I've decided to go with a provari and an igo-w for my new setup. I'm new to building coils and dripping so could someone give me some advice on what size kanthal to use and what wicking? Also can someone reccomend a website where I can order all my new stuff at once (a supplier that carries everything I'm looking for). Thanks guys!

as far as wicks, I use sterile cotton balls from CVS...3 bucks for a many year supply...im still using the same cotton ball as when I started, weeks ago...so it lasts a very long time, depending on how much you vape (I have been srsly chain vaping a ton lately).

I use a very small amount, its two rice grains worth if that, and roll it until its as thin as a pin, thread it thru my coil and then prime it with juice.

as far as Kanthal, it depends on what kind of coil you want to do, I got some 30 gauge but maybe should have gotten 32.

The Diamond Coil - YouTube

this is a newly found video from RiP Trippers about making the Diamond Coil and I really liked it...but I am using Kanger mini protank IIs and it probably would not fit in my head, its pretty large - I am also using a Kanger EVOD VV so I dont have a way to test my coils resistance either....sooo...I have to wait till I get an RDA + some nice mod.

but I really liked the video.

I really liked the Diamond coil video too. I am seriously considering an RBA now! Pretty sure it would be dam near impossible to fit that coil into the PT 2 housing I currently have. As for rebuilding the PT 2 coils, I am using 32g Kanthal and it works beautifully.
