All Supplies I may Need

[VaporHead512]

Looking to get into rebuilding. Probably going to start with a phoenix (easy to rebuild?) and a ZAP. I'm going to take my time, don't worry.

Would y'all be kind enough to compile a list here for me to reference when I start buying all the supplies I'll need in my new rebuildable journey, and preferably where I can find and buy the items?

Thank you so much, in advance.

Keep in mind that the ZAP comes with 12 pre oxidized wicks and some 32awg kanthal wire. It should be enough to last quite some time. Although if you want to tinker with different setups, i would suggest getting some different grades of mesh and kanthal. Elite vapor works has 25 ft of 30awg kanthal for $3 shipped. And The Mesh Company out of the UK has many diff grades of mesh. Shipping is very quick to the states.

I cannot comment on the phoenix type, as I have never used any dripping rba's.

Good luck!

Thanks. Also, little things like tiny screwdrivers, should eye get a glasses repair kit? Maybe a military grade blast shield, magnifying glass, things of this nature haha
