No! You can probably buy kanthal at a vape store, or even have them make the coil for you. Best place to buy kanthal is online though

Moving to coil area, there are some great threads in there about coil material

just go to your local vape store and buy some kanthal. explain that you are new to coil building and ask them to show you how. its fairly simple. once you get that done check out some videos on youtube and get some kanthal from online. just make sure you build battery safe builds always.

oh and as far as gauge a good starter gauge in my opinion is 26 gauge kanthal. that works very good for basic coils.

In addition, if you don't have a regulated mod, get an Ohm reader too.

oh yeah definitely get a ohm reader i just assumed you had one . if you are using a mechanical mod what type of batteries do you have?

Check out http://www.steam-engine.org as well, especially in the coil build part, in the bottom left corner, click on "how it works". It explains more regarding heat flux and heat capacity, which comes in handy, in order to control the warmth of the vape.
