Where to buy wicks and coils

[ckim111]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to buy wicks and coils that I can use to replace the ones on my stardust. Anyone know where I can order them? I know I will have to cut and roll the coil completely custom. Thanks!

Haven't ordered any yet, but this is the cheapest for a small quantity. Clouds of Vapor sells small quantities as well.

My pleasure ckim.

I want to get some stainless steel mesh to try my hand at wicking one of these Stardust with too.

Badkolo also posted in one of their threads that he has the manufacturer working on a version with snap in cup assemblies! Now how cool would that be!

So I was able to remove the outer tube but I can't figure out how to get the wick and coil out. I know it's held by a plastic suction cup inside the small metal tube. Hmm...

Hi big,

Yes I have. But I guess I can't figure out from the video how he removes the inner metal tube. Looks like he pries it out with tweezers but that didn't work for me.

Wicks are usually made out of Silica Rope. Coils are made with either Kanthol or Nichrome wire (for rebuildable atomizers). All can be found here:

If you buy in bulk then it will be pretty cheap. Hope that helps.

Forgot to mention that 36 gauge wire will make a 1.5-1.7 ohm atomizer. While a 32 gauge will make something like a 2-2.4 ohm atty.
