I just got the VCT diy kit. I couldn't find a good tutorial, but maybe I'm searching incorrectly. Anyone have any experience with this one, tips or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

In my experience those little rebuildable heads are really frustrating and don't work very well once done properly.
A drop in tank can be just that and an RTA can offer a prebuilt solution but I've never seen a subohm tank with a drop in rebuild deck that worked well.
When I started it was using the RBA head on my crown tank and I hated it. Always either too tight or leaking and when I made it work it was a horrible vape. Then I got an RTA and nailed it first time.
Usually when you can't find info on something it's because there was no demand for the product or the tutorial.
If it came with something pre-installed I'd try to replicate that.
It should at minimum have instructions with a picture of what it should look like.

Pull the center pin and the grommet out. Pull the old coils out. Drop the new coils in, and fold the legs from one side back. Install the grommet over the two legs still pointing out. Install the center pin. Trim all legs very flush. Position coils. Wick. Prime. Install. Vape.
Why are the coils that come with this black on the coil end? And are these the only kind that would work?
NR-R-NR is the common term.
The coil is welded to non resistance wire legs (shiny parts).
It appears so, but I don't have one to confirm.
Replacements can be purchased in the US or from China.
Have fun

thanks! Sorry if this is obvious, but do I need to buy the NR wire for them to work (when I run out of the ones that came with the coils)? Or will regular kanthal work?
While it appears that the wire holes are isolated, my concern with using only resistance wire (Kanthal for example) is that the white insulators might not hold up to the extra heat. Circled hmm...0.4Ω

Dual coils at 1.5Ω each will give a final of 0.75Ω, However the gauge of the wire linked is very thin (32AWG) and may not fair well with rewicking and coil maintenance.
I might keep poking about for some thicker wire/lower resistance (at least 28) and/or other coil materials options.
