Thank you Tam.  To be honest I thought this was only a place to ask questions and stuff. Never knew they had a Store. Thanks!!

Your mech mods are going to be limited by the batteries you use in them in conjunction with the way you build your coils.  It isn't that your mech mod "handles" certain ohms, it's that batteries have a limit.  I have seen guys build as low as .05 ohms and while I don't recommend it, with the right batteries it can be done.  Again, I don't recommend it.  Situations like that are why people win the Darwin Award.
Check out Steam-Engine like I recommended in my previous post and do some research on Ohm's Law to gain some insight into the relationships between amps, watts and volts.  I promise, it will all start to make sense.
As @FXRich mentioned in his reply, though, get an ohm meter and don't get a cheap one.  "Cheap" is relative, because you can get good ohm meters for $15 to $20.  Cheap in this case refers more to poorly made rather than price.

Steam-engine is a great resource, not just for learning about making coils, but for general information regarding Ohm's Law, battery safety and other things vape related.
Also, if you're an android user, check out Vape Tool, an app available in the Google Play Store.  I don't know if it's available for iOS or not.

Different people like different kinds of wire, some prefer Kanthal, others prefer Nichrome, personally I prefer SS 316L, but that's me. Basically what you need to get started is a coil winding tool, I like Coil Master, others may like something else, and you will need a good ohmmeter, don't go cheap on the ohmmeter. And you will need wire, the gauge wire depends on your target ohms.

Like ive said.. ive asked alot of people and they have no clue about the mod or the RDA. but its okay though it works like a charm Thank you all for the help!!!!
 

I have an original Twisted Messes 2, it does come in a knock off version. I learned to build with this one and it was easy. Nice big work area and it will take all kinds of builds. It is a pricey RDA, knock off is cheaper and just as good from what I heard. I got mine through a connection at a very, very good price. I would buy another.

I like that v2 version of the kit with the larger diameter jig options, the cutouts for batteries and the space for a small spool of wire.  I have the v1 version, which is still pretty nice.  I've been holding off on getting a v2 until I go to ECC this year.  I got my v1 coil kit at ECC last year for $20 so I'm hoping I'll be able to get a v2 for that this year.

Is that a mech? If so who makes it?

I assume the fire button is on the bottom..can you post a pic of it? Might be able to identify the mod..just a thought

Oh wow.
I don't think I've ever seen a mod like that that appears to have a concave type fire button..thx for the pic ..

That could be any number of mechs.  Except for the fact mine is copper, it looks just like my Arthas.  I'm going to assume there is no information on the firing button about the manufacturer.  If there is, take a pic of the firing button and one of us may be able to track down info.
The atty looks familiar, just can't positively id it yet.  In the meantime, take the atty off of the mech and look at the bottom.  Most manufacturers put some sort of id markings on the bottom of the deck.

@smacksy it was under $40  I  got it on amazon

How much did that kit set you back?

I bought the Coil Master kit It comes with everything needed to build your own coils

There are several basic ohm meters out there that are more than adequate.  Off the top of my head: Coil Master and Eleaf come to mind.  Coil Master makes a basic ohm meter and they also make the more advanced 521 Tab, which will also fire your coils for you to test while you are building them.  This one in the Vapor Talk store is identical to the basic Coil Master ohm meter.  I'm not sure if it's made by CM or if they are manufactured and then sold under multiple names, but it's more than adequate for learning the ins and outs of building coils.

What Mod are you using with your RDA

As far as ohmmeters go I would suggest buying a quality one..That said I paid about $30 for this one at my local B&M about 2 yrs ago and it's still very accurate..I forgot the name brand, sorry

I have lots of experience with RDA's but the only thing I don't know how to do is make coils and what coils are good. On the RDA i have now (honestly not sure what it is) i have 4 wrap 22 GA.  I need to get me an ohm reader though. Any tips on which one to get?
Thank you smacksy.  I will look into this RDA.

Welcome to VT

Sorry I don't know much about the derringer but the Dark Horse seen here has been excellent..paid less than $20 for it and a year later it still vapes great ..in fact it's the only RDA I use today ..

Make sure you do your research if you don't currently use an RDA and have only had minimal experience with them.  Safety first.  Good batteries, an ohm meter and some basic knowledge of Ohm's Law are all musts when using RDA's, even if those RDA's are on regulated mods the coils are pre-made coils.  Blatant disregard for vaping safety is most likely the leading cause of people ending up on the news after they have a battery go boom in their mod, in their pocket, in their hand bag or in their backpack.  There are many of us around here who are more than happy to chime in and talk you through things.
Of course, if you DO have experience with RDA's (beyond simply trying a friends), then hopefully you have already done your research and know the safety aspects.

Almost any Mini RDA is going to give you great taste because of the shortened height of the cap.  That being said there are going to be a couple of things that come into play with the recommendations you are going to receive:
1 - "Inexpensive" is subjective.  What is inexpensive to me may not be what you consider inexpensive or vice versa.  
2 - "Great taste performance" is also subjective.  What one person may think is great may only be so-so at best to the next person.  But again, almost any mini is going to give you a good flavor with the right build. 
3 - Some people may make recommendations purely based on their preferred post design - 2, 3 or 4.  The number of posts may ultimately play a role in which atty you go for as well.
If you are looking for a mini RDA that will give you the mechanical performance of something like the Derringer or Stro while providing great flavor, I would recommend taking a look at the following: Freakshow mini, REMatty or Royal Hunter (both the regular and the mini on the RH - the Stro is very similar to the RH full size).  The Freakshow and REMatty are both 3 post, the RH and RH mini are both 4 post.  All of them are under the $40 price range for authentics.  If you shop around, you can probably find all of them for under $30.
 

Welcome aboard,
 
I ventured into RDA's  with a mutation Xv4  It wasnt expensive at all. Its small but I dont know if its considered a mini rda
