a 10ml bottle of nic and add it all for 0.3mg nicotine strength.

You got your mg and percentages in a twist lol
 
@Frogprince yeah I prefer MTL, to be honest I haven't tried direct to lung and having just come out of hospital and having pneumonia I try to take it steady until I know my lungs are sorted, also have copd down to the years I had been smoking RYO
 
I recently purchased this 28awg kanthal wire for mtl coils (will probably still be using it in 10 years time lol), 5 or 6 wraps around a 2.5mm jig and you have a coil around 1-1.2 ohm.

www.amazon.co.uk/Kanthal-A1-Type-Resistance-Wire/dp/B00WZAZHOC/ref=sr_1_6?crid=3CMN9BNO2B2BH&keywords=kanthal+28awg&qid=1585250349&sprefix=28+awg+k%2Caps%2C191&sr=8-6

for cotton I use muji or labo cotton. Theres enough in this bag for a couple of years. (It takes awile to be delivered so need a small pack from uk while you wait) price for cotton labo seems to jave doubled recently on amazon, must have cottoned on to what where buying it for.

Theres some cheap coil toolkits here

as for a tank hmm better asking in the mtl section for a good 1st rta or rda depending wich you want.

Youtube is your friend for builds n wicking to help decide wich tank

there was a tank released a couple months ago that takes nautilus coils and has a build deck aswell. Might be a good option if someone knows the name. Kizoku or kirin? Something like that.

Mtl is definitely a wise choice after pneumonia.
I'd try to stick to juices with a 50/50 vg/pg level or even slightly higher in pg is no problem. There's some evidence that vaping with juices containing a good level of pg can be helpful for lung issue's, my surgery has been recommending vaping with juice containing at least 50% pg for its smokers with copd. No results published as yet but it's been running the recommendations for a number of years now so positive results seem to be consistent.
Coil building is simple. I used various stock coil tanks back when I started, ending up with the excellent original nautilus. Still fantastic.
When your ready, put a post on the wanted thread of the classes here.
That way, I'm sure someone will make you a couple of coils and cut some wicks plus include a little wire and cotton for you to get started with.

My own recommendations for first mtl rta's are.
The kayfun lite (expensive but great clones are available for £20 )
The ephro true (again around £20)
The vandy vape berserker mini v1 or 1.5 (can be found on sale from around £15)
Everyone will have a recommendation but these are easy to coil and use plus work well.
A standard mtl coil is made usually from kanthal or nichrome and would be 26/27 or 28 awg. As said, wire is a couple of pound a reel that will last year's.

Seven wraps around a 2.5 ml screwdriver or drill bit and the jobs done.
Cotton can be flashy or simple muji cotton pads (my choice) cost.a few pound for a huge pack to last all year or more.

Plenty of help here in the mtl section.
 
I only mentioned % in the nicotine ratio.You can buy nicotine in different ratios.I buy 7.2mg in 100%PG so when i add 10ml of 7.2mg nic i end up with 50/50 of 1.2mg.
You mean 7.2% or 72mg/ml, and 1.2% or 12mg/ml.

Most ppl DTL at 0.3% or 3mg/ml.

I always thought that 7.2 was just another way of saying 72.
TPD compliant 1.8mg x 4 =7.2mg.
So 10ml of 7.2 is how i roll.
