You need to know how to make a coil and wick it, many a great video on YouTube, and tbh, the troll v2 is a very forgiving and simple to build on RDA, deck is huge with a simple velocity post layout.
If you plan on getting into building I'd urge you to invest in something like the coil master diy kit, it will make life a heck of a lot easier

Yeah I will need to get my hands on one of those kits for sure...
Still rolling it back and forth in my head, dunno what to do yet

its well worth it, it comes with a couple of premade coils which are pretty good at ~120w.
and a definite second vote for a coil master kit, it's not strictly necessary but it makes things so much easier it might as well be, add a battery drill, some fishing swivels and a bench vice and you can make anything you'll need for practical use (ie not fancy braided stuff)
just chuck in the pre-mades to start with, check their balanced (dry fire it and check both coils glow even and orange at the same time), wick and go.
only downside is you may no longer be able to see anything if you vape in the house

Or just buy some pre made coils from Amazon or fasttech.
Then just a case of putting them in and threading cotton through the coils and bobs your uncle.
With an rda you drip juice into the coil but with troll v2 rda, you have a pretty deep juice well.

Ok cheers Gee, hoping its not posted into oblivion with the lack of updates
Yup, I have been putting this off for way too long due to nothing but laziness. gonna order the nic/pg/vg from darkstar tonight and get some flavour concentrates from flavourart. I am that big of a fan of fruity vapes i prefer biscuity flavours more. Do you have any recommendations? I suspect these sorts of flavours are harder to get right? Might be a better if i try and get a fruity flavour right first, as you say, they don't often need much steeping.
Also, yes your post does need to be made a sticky

What premades are the best? I like cloud and flavour, either or really, mostly flavour, sick of my TFV8 tasting like a horses rear haha.
Saying that I need some new liquids but like end of the month issues...
What website should I get the Troll V2 from? Where is cheapest basically, if someone could provide cheap, nice (pref nice) liquid site, Troll V2 site, Tools for coil building and then some good premade coils it would be massively appreciated
God damn the troll v2 is out of stock in a LOT of places!!
Stick a post up here before you commit to buy, there are a select few vendors which claim to be UK based but are in fact shipping direct out of China (longer shipping). Speaking of which, if you can wait a while (circa 6 days for in stock items) buy via fasttech for a large discount.

I can wait, I get paid on Friday, you think Fasttech is best?
I placed my order with Fasttech on the 7th of Feb. I noticed the ETA date keeps getting pushed back 7 days. Hopefully they will have some in stock soon.
Which model did you order can you link it?

The included is just a simple twisted pair, but what kind of coil you like is up to you, personally i'm quite liking this 26/32 fused clapton build i have in atm although at 150w battery life is nonexistent. Building your own the sky is the limit although a simple plain coil can be pretty solid. Cant help with premades (well, pre coiled really, you still have to wick them) as i do me own coiling.
Tools wise a coil master v2 kit from the rainforest is a good start, it'll have all the winding jigs, tweezers cutters and pliers you need. A good quality hex driver that goes down to 1.5mm at least is a good shout too (although most stuff will come with its own tools, the troll comes with a 1mm hex, 1.5mm hex and small philips) if you only wanna do pre mades then tbh a decent set of pliers, a decent set of sidecutters and some ceramic tweezers will be all you need.
If you do wanna build your own though then optional kit would be a small bench vice, personally i use a rolson clamp on variety which is decent enough for this sort of thing and can be had on the rainforest and if you want to go into making your own clapton wire then some fishing swivels and a battery drill makes all the difference (check out youtube "fishing swivel method" to see what i mean). But this is only really if your wanting to build your own coils and wire from scratch.
As for which version to buy, the 22mm is ok, although the 25mm is obviously bigger (i have the 22mm, thought i'd ordered the 25 but really it isnt lacking for space even on the smaller one) and colour goes without saying whichever you preferr (or can find)
The only other thing to mention is wicking, theres a myriad of methods and opinions out there but here's what i do: cut a strip from the sheet slightly wider than the coil (like 3.5-4mm for a 3mm coil), hold one end and roll the other real tight to make a "tail" to push through the coil. Once its through check tension, there should be some but less is more with wicking, you'll get the feel after a few tries. Cut off the tails at either end leaving just enough to tuck down and touch the bottom. Then soak the whole lot in juice (make sure its finished "sucking up" juice) leave for a few mins then try it out.
Apart from that its just experiment, mess around, find a setup you like and stick with it or constantly try out new exotic wire builds is up to you.
Personally - I would, a quick look shows a 3-5 day lead time on it being dispatched from there delivery (UK epacket) will be approx 6-7 days to your door, you could buy 2 for the price most UK vendors have them listed for
I have the 25mm and love it, though I'd consider my self quite an experienced builder so I often use the extra room for beefy coils, the 22mm should be ideal to start out with.
By all means buy premade Clapton wire etc... By the spool, learn to wrap it's probably the easiest part of building and lets you customise your build and vaping experience, check out wireandstuff, you'd get enough exotic wire to last a couple of years for £20
I should have time on Sunday, I'll make a fasttech using/buying guide as I plan to make a purchase or two for payday.
Go to this page on fasttech: https://m.fasttech.com/search/0?keywords=Wotofo+troll+v2+rda+
I ordered the top version, black 25mm.
As for premade coils. I got the demon killer pre made coils, alien and stapled clapton both from fasttech. Cheap as chips for a pack of 10.
If you don't fancy those then I picked up these ones from Amazon; https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01CYPGOBM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_1OmRybX67Q2T0
