Someone please help! A million questions about coils before I build!

Nah, if you have an atomizer short, it just means the mod won't fire the tank and you'll have to figure out why. This just gives you a jump on things to look out for as simple pitfalls we all get nailed on.

Thank you, going to go check them out now!

It's a good vendor. I have found cheaper Japanese organic cotton on Amazon, but I've got plenty so I won't be buying again anytime soon. I like being able to buy the wire and wick in the same place. These pads are very nice to work with.

For Japanese Organic Cotton, I use Puffs Labo...

In reality, here's what's going to happen...
*atomizer shorts*
me: looks t it, turns it around to every possible angle, looks somewhere, pushes fire button again
me: oh ...., 27 minutes and I broke it already
*bursts into tears*

Then probably frantically messages you to fix me lol.

Ok, it was the 26 awg, but I want both!

 

[Shawn Hoefer]

How about this?

Look at this on eBay SS 316L Wire Sample Pack 25' each 22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36 Gauge

Try a bit of all gauges...

Oh god, more choices! Though if Im going to spend that much on just 26 and 28, why not get 8 different sizes?! But now I must look at the 95 package deals!

Thank you @Shawn Hoefer !

Check out this deal on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EM8UOGK?m=A2TLTYG8U2QKGY&ref_=v_sp_detail_page
Scroll down and there's a triple pack of 28G, 26G, and 24G 100 ft of each.

I'm partial to this cotton from Amazon as well. https://www.amazon.com/Koh-Gen-Do-O...rd_wg=vooti&psc=1&refRID=CRMGDF4H4QRDJ0JPJVYT
but I've also used these and were fine. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VSD8MT4?th=1

If you have Amazon Prime, it's free 2 day shipping.

@Eskie Why?! Like there weren't already enough choices! No amazon prime though. I think I'm the only one without it!

If my head explodes, you all know who you are that caused it

 

[Eskie]

Choices are good. Having lots of choices is paralyzing.

 

[drainbamage8]

Seriously though, thanks so much everyone. You all have made this so much easier and more enjoyable than trying to do it all on my own and I've had people to talk to! I usually just quietly read and don't talk/post, so this has been nice.

Well, I mean I have narrowed it down to ss 316l and cotton pads! BTW, do NOT type that in a CVS search box ever, just sayin.

However, I think the overall # of options has exponentially increased somehow!

It took me less than a month to want at least 3 sizes of wire! [emoji4]

I WANT ALL OF THEM! ALLLLLL. Or at least 2.. or 8 maybe.. so many places,so many options! I am definitely ordering some kind of ss wire and cotton from somewhere tomorrow, I don't care how many options all of you try and give me!

 

[drainbamage8]

Guess what? I have another question!

So, cleaning the wire, can I just use alcohol, do I need to use fire? (Too early, I honestly typed 'does I need to use fire')

I don't have a blow torch! I mean, I would love to play with one but I am a bit accident prone, and I mostly like having hair.

I do have fire sticks though, well, technically, they probably have another name, the ones you start campfires or grills with.

Though any way to make this less dangerous to me, the better!
