Rebuilding Tools

batteries

• 20A CDR (like the Samsung 25r's)
• Battery Basics for Mods - The Ultimate Battery Guide

Charger

• Get the best charger that you can reasonably afford. Statistically most battery incidents occur while charging. Pila, xtar, and Nitecore Intellicharger are the most recommended brands. I have a Nitcore Intellicharger. Works well. Next time I'll be getting a xtar VP4.

Wicking Material - Take your pick

• Organic Cotton Balls
• Rayon (Cellu-Cotton) - Sally's Beauty Supply
• Japanese Cotton Pads (Koh Gen Do/Shiseido) - Sephora/Nordstroms - I use these.

Other Tools

• Ohm Reader
  
• Coiling Jig (not necessary BUT very handy)
• Accessory Screwdriver Set (can be used to wind coils and tighten post screws.
• Ceramic Tweezers (not needed but nice) or Tweezers
• Needle Nose Pliers (to squeeze the coils together nice and tight)
• Wire clippers and/or Nail Clippers (to clip the ends of wires)
• Scissors (to cut cotton)

If you wanted to purchase all of these "other tools" in a kit, check out Coil Master.

• Coilmaster 521 Tab & DIY Coiling Kit v2 From Coil-Master
