So form my RDA I use a Mutation X V2. It has a decent platform to build on. Depending on what coil I want depends on what gauge wire I use. Most of the time I will use 24 gauge kenthal with 5 wraps and get a .3 olm.
For my build I usually do 24 gauge parallel build. It's great and gives off lots of vape.
For my mod I have a Panzer clone and love it.
So much to chose from. Good luck.

^ I feel like your picture vs. your earlier post bears explanation. While your two coils in the picture are electrically in parallel, they are not a "parallel build," per se. A parallel build (in vaping terms) would be two wires wrapped side by side in the same coil, as in appearing to be a single coil. You probably know that, but I didn't want the OP to be confused by the two.
You are 100% right. I usually will do a parallel build because it puts out more vape. The build above is just a simple 5 wrap build with 24 gauge that takes little time that I do at work. If you would like to see an example of the parallel I would be more than happy to show you what it would look like on the Mutation.
I'm not going to put this on my RDA now. The build that is on was made today.
Once you build the parallel, put it on your RDA and heat it up a few times. At this point you can take needle nose pliers and gently tighten up and push the coils together.
Either way good luck finding an RDA and mod that works best for you.

the samsung batts are good. havent tried the troll RDA personally cuz i dislike the logo, but the deck looks good on it. on the Fuhattan I wouldnt recommend it at all, there is no venting holes in the device. The topcap has no slits for top venting, and look at the button in the bottom, no holes for venting.If something goes wrong with the battery, it has nowhere to vent. It looks like its a two piece bottom switch though, if that small area around that bottom screw vented through the button and the tube then maybe. I wouldn't buy it though but thats just me.
if you want a carbonfiber one, id suggest the stingray

stingray is a proven mech and very popular, plus that one looks pretty slick i think ill be adding that one to my cart actually =D. The venting on the stingray has notches in the threads and holes near the bottom

i can tell u for one, the freakshow looking at the airflow since its at the bottom of the atty, that one will leak a bit more.
I was in same shoes as OP. I pulled the trigger at MFS with a bundle deal. Troll, SMPL, SonyVTCR, and a one bat charger. $47 and some change. I have only one other mech that I use... REO with a little RM2 atty. So this will be something new fun to learn.
Is that a 28g parallel? I build those in duals for my wife with a 5 wrap (comes out to about .20 -.23 usually) for her mech mod. They definitely rip, but are tough to build really clean. I found (especially building on a tube mech) that when you're setting the coils, if you heat them and wiggle them until they're even and then quench them in a cup of water, they become much jmore durable and stiff. I usually heat cycle them 2 or three times, and I also find that my post screws don't back out afterward.
I didn't mention it before, either, but with small gauge wire, I use a drill to straighten it before wrapping, and it seems to cut down on the springiness as well.
There's so many mechs and drippers to choose from, so just keep buying them and trying them till you find a combo you like or you run out of money.
I have a copper SMPL and a Tugboat V2 (dual 0.6 ohm), both clones and it is about as close to my perfect vape as I have gotten so far.
