Good RDA for beginninger

[Myah_June2014]

I REALLLLLY want to learn how to build. I DYI & ordered regular 510 attys & taste is better then my tanks but I catch some of the old juice no matter what I do. I LOVE dripping & want to use it for DYI & all day use so something that is good taste, switching out cotton easily. I have a vision spinner 2 & MVP2. I was looking on u tube & when looking up on ebay there were so many! Igo 6,7, L, M alot lol. What's the difference & what would u recommend for me just starting w/ the 2 devices I have?
I wanna get a Nemesis or something like it down the line but wanna know I can rebuild 1st, I know I can but better safe then sorry before ordering expensive gear! Ty all

Oh yeah, if u do recommend the igo style, a guy will drill them. I don't like super airy but not tight w/ the tight air. I believe he does 5/64 & 3/32. Which do most prefer [I obviously know everyone is different]

I really like igos. W is the original three post. W5 is a nicer bigger version of the same thing. Igo t is smaller which is what I love for my MVP. Plus its titanium and looks beautiful when heat treated.

I just seen a mod that was heat treated with blues & purples. My favorite colors lol. Looked so goood! Is it hard to do? Found a guy on ebay but he won't get back to me w/ what clone or where he got it so he is out. Is it hard to do heat treatment? Don't wanna get off subject lol.

No easy. Spun it on a drill for consistency and used a normal blue propane torch

That's sweet! Do u know if blue/dark purple colors take longer then your top colors? I will probably practice 1st! Offered a guy on FB more than double for his torched nemesis, wouldn't reply lol. I tried!

I have an igo-l...really easy to build a single coil. I have mostly used carto tanks and evods so I find the standard air hole and draw to be fine. I think it was a good choice for my first dripper...and pretty cheap to boot.

I have several high end RDAs, and along with those, I have an Igo W5 which I still use often. For a first dual coil dripper, it would be tough to beat.

I'd go with an IGO-W for my first RDA..very easy to build on and to use.

IGO-L for flavor testing. Single coil is so much easier than dual coils (Gotta make a change to your juice? 1 wick to change out rather than 2) for this purpose. Single coils are also a bit easier to learn on, since with dual coils you gotta worry about getting both glowing evenly (same legs, same wraps, if using microcoils gotta have them both squeezed to same tightness, etc.). Oh, and since you're using regulated mods... Single coils are a lot easier to get into that 1.5Ω area without taking forever to heat up.

IGO-W for a good beginner dual-coil setup.

Magma/Origen V2 (there are good clones out there) if you want one that you won't wanna upgrade for a while, if ever.

Whatever you do, I highly recommend you do NOT get the trident. The way you capture the leads on it is a PITA, I traded a protank for one and I can see why the person was wanting to get rid of it

Also, I would highly recommend investing in a drill and some drill bits. Even if you don't wanna drill your own air holes out (Which btw, is really easy to do on the IGO-W/IGO-L and most others with side-cap airholes) the drill bits will be nice for wrapping coils and the drill for if you ever wanna try any sort of twisted wire coil.

My dad is a mechanic so luckily he has many different drills, bits & torches. How did you learn what size drill bit to use & how many wraps to build certain ohms? Using my MVP2 until I get a mod I obviously can't build really low. Sticking w/ single coil may be the way to go for all the reasons u mentioned.

Ty everyone, really appreciate all the advice

I started on an IGO-W many months ago. Only recently got back into RDA's but have to say, now that I know what I'm doing? I find a tank hard to go back to. IGO-W's are great albeit a bit small to work in, but I have fairly large hands so there's that. I drilled my W out to I think 1/8", it breathes really well Just start small, you can always go bigger if you need but it's much more difficult to go backwards if you're drilling out airflow.
