battery and atomiser questions

[samp1590]

i bought my first mod and rebuildable atty today, the atomiser's a SMOKtech Octopus and since buying it I haven't bothered rebuilding it at all, having never done it before. Any tips for my first build? And can I use cotton wool? I've seen it used in attys like the Omega or Trident but i cant help but feel this is a slightly different concept (I don quite know why) Also i don't know wether it's safe to subohm on my battery, I have a TrustFire TR 18650 2400mAh 3.7volt battery and from what I've been told, subohming it could blow my face off (literally)

In your order did you also buy an ohm meter?

[samp1590]

I don't have one myself yet but so far I've used a friends. I tried using my itaste VV to read it but it comes up with utter bullcrap.

You never want to us a mod to measure your coil's ohms on a build, they're not always accurate. Always use a separate ohm meter. Time to go shopping!

Thanks! To eBay I go...

Don't buy it from ebay, stick with the trusted vendors! Best to buy something this important to someone you can trust and know you'll get a quality product.

Got my ohm meter from eBay lol. Its spot on too.

But then again I only by from 99% approval rated vendors with square trade insured.

Oh i know I'm not soft enough to go and buy one without looking at the seller ratings and all that stuff lol.

Samp, if you're gonna be sub-ohming, get a couple Sony vtc4 18650 or MNKE's 18650 batteries as well. I've read too many horror stories about trustfires and subbing. The word "fire" in their name says it all.
