I was doing a favor for a friend and thought others may benefit from this. I took pics as went to help it make sense. I know some of you rebuild your Kanger coils as do I. I have 4 ATM in my rotation that I have been dry burning and rewicking since April. All of them are still going strong and have not had to replace them yet. I have a build that I do that is durable, produces nice vapor, and good flavor. It is a 1.2-3ohm bulid using Twisted 32g round and .5 Flat wire @ 8x7 wraps. This twist is a mico tiger coil that will fit in a Kanger head and be usable on most any battery safely. To do the coil you will need: 32g Kanthal 0.5 Kanthal 16g blunt needle Electric Drill (To twist the wire) Tweezers (for crimping) If you do not already build coils or are wanting a further explanation on this, I will do a step by step, pic by pic on building the coil later. Once you have a rebuilt coil, the trick in keeping it going is the re wicking. I do not advise this for a OEM Kanger head. You will find it difficult and in most cases end up damaging the coil anyway. This is meant for a rebuilt head and in most cases uses a heaver gauge wire Kanthal than the OEMs. Lets get started. To rewick the coil you will need: Tweezers Organic Cotton or Japanese Cotton E-Liquid or straight PG VG This coil is one that I just built and dry burning is not needed. If you are doing a rewick take your tweezers and carefully, pull out the old wick. Some times the wick can be fuzed to the coil with gunk. In this case, just burn off the old wick as you will be replacing it anyway. Remove a small amount of Cotton from your cotton ball Roll it loosely on one end roll it tight to make it easy to thread into the coil Take your tweezers and pull it through the coil making sure it moves freely but not loose. If it is to loose you will get leaking. If it is to tight it will not wick well and you will get dry hits. NOTE: Pay close attention to the coil and make sure it is not touching the side of the coil head. This will cause a short. Trim off the excess cotton on the end you used to thread the cotton in the coil. Cut it off at the edge of the coil head. Once this is done take the longer end and fold it over the on top of the coil. This will be your favor wick. If you have used to much cotton it will cause a harder draw when complete. Sometimes you need to twist it a bit so it fits nicely in the grove of the head. Make sure when you fold it to leave extra cotton beyond the coil head. This will be trimmed later. NOTE: This is when you want to juice up the wick. take a few drops and wet the wick. This will do two things. It will prime the wick. and protect it from burning off with the first couple hits. It can also help in folding the wick and placing it in the coil head groove. Now place your chimney back on the head. This will hold your flavor wick in place. Now it is time to trim up the wick. Trim both sides of the wick using your edge of the coil head as your guide. Your done install the newly rewicked coil and Vape.

You forgot one of the most important things in your list. A ohm reader or Multimeter. Having a way to read ohms (Do not trust a E-Cig device) is a absolute must when building coils.

Happy early BD to me. I got what I wanted!

I'm with you on working on vehicles. I've been doing a few little mods to mine. Its coming together though, next is long travel suspension. That should take up a weekend. Can't find a pic of the engine bay. Damn

I've got a Cuban cigar flavor that I mix with a little Vanilla, Black Cherry, and a couple drops of Dragon's Breath (cinnamon), and it seems to go very well with Scotch, Bourbon, or other whiskey... and isn't horribly bad with other hard-liquors like Vodka and Tequila. I'm not a beer drinker, so I couldn't say how it would taste with a brew
