Addicted to vaping! My first RDA build

[Ebartky]

hi all just trying to get to my 20 posts to be verified figured I would share my first build.
Got my first basic vape pen from fuzion vapor (amazing store and the best juices around btw) on New Years and quit the cigs cold turkey. I have worked my way up to my first rda which is a tugboat v1 from a friend. Then I purchased a coil building kit and put together my first build. I used 26 gauge kanthal 5-6 wraps on each coil and came out to .45 ohm on the reader. Then I wicked it and crossed my fingers. I was very pleasantly surprised by how well it vapes for being my first build. Any input is appreciated and welcome. Looking to purchase a dual 18650 mod now so I can up my power output for my new Toy (rda). Just wish I could afford a hexohm v2.1 right now but sadly I can't

Nice job.

Thanks, I did have a good teacher and watched many hours of video before I attempted this. Plus I had a mini rba to play with before but had never wrapped my own coils before.

I LOVE rebuilding.

Congrats!

One of these days when you get tired of drippers try out an RTA.

My go to Vapes are Silverplay Nano Ohmega Nano, and Kayfun Monster Mini in that order.

I left drippers for RTAs because of RDAs leaking and the convenience of an RTA.

Hi and welcome. Well done on the coil build. I remember my first one that worked well. Once you get verified, you might find a good used Hexohm on the classies.

DITTO! Nice build. Welcome to the Vaping Journey! Looks like you are off to a great start. It looks like you used cotton? Experiment with KGD (Koh Gen Do) if you haven't already and see if that enhances the vape for you. Potentially (depends on you) KGD can retain more juice so you may not need to drip drip drip as often. Also, KGD may enhance the flavor for you.

Good luck!

Thanks for the replies. I was considering ordering KGD cotton after watching rip trippers I probably will soon. I am interested in RTA's as well for the convenience at work and such so I will check out your suggestions!
Thanks!
