Hi and welcome to the board. I build all my stuff. I think it's fun and it is undoubtedly cheaper than buying replaceable coils. You're hearing good advice so far: +1 on the ohmmeter, a coil calculator and the Ohms Law Calculator. You say you have an MVP, but you don't say which one. They vary as to minimum resistance capability and maximum wattage, and this will make a difference regarding your coil builds. I agree an RDA-- rebuildable dripping atomizer or "dripper"-- is easiest to learn on as the deck is bigger. They're cheap; you can get a decent Dark Horse or Plume Veil clone for 10 bucks or less on eBay. It's also true an RTA-- rebuildable tank atomizer-- is easier to build on than a replaceable coil tank with a build deck also because the deck is bigger. A good, single coil RTA with airflow adjustable enough to be used MTL-- mouth to lung-- or DTL-- direct to lung-- is the Lemo 2. It can be had in the authentic version for about 30 bucks.
You're also going to need some wire and wick material. I suggest a short roll of 28 and 32 ga round Kanthal A1 for a beginner-- you can build an astoundingly wide variety of coils with just those; I've been doing it forever and they're about all I use to this day-- and a few organic cotton pads or a short piece of rayon. I personally use rayon and like it. You will further need some tools. Mandrels to wrap coils on are useful-- the famous Little Blue Screwdriver that comes with the tank also works. I started using drill bits, and they work too. A coil tool is useful but not required. Handy though, as the come with a variety of mandrels, giving you more options regarding length and size of your coils for the same resistance. Additionally, wire cutters, needle nose, tweezers, screwdriver with several small points are all handy. If you don't have all that stuff laying around in your toolbox, consider buying a coil making tool kit where all of that plus an ohmmeter will be included.
Watch some videos, and then have at it. Good luck. Feel free to come talk to us any time you feel uncertain, we're happy to help. And don't build too low. It's neither necessary nor safe.
