I am totally new to vaping, my only knowledge is from reading these and other websites, and watching YouTubes. I am a smoker, and had tried a refillable pod type vape for a week, with a couple of juices I really like. These are Black Flag Risen Enriched and Castle Long.

That enticed me into going the box mod/tank route for MTL vaping. I ordered a Think Tank Finder DNA75C, and probably crazily - 5 Siren V2 MTL tanks. I wanted to be able to change vape flavors throughout the day without changing cotton or cross-contaminating flavors.

I also ordered coil wire, cotton, a tool kit, etc. I've already been told that my wire choice was not the wisest, so I am learning before it even arrived :) . Ah well, That means I will have plenty of wire on hand, at this point consisting of:

26 and 28 gauge SS316L
Vandy Vape Superfine MTL Specialty Wire Ni80 Fused Clapton - 3.5 Ohms per foot, 30ga x 2(=)+38ga
Vandy Vape Superfine MTL Specialty Wire Spool SS Fused Clapton Wire - 2.37 Ohms per Foot, 30ga x 2(=)+38ga

My first impressions of this forum are that it has some highly knowledgeable and friendly folk. I look forward to learning here, and if and when I am able, giving back.

Welcome aboard. One of the reasons I came back was because of the people. Even when you are not actively participating with producing threads you are giving back by reading and passing on the knowledge with shares. This is by far one of the most if not the most detailed repository of vaping resources available. :thumbs:

Wooohooo.. The main box of goodies came today! If only I could speed up those VTC6's that I just popped in the charger. At least it provides me some time to play around with coils.

Welcome Celt. You should be fine learning with the 26g and then the 28g. Leave the superfine until you've practiced a bit. You will be fine with a little help from your new extended family.
Sound right to me, I'll use the 26g for sure to practice.
Way to jump into the deep end. Welcome to the forum.
Hopefully I won't drown :)

Indeed, I really do think this seems like an invaluable resource, and it is always the interactions with great people that make it all worthwhile.
Impressive beginning. I bow to one with such impulsiveness.

:headbang:
Vapemesilly, :thumb: Yes I am usually much more methodical, but hey it was my Birthday, I could not not control my finger, it was involuntarily clicking on buy buttons!

Thanks to all for the kind welcomes.

Hi Welcome to ECF. Congrats on jumping in at the deep end.

The good news on the Siren V2, it's a pretty easy build to start out on. The bad news on the Siren V2, people tend to love it or hate it. Of course, you will have no reference point, so I'm going to assume that you will love it, like I do. I own three of them.

So if you hate it, you know who to offload those to, LOL (I am totally kidding, I think you will enjoy the tank).

I'm assuming you've got steam-engine.org down and all that, but if you don't this is a great place to look for information as well..... Rebuildable Atomizer Systems

Welcome and hope you have fun getting started! :)

Well Anna, I certainly hope I love them too. While waiting (still waiting) for the batteries to charge, I cheated and used one of the included coils to do my first build. Hope fully I positioned everything correctly, and did the wicking right. I did have fun. ;)

Do you happen to know what the coils that were included are? I am guessing Kanthal, but just a guess. I did test it and it was exactly 1 Ohm.

Welcome and glad you joined.
Might want to use a magnet, I believe Kanthal A1 (FeCrAl alloy) should be somewhat magnetic. Good luck with vaping.
