1st build, help please

[john1211]

I just bought a Kanger subohm mini and want to try and build my first coil. I currently use a mini nautilus, 1.8 ohm bvc at 11watts. I would like to end up at around the same parameters.
My questions are:
What type of wire to use
What type of cotton to use
What tools will I need
What recommended vendor to buy supplies from

Thanks
John

I'd try some 28 or 30 awg Stainless. Building at 1ohm or so..... maybe try kanthal or nichrome same gauges at around 1.5 to 2 ohm.
Problems going to come when you realize that atty can't be built to replicate a nautilus type vape....

You should start off by watching a few You Tube videos of people making coils so you get an idea of what's involved. Watch as many as possible til you feel confident giving it a try yourself

hello John - {lets do this}
here's all of what you will need for a successful attempt at making your own coils
looks overwhelming at first, but it is all simple stuff and easy to use - not sure where you are ABOUT SPENDING BUT
it would be the best to get all this at once from same vendor to get started (MVS is a great outfit) total is about $43 bucks

- The Essentials for Rebuilding Coils, Wick, Cotton, Wire & Tools

here's a great site to calc what you want to build (have you heard of them?)
- Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators

as you get more skilled I'd suggest to take your game to the next level by improving your gear
get 100% Rayon from Sally's // then USA made wire from TEMCo

- Amazon.com : Graham Cellucotton Beauty Coil 100% Rayon Fibers 40 ft #44130 : Beauty
- TEMCo Stainless Steel Wire 316L Non-Resistance AWG TEMCo Industrial

BE SURE to keep us informed of your progress & be sure to ask if ya need to
