How to re-build on the NEW Kangertech Vertical Coil head !!

[Gahh]

I could not find anyone that was showing how to get the new Kt. vertical coil apart. So I asked at the local vape shop and he said its mounted through the bottom some how.
The first one I destroyed and never got apart but a week later I figured it out.

At this point I removed the positive post and rubber insulator. Than gutted the old coil and wicking.
With the round silicon seal removed from around the bottom of the coil I screwed the coil on the cheap coil building tool.

With electrical tape over the plier teeth, I turned ever so slight and pulled at the same time.

And this is what it looks like when separated.
I love the hobby of re-building and wicking but I don't really care for this new design.
I built a vertical coil in this one as I do with the old coil heads but this new design takes up a lot of space and my usual 4.8mm coil wrap & wick is a bit tight after fitting it in. The older heads have more room for a large diameter coil and wick.

This is the masonry bit that I found works great for the coil in the old heads. Although I fitted this size coil and wick into the new coil head, the operation didn't go smoothly, and maybe a bit tighter than I would like.

Hope this helps with any ones curiosity about the new Kt. vertical coils.

Thanks for sharing! I have managed to ruin one of these so far trying to take apart but will be using your method very soon. Could you possibly post some pics of your rebuild on it? Fairly green on vertical coil builds as I've only done like four on an rda. Interested to see/learn the build method on this.

Hope this link gets you to another post I set up with pics on a vertical build in an Kangertech RBA.

Ohh, LilWhoiteClouder , these coil heads are a be atch to build a large diameter coil and wick it properly.
Check out this other post I just put out here. Hope this helps you.

Thanks man, been debating on a subohm tank, just got the kanger with the occ's. I hate just buying new coils. Rather stock up and build em. Of course!
I had seen some posts with the horizontal ones where the top comes off, didn't realize the verts weren't built the same way. Lol glad you figured it out.
So, are the old, horizontal ones good for vert coils too. I'm trying to figure out which ones to stock up on.
Thanks man

This will show you about building vertical in the old OCC heads.. Their better than the new heads, more room.
Hope this helps you out

Thanks man! Helped greatly. Sorry it took so long to thank you. I'm using the coil gizmo, so I don't have anything to screw the new coil version into to get them apart yet. But I'm digging the horizontal heads for putting verts in. I've ripped out like 4 of em without using them to rebuild! Thanks again
