Many types of wire. Most folks start with kanthal but you can only use it in wattage mode with whatever mod you get. Lots of threads here on how to start out building coils.
I didn't really want to squonk. I wanted to be able to use a tank to vape full pg, bc I can't tolerate any pg.
Wow so many of you have responded I have to read twice to make sure I didn't miss something. That's a good problem to have.
Building your own coils and wicking may seem like rocket science to you now but if you spend some time reading and get the right equipment which actually does not take a huge cash outlay. Learn what you need to do to stay safe. A little practice... You will be able to make a coil, wick it and be vaping in half the time it would take you to drive to the store to buy one. Oh, and about 1/32 the cost.
You're going to have trouble wicking full VG. It just doesn't wick well. You might get a tank to do it if you wick rayon and it has big wick ports. Something along the lines of a Serpent SMM, or a Boreas V1 (the Boreas V2s are now out but I don't have one yet; still, I expect they'll work as well). Squonking is recommended for really thick juices as the system is much simpler; it is essentially a RDA with a hole in the bottom. You vape the juice on the cottons and, when you run out, you use finger pressure to shoot more juice up onto the cottons. The more complex wicking system in a RTA or pre-fab coil tank is not necessary. Rayon wick has the best juice transport capability I have yet found, and as I said, some tanks have a big enough port to have some hope to do it. Unfortunately, that means building. I do not know of a pre-fab coil topper that does a really good job of wicking pure VG.
And, I now recall, back in the day before the now-standard bottom coil, air-over-vacuum tank design was commonplace, some of the Old Skool Genny troopers were getting decent results wicking thick juices with bamboo or porous ceramic wicks, Most Gennys don't breathe well enough for DL hits, though. A similar design is the RDTA, essentially a dripper on top of a tank, like an iJoy Limitless. Wicked rayon, that might work too. Al of that is built coils, though.
Then try the Pico kit. If it doesn't work, we'll walk you through building instructions in a different tank-- the mod will still work just fine-- or you can buy pre-built build coils and only need learn how to wick, or you can pay a vape shop to coil it for you.I don't know if I can do all that.
My vote is for Pico kit or Pico and Kanger Toptank. If you decide on a squonk set up, AVS (advanced vapor supply) has very good prebuilt 316l ss coils at reasonable prices. You can use ss coils in tc or power mode.
If you can run a smart phone and operate a coffee maker you can build coils.
The Baby Beast coils (and the Baby Beast RBA) wick my "max VG" liquids pretty well. But the Baby and Big Baby tanks are DL only. The Kanger tanks and coils wick it well enough too, but it takes some work on the vaping technique. You have to start pulling on the tank a second before firing, and keep pulling another second after releasing.
"Max VG" is about the best anyone seeking variety can get because most flavorings are PG based. It's really hard to find a wide selection of 100% VG juice unless you brew your own or pay a premium. I am a mostly DIY'er, and I prefer max VG for smoothness and vapor production. It also allows me to keep nic levels higher.

I'm okay with paying for it for now until I figure out if I like it or not. Also, I'm sure I can coil wires etc, it's mostly that I would like to start out easier.
No, thanks. Personal choice and opinion, but the whole "organic" and "non-GMO" "Gluten free" stuff smells like a very good way of separating gullible consumers from their disposable income.
I'll stick to my USP VG and PG and food grade flavorings.
I agree. You can make out the light coming down the tracks on that one. Not hard to imagine a decade from now all the articles about how a Gluten free diet is linked to a increase in pancreatic cancer or some such thing.
I was just hoping there was no pg. Dont care so much about the organic part.
