Hi guys. Ive just recently decided to get into both mechanical mods and rebuildables. As of right now i only have a MVP2 with a protank and a cartomizer tank. I think ill be able to get the hang of rebuilding and what not, but im having trouble finding what, and where to buy. I need the whole 9 yards from the mod to the battery to the charger to the wick to the wire and of course the atomizer. I cant seem to find a site that will provide me with all of these in stock. Im not sure what mod i want but id like to buy everything on the same US site. Clones are the way im going due to being on an under $100 budget. Can anyone PLEASE hook me up or atleast point me in the right direction? Idk if theres some sort of starter kit that comes with everything or what. Thanks, and i hope i posted this in the right spot.

MOD- sentinel m16 brass clone, Nemesis clone, k101 are hard hitting mods but several other nice clones also.
Atty- trident dripper, igo l, igo w, are nice
battery- sony 30amp hybrids
charger- nightcore i2 or i4 are cheap and do the job
kanthal- depends on what build your aiming at, I use 28 and build .7ohm micro coils on a 5/64 drill bit. flavor is great, it fires fast and if you want clouds this will give you good clouds. simple to build as well
wick- peaches and creme yarn, organic cotton both work great, I like the yarn more

you can get most of this from ebay or vape 101.com I bought my m16 from fast tech, the trident from ebay, kanthal ebay, batteries you can get form amazon and the charger

you will also need a multimeter to check your builds resistance and check for shorts.

I agree with sawtooth. He yanked the words right out of my mouth. Sony batteries because with mechs battery safety is number one. All mods and atties are all solid in their own regards. I suggest getting some 28,30,and 32 gauge wire. It is cheap enough, you might as well buy all three so you can tinker and build as many coils as you feel like.

Yarn you can grab from Walmart or some place just like it. Also some craft store like Michaels have it.

As far as cotton goes same thing or the pharmacy, CVS/Walgreens. I just use regular 100% cotton unbleached. Its not organic and it works great. Only thing with the yarn its you have to boil it unlike the cotton.

thanks a lot for the response! do you mind tellin me what site you buy your yarn and cotton from?

I get it at walmart. you will have to boil it for 15minutes. I boiled it and soaked up as much water as could with paper towels then stuck it in the microwave and did short cooks until it was dry. taste awesome

Most everything you will need can be gotten here:
101 Vape

Mods: Anything HCIGAR. I have both a King and a Nemesis.
Batteries: Sony or Efest Purple 18650
Charger: Nitecore is good.
RDA: I highly recommend this,
Trident V2 clone - 101 Vape

Kanthal .30mm (28ga) A must
Cotton as others have suggested can be gotten at any drug store or Walmart
If you do not have an Ω OHM Meter you will also need this:
Ohms Meter - 101 Vape

If you PM me on what you need I may can find it for you. Most of this stuff can be found on eBay. If you know what you're looking for.

Are you referring to the video? If so, don't bother looking for MNKE 18650, they stopped making them last fall.

AW 1600mAh are great for mechanicals. Sony VTC4 are as well. They have high amp limits, and nice long voltage curves in the +3.7V range.

AW IMR 18650 3.7v 1600mAh - Batteries

Sony US18650VTC4

no sorry that wasnt clear...just meant generally in this thread. I have always been under the impression that AW were the "safest" battery and the highest quality...
