Istick Pico RTA Help

Thanks. I also looked at this just now, just not sure yet how this RTA thing works and what parts I must get here if available to make that tank keep working. https://www.gearbest.com/rebuildable-atomizers/pp_360262.html?wid=1433363

Forgive my ignorance as I know nothing about RTAs, but I'm just wondering why you don't ask for assistance and advice here in SA before ordering something which might not be suitable from overseas? I'm not criticing - I'm just curious. PM @BumbleBee (owner of The Vape Guy). He would surely be able to help you.
 
Ok so I went to vapers Corner and admitted to them that the unit I bought, I bought before reading all the specs and if it actually would fit. So the one nice lady there suggested the Berserker Mini Mtl RTA with no pay in, did the whole setup for me and showed me how, put some juice in for me and I bought extra cotton. Was a very nice experience. I can admit the Berserker pulls a bit harder than my standard tank, but it gives a more accurate feeling of smoking a cigarette, which I was aiming for, and the flavors I taste now are so much better.

Yeah I know, I am just so new to vaping still, with everything, this site and so, im falling all over the place. But getting there. Also BumbleBee, I know that name from either ptawug or Carbonite.
 
Now you need to spend another R350.
R250 for this, so you can build and wick your own coils with and ohm meter

And R100 for a roll of Ni80 or ss wire.
Then you sorted.
Yeah that R250 kit looks very nice. I just wonder, will the NI80 fit in the Berserker Mini? The coils I got with it looks thin lol, but yeah will surely opt for better coils down the line if I can.

Congratulations meneer, great little rta and good to hear you are enjoying it. It itsthin chances are it’s 28g, if in the beginning you have to use commercial coilsthen do so, untill you are happy that you can coil and build.

Enjoy and many happy clouds to you!
 
I still don't own a coil making kit or an Ohm meter. I have drill bits, small screwdrivers, cordless drill that I use for making clapton wire and my Luxe to check resistance.
Yes you dont need a kit. But its difficult to cut the coils feet with side cutters, so you will need that little cutting tool. Thats R100 if you buy it seperate. Then its good to have ceramic tweesers to press the coil together while hot and no chance of a short on your mod while doing it. Thats another R100 if you buy seperate. So for 50 mandelas more you get them both, with a ohm meter and a 1tool to build different diameter coils, and a pouch the keep them all in

Ni80 is just the type of wire, nichrome, you can also get kathal or ss, stainless steel. You can buy them in all kinds off thickness. 26 or 28ga will work in the beserker
