Rebuilding the aspire

[Dac311]

For those who wanted to know about rebuilding and/or cleaning the aspire head, here's a video. He says that you can't dry burn because you'll probably end up burning the rubber insulator. But if you're looking to save a little money and you're willing to rebuild, here ya go.

Thanks, but IMO it seems like a lot of work when the price of a new head is under $3, then again, I think they should be 5 cents.

It's really not that much work. And 5ft of kanthal is $2 at my local vape shop. You could probably source it much cheaper if you looked. And a pack of steril cotton balls is about $3. So for $5 you'd get 6-7 wicks, and these will perform much better. In all honest most of the time you can just pull out the cotton and rewick, still using the wick that's already there. Plus that pack of cotton balls would probably make about 50-75 wicks. That 6-7 was just for the kanthal.

Plus there have been people asking about rebuilding/cleaning so I figured I'd share.

Awesome i was looking for this since i like to rebuild my own coils. I was waiting for a rebuild vid before i pulled the trigger of these clearo's.

A wrench in one hand and my PV in the other.

Well thats just plain Southern Hospitality for ya!

For those who want to rebuild them and have the skills, it's definately a money saver for sure!
I'm just getting lazy in my years so I just buy new ones.

For me, this is the only thing that I use that I cant get at my local B&M. So it really helps me out.

I'd like to try this once, but where's a good place to get the materials?

 

[Dac311]

There's quite a few places. Don't want to mention other vendors here though. But if you do a goggle search for rba supplies.

That's a lot of money to me. Heck, I got my EVOD heads for 47¢ apiece and I even have to rebuild those!
