So I have been buying up a decent stock of RTAs over the past few weeks, and today it hit me. I have no building tools. My question is this? What exactly do I need. Should I buy one of those fancy Coilmaster all-in-one kits? Should I just buy items seperately? I am having a hard time figuring out what are necessary items, and what things are just kind of extra (nice to have, but can live without). Any guidance would be appreciated.
From my research: buy a kit man, buying individually will cost you more. I bought a cheap kit for like equivalent of 10$ and I'm doing fine, only thing it was missing was scissors but I'm just using tiny nail scissors I had in the house.
Your kit should contain: coil rod or rods depending on the system (for wrapping wire), scissors, wire clipper/cutter, ceramic tweezers, little alan keys + flat and cross screwdrivers, small wire brush to clean coils.
Bent mini tweezers for precise wicking would be a good thing to get, I often struggle with wicking as I don't have them but I manage with my ceramic tweezers anyway so not absolutely crucial. Oh yeah and coil trimming tool (for cutting legs to size) would be nice. Also small standard metal pliers (needle nose) for heavier action are a good thing to have.
Loads of stuff will come with tanks or with coils (vandy vape tosses in coiling rods into some of their pre-made coils, tanks often come with screwdrivers and alan keys, some tanks arrive with coil leg trimming tool)
