The Coil Master makes it sooooo easy! There are many youtube videos for that too, and I believe SuperX has a vid of it too.

Really good choice!!! You'll love the RM2. Gives SUPERB Flavor, Taste, and Vapor. You'll love it!
Also a good choice. That Coil Master has burst out of no where, and has quickly become the #1 tool in building coils. Super_X absolutely hated the thing in his first video, but gave it another try weeks later. He now uses it all the time!

Glad to hear I am making good choices, It is now getting it, and doing it. Thanks to all.
Congrats 
Way to go . Just keep in mind that 26 ga wire is a wire best suited for fairly low resistance builds. I don't know what your target resistance (ohms) are but for starters (with that wire) I'd suggest the 2.5mm rod on the coil master and go at least 10 winds. That will probably put you at right about 1.0 ohms (just guessing). I'd have recommended starting with something like 29 or 28 gauge and starting with 8 winds.
The heat up time on 26 ga is a little longer - which is good because once it gets fully heated up its pretty hot so unless you take pretty massive pulls, you won't experience it's fury but it also takes a while to cool down. It likes a lot of air IMO.
What do you plan to wick with?
Oh, and here's something everyone should know when rebuilding (don't be scared - it really is easy stuff when you apply common sense.
if I can rebuild, anyone can cause I'm kinda lacking in the patience / skill area

Thanks for the tips, I plan on using Koh Gen Do for wicking. I am waiting for it to arrive. I also have 28 & 29 gauge wire.
You've gotten lots of great advice from the naughts'. You can't go wrong if you follow Russ' (super_X_drifter) videos. My advice to anyone new to rebuildables is to read up on how to do it safely before even starting. I'm not trying to scare you but learn about what can go wrong and then go from there. It is easy and even fun if you just follow a few simple rules for safety. Over time, you'll find your sweet spot. Happy vaping!
Just wanted to let you all know, I built my first coil. 28 guage kanthal 2.5 ml coil master, 6 wraps it came in at 1.0. Didn't think I could do it. My RM2 I don't have yet. It is waiting for me at work. Did it on a manger sub tank mini. Thanks to all.
It seems to be working good.

Excellent! Let us know how it's going when you get all the pieces/parts together
Hopefully I will try tonite. I will keep you posted.Excellent! Let us know how it's going when you get all the pieces/parts together
Congrats on your purchase ! Let us know how you end up making out. I started on the RM2 and that's the one I still use. Cartomizers did me good for 4 years on my Reo Prior.
The little joy I had making the coils at first is gone though for me personally. I am ready to start purchasing these bags of pre built coils.
I'm single but I don't know what in the world you guys tell your significant others when you are tinkering with your coils.

kkiet, congrats on your success! I sometimes go 3 months on the same coil (28g 1.2ohms). When I rewick I just give it a dry burn and carry on. Don't feel as though you need to build a new coil every week.
I did manage to get it all together, after trying a few times. coil came in at 1.1 using 28gauge and 2.5ml post. Much better than the cartos, just doesn't seem like the flavor is there. am using KGD cotton. any suggestions.
Would you be able to post pictures a top view and a front view of the built atomizer - that will make it much easier to help dial it it
Is the air hole lined up with the coil?
You want that hole to be able to hit the coil directly with air.

Yeah the air will flow basicly on a sharp angle up to the drip tip so if ur coils are more then a couple of mm away from the side air hole then it's not making proper air flow contact with the coil.
Also if your coils are not darkening up after a little while the wick is too thick and no juice is getting in to the coil.
