Check the OP mate, Vape mesh co or Stealthvape are good options, the former is cheaper off the top of my head. :)

E: Beaten by Tommy. :)
 
So - I'm getting my first RDA, and I've decided on the Mutation X v2 over the Troll. I tend to vape at .5ohms on my Atlantis - which gauge kanthal wire should I get? I was looking at 26awg. That should be sufficient? Also, where is a good place to get the wire and cotton without paying too much. I've found 26awg wire for £5.99 for 10 metres; is that a good deal?

Are you buying genuine or clone dripper? If your getting a clone get the v2 with the wide bore drip tip plus adapter to use a 510 if you perfer, the genuine v3 is pretty much identical but the wide bore drip tip isn't as wide.

I my self use 22g haha, but iv also I use 24g some times, 26g though will be fine, but a 6 quid seems a bit steep, I get my wire from the crazywirecompany on ebay I think it's cheaper for 10m Could be wrong tho it's that long since iv bought wire as I get 50m reels.

But good choice with the mutation x, iv got erm 5 of them :D the version 2 clones with wide bore drip tip and adapter.

If you can find wire cheap enough tho try some 24g aswell I can't remember where I got my cotton from off top of my head but I got it cheap 5er got me 10 bags of jap cotton pads and they are great I'll have a look for ya when I'm on my pc.

Also what mod you using to power it?
 
Damn beaten by both of ya. Damn iphone :D

Thanks guys for the links. IceShock - it was actually your influence that made me choose the Mutation X, as I've been following your comments and you seem to be chuffed to bits with it.

I will be using this with my Sigelei 100w. I think it will fire down to .15 Ohms. I suppose I ought to get an Ohms-metre as well.

Ordering now. This ought to keep me entertained until I pull the trigger on the Horizon Arctic! :-)

EDIT - Do I want twisted or regular kanthal?
 
Stick with regular if you are new to building imo.

Also I linked the Arctic at top of this page (I would wait tilll my epack get them in) just incase you missed it :)

I did see your links - thanks for those, and I am waiting until myepack has them in stock, as I already have an account there :-)

Thanks - will order non-twisted. I'm quite exciting about making this move into rebuilding, even though six month ago, I told a good friend that I'd never move on from my Nautilus + MVP2 combo! haha

I'm not sure which statement worries me more, Iceshock being an influence or you not having an Ohm meter....! :D

(just kidding Ice. :) )

As said, stick to regular Kanthal for now, get a few different gauges and have a place, you can always make your own twisted. :)
 
Lmao ya cheeky get :D you know you love me vr!

And get a ohms meter monkey, I suppose you can live without one untill your building crazy low or using mech mods as the sigelei has a ohms meter on it but it's not precise it rounds the ohms to the closest .05 but a ohms meter makes life easier.

With a sigelei 100w Id get some 24g aswell because you've got more than enough fire power there, also what battwries do you use? Ya want to make sure you use some good batteries I use efest 35a 2500mah in my sigelei

Let me know when it comes and I'll show you how I build and wick etc as its your first dripper did ya say? :)

You will love it tho.

What juice do ya vape aswell?
 
Hey! I've not needed one so far, although I'm picking one up. I don't want to blow my face off with a dodgy setup!

Just ordered 26 and 24awg from Tommy V's link. The rest (including the Ohm's metre!) has been purchased from Red Juice. Dan there is always helpful. There's another £100 spent on this "cheaper" alternative to smoking!

Thanks again guys - I love this little vaping community :-)
 
ive said this before, but if you like the mutation, then check out the "Infinite CLT V2 Plus", it blows the Mutation v2 away on flavour and clouds as well, and is under £30 for an Authentic RDA, maybe not as cheap as the Mutation, but then its far better too and just as easy to build on.

I grabbed the Mutation X v3 and was looking at the CLT. Maybe next month ;-)
 
So I mixed up my first batch of red astaire - and it's made me feel queezy to say the least.

VG based Nic72 coming out at 8mg (I kept it low as I'm using the 0.5ohm coil in my subtank) PG based Red Astaire at 10%. PG/VG @ 60/40

It's leaving a weird aftertaste that after continued use has me feeling a bit sick. Glad I only made up 10ml.

I'll make up another batch as per the T Juice website 80/20 with 15% of RA.

My subtank also leaked really bad this morning with no obvious reason why.

Strange. Let me know what mg's you used of each part.

What does the after taste taste like?
 
I followed the eLiquid calculator.

Nic - 1.1ml
PG - 5ml
VG - 2.89ml
Flavour - 1ml

It's like a rotten veg aftertaste - like biting into a sandwich and the lettuce has gone off. :) I topped up with off the shelf RA and I can hardly taste it now.

What did you do after mixing? Shake it? I use to let it sit in a sink of luke warm - hot water. Occasionally shaking for around 5 minutes or until water went cold. To kind of artificially steep it.
 
Needs to steep for at least a week tbh.

FWIW I just ran it though my calculator at 60VG and came out with this at 15% flavour as per their recommendation. :)

Does the PG or VG have a taste to it?

To be honest I don't really know the implications of the PG/VG mix only that higher VG gives a bigger cloud but can make the mix too thick. Is that right? Other than that I don't know any more.

My understanding;

PG - Holds more flavour, harsher on the throat.
VG - More clouds, doesn't hold flavour as well, makes for a smoother vape.
