Rip is good, but a little crazy at times. If you go to youtube, type in the type of of RDA you have, or are thinking of buying, or just RDA RTA to get a list of videos. You can type in coil rebuilding, etc. It's not all that hard, but you'll wish you had an extra hand. Some are trickier to build on than others.

Basically you need
Kanthal I was told to start at 30 gauge.
something to wrap it around, (screw driver, drill bit etc) or a coil jig
fingernail clippers or scissors
something for wick, most are using organic cotton, cellulose cotton (aka rayon) or Koh Gen Doh (KGD Cotton)
coil toy or other coil calculator Coil Toy - Online calculator for e-cigarette resistance coil building
screwdriver or tool to loosen screws on device
Maybe a lighter or butane torch to torch the kanthal, but not everyone does this.
Ohm meter (or use built in one on a mod)

Not sure if I left anything out. Sounds a lot more complicated than it is. Youtube is definitely your friend. Definitely start with a regulated mod, not a mech mod til you get to know what you're doing. You can really mess up big time with a mech mod if you don't know a lot about battery safety.

For sure. Batteries can explode if you do things wrong on something with no protection

I am brand new to building coils, so tons of folks know a lot more about it than me. Definitely do your research. I got my kanthal and cotton as well as a screwdriver to wrap on at Amazon. I wouldn't get batteries and stuff like that there, though some do, but it was pretty cheap for the kanthal and cotton.

the coil calculator will tell you how many wraps you need based on the interior diameter of the coil and what gauge you are using. the more kanthal you use, the longer it will take to heat up.

Do you have something to build on already......or what are you looking to get?

thank you for everyone again, I've watched 30+ videos, I think I have an basic idea of what I'm doing. I want to get the Magma RDA

Definitely make sure you check your ohms before and after you wick. Sometimes wicking can throw your coil off a bit.

good luck!!

The youtube videos made by Super_X_Drifter have helped me considerably.

YouTube plus check out Baditute's blogs. Do your research before you get into building coils. There is a lot of info out there. Ohms law is a must.

I suggest searching 'Vaping with Vic'
His most recent post was yesterday and building a single 28g coil on a Kanger SubTank.
He makes it very simplistic and got me through my very 1st build last night.
With 6 wraps I am sitting at 1.3 ohms
