I love the looks of the 134 myself, but; besides having a narrow power range, and not offering the vv option (it's vw only) it doesn't measure and show you your coil resistance.
So unless you got something else, I wouldn't buy the 134 as a first mod; is it?
I recently got a 30mm magma, and a 30mm veritas; love em both so far; 1 downside, the veritas came with screws that rusted when I soaked it.
For kanthal get some 30 gauge and some 28 gauge.
For coil diameter, use 2mm metric or 1/16 inch british. (5/64 inch if you have that)
Does the 134 have a minimum ohms?
(I would guess at either 1.0 or maybe 0.8).
If so, dual coils could cause some trouble unless you want to match up two x 2.0+ ohm coils....
What about Veritas (good) or iGo-L (OK)?
I've tried a dual coil (plume veil RDA) (Orchid RBA) on an iStick and it wasn't that great.

Can't really tell you exactly what to do but I started dripping with a single coil RDA like this:
Dripper RDA

I wouldn't recommend the 134 for dripping. Get a DNA 30 (or 50/100 watt box) or a mod.
I do have a vv EVOD i believe it's called and yes the 134 would be my first mod . Is having vv important for dripping? one of the main reasons I want to try dripping is I have tons of different flavors and don't want to in vest in a ton of tanks. I was under the impression with dripping I can use the same atomizer for different flavors, is that right or have I been misunderstanding what I have been reading? probably the latter lol
If you are new rebuildables I highly recommend you spend some time with Baditude (one of our resident battery experts) and visit his blogs. Make sure you purchase an ohm reader and a voltmeter or DMM so you can measure your builds, check for shorts and measure the remaining charge on your batteries (unless you have a variable v/w mod that does all of these).

you need:
a high wattage box or a mech mod (don't get a 134). I only use mech mods, so can't recommend a box personally.
kanthal wire - 26g or 28g is good to start out, but I build most of my RDAs using 24g.
cotton wick
a 510 ohm meter
something to wrap around (i usually use a multimeter probe or a very small screwdriver - both about 5/64)
tweezers (ceramic tipped tweezers are great because you can adjust the coils while firing the device)
high amp drain batteries
low nicotine, heavy vg e-juice

Want to try dripping ? I recommend you move directly to the advance level drippers move on too.
Try a Reo, bottom feed dripping. Most drippers who tried it never went back to hand dripping. Easy, indestructable, outstanding after sale service....etc. Don't take my word for it. Check out their forum. You will be happy you did.

I think what you are looking for is a non-rebuildable dripper - not a RDA.
Here is a great blog post on dripping by ECF member The Ocelot: Drip, Drip, Drip - The Sound of Dripping.
510 drip atomizers or Nano clearomizers can be used for sampling multiple flavors without the need for separate tanks.
Excellent , I have some reading to do.........Thank you very much!!
These will work on almost any 510 battery. Rip Trippers did a review on them and seemed to be very impressed. Keep in mind that they don't last very long and can't be rebuilt so buy several. https://highdesertvapes.com/products/510-Atomizer-(Bridgeless).html
an igo L and some 28 or 30 gauge Kanthal should work. it won't be oh my god, awesome but it will get the job done. try building a single coil around 1.6 ohms should give you a taste. I wouldn't spend any real big cash on a dripper with this device as it won't really perform well enough to justify the expenditure...This device will give you some practice building coils while doing it safely.
1: Doesn't matter if you have vv or vw, but the typical mod has both; so I'd be hesitant to pay big bucks to vv alone or vw alone when so many cheap mods have both.
2: For your first mod, I recommend one with a screen that shows you ohms. This is especially important for when you are relatively new to vaping.
3: With a dripper there is no tank; it's like you have the tank separate and you just add some more when you feel like, and if you want to add a different flavor you just add it.
