So basically can any one give me a list of what I will require and a good place to buy from.

Want to give a dripper a try but still pretty new to all this! I currently have a cool fire 2 but have a Eleaf I just 2 on the way from gear best. Will these devices work with a dripper

Thanks in advance
 
You will need some wire, wick, a rebuildable atty and something to measure the resistance of your coil. There are plenty of places online where you can pick up everything you need. If you don't mind waiting a couple of weeks use fasttech.

Your devices will work with drippers however you will need to check what the minimum resistance that they will fire down to.

I would advise you to go with 0.32mm kanthal to start off with as it is an easy size to work with. I use muji cotton in my rebuildables. Choose a RDA to start with as its easier than a tank to fiddle with if you need to IMO. Pick one that has an option to use single or dual coils so you can practice using single coils but it will give you scope to start messing with duals at a later date.

I'm a bit out of touch with the latest and greatest drippers tbh, but I'm sure someone will be along to advise you which one to go for.
 
All of above is good advice. Little extras I would add which will make life alot easier are:
Wire cutters
Drill bits. 2mm, 2.5mm and 3mm
Sharp scissors to cut cotton
26 gauge, 28 gauge kanthal.
Ohm reader
Optional kuro coil winder
 
Thanks for the info going to look into where I can't get it all and order it up!

The very lovely stealthvape for the wire and Muji!! :D
0.4mm is easier to work with if you are starting off, wish I'd known that a while back. Being fumblethumbed and fannying about with 0.3mm was not good for the 'no swearing' day or stress levels.:17:
Search ebay for jewelry making kit to find decent wire cutters and scissors for cotton cutting.

An ohm reader, erm, look around. There are a couple of good ones on ebay but check the reviews!

Search on here for 1st dripper advice then take your pick.
Poundshop should do jewelry screwdrivers to use for coil building, and do check out some youtube videos for guidance/tutorials.

And if in doubt, ask away on here!
 
Well I bought all the stuff mentioned above and my first dual coil came out at .4 and the flavour is amazing

That's pretty good for a first build, There are lot's of videos on various styles of coil and different materials so there's plenty of scope for experimenting, If you do get into dripping in a more serious fashion then you might want to invest in something with a little more power, there are lots of devices out there that will suit at a budget for more or less everyone. That said, if this is giving you what you want then just sit back and enjoy it...:D

My opinion on the X Cube poo is that it's - well, poo...:D If you're just going to use it as a Kanthal only device then it's OK, but for everything else It's a bit shoddy, it's also heavy and rather low build quality - but it is cheap. A lot of it depends on what you want to spend and what you want from your device. For £45 you can pick up an IPV D2 that will give you 75w plus a reasonable temperature control system, A Sigelli 75w will set you back about £50 - These are UK Vendor prices, if you're prepared to wait a while you can get these from Fasttech in China, The IPV D2 weighs in at $43.06 (£28.11) and the Sig 75 at $58.39 (£38.12)

The Mutation X v4 is a well proved dripper and you can get one for £23.99 from Angelfire mods, Same for the Mutation XS Mini. Derringers or their clones are good too, you are better to avoid the likes of the Velocity unless you have something with plenty of power - mine needs 70 w or so to get the best out of it...

No problem I will read up on them and see what looks good! Like I have said previously pretty new to all this so still learning as I go
