If you're starting with an RDA I'd suggest some research into what you want and what you can do as far as airflow. Using an RDA requires good airflow or you're going to get a very harsh hit. Do you want one that has adjustable airflow or are you okay with drilling it out yourself? Before you start buying any supplies, make sure the first thing on your list is a dedicated ohm meter. That's very important to make sure you're safe. Do not rely on an APV to read ohms of a coil correctly and accurately. Next is the wire. 28, 30 and 32 gauge A-1 Kanthal is a good start. Organic cotton is a popular choice for wicking material. High VG juice with lower nic level is also another thing you'll need. For example I regularly use 12 mg nic at 50/50 when I direct drip with an atomizer and also use in my tanks. In my RDA I use 3 or 6 mg nic, 20PG/80VG. If I don't drop the nic and increase VG, it feels like my throat's getting ripped out and I get way too much nic at one time. Other things you may need are tweezers with insulated grips, drill bits or a Qcoiler to wrap your coils, good eyes, nimble fingers and lots of patience. A good mini torch is very handy but not entirely necessary. Good luck!

Love my Reo. It is the only mod I use anymore! There is nothing to break, no coils to flood, gurgle, leak etc etc. If it leaks it's your own fault. Rob offers quite a few bottom fed attys now on his site. As far as those unfamiliar, these are milled from a solid block if aluminum, dam near indestructible. Bottom fed, from the juice bottle by squonking it. Mechanical mod that takes 18650 batteries. All the flavor of dripping, without the hassle. Here's a few pics of mine Next to my dna30 Reomizer

I said I would wait until I got a mod, but couldn't wait. I got my Kanthal in today. 26, 28, 30, and 32 ga. I don't have a mechanical yet so I wrapped a .9 ohm single coil on my TOBH and wicked it with organic cotton. 7 wraps of 26ga on 2.8mm. At 11 watts on my MVP it is amazing. It doesn't put out clouds, but flavor is too good. I never dreamed that my juice would taste so powerful that it is nearly off putting. I know that is a stupid complaint...too much flavor, but that is the truth. I don't have any low nicotine juice, so I am using my 24mg stuff. It is a little strong but it works. I now see what all the fuss is about! OOPS! I meant RDA in the Topic.
