I am wanting to get into the rebuildable rda's. I do not know enough about them to know the difference in between what is good and what is bad. Going to watch some videos on rebuilding them and such, just hard to tell what is good, what is bad, what gauge wire I need to use, what I need to use for wick...etc.
Recommendation for a decent RDA for my manhatten

I'm not going to recommend a specific rda... plenty of folks will tell you about their "pet" attys. ;-)
What I will suggest is to get a deep juice well, so you don't need to drip as often, an adjustable AFC that will allow you to try both single coil and dual parallel coil builds with a dedicated air flow port (an example of this would be the Origen V2)... and a tunable downdraft/sidedraft or shielded air flow system (the Omerta would fall into the former catagory, the Veritas would fit the latter category).
RDA users will use anything from a thick 22 gauge Kanthal, to as thin as 32 gauge. I find that I use 26 and 26 gauge more than any other.
Wick can be cotton, rayon, hemp fiber, silica rope, ceramic rope, ceramic rod, SS mesh... an many other less common materials. I've listed them in what I feel may be the most popular order.

I hear that the Fogger V4+V5 are great RBA. Dripping is cool but I'm a chain puffer. I don't want to be dripping or carrying bottles with me where ever I go.. might as well be a metal spoon and a straw 
I have a fogger V4 black, on its way in a couple of weeks and a Vamo v7 on its way too. I watched hours and hours of coil builds and tuts. Everyone will tell you something different.
I got my Vamo from China $22 and Fogger V4 $15. The reviews on the Fogger V4 are extremely good everyone who uses it, loves it. It is dual coil and might be a tad difficult to build but If you can build a coil, you can coil a Fogger; it's just a simple matter of patience.
Its gonna cost a pretty penny but you're gonna need $5 29gauge Kanthal A1. $22 Vamo V7. $16 Fogger V4/5 = $43 and a month to get to you. If money isn't a problem, buy a Vamo from the states at about triple the cost and do the same for the Fogger.
I've done some reading around and most people agree that the Vamo v7 VW 30w is a good solid APV and a great place to start. You'll also need an 18650 or a pair of them and a charger for 'em. I got 2 authentic Efest 2500mAh 35amp IMR for about $15 and a charger for about $4. Totaling about $62 oh and maybe a bag of 100% pure organic cotton for an even total of $65.
That plus the tools like tweezers and screwdrivers etc. When you watch anyone build a coil on youtube you'll see a very standard set of items people use. Needle nose pliers, cheap jewelers screwdriver set, tweezers, Jet lighter.
I hope this helped. If so, like my post please.
