Where to start

[Daffs]

With ref to a previous thread on tanks I was referred to this section. I have never tried this rebuildable mullarkey and this is probably down to a lack of confidence. So...can anyone point me in the right direction with regard to attys/tanks etc. Where to start and what would be an ideal starting point. I am looking for a tank/atty system that will look pretty cool on SVD but also will vape well. I am going to look through some videos etc but am unsure of where to start. Just need something to cut m teeth on and get me started.

Thanks

Daffs a nice starter rebuildable is the RSST

There are lots of you tube videos on the build and how it works

Thanks will check it out, just want to get started and take it from there.

I have decided to go down the dripping route, as I am mixing my own juices so feel that this makes sense at the moment. I am planning an IGO L or perhaps the baby Octopus.

I am a little confused and have some ( possibly ) silly questions but I don't want to damage anything if you get m drift.

I am using Innokin SVD so what would be a safe resistance with dvice using either 18350 or 18650 batteries?
I assume the lower the number gauge of wire = lower resistance and less coils = less resistance?
Would I need a resistance meter or can I simply use the in built meter on the svd?
What gauge wire and wick would be good start point until I get used to everything?

Any other suggestions/advice/info would be appreciated, apologies for the naivety but I want to ensure I have everything clear in my mind before I start....I am sure I will have more questions at some point.

Thanks

Safe starting point for resistance is no lower than 1.2 ohms,that works out at approx 4 wraps of 0.2 kanthal round a 2 mm drill bit.

Right, The SVD wont fire below 1.3 Ohms, There's a wire gauge chart in the Wiki, but Higher=thicker=lower resistance, ).25 to 0.30 gives you lots of coils to play with. I use cotton wool for wick, it's dirt cheap so you can cock up & rewick at will. I've just recoiled and wicked my Kayfun 3.1 with a 2.5mm dia compact coil (purists will say anything over 1.5 isnt a micrcoil) and cotton wool. works great - same setup will work great in a dripper too...

Brilliant, have ordered IGO L and a variety of Kanthal thicknesses along with some silica wick to get me started, I think I have my head round it all. I just wanted to be sure. I was going to aim for say 5cm of .25 for around 5-6 wraps to give me 1.5 ohms does that sound about right?

8 turns of .30 around the 2.5mm mandrel I use gave me 1.6 5 turns of .25 should give 1.6 to 1.8...

Cheers mate, much appreciated.
