Hey guys, I have a very busy week ahead of me as the markets are getting hammered... Need to do some major hedging in my portfolio, so I won't have the time I usually do for major searching.

I'm now into rba's! I'm using a cheaper style Genesis but have a Z-Atty-Pro on order through a buddy of mine.
I am now only using Mechanical mods. I currently have the KTS mod and I believe it is at 3.7 Volts.

I believe that 28 Gauge wire will be the best for me to keep OHM's lower.
What is the best quality wire and where do I buy it?
Secondly, I believe SS mesh will be the best quality to use as well.
What is the best quality Mesh and where do I buy it?
Lastly I heard I could use a volt meter to double check ohms after a build. Where do I get these?

I'm mechanically inclined..... Don't know much about wire's ETC.

Please steer me in the right direction!
Thanks a ton guys.

28 gauge with 4 wraps on my rsst gives me .8 ohms. genesis atomizers give a cooler vape so most will prefer a lower ohm to get a higher wattage. But sub ohm coils aren't as safe as a coil 1 ohm and up.

A lot of people like temco or jacobs wire, you can find it on ebay for pretty cheap aswell. As for mesh I've been getting from okcvapes, they have a 12x12 sheet for about 10 bucks.

I suggest you read up and watch videos on building genesis atomizers. Im just getting into the groove of setting up and diagnosing hot spots. It's a pain in the ... to learn but well worth the effort I think.

get wire at temco supply. great place with a wide selection and good prices. get A1 kanthal (temco is usually the biggest seller on ebay also, i prefer to give them, not ebay, my money)
TEMCo Industrial Power Supply

okcvapes and steammonkey are where i get mesh usually. there are others a buck or two difference for 40 wicks isnt a big deal to me so they get my vote.

a cheap multi meter at harbor freight/home depo/radio shack etc.

if your using a provari it has short circuit protection and a resistance checker built in.
