Clearomizer that is simple to rebuild?

[Sunshinefl8788]

I am spending a small fortune on new clearomizers...I want to learn to rebuild them but I don't know which type would be simple...I am making an order from altsmoke.com and I see they have some parts for clearos but I don't know which clearo goes with which part. I have only been vaping for about 5 weeks and so much to learn. I am sure it is probably simple once you are familiar with the different parts but right now it might as well be in a foreign language. Most of the clearo's I have now came from a local vapor shop and the bottom screws off so they are simple to take apart, the link below shows a picture of what mine look like....could you tell me which part I would need to buy to rebuild these? If these are too complicated I don't mind buying new clearo's and new parts...whatever is the most simple for a beginner and would save money in the long run. Thank you

I own a few,
The bottom screws off and you have a silicone piece that holds the wick in place.
Pretty easy to clean.

Yes they do clean pretty well but after a while for me, they start to get a funny flavor even after they are cleaned...what method do you use to clean yours? I also have a problem with the draw being really tight...can't get any vapor from them.

Well
I suggest taking the canister out and taking the atomizer and just soaking in coke or water.
That's what I'd do.

You may also want to check into the Kanger T3, if you can find them. They're bottom coil clearos compared to the top coil you're using now. They wick a LOT better than the top coils IMO. Since the head is basically built the same way, just in a different location, it's about the same as what you have now when it comes to rebuilding.

GIMike, I looked at a few sites and they are all sold out...I will keep my eye out for them. Thank you for the suggestion

@WandaH, The vivi novas and the Rebuildable Stardust (what you pictured) are extremely easy to recoil and wick. You just need a device or meter to check the resistance of your coil. I use both every day and recoil and wick them every 4-5 days. It's the same process for either.

This video taught me Vision Vivi Nova, Part 2 - Changing Wick (COTTON) & Final Impressions - YouTube

You just need to get a roll wire. This is what you need:
100' A1 Kanthal 32 AWG Resistance Wire for RBA | eBay

and I prefer using cotton balls to make my wicks. It's the best taste and hit I've found and they're sterile so i dont have to boil them before using them.

In the video he uses a needle to wrap the wire around the wick, I find a tooth pick works better and gives the proper amount of room for the wick. you should be able to move it in the coil easily.

I have been enjoying my Vision V3 tanks from altsmoke. Have 7 total tanks...keep a few in rotation. Recently went with rewicking with cotton. Amazing.
