Starting point.

[westy]

ive got a tfv8 tank...a little while to go and a few more threads and videos to watch before I start building my own coils but...is there a good quality starting kit out there with everything I'll need ie wire/cotton/tools ? I've seen a few but they look abit cheep...I'm after quality that will last ect.

I bought the coilmaster kit for the tools etc. It would have been cheaper to buy individual bits but I couldn't be arsed.
Stealthvape for my wire and cotton and don't forget the freeby section.

I've no idea how good the screwdrivers in the kit are, but these Wera from Amazon are top class. They're a bit long but you soon get used to it:

Very true. In the end I splashed out on a coilmaster 521 tab as well.

Will have to do the same...maybe just make up my own kit.

You don't need a lot. I just bought the coilmaster kit because it came "as a kit " so was handy and all in a tidy wallet / holder

Am yet to find a "perfect" complete kit, but to be honest, you don't "need" much - I started using a nail kit and the little blue screwdriver, and that worked fine for me!

My current kit started with something like this as a base:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/2524...3D710-134428-41853-0%26rvr_id%3D1083312338518

Then I swapped out the little blue screwdriver for the snazzy wotofo multi tool (was it m vapes that sell them?), and the tweezers for either my straight nosed ceramic tipped ones, or the small atty clamp tweezer combo thingies. Oh, and add in either a good pair of nail clippers or some nice flush wire cutters.

I would add links but one was hard enough work on the iPad! May come back and add everything in neatly tomorrow.

I don't use a tab, just use my regulated mods. Never had a problem so far.

Altogether far cheaper than a coil master kit and doesn't take up as much space.

I was thinking of getting the Coil Master V2 kit, but I think that's down to 1. I'm very new to building coils and 2. I'm a sucker for a "kit" .. Selling me this amazing kit, with all these shiny tools with little cutouts in the case for them! And probably a little naive about what I need/don't need!

Might have a look around and write up a little list pf essentials and order/go from there..

Can always use the money saved on more goodies.. Ha. Never enjoyed getting the mail so much!

I have heard that the old toe nail clippers are good for getting nice and close to the posts

But have to admit I am a sucker for nice shiny kits that have snug little holes for everything.
