What do you guys think ?

My final experienced build, please note if im doing something wrong with my setup.

Sigelei 50 Watt Box And cotton 94$
Plume Veil 29$
Three Vtc5 18650 X3 42$
Charger i4 Nitecore X1 27$
28,32 kanthal 3$
Battery Case X1 3$
Drip tip from cherry vapes X1 10$
juice from Mt Baker Vapor 100$ (506ml of ejuice)
TOTAL : 308$
This build should last me around a year and a half unless i dont break it xD
The ejuice should finish in 5-6 months or not. BTW ganna be running on 1 ohm with 32 gauge kanthal (dual) or 28 gauge kanthal (single).

I know the box mod will measure resistance and detect shorts BUT I'd still suggest an inexpensive multi-meter if you don't already have one.

+1 on the multimeter. Harbor Freight has them pretty cheap.

I dont think id need one, when i went into mech mods i might aswell pick one up.

You can pick one up from any home improvement store, hardware store or even Wal-mart for less than $30

+2 on the multimeter

Depending on the Plumeveil you get it will come with a drip tip and I would suggest using that one as it fits the delrin top better. I would also look at picking up a second atty so you can work on one and still have one in for when you need a puff. Plus it will allow you to experiment with different coils/wicking

Also maybe in a month or so, pick up different gauges of Kanthal so you can tinker and find that perfect build for you.

It's up to you. I'm just making a suggestion.

I have two box mods that read ohms and a slue of mech's.... I still use my meter to check resistance and for shorts before I put it on any devise.

Woldnt the segelei 50 watt have those protections ? If they do then why use a multimeter ?

Habit, I guess. A double check. I dunno?

I was building coils for my mech's before I got into high watt box mods, so I guess it's just a habit now. Plus, I trust my meter over the box mod.

If there is a difference in the readings I know I have a problem somewhere. It's probably "over kill" but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

are 3 batteries ok ? and also is my charger good aswell?

Yeah, I would say 3 are ok. Just depends on how much you vape really.... how fast you run one down. I always keep a spare in my vape bag. The charger... I have the same one and it's never given me any problems. works great!

do you agree that the d4 is a waste ?

I don't know that it's a "waste" but I don't have any use for it. The i4 has worked great for me.

Because electronics can fail in the most fantastic, unexpected ways. Using a multimeter is as much for your protection as it is for the PV.
