How To Protank and evod rebuilding

I really want one >.< ....think my bank would prefer the multimeter option tho

You can always get a vamo from fasttech. Not much more than a multimeter.

And what is the difference between Kanthal A1 and Kanthal D?

From the Stealthvape site:

Kanthal A1 differs from kanthal A and D in that it is more stable at higher temperatures due to a slightly different ratio of Iron, Chromium and Aluminum.
Kanthal A1 - 1400°C (2600°F)
Kanthal A - 1350°C (2460°F)
Kanthal D - 1300°C (2370°F)

Hiya, great post! Quick question.... Does the post screw out or just pull out? I'm struggling.


Edit....so got past that hurdle but the top wick fell apart and I don't have any to cut to replace it. What weight silica did u use please? Also which wire? I may aswell get both, hehe!

I generally use 2mm for the wick with either a 1mm flavour wick o top or a couple of strands of the 2mm. With my wire I use .2 kanthal a1. That is obviously for my builds which come I at a resistance of 1.8-1.9.

Some people use just a 3mm wick and different wire for resistance.

I have found some wick gives you a yucky taste. I did find it cleared after half a tank though.

Try flaming the wick first. Can help sometimes

I did my first rebuild on a T3 yesterday using 3mm Wick and .2 kanthal. It came in at 2.1ohms and I was chuffed to bits. Is there any advantage to using 2mm Wick instead of 3mm?
