Started in Oct last year with a cyclone rba, reo grand, and mvp 2.0 . Memorized ohm's law, looked at the max amp rating of my battery, Watched a couple of youtube vids on making coils and after a few feet of wire and a cotton ball I got the hang of it and been dripping ever since. I knew I was gonna be vaping for the long haul so I skipped all the cig-a-likes and beginner starter kits.
