I agree that the rebuildable stuff looks a little scary. So I cheat by buying pre-wrapped coils.

I agree that it looks scary but I just made my first micro coil the other day and it is SUPER easy!!! I read some how to's and watched some youtube videos, bought some wire and cotton balls and whipped one up in 15 minutes! The only thing you really need (besides wire and wick) is a way to check the Ohm's, for me it was a new MVP2!
To the OP - Good choice getting a dripping 510 atty, simple and easy. When you are ready to try a RDA, I have a smok Mini RDA (squid) and it works great. It comes prewicked so you can use it right out of the package and when you're ready to try making your own coils, it's a small but great platform to practice on!
