I am a former smoker of about 16 years. Now after purchasing a iTaste VV3 and a clearo (and upgrading to a MVP 2.0 and a nautilus) I am 45 days analog free.

I am currently grappling over getting a single coil dripper like the IGO-L for the MVP so I can learn how to wrap and wick and cool stuffs. The initial startup cost (though admittedly low) has me in knots. I know the eventual purchase with be a mech mod or something like the DNA30. Just dropping by to get in on the ECF after being on the ECR =)

I don't know much about the DIY coils, but someone should be along to help you out with that. Welcome, and enjoy vaping. This is the best forum for info of any kind regarding vaping.

I think your plan is pretty solid, I would find a cheap Youde (UD) product, such as the igo-l or w and wrap some basic coils and run it with your mvp, which should fire down to 1.7 ohm. After you get a handle on building, grab a mechanical and a unprotected imr battery, and charger. That would be my plan of action. I know discount vapers has some inexpensive drippers, as well as eciggity.

Oh and make sure to grab some resistance wire, I would start with 28 or 30 AWG a-1 kanthal, and some organic cotton or some German silica. Cotton would be cheaper.

Yeah. Kanthal, cheap dripper, an ohm meter and some cotton. Was kind of the way I was going to go about this. Thanks for confirming. Makes it easier to pull the trigger.

Although I am a n00b myself, welcome to ECF.

I've got an RSST on order and intend on building my own coils as well.

Go Gators!

Welcome and congratulations on quitting!

I make coils for our EVODs, ProTanks and Aeros (not into dripping). As I tell everybody, if I can do it, anybody can. It isn't hard...
Good luck and enjoy

Fyi the mvp will fire down to .9 it has a 3 amp limit I think so it won't do much at .9 I find 1.7-1.8 a good spot for the mvp

Welcome to ECF! Sounds like you have a great plan. The igo l is what I started with. Have fun!

I saw Rip's video on rebuilding the Nautilus coil. He used a new coil and replaced the dual coil with a single one. Do you think you can rebuild an used coil? I have about 5 Nautilus coils left and was just wandering.

Kanthal and coil jig incoming for micro's and checking out fasttech now for the IGO-L.
