Noob to RBA's and I really need Coil/ wire gauge advice. TIA

[ScubaBebe]

I am about to attempt to set up my first RBAs. I have an IGO-L, Nimbus, AGA-t, some little drippers and a couple of others. LOL, I know, just trying to stock up in case the FDA goes nuts. I am almost at a point that even if they do...I'm good.

I don't like warm vape, I don't care for throat hit, I like a cool smooth vape....just flavor and vapor (and Nic ). So if I understand this correctly, I'm not looking for low ohms. What gauge kanthol should I use? Steel mesh vs silica, cotton, ceramic, ss rope?

Who's videos are the best to watch?

I know this goes against everything most strive for here but is there something out there to get a cooler "hit" from a mech mod? Will coil build do that? I love mech mods they are sleek and sexy...and cute but I enjoy my EGOs and Vamo more. A provari is in the near future but right now mech MODs have priority. Better a too warm hit than no vaping.

Thanks guys for any help and advice.

I believe that AlmightyGod's videos are the best when it comes to rebuildables.

.

These are all personnal preferences, people will continue to debate/argue which is better.
I recommend starting with silica, its the easiest to work with, and the most forgiving if you get it wrong the first time.
I would get small amounts of several different sizes of silica, and several different gauges of kanthal to try out to you find what works best for you and your devices.
