Have a look at Discount Vapers. They have a pretty good selection. I would recommend the A7, Phoenix Clone or IGO-L. You can't go wrong with any of them.
Spendy but worth it, Provari with the DID. The provaris power management features make setting up the DID as easy as possible. I would think the Provari would make most rebuildable attys easier to set up, but this is an assumption. Good Luck!
The Provari is definitely a quality mod, but anything with a resistance check function will make working with RBAs easier. The VAMO, Vmax, Zmax, etc... If you're using an rba on something without a resistance check feature use a multimeter to check the resistance of the coil before putting power through it.
Edd find a Penelope by GG.. IMEO the maker has his own sub forum down below... U want to start with something that is easy and just plain works find you a Penelope... Almost too easy.. Usually did them in the classifieds.. You will be glad you did..
Howdy,
I'm gonna ask the question the others didn't. Are you looking for an RBA that mirrors dripping....or one with a tank, such as the AGA-T, over at DV? Jay bird did mention the DID, but as a beginner unless you got money to spend without worrying about it, maybe a clone such as the Cobra, or the AGA-T, or the Griffin. All are available at DVs at pretty reasonable prices (and are available at other sites under other names, watch for deals over at Vaper Joes blog) all are good to experiment with. Some come with extra wire and mesh, mistakes don't cost you an arm and a leg and if you do what Zerrrro said and check it before using it, the only real loss would be some time spent.
How do I know this stuff....I'm a beginner too. Got a couple of DUDS (nickname for the DID clone, DVs Griffin), got a Chobra for Christmas (Chobra=Cobra), and have two AGA-T on their way.
I followed this video for the most part to setup my DUD. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...r-systems/358971-i-bought-two-cov-gen-1s.html
I did oxidize the entire wrap and cut the bottom at a slight angle so the mesh opening in the bottom won't plug up. So far, so good. Still got some experimenting to do, but I'm happy with my start...as you can tell by my other purchases, lol. Watch as many videos as you can stand to watch.
Good luck, no matter which form of rebuildable you choose....wick or mesh, drip or tank.....y'all have fun and let us know what's up once you get started. Need any help, just post.....a ain't life grand?
Luck,
Big Mac

Is the ground screw on your Chobra kinda... crappy? Either I torqued it down too much and stripped the threads or it was kinda iffy to begin with. It still does the job, but I'm scared to touch it now.
It's a bit on the iffy side, so is the fill screw, but I'm still awfully gentle with all of mine cause they're all so new and purty and shiny, lol. I took the screw completely out and restarted it and was gentle and it seems to be alright....At least for the time being. Only time will tell. I guess if they end up stripping out they could be threaded again..maybe. You should see that puppy on the SS ZMax...looks nice. A little work and it'll be fantastic.
Good luck with the threading Zerrrro, let me know of anything like quirks or good/bad things to do with the cobra..since I just got mine, haven't messed with it much yet.

I use 500 mesh rolled super tight with no hole in the middle, and fill screw out otherwise I find it wicks a little slow. Currently have a 1.6 ohm coil at 3.6v on my Provari. Other than the screw holes being a little iffy, I really like it. Not a bad genny for the price.
I'm gonna break from the pack and say that for a beginner, go with the vision eternity.
No screws to mess around with, no wire or mesh to oxidize, and you get a few prebuilt coil and wick assemblies to work with while you figure out your own.
Not to mention it looks real nice, vapes like a dream, and is quite reasonable in price to boot. I'm a big fan of price/performance ratio bias. I'll pay 75% to get 95% every time. I generally haven't got the bankroll to just say 'to heck with it' and buy 100% at $100%, but hate to death being stuck at 50% for $60%.

The AGA-T, I just ordered two, so I think it might be a good choice also...god I hope so anyways..lol. Take a look at a few things that have been done to them.... http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/cosmetic-mods/351536-de-knurled-polished-aga-t.html
So very cool.

Those look great compared to the original finish.The current AGA-T is being discontinued and there is a new version that is supposed to hit around mid January. Based on what I'm seeing on the couple of sites I frequent, it fixes the nuances of the current version. Then again, these fixes may just open a whole new can of worms...
I learned to rebuild on a Vivi Nova, they are super easy to rebuild and I am a huge fan of them so that's my suggestion
+++1=10 on the DID. I'm still using the same one I bought from MMVapors 7 months ago as good as the day I got it (high quality, amazing customer service...). Best part about buying a real one is that if you try them and don't like them you can get full price on the Classies for them
