Wasn't really sure where to put this. Sorry if it's the wrong section.
I want to start fixing my coil and wicks myself, rather then go buy new heads, which is like 4 for 15$ or something at my local B&M. Some people say cotton works fine for the wick, others advise against it. So I'm just wondering what materials would be the best to use. I'm using the Kanger EVOD clearo, if that affects anything.

Thanks and vape on! :vapor:

I'm going to go with FastTech PRE-MADE COILS AND WICKS................. Found 199 Pre-made Wires and Wicks for Atomizer 50-Pack at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

My old eyes and shaking hands make winding my own coils a pain in the patootie. These are ready to install -- are inexpensive -- come in various ohm ratings and are available in "welded resistance wires" and straight "wire (not welded).

There are many Ya'll Tube videos as well as superb instruction here on ECF showing disassembly, coil and installation and testing. I'd bet they would be just what you need. Others will agree others will disagree ...... but for ME they will solve a problem and it won't take me hours to wind a few coils and jam the wick inside.

Check 'em out at the above link. Many are shown so if you look scroll around.
The pics below may or may not be sufficient size to see assemblies. If not you can see them on the FT web site at above link.

OR ........ you can buy the replacement assembled coils your B&M charges a fortune for: http://www.fasttech.com/search?EVOD replacement coils

To avoid the wait from FT you can find these coils online as well. These are $7.90 delivered so close to the sellers sponsors here on ECF when shipping is extra. Some dislike E-Bay but this seller of Genuine Kanger products and as honest as the day is long: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kanger-EVOD...739?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cd859d943

Maybe not what you are looking for - but viable and easy alternatives.
