why re-wick a kanger evod? doing so will produce a more flavorful and plentiful vapor. and save money.
i do not replace the coil wire at all. just the wick here is how its done.
these are EVOD / Protank I II and Protank mini II coils
the long tube on top will come off just pull it apart from the base
the top 2 "favor wicks" will just fall out but the wick inside the coil needs to be gently pulled out. the round thing in the center of the gap is the coil...
take your new wick and put a drop of e-liquid on the end of it and twist the wick in the direction that compresses the fibers well pushing gently into the coil, basically like threading a giant sewing needle. this pic is taken with the wick half way in the coil, after it is all the way in you want to check the spacing of the coils and make sure they are not to far spread out or touching one another. i use a small sewing needle to move the coils around if i need to fix the spacing. the gap in the center of the coils should be a bit wider than the rest. look for this gap when you take a new coil apart and you will see it.
put your flavor wicks back on top side by side, if you like. you don't need to use the flavor wicks but i like to leave one flavor wick in.
then push the top tube back on and trim the wicks (nail clippers work great) so they are flush with the base. after i trim the wicks i like to squeeze each end of the wick towards the center of the coil gently. this helps get the wick in contact with the coil.
you will need 2 mm wick and might want 1 mm wick (1mm is for the flavor wicks) i get my wick from this vendor Lightning Vapes - All the RBA Materials you need! Silica Wick, Ekowool, Kanthal Wire, Stainless Steel Mesh and more!
also i torch my wick with a butane torch before i install it. torching it until it glows white will remove any dust or skin oils and insure a good flavor every time.
here is a video of a 1.8 ohm coil re-wicked with one flavor wick in action. i drilled out the air flow holes on this EVOD tank to 2 MM.
