Hello Opinionated, yes, I bet the first coilings are a pain, deserving some dedicated time to get used to. Yes, the gear is splitted btween GB and FT, one mod, charger, cotton and tank are already packed but still in GB despite I made the order a week ago. The rest from FT is on the shopping chart, already selected. Im still trying to determine the best wire type for both resistance levels I ve mentioned, we think ss316, 26-28 gauge would be better for taste, but plain, rounded, tiger style? Any suggestion? Thanks again!!

If i were you, I would buy both the 26 gauge as well as the 28. (one roll of each size) 316SS is correct, that is a good choice as you can use that in wattage mode and tc mode. Brand probably doesn't matter, I am sure UD is fine unless you can get TEMCo... but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way for the TEMCo, as I said UD is probably just fine. Just get the round wire. Basic.

It's okay.

So you've ordered everything now?

The thing about wicking is that is the most difficult aspect to learn, and each tank has its little quirks. If you don't wick properly any tank will leak. But with proper wicking pretty much none will.. so don't take the whole leaky tank comments as gold. Some tanks are just more finicky in how you need to wick it, and some people have no patience to learn a new tank.

Once you get your tank then have patience while learning wicking. It took me SEVERAL tries on a very high dollar rta to finally get the wicking right. The first few times I lost ALL the juice in my tank.. hahaha.

If you need help we will be happy to help you.. and you never know, you might get it on the first go!

Just watch a couple build videos on your particular tank first.

Thank you.

Your welcome..

And just so you know, as I neglected to mention. You dont technically need both sizes. However, in building we find our preferences, mine is the 26 gauge and others 28.. you might find you like one above the other for one reason or another, and having both on hand is just handy.. :) One might do better in one tank above another etc. That is why I said if it were me I'd get both.
