Help! Don't know what to order...

[Zelesnikar4789w]

Hi, I need a little help. I just ordered a Kraken Clone on impulse and I have no idea what I need to order...I'm thinking its a gennie, right? So I need mesh and wire, I think. Any ideas on what sizes I need? I also just ordered a russian 91 but one of the insulators was missing so I'm waiting on the mail for the replacements..grrr..I really wanted to play with it today.

On a positive the provari arrived and is more awesome than I already knew it would be!

You seem to have it all. Maybe get some paper towels? (I am teasing) enjoy.

I have not tried rba's yet so I don't know, I'll just say gratz on your new toys.

Digital Multimeter?

The provari will measure the ohms and error out if I screw up...I really need to know what size mesh and wire I need to order. 500grit or 400 on the mesh? 28 or 30 on the wire? Is there anything else I need? Tired of sending in 5 orders...trying to do it in one this time

A. Multimeter <- see my sig line below

B. Read eHuman's blog on building a "genesis style" rba

C. Conventional methods for wicks and coils consist of Kanthal coil (on sale VJ's) or NiChrome wire, 400/500 stainless steel mesh for the wick, there are other methods/products out now that offer better wicking but learn the old way before you move on to the new hotness

D. youtube/google is your friend

E. Patience to learn...there is a learning curve, but OH MY the flavor and vape from those types of RBA's...how do I know I won a rig from FB, have NEVER built a RBA (it's an AGA-T2 (that are on blowout as well VJ's)...30 minutes of reading...15 minutes of fiddling..and I got this

hits like a freight train at 8 watts! [I redid the coil by taking two 32gauge strips, twisting them like aircraft safety wire by catching them in a cordless drill chuck and spinning it...1.9Ω from 3Ω, with thicker gauge wire resistance can be lower but cant fire low/sub ohm coils on a kick (I don't need to sub ohm..vaping is just fine with middle of the road resistance coils and a kick or APV...but that's just me)]

Good Luck! and Vape ON!!!

Christmas is around the corner ... a polished ss provari would be a nice gift to yourself. Perfectly justifiable ... and everyone should have a backup for emergencies. LOL!
