You shouldn't mind dripping because it tastes great and allows switching juices quickly. I'm new to building as well but it's fun and with all the info here and youtube videos... it's relatively easy. Definitely gets better with practice! Check out Rip Trippers youtube channel if you haven't already. He does it all in regards to coil builds.

I have an Igo-L and an Igo-W and really like them both. Great way to get into dripping and practicing builds. :)

Yeah.. Been a lot of practice. . Not to sure if I want to get in to anything under .3ohms hahaha but my local B&M eastcoastvape is quite helpful when I have questions on anything :)

Yep, those guys are all great. I like Pbusardos buddy too... VapingGreek I think his name is(hello, my fellow vapers). I started at first with IndoorSmokers. He is just funny(and kind of creepy) but good videos to watch. I have advanced further than what his specialty seems to be though which is cheap entry level mods and clearomizers. He's a big help to newbies though and does a lot of giveaways.

i just built my first coil for my protank minis/evod and nailed it at 1.8 ohms. too bad i didn't boil my cotton a few days ago as it's sitting and drying.

Wow! My first coil was like 9... it was shocking. But I built it into the Russian. . And tested it on my vamo and burnt my circuit board... but I am significantly better than that now haha I wanna try one in an evod !

There's a video on YouTube from a guy showing how to wrap using a machine screw so you get the proper # of winds, proper spacing, etc. Check it out...will help you a lot. Helped me quite a bit. The threads of the machine screw help keep the spacing proper w/the Kenthal wire and I can easily count the # of wraps for the proper ohm rating I'm looking for. I'll see if I can find the vid.
