Hi guys,

I found this sewing kit and had an idea, I turned it into an rba emergency kit.

This is what I bought.

No wire(I carry 2 KFL+'s), but cotton(I have had to re-wick a couple of times) and the little screwdriver that came with one of the KFL's are in with my backup mod.

What do you carry it in?

What do you carry it in?

Sorry for the slow response. I keep my backup mod(a Kato Hammer clone), along with cotton/juice/backup KFL(which has a second flavor in it)/ and spare battery in a little neoprene pouch that came with a digital camera, but just switched all of it to the case that my Kato Square clone came in.

Now I remember why I use silica wicks.
In 5 years (4 using RDAs) I've never had the need to do an emergency rebuild.

I don't carry a rebuild kit anymore. I used to, when I first started building. But as I became more confident in my builds, I cut back on the stuff I carry when I'm traveling, even out of town or state. I carry a couple mods, extra cotton, tweezers, cuticle scissors, for re-wicking, juice, and batteries. I've never needed to build coils, while on the road. The only time I've ever blown a coil, is when initially setting it up. Once I have a set up done, I have had coils last for months. I just clean and check them, when re-wicking.

If I'm gone for a weekend I take rebuild backups, otherwise not, but sofar have not needed to rebuild on the go,I carry an extra mod ( REO) as backup

I haven't had to do much more than rewick an atty in quite some time. Luckily, I pretty much only have coil problems when I actually recoil. Burnt wick, ... can't always say that.
