Basically Im posting this for newer members or members just starting to build and care for their kangertech coils.
Building these coils is very easy basic tools that you need a 1/16 drill bit or something of the same size to wrap your coils on, a small torch, tweezers, ohm meter, and a small pair of fingernail clippers.
Supplies you will need are Kanthol wire ( I use 30 awg ) And organic cotton or some type of wick, what ever you prefer.
This will give you everything you need to build these coils. To learn how I recommend watching Riptrippers on you tube. Some like him some don't but his methods are really good. I have yet to build a bad coil.
A really easy way to keep your spare un built coils clean and ready is a small pill bottle from the pharmacy put a little alcohol in it and when you take them apart just drop them in and close it up that way you always have them ready for a build or even a re-wick. When you pull them out just swap them off a little with a q tip and your good to go. On coils Ive built and they just get that nasty taste to them I will remove the wick, dry burn the coil, and drop them in as well. No need to wrap a new coil every time. Coils will handle many dry burns and you can re wick them many times. You will know a coil is bad when it gets slow to heat or at times wont heat at all if they break. I have yet to have one burn completely in two like the factory replacements do.
I build my coils to 1.6 ohm and I wick with organic cotton I use the organic cotton beauty pads that women buy to apply make up with they have less knots or knits in them than cotton balls. Some people use cotton for perms its all personal preference. I prefer cotton for taste it seems to give a much better taste than silica wick in my opinion.
Get a small organizer that you can keep your tools and supplies in that way everything is kept neat and together so your not always wondering where you put something or have to go get it lol. When your building go somewhere that you can relax and have plenty of light and enough space so that your not dropping stuff or knocking things over your using. I actually lay my stuff out in the lid of my storage container when Im building.
Hope this is helpful to someone its just the basics. I didnt want to go into detail of builds or anything else. Sometimes to much information can be confusing to people new to vaping. There are many threads here on ECF to help you with builds and care of your own personal vapor device. Happy vaping to everyone.
