All this talk about building coils SO makes me want to get into it...but I'm only 2 mos into vaping and haven't even tried all of the liquids I've wanted to try yet and have only really used 2 different, fairly basic setups (Halo Triton and dripping on a 510 atomizer), which I know are both pretty amateur. What is typically the step in between what I'm using now, and rba's? Is there sort of a "recommended segway" into that sort of advanced tinkering?

My recommendation is watching videos on YouTube, lots and lots of videos.
I've learned allot from them, start with a cheaper RDA for the first time.
I personally think the RDA Octopus by SMOKtech is the way to start, easy to rebuild and lots of room to do it.
I think Gotvapes is out of stock?

RDA Octopus by SMOKtech Rebuildable Dripper 1.7ohm - GOLD [gv-SMOKtechRDAOctopus-GOLD] - $8.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

Congrats on making it for 2 months :thumbs:.

Mr. Max had some great advice, watch plenty of youtube videos. Making coils is SOOOO easy after you master it, but even if you are good with your hands, coil-making can and will be hard at first. Just when you think you got it down, you make a beautiful coil that just isnt working right. Maybe theres a hot-spot, maybe the coil is to tight on the wick, ....just dont get frustrated. Most of us waisted a ton of wick and wire trying to perfect our craft. :) Just keep trying. (I mean when you start of-course) ;)

I'm really liking Todd's tutorials. They do a lot of step-by-step rather than "I put a 3 wrap on this and that and it tastes great." And he's not affiliated with any company as far as I can tell (here or in the UK.)



ETA: And if you are going to try rebuilding you need either a multimeter or an oHm reader (the little black box in the vid.)
