Yeah, me either. But they are a great place to start and pretty portable. One step up from an e-pen style. (or non rba tank)
Going to give it a go. Will check out uk prices as we seem to get charged a premium

Until you gain some skills to cut down the time involved, it doesn't have to be that time consuming.
My first coil build on an old Genesis-style RTA took me nearly 45 minutes! But Gennies are tough, especially for beginners.
I can now make a coil for my dripper in about 3 - 4 minutes. Keep in mind I only have to make a new coil every 2 - 3 months.
Changing the wick takes about 3 minutes. 1 minute to dry burn a coil. That's every 3 - 4 days.
ok this is just me showing off my new shinnies. DON'T try this build until you are very comfortable building. I vaped for 6 months, used hundreds of feet of wire, 6 pouches of cotton, picked MOOCH's brain like a zombie, spend 12 hours on battery forums, and had a 30 minute discussion with my vendor before I even TOUCHED a mechanical mod, like the one i am using here...
This is on a Drip Atomizer
This build is at 0.09 ohms, but if it came in at 0.08 I would have trashed the coil and rebuilt it. I usually shoot for 0.1 to 0.12 to 0.15.
*and note.. i did NOT show how to make the coils. Just stated the resistance*

LOL My older little bro was here a couple days ago and watched me pull a big cloud, and was totally amazed that it dropped to the floor like a clump of cotton.
yeah, and you can start using drippers even on the mod you have now. Just build accordingly. I use Coil wrapping to pre-build my coils on "paper" before ever touching a wire.
$20.00 Canadian, Taxes in. It was old stock from a vendor the shop doesn't use anymore. I think they discontinued the clones. THAT is a clone.. I don't have $200.00+ to spend on an RDA. LOL.
Hmm.. I just started getting my wires from kidneypuncher.com It is based in Arizona, US. But I can buy my wire by 30, 100 and 250 foot spools, and 250ft for $18 is cheaper than $7.99 for 30ft.
meanwhile I get nagged for oops clouds and I'm not even trying for them... *sighs*... it's not MY fault he finally decided it was time to quit and using vaping to do it...
My wife sits and grins at my clouds, and sometimes comment... ooooo fluffy... The cat likes to watch them float across the room. LOL
Nah I get you sound like your on a ventilator

LMAO.. Toodlepuffer.. LOL.. j/k. I make like 2 coils every day or 2. (3 once i get the part for my Tsunami). Different wire, coils, builds, wicks.. Its a hobby though, and kept my mind off stinkies during that first couple months.Until you gain some skills to cut down the time involved, it doesn't have to be that time consuming.

Edit... LOL I once spent 8 hours, from midnight to 8 am building a coil build. Not one vape the whole time, I was preoccupied with the coil build.

I don't particularly like making coils. I worked in a vape shop where I had to be proficient in making coils. My co-workers made a new fancy coil every day, it was a hobby to them. That wasn't my thing. My simple coils worked just as good as their exotic coils.
