Rebuildable Atomizer Tank question

[pg2000]

Hi,

I was looking to get into rebuildables, AGA-T+ Rebuildable Atomizer tank
being the one I'm looking at now. My question is was other things should I order with it? Like wick and wire and anything else I'll need for rebuilding and what's a good place to buy the stuff too. I know I'll need a meter to ohm them out and check for shorts. Thanks All!

You will need a multimeter a good one on eBay, Amazon or radioshack etc.

SS Mesh, Kanthal or NiChrome wire, you can get that from discountvapers.com and various other vendors. Try getting a sampler pack with several different resistance wires. 30 32 34 is a good starting point.

You will also require a few but not strictly all:
A butane Cooks torch, lighter, paperclip, drill bit, thick embroidery needle and a dental pick.

I'm sure there will be more than enough suggestions soon.

This is what I ordered yesterday.
AGA Tiamat PLUS - Rebuildable Atomizer

and this
Drip Tip - Stainless Style # 1

Then I went to RTD Vapor and bought.
Wick and Wire : 500 Stainless Steel Mesh

and this
Wick and Wire : 100 ft Kanthal A-1 32

I already have a meter I bought from RTD awhile ago. I bought the $9 one.
Meters

I really don't know what I'm doing yet so take it with a grain of salt.

oh ya i bought a butane torch and fuel off ebay too

Just received my first rebuildable this week. An AGA-Tiamat plus, like yours. There is a current, ongoing thread here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/rebuildable-atomizer-systems/369429-has-anyone-tried-aga-tiamat-plus-w-glass-tank.html. Very detailed info by experienced users, and recommendations on what video demonstrations to view. Here's a couple:

The AGA-T Set-Up and First Impressions - YouTube
and
Z-ATTY-PRO Rebuildable Atomizers For ProVari - YouTube, both worthy of your time.

As far as what supplies to stock up on, the AGA should come with some wire and mesh to do your first setup. There are recommendations for additional wire and mesh from suppliers within the above thread.

You will likely need a nice multimeter Meters . I had no current way to oxidize my wire and mesh, so I need to get one of these butane torch's yet http://www.walmart.com/ip/Master-Appliance-MT-51-Open-Flame-Master-Microtorch-2500-F/21188988?findingMethod=rr

I already had a dental pick tool and some very small size drill bits to use to help wrap the mesh wick and adjust the wire coil for hot spots.

Wow, thanks for the quick replies everyone! The people here are great! Loooks like I need to sock a few more bucks away in the e-cig piggy bank to get all this stuff, but not much this stuff is cheap.

If you have a Harbor Freight store near you, you can get this pick set to adjust the coil for $1.

Trying to figure this out as well...incoming RBAs, first go with them.

Well, it took me a bit, But I ordered two IGO-Ls and two AGA-T+ RBAs plus wick, wire and a ohm meter. Still have to get the torch but I can get that at walmart. I figured I would start with the IGO-L to learn how learn the basics and then move on to the AGA-T. Thanks for all of your advice.
