Rebuildable tanks?

[Radon860]

I know this should probably be in the rebuildable section but I'm still a member and it's sort of a new member question.
I really know nothing about rebuildable tanks and am curious about them, what exactly can be changed with them and where would I buy the stuff?
And how do I know what's safe to use with them and what isn't?

Hello and welcome to the forum Radon. Glad to have you here!

1. A rebuildable is a tank/dripper (RDA/RTA) that you build your own coils for.
2. To use one you need to learn about battery safety, Ohm's Law, amp limitations, etc.
3. They can be purchased in most vape shops, online vape stores, ebay, etc.

If you have a variable v/w mod usually your manual will tell you how low an ohm coil it will fire. If you are using a mech mod then the batteries you are using will dictate how low you should build to be safe.

Well I have an Evod VV as my battery and I'm currently using a JustFog 1453 that says it's rebuildable.
It's not much different than most other top coil tanks but is about 4 pieces.
And would I be able to put longer wicks on it or not?

Well most "ego type batteries have a 2.5A limit. Many members rebuild their Kanger bottom feeding coils at resistances that the "stock coils" come in.

Are you going to be "rebuilding" i.e. wrapping a new coil with Kanthal wire that you buy and then wicking with silica?

Well I was using 1.8 ohm coils on my Evod tank.
And I'm not really sure about that second thing with Kanthal wire and silica because like I said I really know next to nothing about actually doing that stuff.
I'll probably check out some Youtube videos on it

If you can't find any videos on your rebuildable look for a CE4 or CE5 (those are both top coil clearomizers). See if either of these look like your coil. If they do then you use that as a guide for rebuilding.

If you rebuild you will need to purchase:

1. 30 gauge Kanthal
2. Silica
3. Ohm reader (to make sure your coil is built at the correct resistance). 1.8ohms would be good.

All of these can be purchased at Lightning Vapes or at your local vape shop.

to ecf Radon860. So glad to have you here. I found a YouTube video on a rebuild. It is in Dutch but I watched a bit of it and the important part is you see what he is doing. Hope it helps.

There maybe be others too on YouTube. That is where I get most of my help because it makes better sense when you see it being done. Good luck to you.

Kanger Pro Tank 1 and 2 are easy to rebuild. Lightning Vapes sells all the goodies you'll need.
