Getting into rda

I currently have the smok tfv12 and I'm really not too happy with it. I mean I like it but idk it seems a little off to me. I am looking to put the tsunami by geek vapes on my smok h-priv mod but not really sure we're to start. I already have cotton bacon but I didn't order the rda tank or the coils yet. Could someone please help me build a bad ass cloud chaser build for my h-priv and the tsunami tank?

ok first look up ohms law and understand it
by understand i mean learn how many amps your battery produces, so figure out what the lowest ohm you should build on your device that wont draw more amps then your battery provides
OTHERWISE YOU CAN GO BOOM
use steam-engine.org to do the calculations

then find a simple to use rda
a recommend a petri clone off ebay. usually about 15 bucks
good flavor good clouds and CHEAP
and easy to use

next decide - build the coil yourself or get some premade wires
premade wires can be had cheap on ebay and other websites. you can actually find variety packs so you can try multiple types of coils for cheap (twisted,claptons,aliens, etc). then when you find what you like you can start making your own and experimenting in diameter and number of wraps to change your ohms - just make sure you know the safest build you can us ewith your mod and batteries so YOU DONT GO BOOM

next learn how to wick - watch youtube videos of the rda you bought

then experiment from there

That's the best way imo. Watch a lot of videos and read a lot of tutorials on websites until you figure out what to do.

Totally agree with this. That is how I started. I would recommend watching basic coil building and wicking videos and start with making your own coils before buying exotic low resistance premade ones. That way you will understand how different wire types, gauges and wraps affect resistance etc.

I personally think the tsunami leaks way too much. I would advise a goon RDA. But if u have to use the tsunami put on some prebuilt coils at around 0.13 ohms. Alien builds are really nice

Think the consensus is to learn from the doing. You can watch videos as guides and they are helpful. Beyond that you really need to put a foot in the water and start swimming. I will also stress getting some good understanding of Ohm's Law & Battery Safety. Look up Mooch's Battery Safety Blog posts on Electronic Cigarette Forum, he's the in the know man for that information. If you run into trouble or questions as you move forward, come on back here and ask. Otherwise, all we can do is troubleshoot at who knows what you got for now. Experiences teaches us all and once you begin learning you probably will not stop, it also helps us learn as well, sometimes us 'older dogs' can figure out new tricks from 'newbies'. Don't try going the other way though unless some 'old dog' can hold your hand a little, until you take your own wings. Eventually, what i am saying will make sense to you. ;) *chuckles*
