So, I've decided...

Hey ya'all-
...So, I've decided I want to do an RTA. I need recommendations of a decent priced RTA and mod. I'm on a fixed income :2c: but my son has convinced me since he got an RDA that we can do this together. I just know I don't wanna be a dripper. :unsure: Don't have time for that. :facepalm: So...keep in mind- I have to do this on the least amount of money possible, yet I know that if you seek FREE, you get what you pay for too-garbage. :tumble:

:offtopic:I had bought an e-Leaf 20W mod with an Innokin T22 tank- I feel like I'm sucking my brains out just to get a hit. NOT the set-up for me. So, if you know someone who wants a starter mod who's coming off smokes, this may be what they want.:thumb:

Explain to me- what's the difference quality wise between wrapping your own coils and buy pre-made ones like Claptons? :glug: I try to watch a bunch of You-tubes, but I end up confused between hype, preference, and what-not.:-x I didn't even know what a cloud chucker was until my son started vaping and told me- uh, doh!:blink:

Happy vaping! :vapor:

Take a look at the kayfun v5. Newby friendly and will last you a lifetime. It's a bit more than some of the Chinese tanks (nothing wrong with them), but will certainly outlast them. That'll save you money in the long run- along with wrapping your own coils.

Two big differences between stock coils and self-built coils: money and customization. You can buy enough wire at temco to last a few years for the price of 5 replaceable heads. And, you can build for your taste.

I would buy:
Pico 25: $33.44 Authentic Eleaf iStick Pico 25 85W VW TC APV Box Mod (Silver Black) - 1-85W / 1*18650 / zinc alloy at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Aromamizer v2 : $28.77 Authentic Steam Crave Aromamizer Supreme V2 RDTA Atomizer - 5ml / stainless steel + glass at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Some coils for wattage or tc: $6.99 Iwodevape 316L Stainless Steel Pre-Coiled Wires for RBA Atomizer (100-Pack) - authentic / 28 AWG / 0.32mm / 0.8ohm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Some coils for wattage: $7.55 Authentic UD Kanthal A1 Pre-Coiled Heating Wire for Rebuildable Atomizers (50-Pack) - 26 AWG / 0.4mm dia. / 1.2ohm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Assuming you got 18650 batteries and a charger, and some cotton and scissors you are all set to vape anyway you want, for about $75.
Mtl (single 1.2 coil), tc (the ss coils) or dl (dual coil).
If you look for cheaper coils, I also like these: $3.14 Pre-Coiled Wires for Rebuildable Atomizers (100-Pack) - 29 AWG / 0.3mm dia. / 1.8ohm / 12*12mm leads / 9 loops at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping then your done for $65 but you can't do tc with these coils

If you also need bateries and stuff, add about $30 for 2 decent batteries, charger, and coil tools (ohm meter, scissors, wirecutter and cotton).

OOOH!! <3 the look of that one. A little leery of the "unregistered" air mail quote. If I order anything from UK, I want it registered and insured.
Gearbest is a china company , and they have multiple options for shipping ,prices are a lot lower than any where else , but down side is theres a wait in shipping, 10days ,
Ive saved a heck if lot of money buying from China a lot of other vapers a few million use china sites too ,
Vape Driod C1D2 dna 75 is 100£ in UK and 44£ from this site , big difference in price ,

I find that with the Chinese vendors I have to wade through reviews and discussions to find the better clones. 3fvape seems to be a site that does that and have been satisfied going through them for complete hardware items. They guarantee that the order will be forwarded within 24 hours. I still have to wait for the slow boat, but the product seems a better one of the clones.

Just an idea. Edit: The KF V5 and KF Mini V3, I have both, are a touch more airy than some "sucker" RTAs.

To be honest ive had a few and awaiting 2 orders from 3F vapes they tend to wait 3-10 days before shipping them ,
Gearbest is usually faster offers multiple shipping option , has photos reviews on site for many items mostly authentic RTA,s RDA,s Mods ect along with some Clones , so does fasttech , prices tend to be a lot cheaper than US, EU and UK,
There's also
2f Deals.com
Fasttech
Hotecig.com
3avapes.com
Heaven gifts
I've ordered from them all over the past year.
Probably saved the most ordering from gearbest , all these usually offer multiple shipping option and couriers.
