What exactly is involved with rebuildables

So many options, so many opinions. It takes time to find what's right for you whether you talking about juices, tanks/drippers or mods. Your wallet has a say in it as well lol.

Do you want clouds, flavor or a little of both. Do you like an airy draw or do you like it tighter. Dripping is less convenient than using a tank IMO. Although experienced drippers don't think so. I'd rather not drip and drive.

A rebuildable is the way to go. If I can do it anyone can. It takes a little time and practice before you get it right but in the long run it's worth it. Less money spent on manufactured coils and much better flavor.

Go for it!!

I suggest starting on the rebuildable road in a fairly simple fashion. Most atomizers can be opened, you'll be able to see the coil and wick. Get some wick (either order silica rope in a few different sizes or get cotton balls and, if you like, unbleached, undyed cotton thread/yarn) and start by replacing the wicks. Finding the right wick size/setup will solve most gurgling issues.
Make sure your coil doesn't short by touching the walls, that can be really bad.
When you've got wicking down, build coils to fit in your atomizers. Make sure they're sturdily in place, and test them with an ohmmeter (you can get ohmmeters built specifically for 510 with an ego adapter for $5-$20 on many sites that sell rebuildables).
Read up on Ohm's law, and always make sure you're well within your battery's limits.
When you've got coiling down, get a deck (an Igo-W is an easy dripper to work with) and play with it.
When your deck builds come out great, and you know what kind of coils and wicking you like, get one with a tank (Kayfun/clone, Fogger, etc.)

Of course, all of this is just the direction I've gone. Most of all, work it the way it works for you. There are lots of great guides to rebuilding here, so put in plenty of research. A Provari (1,2,3 [there's already a 3!?]) is a great device, anything with a genuine DNA chip should also be great. If you want a cheaper introduction to VV/VW, the MVP 2.0 is a good device, but won't get you to sub-ohm.

I tried to migrate to RDAs on an MVP. It worked, barely. I also had a VTR, 15w, better, but still no joy. Just got a Sig 30w and it VASTLY improved the RDA experience. I'm only running it at 18w on a dual coil 0.7 build; no massive clouds, but very satisfying.
