Thinking about getting into dripping or rebuildables, or possibly both...

[onebadtwo]

Id like to get into dripping...
The idea of building coils sparks my interest a little too...

Should I get a rda? Will one work OK on my MVP2? Which one or ones would you recommend to a beginner to building and dripping both?

Then I also wonder if I should just get a 510 or 306 dripping atomizer to get accustomed to dripping before adding the variable or building my own coils...

What would you do if you were a beginner???

Thank You
Curt

I used a rba on my mvp 2 for a while - it was actually a pretty nice set up. Was running an Igo-l 1.8 ohm micro coil with a 3/32 airhole. I likes the way it slimmed the size of that mod down. IN addition. A good plave to start would be the Igo W. It has a nice build deck, Holes in the posts. Easy to build on. The only thing I found with my MVP2 is that some of these products had like a micron shorter 510 connection. I raised mine out of the mvp2 a few times to get a solid connection.

I would say get into a RDA first before a RBA, Make sure you have a Ohm Meter tho the mvp wont first sub ohm like other various AVP

Do your research on RDA though

um... by "RDA", you mean what, exactly? The "D" stands for "dripping".

Woops forgot to edit that part out. Just came back from chillis, In a bit of a food coma right now

Totally my bad Lol

Go for a good factory made dripping atomizer to start - 510 or 306. The act of dripping sounds cool, but it can become a chore. I would try it out and get used to carrying juice and having to drip throughout your day before laying out the dosh on new gear that commits you.

Happens to the best of us, brother. Myself, I'm prone to the Chipotle's fugue

Building coils and setting up a dripper isnt hard, get somthing like a igo w, nimbus, trident. They are easy to build on. Grab some 30 ga kanthal and look up how to make micro coils. With 28 ga I believe 14 wraps on a 5/64 drill bit will get you 1.5ohm, you will have to crank your mvp to max for good results with this. so 30 ga would be better IMO.

Get a multimeter to test the resistance of your build, it will also tell you if you have a short.

There's RDA, RBA RTA..lots of acronyms.

I recommend starting with something small like the Octopus (or smok RDA) its a nice little basic RDA, the stock airflow is pretty junk but if you drill out another airhole on the other side of it..its truly a great vape It turns a 10 dollar rda into an rda i would pay 20-25 for. I've been vaping on it for the past day or two just because I saw it sitting in my vape shelf and figured i'd build it since I have it.

Another good setup would be something in the IGO line. I love my IGO-W..its another great vape. It has dual coil capabilities but I enjoy just building a single coil and vaping it.

I'll go ahead and give you some links and prices to some rda's that I would recommend.

The Nimbus RDA

The nimbus is out of stock currently, but you can find them at other vendors. These are all great starting points and you don't have to spend an arm and a leg. You can buy kanthal on ebay for relatively cheap (I got 100feet of 30guage today for 6 bucks w/free shipping).

Wicking material is another thing you want to consider, there are multiple materials that can be used. Silica/Ekowool/Stainless steel mesh/organic cotton (or cotton boiled)/hemp ect. A quick search using the ECF search tool at the top right of the page you should be able to find a nice thread with explanations of each. I'll see if I can locate that.

There are a good amount of videos that explain how to build as well. It really isn't that hard to build, it just seems a bit intimidating at first.

Edit- Your mvp has the capability to fire on ohms down to a believe 1.3. I am using a 1.4 ohm build on my mvp right now at 10.5 watts/3.7 volts and it is hitting like a true champ. Remember to read up on some basic ohms law and try starting with 30/32 guage kanthal wire and then go from there, they are the easiest wire to work with and provide a higher ohm/per wrap. I really hope this isn't a lot to take in, once you start reading and whatnot you will see it's not as hard as it looks/sounds.
