Hey!
I've started vaping two days ago and I love it. However, I'm already looking for ways to improve it even more, so I'm asking you what I should do.
I bought an iStick pico and overall I'm pretty happy with it.
I vape directly to lung (DTL?).
I'm looking for an atomizer?, tank? (I'm not too familiar with what is what yet, sorry) that benefits my way of vaping. Also I'd like to get more suitable coils.
Thanks in advance, appreciate it!
You sound like I did when I started vaping 5 years ago.
Your wanting sub-ohm for DTL vaping. Anything you screw into your mod is an atomizer (atty). Now question, do you want to drip very so many hits? If so you want an RDA, or so you want convince? If so you want a tank. Now...another question, do you want to build your own coils? As someone else commented, building coils is a little fussy (if you get into exotic coils such as aliens, staggered fused claptons, staple coils) but it's hard to beat old single strand coils. I build all kinds of coils but I keep going to single strand coils just cause they are simple, doesn't take long to build and install and wick. You will want to get a coil building g jig (CoilMaster makes a good starter building kit with everything you will need).
Now back to the atty, you can get a RDA for cheap and build your own coils or you can buy pre-made exotic coils and just install them on the deck of your RDA/RTA. A RDA is an atty you build coils for and drip your juice right onto the coils. A RTA is a tank that you make coils for and wick then has a chamber that holds the juice instead of dripping onto the coils. You can't get a better flavor any atty other than dripping. Now if your into a tank that takes per-made coil heads that's an option. I can't stand them because some makers pack the cotton so tight in them it takes forever to break-in a coil head but to each his/her own. I prefer to build my coils and have a 3-5 hit break-in period rather than a couple 5ml tank full of juice break-in period.
I would say do a little research first on hardware. Decide wether you want a RDA, RTA or a tank that comes with pre-made coil heads. Once you have an idea of what you want, go to YouTube and start watching reviews on different hardware and make your decision based on what you think you want and what you think your vaping style will be. You will sink some $ into this, especially if you turn it into a hobby like a lot of us has. Then next will be the mod...lol. You can spend upwards of $400isb on a mod just by itself. I build my own mods to cut down on that price. I'll attach a pic of my latest mod (lipo battery with high mAh. I can vape in this battery for 2 days on a single charge easy). It's standing beside a 120ml bottle of juice (I make my own juice..DIY) and a 30 oz Yeti for size comparison. I have a 41mm 25ml Voltrove sitting on top (massive but I can go a full day or so on 1 tank full of juice. I vape anywhere between 10-20ml of juice a day). Oh, BTW, that's while vaping on a .5 dual coil build and vaping at 11.5V which comes out to be right at 243W so I have a hard hitting, long lasting mod/battery combo along with a long lasting tank.
I think I have plugged you full of a little bit of info. Your cheapest mod/tank and juice combo will be the first one you get. Next is a spiral of mods, attys, wire and $ into the world of hobby vaping...lol. Enjoy and if you have any questions, just plug it in here on ECF and you will get answers. Welcome to the start of the rest of your smokeless life!
Edit: I forgot to add the pic I mentioned. Here it is.
