I've been using the same bag of Labo Puffs for well over a year now, probably almost two(In May it will be two years, if memory serves) I got it from Amazon Prime, just make sure that you select a U.S.-based vendor or else it will get shipped from Japan and could take a week to 10 days.
I've had great success with these-there's no "fresh cotton taste" and the fibers are well combed/aligned which greatly assists with wicking, be it regular or Scottish Roll technique.
fasttech is pretty expensive for that. you can find good cotton with free shipping directly from japan at amazon (for half the price). Puff, Muji, Koh Gen Do ... all good stuff.

I tried most of the fancy stuff (cotton bacon, fiber freaks, nameyouroverpriced cotton) and in the end I am super happy with Koh Gen Do. Do not fall for the marketing blabla...
First off, general rule of thumb is to not use anything with "fire" in the name. I'd recommend Samsung's 25r as far as batteries go, and they have a continuous max amp rating of 25 amps which means you can build safely down to .17Ω. You can get them from here for $6.80 each.
For a charger, I would recommend a Nitecore i2 (found most places for <$16).
I used cotton for a while until I switched to Japanese cotton and now cannot go back. Here they are $7.45 for a lifetime supply.
As far as CLOUDS, .75Ω on a mech isn't going to get you very far unless you use a thin gauge wire. Toy around with several different gauges of wire to find out what you like. Also, this is the coolest tool for starting out on mechs before you learn to do the math in your head.
If you're going through a shit ton of coils a month then I'd honestly look into getting an RDA. They give out 100% if not more flavour than a tank. You'll also use a hell of a lot less juice. You don't really need nic salts in them either which I personally prefer and consider safer.
Downsides though.
Everyone talks about the effort of building a coil but meh I bought a pack of 42 pre-made super fancy ones (coilology 7 in 1 kit) for 12 quid. A coil will last 1-2 months. Single coil RDA's are the best tasting ones too btw, dual ones just make more clouds in my opinion. Recommended ones are the Asmodus C4, Cthulu Cthulhu Mjolnir and the cheapest but somehow still really good Wasp Nano. Some of the RDA's are a bit restricted like the C4 but no where near as much as a pod kit. So google for reviews here on reddit for ones your interested in. They're usually pretty honest here.
You do need to rewick them. Some people rewick once a week some people everyday. It's a personal preference. However one pack of these organic Japanese cotton sheets should last you about four years if you rewick every single day. (That's not an exaggeration btw). Wicking isn't hard. You cut a strip about 3-5mm in diamater. peel the outside bits off. Roll it a bit in your hands then put it through the coil. Cut ends off and tuck into the "tank". You don't really need to fluff the ends if it's not an RTA.
Either you drip or spend more on a squonk mod. There's roughly three recommended dual battery squonks (second thread) at the moment. They're bulkier by about 50% to a normal battery mod because there's a bottle for eliquid roughly the same size as a battery on them. Singles pretty good but obviously you get half the battery life...
Personally I just drip though, you have to carry around a bottle of juice with you but hey who doesn't do that anyway. For that you just tip your bottle down your drip tip squeeze and go. Squonks are cool tbh though. If you decide to drip you can obviously use any mod you want as long as the RDA you picked fits on it.
RDA's are a bit more effort. However you use a ton less juice and you actually get that amazing flavour everyone else is talking about but somehow you never seem to taste...
Also you never have to worry about breaking the glass on an RDA, I drop my shit all the time and they're pretty resilient.
They aren't for everyone though, if you cba with the effort, extra weight and bulk compared to a pod system and all that. They aren't rocket science to use though if I can do it anyone can. You also don't really need a full coil making kit either (often it's easier to get them as a set though) and pre-made ones are cheap, bigger and better. You need a few parts. A coil jig is useful for when you insert your prebuilt coils. ceramic tweezers because when inserted you need to strum your coils to get rid of hotspots. Scimitar Tweezers because you too should accidentally stab yourself with the bastards like the rest of us and they're good for wicking. Wire cutters to cut the ends off your coils once installed. Oh and a pair of scissors to cut your cotton. You can get those cheap as chips on Amazon or on fasttech.
As said it's a bit more effort but you'll save a fortune in buying coils. Using an RDA and bottle shots as a lazy mans DIY vaping costs me pretty much nothing. About 20 quid a month at most. £15 quid on a 500ml bottle shot. About £2 worth or less of the 500ml bottle of 72mg nic (£36 ish) that you can still legally buy (just pinky swear you ain't using it to vape). Then about 1-2 quid worth of PG and VG. That lasts me 1-2 months.
Cotton Pads are always the best, inexpensive purchase.
I just got these ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000TCEXOS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 )a few days ago, and they are 100% organic and work wonderfully. Cheaper than Goh Ken Do as well, you get about 200 of the things for less than 15 bucks!
That list looks solid to me. Personally I would ditch the cotton bacon and just grab some organic Japanese cotton from Amazon for way less. https://smile.amazon.com/COTTON-Organic-Cotton-Large-Pound/dp/B000TCEXOS/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1527720441&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=labo+organic+cotton
Also if you are already getting a 521 tab mini + tool kit, consider just grabbing the coilmaster v3 kit which has the tab in it + tools.

It's just basic Japanese organic cotton but it has little no break in time. 5 bags for 25 dollars will probably last you a decade. I haven't used it since pod systems became a thing but back then it was all I used. In the 3 years I drip I probably bought 3 bags but I re wicked 3 times a week.

That's a good choice, if a little pricey. I go with the organic japanese cotton pads from amazon, they're basically the same thing and you get a huge amount for very little money.

I suggest this cotton on Amazon, large organic unbleach cotton pads for $5.5 for 120 pads:
http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000TCEXOS?psc=1&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00
Looks like a very good set up to me! Try getting 26ga and 28ga wire. You can get both with different length options here.
As for the cotton, I use organic cotton balls from CVS, but these cotton pads are also good. Find a screwdriver set at the dollar store and some tweezers or needle nose pliers and you're good to go!
These work great: http://www.amazon.com/Cotton-Labo-ORGANIC-Puff-120pc/dp/B000TCEXOS/ref=pd_ys_sf_s_rp_a1_3_p?ie=UTF8&amp;refRID=17WA6RXCHJAS8F8YA6ZQ

Here you go
Seems I can't either right now. I'm on my phone though, which makes it much harder to navigate amazon.jp for some reason.
I have bought these before as well and I really like them. Cheaper than the Muji ones, but same good quality and they are also organic.

And FWIW, I agree with OP. Used all the rest and this is my preferred wick material.
I played around a bit tonight, I think the most important thing is not packing it too tight since it has some distance to wick. I've been using this cotton which is this stuff on Amazon and half the price of koh gen do Japanese cotton that everyone raves about. Compared to my previous walmart and walgreens cotton balls, this stuff has zero taste from the first vape and wicks really well. My first two builds I was a little overzealous with packing, tonight I put in just enough to barely fill the gap between the center post and the triple 30ga BicknDalls coil, and it is absolutely awesome. I have 6 different filled builds on my desk and have been vaping nothing but the cats all night. Thanks again!
Tools: Coil Master kit - all the tools you'll need to get started. The coil master jig itself is great and those scissors are really sharp, I've been looking for more of them to buy as backup and to leave around my house/car for various needs. But seriously, just buy that kit. All the tools in it are good quality and I use almost all of them every time I do a build. You can also find it on Amazon for a slightly lower price. The only tool that I use all the time not included in that kit is this screwdriver for the hex bits.
You'll want to get wire and cotton, no word yet on whether those will count as a tobacco product, but you can stock up for cheap, I've started buying from Lightning vapes via Amazon, hard to beat a 250ft spool for ~$10. Get some Nichrome (NI80), Kanthal and Stainless (SS316L).
Start with 24 gauge kanthal and 26 gauge nichrome and SS. Get 50-100 feet of each - it's cheap and will last a long time. Use Steam-Engine's "coil wrapping" tool to figure out how many wraps and what diameter you'll want, for example if I have 24ga Kanthal, dual coil, and I want around 0.5 ohm resistance and 2.5mm diameter, it says I should do 12 wraps. Reality might differ a bit, but it's a good guideline.
As for cotton the 3 most recommended ones are Koh Gen Do, Muji, or Puffs. I've been meaning to try Rayon as well - yes, that's really the stuff you want to buy. Almost everything marketed to vapers is a gimmick and is often the same products as these, repackaged and marked up. Any performance difference won't be worth the price.
You're probably going to want a new mod since that 40 watts won't be enough for most RDA builds. There are always tons of threads here about the best mod and batteries. Basically for 18650 batteries you can only trust LG, Sony and Samsung batteries, and there are many fakes. Two trusted vendors are IMRBatteries and Illumn. I wouldn't trust vendors selling through Amazon, or Chinese vendors. They aren't always selling fakes, but the risk is higher and there's less recourse if you do get fake batteries. You should also get some spare battery wraps and positive terminal insulators to have on hand in case you tear one of your battery wraps. In a few months, those too may be regulated as tobacco products.
Chargers are often overlooked, I think the best you can get right now is an XTAR VP4. People also like the Nitecore D4. Both will show you your batteries capacity and charging status and let you adjust the charging current, and will stop charging the battery when it is done. The VP4 has independent charging slots as well so there's no risk in mixing different batteries.
Everything you need to know for building has been explained better than I could, visually, countless times on YouTube, just look up videos explaining how to build coils on RDAs. Once you start doing it, it gets relatively easy. It requires a lot of patience and can be frustrating at times but it's also satisfying because once you've made some beautiful coils you get to enjoy the fruit of your labor.
As someone said, the STM (Subtank Mini) comes with .5 and 1.2 ohm coils. The sub-ohm coil (.5) needs more power for the same vape quality as the 1.2... but the retail packaging comes with a little card inside that actually shows the included coils and suggests the wattage range to vape at for each.
And yes, all included coils will be Kanthal wire, which means you use power mode on the mod, not TC.
TC is for Ti (titanium) and Ni (nickel) wire. If you eventually get into rebuilding the RBA that came with that tank, and used either Ti or Ni wire for your coils, then you would use TC. Some mods also have SS mode for stainless steel wire.
Ti or Ni should never be used in power mode, only in TC. They can change properties and off gas some unhealthy elements if the temperature of the coil gets too hot. TC prevents that.
And Kanthal is always power mode only.
If you want to buy ready-made coils and just wick them as you suggested, you will pay a lot more money than buying a spool of wire and making your own coil. There are countless YouTube videos for learning how to build... and even for building on a specific tank.
As for cotton, Japanese organic cotton (JOC) is the standard wicking choice. Koh Gen Do is popular but expensive. I (and many others) use organic facial puffs (also JOC). This bag from Amazon will last nearly a lifetime and is $5 and change, shipped. http://www.amazon.com/Cotton-Labo-ORGANIC-Puff-120pc/dp/B000TCEXOS/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1465108703&amp;sr=8-1-fkmr0&amp;keywords=organic+cotton+facial+puffs+120+count
If you just want to buy ready-made coil heads for it until you get into building you can do that too. But they aren't cheap. FastTech has them for about $1.50 each. https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10014705/2568000-replacement-occ-coil-head-for-subtank-mini-v2 (that's the 1.2 but they have the .5 ohm too).
I love the Subtank. Enjoy!
The W6 is a bit wasted on an MVP2. You'll only realistically be building single coil setups until you get a more powerful device, so all those extra posts are just kind of going to get in the way.
Even with the 15% off coupon you still end up paying a premium on everything there.
If you don't mind waiting a week or two for epacket shipping from FastTech, plus a couple of things from Amazon, you can get a lot more for less money.
1:1 Stainless Stillare clone - $11.15 from FastTech, including wide-bore drip tip
TEMCo Kanthal A-1 30ga 100ft - $5.65 from Amazon
120 sheets Japanese organic cotton - $9.74 from Amazon.
That's $26.54 total. That leaves you enough money to toss in a good mech clone to your FT order and pick up a couple of high-drain 18650s from wherever, completing the setup.
I also highly recommend picking up a pair of flush cutters like these which are absolutely indispensable when rebuilding.
I have been using Puffs for years with good results.

I got these a while ago, should last a lifetime. Free shipping from Japan, took me about 2 weeks to get here.
Cotton Bacon is great, but this stuff is even better, and you about 10x as much for the same price. (Also available here if you don't want to get it as an add-on at Amazon.)

I used to use that but got a little paranoid because it's bleached. I ended up buying some unbleached organic labo puffs. It's cheaper and the same as Koh Gen Do.
Picked mine up from Amazon pretty cheap link
As /u/rakeleer said, use steam-engine.org to figure out how many wraps and what diameter will get you to a target resistance.
As far as wire thickness goes, in simple terms, the thicker the wire (lower the gauge), the more wraps it will take to hit a target resistance. E.g., to build a 1.0ohm coil at 2.5mm diameter, 28ga kanthal will take 5-6 wraps, while 26ga kanthal will take 9 (# of wraps may not be correct -- just going from memory, but you get the idea).
For cotton I use the following: http://www.amazon.com/Cotton-Labo-ORGANIC-Puff-120pc/dp/B000TCEXOS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1426525137&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=japanese+cotton
It's an add on item, but you'll get free shipping if you add it to any qualifying order (just needs to be sold by amazon) of at least $25. There are also other options on amazon that are not add on, but they're a bit more expensive. You can also purchase kanthal on amazon as well, with free prime shipping if you have that.

He probably has 40 of these in his closet: http://www.amazon.com/Cotton-Labo-ORGANIC-Puff-120pc/dp/B000TCEXOS I remember the days when I was so careful about not wasting cotton.
A velocity clone is probably the best place to start, really easy to build on with the two post design.
Wire depends on what you're looking for really, maybe get some premade coils of the more complex stuff such as claptons as well if it's you're new to making your own coils.
For cotton these will last you a lifetime and a half: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000TCEXOS/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1452739283&amp;sr=1&amp;keywords=organic+cotton
Good luck!
As much as I like Amazon, I'd say from what I've seen, there are entirely too many clones. It's probably safe to not shop for authentic atomizers and mods. Get your Japanese cotton from them though! Cotton Labo ORGANIC Cotton Puff Size L (120pc) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000TCEXOS/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_fKAAwb64H8FPA
I've been using the cotton Labo for ages, it's cheap, it's organic Japanese cotton, and I can't tell the difference between this and all that fancy cotton. https://www.amazon.com/COTTON-Organic-Cotton-Large-Pound/dp/B000TCEXOS/ref=sr_1_2_s_it?s=beauty&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1503790097&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=ORGANIC+Cotton+Puff+l
I've tried Rayon (didn't like the taste), Cotton Bacon tasted funny to me, so did "Cotton Candy". Native Wicks was good, but I could tell little difference between that and the cheap stuff.
Only thing I wouldn't want to use again was the ultra cheap organic cotton balls. They don't wick well enough for my purposes.
Should I go for the large or medium?
If you don't mind the wait, I really suggest getting the Puff Organic Cotton. My boyfriend and I have had our same bag for a year, and still have a quarter of it left. It's some of the best quality we've used.
https://www.amazon.com/COTTON-Organic-Cotton-Large-Pound/dp/B000TCEXOS/
I always use the Puffs Japanese Organic Cotton, cheap and works well. You get like a lifetime supply for $5. You'll see most of the reviews are vapers haha.

More noticeable in a better or worse than regular cotton way? I got this brand off Amazon and I've seen many posts saying it's one of the good ones to use. I didn't boil it like I did with the balls, might that be the problem?
grab some puffs/labo cotton: https://www.amazon.com/Cotton-Labo-ORGANIC-Puff-120pc/dp/B000TCEXOS
It's cheap and extremely effective, imo it's the same stuff as koh gen do and muji but for a more affordable price.
Temco wire and Cotton Labo Puff japanese cotton makeup pads. It seems like you pay a premium for buying stuff that's marketed to vapers, rather than just buying the same stuff that's not.
Aspire Nautilus BVC lover here.
Kayfun Lite 2019. No juice flow fuckery. Adjustable air flow. Great flavor. Easy to build. Low price high quality clones available.
Buy yourself a spool of 28 gauge kanthal and some Japanese organic cotton pads. These will last at least a year.
I bought these: http://www.amazon.com/Cotton-Labo-ORGANIC-Puff-120pc/dp/B000TCEXOS/ and thought it was worth the price. $10 and it will probably last a year. I find it easier to work with too, you can just cut perfect strips at whatever size you need. It seems to absorb better than regular cotton. It doesn't expand like regular cotton so you have to keep that in mind when wicking and wick a bit tighter than you normally would.
