First of all, I don't recommend using an RBA on an eGo class battery. They do not have the amperage required to safely use one. You should consider getting either a mechanical, or better yet, a regulated V-V/V-W mod, that uses replaceable, rechargeable batteries.

Don't skimp on battery quality, use either AW or Panasonic IMR batteries. I also suggest using a Vape Safe or 2 Cent mod fuse. The more layers of safey you have the better. http://www.rtdvapor.com/online-store/batteries/vapesafe2-detail

You will need a way to measure the resistance of the coils that you make. I suggest getting a digital multimeter, or if your mod has a built-in atomizer meter that will suffice.

A minature butane torch is useful to oxidize your stainless steel mesh and wire.

Of course you'll need to purchase stainless steel mesh and some wire. I recommend getting two or three gauges of wire to see which you prefer for the coil that you will use for your RBA and whether you will be using a mechanical or regulated mod. The mesh and wire that comes in the kits are often inadequate or of poor quality, so order some when you order your RBA.

I've written a starter's guide for vapors considering their first RBA. It's not specifically a tutorial, but an information resource guide to educate yourself for the safe use of an RBA:

Don't know UK pricing... but in the US prices vary between 22.00 to 37.00 depending on demand and availability.. Most out of stock at this point over here. Most of the packages already come with a spares kit with 1-2 pieces of mesh ( maybe in both 400x400 and 500x500), enough length of kanthal wire to build 2-3 coils, and some spare replaceables like gaskets, screws, and possibly a spare pyrex/glass tank. Don't know how this may compare to stores on your side but I figure this will at least give you somewhat of a comparison.

Duh! I can't believe no one mentioned a multimeter! In order to build your own coils, you need something to be able to check the ohms of your finished product. Since you only have spinner batteries, you will need to to buy a multimeter. Absolutely a must have before you put them on any battery.

You should probably do some more research on this topic and watch some youtube videos. Watch them until you feel like you could build a coil in your sleep. Then order one and try it yourself.
