What are you currently using? I'm not into rebuildables, yet. However my atlantis on a 30 watt device blows some pretty good clouds.

how involved do you want to get?
Do you want to rebuild your own coils or use something that uses premade coils?
do you want something that has a built in battery or something that has a battery changeable by the user?
do you want a device that can charge the battery via usb port or one that requires and separate charger?

Now these, these are the real questions!
Not on a stick battery they don't.
10-15 bucks for a decent battery.
20 bucks for a decent charger.
10-20 bucks for a decent atty.. think doge or darkhorse or some others that have a cuff style cap.
5-10 for various wires.
15-??? for a decent mech clone mech mod.

Well do you wanna jump right into building coils or not? Cuz depending on that answer I can tell you where to go from there!
yes plz that would be great I would like to build my own coil

PMed you!
I don't think it's too far off - I'd personally recommend 2 (or 4) batteries, and maybe go up to $15 for 3 spools of wire at about $5 each (maybe 24, 26, 28 gauge to start), otherwise spot on.
My $16 FT Nemesis was my favorite out of all the mechs I've used to date, and I've had zero problems with my $10ish FT Mutation X V2 clone, or a handful of others I've bought in the $10-15 range...
EDIT: And add in another $2 for some cotton balls or $15 for a lifetime supply of rayon...
Kanger sub tank and a good 30 watt mod like an iStick, or a Sigelei.

10.99 per vtc 4.
14.99 for a tobh clone atty
free nemmy
10 bucks for a chuff cap.
??? for how much wire is used in it.
?? giant bag of cotton balls.
19.99 for a nitecore charger.
I could break it down further but meh cotton and wire are cheap.

Yeah I'm just not a fan of having all clone everything, I prefer quality and plus a tobh isn't the best for clouds either
the stock air flow is kick ass starting out, it gets you to inhale correctly without choking yourself out.
Once you get there with lung hits to chase boring it out is simple or stepping into something differently.
Honestly I have pitted this current set up against an authentic nemmy it has less voltage drop than the one pitted against it.
Nothing wrong going clone instead of blowing chunks of money on something you might not like.

Oh trust me, I prefer my FUhattan over my authentic Mahattan anyday but I can't bring myself to buy clone RDAs, there's just no point honestly

Just buy a Aspire Atlantis, Aspire CF Sub MOD or something like a IPV3 mini. Buy some 70/30 juice and have fun.

This is what I went to when I wanted to step up from weak clearos -
Subtank on a Smok BT50. I think the 65 watt version of this mod is like $50 now and the subtank can be found for $35-40. I'd highly recommend a subtank mini it if you want to try building and have not done so before - you can use the stock coils or swap them out for the rebuildable deck easy as pie. That way when (*not if) you jack up your first coil builds you have the stock coils to vape on
Obviously not the only way to go but IMO it spanks the Atlantis

subtank for better flavor than the Atlantis or Atlantis for better clouds. IMHO that it doesn't SPANK the Atlantis like said before. There is a reason the Atlantis is reviewed so highly in EVERYWHERE.

I recommend being new to it, to get a regulated device such as a Sig 100w or something of that nature. You don't need an unregulated device until you know Ohm's Law and battery safety.
Go with an Affordable Authentic such as a Mutation Xv3 or a Doge v2

Being a noobie to cloud chasing please be careful with the suggestions you get and PLEASE know what your doing, there are many many things to be aware of when using some of these builds and multi battery mods. Members also be aware that by the sounds of it we need to educate the OP in safety first above all else as anyone is when first starting off.
Note-I still everyday impress folks with my simple Istick and T3D tank with massive clouds....LOL, carry on~

Aspire Sub Ohm Battery and a Kanger Subtank Mini. Done.

Do not get an RDA and unregulated device without knowing what you are doing. That's the biggest thing. Safety safety safety

Well you will need an ohm reader if you wish to build your own coils as well as 24 and 26g kanthal. Know the specs of your battery and what it can handle. For the RDA I would say either a Dark horse would be nice, and a Eleaf 50w or Aspire CF subohm. Do your homework and make sure you know what you are doing, safety is everything.
Could just go slow and work your way up.
I went from a cheap stick battery -> iTaste SVD + Nautilus tank (1.6 ohm @ at 10, then 12 watts) -> Sigelei 100watt + Atlantis Tank (0.5 ohm @ 20, then 30 watts) -> RDAs on the sigelei 100 watt (0.14 - 0.5 ohms @ 50 to 75 watts depending on the setup).
Each step offered more airflow, better taste, and learning about what could be tolerated. Just jumping right from a cheap battery to an RDA could be cheaper, but isn't really that efficient in terms of learning or getting used to it. Each step requires your throat to get used to the increase in vapor production and thus the amount of nicotine you get per hit. Otherwise you could end up coughing a lot, getting a nicotine overdose, and/or barely using it. An undesiireable effect might even make you dislike vaping since it could feel like too much to tolerate. I've seen heavy smoking coworkers curious about vaping end up in coughing fits from trying an RDA setup for the first time.

Tank setup is the first step for sure
