1. batteries- you MUST use IMR. I use AW's. You can use 18650's, 18350's, or 18490's with a kick. (rtdvapes, super t, lighthound)
2. A charger. There are many options. I use an xtar WP-II 6 bay. Some don't like it because it uses spacers. The "gold standard" is, arguably, the Pila. (same as battery suppliers)
3. Resistance wire. Most use kanthal 32 a-1. Some prefer a lower gauge wire for lower resistance. Some twist/braid it. I find that a 5 wrap coil of kanthal 32 makes about the a 1.8 ohm coil. Less wraps, lower resistance. More wraps, higher resistance. (I used kingorchid on ebay)
4. Stainless steel mesh. Some like 325,some like 400. There are some who say 500 is the best for wicking. I'll order 500 if I ever order again, but use mostly 400 now. (ebay or themeshcompany)
5. A butane torch. Some use propane, and some have even had success at oxidizing wicks on their natural gas stove. I picked my torch up at Lowes for $25. Worth it, IMO. (many, many suppliers ie. Harbor Freight, Lowes, Amazon, ebay)
6. A syringe with an 18ga blunt tip needle. I have a bunch of them. Some swear by needle tip bottles. I love the idea, and would use them if I had them. I think syringes would work better for emptying tanks, if you ever want to do that. Make sure your needles are 1 1/2" long. (ebay, amazon)

Can anyone think of anything else?

I think you covered pretty good....only one thing to add...

7. a multi meter to test ohms and for any shorts.


...on a side note....the number of wraps and size of wick will affect final ohms.
Example...grruss is using kanthal 32 a-1, with a 5 wrap for about 1.8....I am running same wire, but on a 95mm mesh, and with a 3/2 wrap, I am at 2.3 ohms. Yea....thats a Fat wick!! :evil:

SG ... yep, it's illegal. I'm not surprised. If you look at the prices of anyone selling from SG in the classifieds it's like double. They basically sneak all that stuff into the country.

There was a wave of issues exactly like you describe earlier this summer from a number of large vendors. The chargebacks and PP issues even shut a few of them down for a while searching for new payment processing...

yeah, not gonna chance it, going to go refund right now :)
