So I am looking for advice on a build that delivers good flavor but also I want some hugeclouds. I know there is a lot of safety concerns and that is why I am not just diving in and hopping that someone here can help me out know what I should buy to get the results that I want. Thank you all for any help and advice!

Start off with a micro coil https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd9LQHyNFOo&list=UURARYrTO3jjXJcwOrx2unQA&feature=c4-overview
then a nano coil and then nano dragon just have fun and try it all till you find the one for you! I always find myself coming back to the micro coil! just make sure to have a ohm reader so you know your device can handle it! Dont need your battery blowing up!

For good flavor and huge clouds without a doubt the super nano coil with a dragon style wick (use organic cotton). But if your more advanced and have the materials (32 gauge wire and ribbon wire). Make a flat ....... coil.
To make a super nano coil you just wrap a 28 gauge wire around a 28 gauge wire. Twisting it however many times to your liking (Recommended about 10 wraps).
And to make the flat ......., this one is a little more advanced, you get 2 strands of your 32 gauge wire, put it in a drill and spin them to make a twisted wire, THEN get your flat ribbon wire and do the same thing and twist that over the twisted 32 gauge wire, giving u the flat ......., and again wrapping it around however many times you want around preferably a 1/16 drill bit.
Now keep in mine if you are going to be making one of the two I would suggest going on YouTube and watching a tutorial telling you how to make the coils.
Good luck!! Hope this helped!!

With regards to safety - I use sony vtc4 batteries exclusively. They have a 30 amp continuous discharge rate, with a 60 amp pulse.
As for builds... Innovative, funky builds are fun and a nice change of pace. But to be honest, resistance for resistance, I find that regular old kinked 5/5 coils on a large diameter coil almost always out perform the rest.
My favorite build to get the best out of flavor and vapor:
This build meters at about 0.4 ohms, depending on how you twist the wire.
Dual coil
Twisted 30awg kanthal - NOT fully twisted wire. Fully twisted wire ends up being quite high resistance per inch. As a result I tend to 'half' twist the wire. By which I mean twisting the wire until each 'link' is about 2mm long.
1/8th internal diameter - I mostly use a precision screwdriver over a drill bit.
5/5 kinked wraps - Normally when you look down the center of a coil, with both leads pointing in the same direction, one lead is on the right hand side of the coil, the other lead is on the left. Kinking the leads means that both leads will come out from the center of the coil, so both the top and bottom of the coil will have the same number of wraps, which ensures even heat distribution.
Single strand of wire - This can be a pain to do, but rather than using one piece of wire for each coil, wrap one coil with a long piece of excess wire on one of the leads. After passing this long lead through the center post of the RDA, you use it to wrap the second coil.
Six strands of peaches n cream cotton yarn for each coil - Make loops of the yarn and fish it through the coils with a piece of kanthal. Cut off all excess yarn besides one loop for each coil. Tuck as much of this loop under each coil as you can, trim excess.
1/8th inch airholes for each coil in your top cap - Low resistance needs huge air holes!
Good luck!
PS. I highly recommend you do your first few builds under supervision of someone who knows what they are doing. Ask people at your local vape store if they would mind. Hot spots, even heating, shorts, etc, are not to be taken lightly.
That can be a bit of a loaded question.
First off, welcome and congrats!
Now.. theres a lot of stuff out there, and a lot of the real low end kits are fine, price and use permitting they will work well. That being said, a rare few hate the simple basic kits out there, and stop vaping going back to analogs, and others upgrade quickly.
So that leaves a couple avenues.
First and foremost, its up to you to decide what you believe is really worth it, and you may end up hating what you get. The beauty of these things now, is that there exists something out there that almost anyone could like, it just may take some time to find. Some do, and thats that forever, some find something they like and keep searching for a tweak here there and keep going.
So, here are some options.
1, A current 'easy' ego kit: Vapor4Life EGO Kit with 1 Battery | Vapor4Life E-Cigarette
-Relatively cheap, good starting point, fill with whatever juice you want
-Ok battery life, probably will want some backup parts
-Variable voltage, find that sweet spot and vape away
2, Vapor4Life EGO Kit with 2 Batteries | Vapor4Life E-Cigarette Same idea, but 2 batteries (so you can vape while charging the other!)
-Same pros/cons as above but less to buy in the near future
Lets step it up a bit
1 A basic Variable Voltage Mod: SMOKTech SID - Blue
-True VV/Variable Wattage device
-Holds an 18650 battery, which can last a LONG time between charges
-Put any 510 atomizer/cartomizer/tank etc you want on it
- You WILL need some kind of cartomizer/tank EG

The SID mod will net you a much better experience imo, as far as flavor, longevity, and once your used to it, ease of general everyday use. Maintaining it, and flavor stability will be much higher, and using a Variable Wattage device is great, wattage settings are much better than voltage, imo.
The former setups are fine, but you may cycle out of it quicker than you think.
Beyond that, some good places to start juice wise:
Freedom Smoke USA great prices and flavors
Heathers Heavenly Vapes, Top Quality Custom E-Liquids great flavors, the purity stuff is all natural extracts and tastes amazing!
Fuzion Vapor - Handcrafted ejuice for the vapestars! Shane is a genius, seriously, his juice is crazy good
You can feel free to PM me with any questions or for more specifics too!
Again, welcome and happy vaping!
--Edit, You can certainly go build your own coils as noted above, but, you may want to ease into that first. It will also go a bit further in terms of what you will need equipment wise, and can be very discouraging if you are really new to vaping in general and are having a hard time of it.
I would suggest you start off with something like the SID and a good tank setup and then get into experimenting beyond that, you can always fall back to your good, great vapor production pick up and go setup, while you fiddle with a coil and RDA that you are trying to get right/is shorting/etc.

For huge cluds you are gonna need VG based liguid. I make my own juice with 50:50 vg/pg and its good, just enought throathit and vapor. Try 80vg/20pg
what is your set that you are going to be building on? do you have one already? do you already have some 30 amp batteries?

Rip Trippers on youtube is the man when it comes to learning about builds.
Try the nano dragon coil here: Nano Dragon Coil Build - YouTube

my setup is Sigelei #19 with #8 caravella head and switch/ atomic rda, i have sony vtc4 30 amp batteries. my builds are sub ohm builds. my mechanical mod hits hard but if i decide to use a kick my mod will allow a kick and 18650. vapordna.com has a new device that they sale call the keg cap, it sets on top of a igo w and the inside of the drip tip is the same outside diameter as a 510 drip which a very wide bore.
do your battery safty research before getting into sub ohm builds, M.C. vapes and Vapehappy has battery safty videos on youtube, you can also find battery safty on here (ecf). look up my youtube page Cw Hink several builds of Rip Trippers, M.C. Vapes, Vapehppy and others.
