You may want to read through this thread: I won't buy it, I don't think the added cost is really worth the hype.

Jason's words are very wise... and he makes great recommendations too.

I went to my local B&M and checked out the AR mechs,put my RDA on it and let it rip.I loved it,felt good in hand very heavy and robust.the ramp up time was very quick compared to my Nemesis.I'm definitely getting one

Could you provide a link to the one you are looking at? I have read that there are certain ones that do not have a standardized 510 connection and only work with the RDA in the kit. That wouldn't be such a terrible thing if it was a good RDA, but the problem would be checking your ohms. It wouldn't fit a standard vaping style ohm meter. You would have to have a very high quality digital volt/ohm meter to test coils. It looks like a quality mod. I would be mostly concerned with the floating 510 connection quality and the paint/coating on the threads. I don't know what the inside of the button looks like, but Infinite clone looks like a quality piece. It might require a little work to make it hit hard such as cleaning the threads and possibly upgrading the switch to magnets. (if it isn't already) The EHPRO version is said to not have any coating on the threads. I am obligated to say to do your research, read all the stickies, buy an ohm meter, and ask questions!

I also forgot to mention that you are welcome to come back here and ask questions. There are many great people here that are willing to help. When it comes to mechanical mods, making your own coils, and doing it safely, there are no dumb questions. Mechanical mods are very simple, but, they require a lot of attention from you to use them safely. The reason they work so good, and are so (possibly) dangerous is they have no safety. Improper builds can at best ruin equipment, and at worst cause injury. I am not trying to talk you out of using them, I just want you to be aware of how careful you need to be!

I recommend you read and study this page: It will give you a basic understanding of why volts, ohms, and watts matter and relate to each other. Here is one on batteries: You are correct. The first thing you need is a good ohm meter. It is mandatory. Wire and wick: I bought a spool of 32ga 30ga, 28ga, and 26ga each A-1 Kanthal I get it from Temco. I really only use the 26 and the 28. Wicking i use organic cotton balls from the drug store, and rayon from Sally's beauty supply. Then use these calculators to help you calculate your coils: http://www.steam-engine.org/coil.asp http://coiltoy.ermeso.com/ I would recommend a small precision screwdriver set. These are great for the screws on the RDA and also winding coils on. Small drill bits work great for winding coils too. You might also consider a coil winding jig, and a micro torch. They just make things easier. Kanthal comes pre-annealed from the factory, but torching it makes it a bit easier to work with. The coil jig wastes a bit of wire, but it is very easy to make pretty coils. Oops, I forgot you will need some small pliers, tweezers, and clippers to trim wires. For batteries, I suggest the 18650 Sony VTC3, VTC4, or VTC5. Be very careful where you buy them, they are highly counterfeited. Here are 2 very trusted sites: http://www.vaportalk.com/product-category/ecig-batteries/ecig-mod-batteries/ http://www.fadoravapor.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=16_54 There are many other batteries out there. Many of them will work fine, but when you are first starting out I would recommend sticking with name brand, and trusted suppliers. Don't forget a good charger. I like the Nitecore brand. I don't have enough experience to help you much in the area. I only have 2 types. I use the Tobh clone, and the 454 Big Block clone, both work great. They both are not the best for beginners. The Tobh has to be modified, or build off center for airflow. The 454 uses a ring for grounding and can be hard to build on. I recommend YouTube and watching RipTrippers and Pbusardo's video. I think they have some beginner videos.

Thank You! We always appreciate the positive feedback. Our main priority was bridging the store and forum together creating a "streamlined" experience. Now we can focus on bringing some new features to the site, some of which I'm really looking forward to pushing live For now though though it's Turkey time.

Better find some wood to knock on... I see you making use of those 10 replacements real soon
