Show us your secret atomizer " must have" tools

[anavidfan]

I was thinking about all the junk Ive amassed since getting into this vaping way of life.

Im constantly finding weird objects and tools. I find myself jumping like a girl that got given " the Ring"
when I find a drill bit or pair of pliers....

I thought it would be fun for some of the other fellow tool enthusiasts to share things that make your rebuilding or mod maintenance easier.

This is just a taste of some of the tools I NEED.

anavidfan,
What's that spatula on the right & what do you use it for?

 

[anavidfan]

I remember what its for, its basically and expensive cocktail stir stick, Swizzle Stick ?. Its used in labs to stir liquids and chemicals etc.

I use it for some of my mods that have a screw that has to be loosened from the inside and since some tubes are longish I use it as a flat head screw driver. I also use the round one on my GP X to adjust one of the screws gently.

 

[anavidfan]

I guess I should list some of the things .

left to right, large tweezers, then some nylon brushes for cleaning coils, curved pliers for removing c-clips from some switches and holding wire.
Various tweezers, more brushes , these made of stainless steel. Then a dental pick for oring removal and what not, and the spatula thing. Now I remember, thats not a surgical instrument, its a ss stir stick . I thought it was something else.

No, I think you were close. The flat is for transferring powdered chemicals, to a scale for example.

I need more DIY juice stuff but shipping is a pain, Cap wanted like 75$ for shipping on around 60$ worth of flavoring...

I'd have to say out of everything I use a mini Coleman torch gets the most use.

I will have to take a look at those. I bought a real cheapie from ebay over 2 years ago, it recently stopped working. I got 2 new ones but they changed the way you turn them on and I cant get them to flame.

Ive been using one of those big blue semi disposable propane tanks that a contractor left. It works great, but a bit cumbersome and sometimes too hot...

Besides my wife's PayPal account...shhhhhh...

I have a larger one also but that doesn't like small gauge wire. The Coleman one I have doesn't like to ignite so I usually have to do it with a lighter. They are refillable though so there's always that.

No picture I'm afraid, I don't like to share my amazing coil building secrets, but I will give a clue...

You might use it to drive screws.
Oh, and another item...
You might use this to clip nails.

Shhhhhhh! Don't tell anyone.

LOL, made me think of this weird clip from a weird show I love.

My 3" vise, less than $30 at Harbor Freight. My husband mounted it to a short length of 2x12 2x6! (I don't know much about board measurements!) for me, so I don't gouge my kitchen counter. As soon as I got this, coil mounting got 500% easier, not having to chase the stupid thing around the countertop. Mounting it while it's attached to my Omnitester is no solution, because the Omnitester isn't very heavy, I'd have to chase THAT around the countertop.

Tweezers, mini screwdrivers, coil master, sprue cutters, cuticle scissors, etc. but my one 'must have' is my magnifier head gear.
