First rta

[SQToyota]

looking for a rta, only have a uwell crown and im having some leaking issues so i want to trh something different and build my own coils. Was going to get the geek ape griffin but then i saw the vaporesso gemini. Any recommendations?

Are you more comfortable with direct lung inhale or are you mouth to lung?

Asking because if you are just learning to wrap coils, I would recommend you find the atty with a biggish deck to get comfortable with the process!

Get an ohm reader and look at steam engine for a guide to get your coils in the safe zone for the batteries and device you are using!!

I have a cheap ohm reader i never used and i prefer direct to lung inhale

Depending on your style of vaping:

Mtl: I sudjest a kayfun, there are tons of clones(also with varying airflow) and aftermarket tank accessories to change the look ect.

Direct lung: I'd sudjest a serpent rta, similar to the kayfun as far as building, but has more airflow. Does not have "accessories" to customize.

Serpent was on my list as well but still liking the gemini, too many choices!

If you are going to start wrapping your own coils it would be a good thing to start using it or check your builds on a device that has one!

If you can live with a more restrictive draw, I would definitely suggest a kayfun to get your feet wet! I don't wrap crazy coils so when I first decided to try building, the kayfun was my first. It's very basic and will allow you to try before you buy something that might require a little more tinkering to get right!!

Yeah i use a rx200 so i can use both to check ohms

Perfect!

If you enjoy dual coil the griffin is spectacular. Takes some practice getting wicking right but it will do you right.

Since you are new to building, and like lung hits, I would suggest a tank that has the velocity deck. Easiest deck to build on and experiment with. These days, there are a lot of them out there. The Aromamizer, Supreme, Griffin, and Cthulhu v2 are a few worth mentioning.

I was thinking velocity deck as well

The ehpro bachelor is one of the easier to build (single coil) but has great output, The steam crave aromamizer is a really good dual coil that doesn't leak and has the velocity deck. The griffen and the crius are great but not quite as easy. There not hard, just not as easy as the others.

I just bought my first rta recently, which has now really gotten me into coil making. I had dabbled a bit before with the rba of my delta II. I bought the zephyrus v2 though about a month ago an have been using it strictly as an rta, haven't even tested a stock coil. I am absolutely in love with it. It was easy to build on as well.

For the preferences you've already listed, the griffin sounds like a good choice. I also just saw a review today for an rta called the "mutank" I believe. It has an option to get a velocity deck for it, for only 8 dollars added on. Both tanks looks nice.

I'd also highly recommending buying a coilmaster kit as well. I think the version 3 is the latest one. I bought mine from myvaporstore for 35 bucks. IMO it is a really great investment. It comes with everything you need to build. Wire cutters, needle nose pliers, flathead and Phillips screwdrivers, ceramic tweezers, normal tweezers, scissors, 10 feet of kanthal and an ohm reader. And of course it comes with the awesome coilmaster jig for wrapping coils. It makes perfect coils very simply. If your new to building and don't already have most of these tools then id pick one up. I think ceramic tweezers bought by themselves run 15 bucks.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Youtube convinced me to pre order the vaporesso gemini, 30$ isnt bad to try it out. Im sure i can handle the building
