Is it possible to replace a wick in a coil if so cud any1 teach an amature like me? I love tinkerin only reason i want to find out
 
there are lots of videos out for recoiling, but if you just want to replace the wick, then your biggest issue will be to get it through the coil. Raid the sewing cupboard and get some sewing silk (the very thin stuff), wrap it round the end of the new wick and pull the wick through - stops it from fraying and makes the end thin enough to feed through.
 
Try to put as much info as possible, like what what atomiser your using as there are many different types

Some are easier than others to re wick and sometimes just easier to re coil the wick itself and re build

No apology needed was just asking so we could help :)

As I see someone has put a video up this should help. There quite easy to build once you get the hang of it and will save you a load of money compared to buying new heads

Here is another vid with a more close up view of the fiddly bits

If you don't have wick and wire you can also do dry burns and that will give you a few more days out of your coils :)

Best place for wick and wire would be Stealthvape :)
