I take your point, but I also think you'll find a vape hot enough to cause you problems with PG/VG will be pretty uncomfortable.

Speaking of what I need. I know nothing about the atomizers or wires or anything so if you guys can make a suggestion. I know some of you already have, but just wanted a consensus if that's possible.
Will I have problems with the company's warranty? Is it a knockoff?

Did you try vapecrawler when you were looking for kit? I use AVS, Advanced Vape Supply, for wire and prebuilt coils. All are ss (I like 316l). Stainless steel coils/wire can be used in tc or power mode. If you're wanting an rta, Serpent SMM and OBS Engine Nano (both single coil) are good for beginners. I have a goon clone rda that provides great flavor and is fairly easy to build on. Engine dual is another good one. You will get many opinions on what's better. These work for me and my style of vaping. 
HCigar is famous for making clones, in addition to their own models, but they're also top quality in the arena. I would not hesitate to buy any of their gear. I know nothing about GearBest, I have never bought anything from them. I do use Fasttech some, and they're good people if you don't mind the 2-3 week shipping time. For an atomizer, try a Serpent SMM RTA. And get some 28ga SS316 wire and rayon wick. That's what I use and it works for me. I find 28ga is the all-around most useful size wire for anything between .4-.9Ω. If you want to vape above 1Ω, get 32ga. If you want to get really low-- I don't recommend it-- 26 or even 24ga. And take a hard look at a 521 tab ohmmeter. They're useful. You can also buy a tool kit containing one which will get you well started.

Is an ohm meter for testing the conductivity of a coil? Can't you just use a multimeter?
Ohm meters designed for vaping test the resistance of your build, among other things. You can use a multimeter (most of us started with regular digital multimeters from Home Depot
), but it's a PITA. If you're serious about building coils, get a good Ohm's meter for ecigs.That said, most mods nowadays will read your resistance for you, so an Ohm's meter is not an absolute necessity--unless you're using a mechanical mod.
This is the one I own (and don't use all the time--I build very simple coils):

Thanks for your recommendation on the Nano, I am really loving mine and so is my brother, it is his 1st rebuildable and he loves it. These are some nice tanks, easy to build and wick and no leaks. For max VG juice though, you really need to thin out your wick tails or use rayonDid you try vapecrawler when you were looking for kit? I use AVS, Advanced Vape Supply, for wire and prebuilt coils.

I use the Kendo Gold with no problems, but thinning the juice tails helps. I also ordered the regular Engine for myself and love the Velocity style build deck, but the single coil nano is best for beginners. I retired my Baby Beast and now the OBS Engines are my work and out and about tanks while my Combo RDTAs are my at home chain vapes. No more buying coils for me. I have some new twisted wire and Hive wire shots coming, I'm anxious to try some new coil builds.
I like the Kendo Gold that comes with my AVS coils. I got some of the hive wire from Tradition Vapes, was pretty good wire for flavor.
Not really. A multimeter isn't built to register resistances below one ohm accurately. You'd need a milliohmmeter for that, and they are hella expensive. Get a vape meter. It's cheaper and it's designed for the job. I think the 521 tab is the best available right now, but you can get an El Cheapo on eBay for under 5 bucks.
There are lots of people here who vape max or 100% vg in regular tanks.. I have a kabuki which uses nautilus coils that I vape 100% vg in regularly.
There is an art to it, just block off the airflow with your finger every couple / few puffs and take a drag without power and there are no problems. . No it doesn't wick as well, so you just help it wick better.
If she likes higher wattages, most tanks these days are actually made for max vg juices.
In my opinion, there aren't any tanks that a max vg user can not use, it's simply a matter of what you do to make it work.
Isn't it great to get away from buying coils! Congrats and hope you continue to enjoy your new hobby
Heathers Heavenly Vape has a purity line of e juice that is a true 100% vg, meaning the flavoring extracts used in those e juices are vg based as well. I have bought from them and can say they have good juice..
