Dripper Newb

[holtyh91]

Hey

I have looked through various threads but thought I'd start my own, so apologies if this is a repeat of else where.

I want to start building my own coils and am eager to purchase my first dripper, but don't know where to start!

I've never built any coils and am a complete newbie, and I've read so many different reviews on drippers!

Does anyone have any advice on a good dripper and coil building kit (if that exists ?) For a complete newbie?

I'm using a wismec rx200 and am aiming for max flavour and cloud!

Thanks

You'll get 101 dripper recommendations, so your best bet is to go onto FastTech and get a few decent clones and see how you go.
A Velocity should be fine to kick off with for your requirements.

Get onto youtube and look up Grimm Greens coil build videos. Watch and learn.
Take a swatch at Stealthvape, load up on 0.4mm and 0.5mm Kanthal - more than 10m!! - and just get practicing wrapping wire.
A coil winder is useful, but don't neglect just using a wee 3mm screwdriver to make coils with.

Steam Engine is your friend.
A decent ohm reader is a damned good idea. Y'can get one for about £10. Don't rely on your mod for ohm readings, they can be as reliable as political promises.

Keep practicing wrapping wire around a metal cylinder!!!

Enjoy it, be patient and post pix of results!

People like hexohm and twisted messes a lot, I've got my twisted messes 2 on my rx and it looks quite slick

I've had the troll and tm2 and only been building for a couple of months, what I recommend is finding a nice cheap clone with generous deck size and 4 post holes in my experience. Getting the coils rolled perfectly and then placing them in without shorting them was something I used to struggle with on a small rda

Thanks for you're detailed advice! I took you're advice, ordered a velocity V2 and ohm reader from fasttech and some coil from stealthvape.


So now I'll be watching grimm greens on YouTube eagerly awaiting my new toy!

Thanks again.

That looks great!

As I said above, just ordered a velocity v2 on fast tech so will eagerly await it's arrival.

Do you think that's a good starting dripper? There were so many different models I didn't know what to go for!

Yeah the velocity is a great dripper from what I've heard off people I've built on it and it's dead simple and easy nice post holes, defo a good starter rda.

I MUST SAY don't "eagerly" await from fast tech, fasttech and gearbest sell the cheapest gear but they take a while to come depending on where you live.

Nevertheless it's a great choice, show me your first build!!

Velocity came today!

I'm not getting much flavour though [emoji20]

I put the premade coils that came with it (reading .26ohms) think I may have put too much cotton though?

Not sure how this would mean a lack of flavour but thought it worth mentioning...

Is there an idea wattage range to use it on?

I should add that I'm using a darkstar oneshot vanilla Custard mixed at 80/20 vg/pg and 6mg nic. Tastes good in my tank

Unscrew the premades and build your own. Premades coils are mass produced with shit wire, only premade coils I'd buy is from @cloudcuckoo or SMUTons from @Dripworx made by @smut
