Well, that's easy! Just need some cash and I will guide you to the rest. Okay, istick30- http://www.eciggity.com/eleaf-istick-30w-battery/
that will replace your evod. Also, if you don't want to mess with an atomizer go with but a solid vape-http://sweet-vapes.com/apvs/joyetech/joyetech-egrip-20-watt.html

Okay, if you are currently rocking an evod...I will make the assumption that you would be new to rebuilding(which is making the coils, instead of buying prebuilt ones...not meaning to over explain but if you are new, I just want to inform you).
You will need to watch some videos on how to build coils- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfuOOgOvjL4 (also a solid review of the Taifun GT2)
Then you need to purchase the Taifun GT2- https://www.fasttech.com/product/2047800

You will also need 28 gauge kanthal A1- http://www.amazon.com/Kanthal-Gauge-Wire-32mm-Resistance/dp/B00JVXVKB0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1422333395&sr=8-2&keywords=kanthal+a1

And I suggest japanese cotton-http://www.amazon.com/Cotton-Labo-ORGANIC-Puff-200pc/dp/B000TCD51A/ref=pd_sim_misc_8?ie=UTF8&refRID=0JSXYVNPVVYFJVCYDTZ0

And if you are going this far, get the best juice- http://www.stasheliquids.com/collections/drippers-paradise/products/my-sweet-one?variant=928219087

So search youtube for Taifun builds-https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=taifun+builds

Then replicate-
And if you need some help- let me know and I will build some coils and send them to you pre-wicked...but I would suggest just going for it...tweezers...scissors...drill bit around 1/8in or just get a shitty set and you are good.
Remember- idiots build coils all the time...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDz0otQmSH4

Amazon is your friend.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00JVXVKB0/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1422324544&sr=8-2

100' 28g Kanthal $6 (I use 26g on my subtank, but 28 works too. This is just the first one that showed up)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000TCD51A/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1422324636

More Japanese cotton than you will know what to do with $8

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FZPDG1K/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1422324748

Angle cutters, not needed but it makes getting a clean cut very easy $5

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004800I6Y/ref=mp_s_a_1_18?qid=1422324973

Precision screw driver set, also not needed but handy for both the fact that they are in fact screw drivers and that you can use the slotted ones for wrap coils with a consistent and known inner diameter. $8 (you can get this for a lot less at Walmart, Lowes, harbor freight... Etc)

So a little over $25 shipped and you will not need kanthal or cotton for a very long time.

u/StDoodle · 2 pointsr/electronic_cigarette

Have you thought about a rebuildable? A decent Kayfun clone shouldn't be much more than $30, and enough 28ga wire to last months is about $6 on Amazon, and a bag of cotton could probably last a year for a couple more bucks. If the flavor gets stale, it takes about three minutes to change out the cotton wick, assuming you have a way to empty the tank (blunt tip needles are great for this) and some decent scissors to trim the wick. I find the flavor noticeably better than my Aerotank Mega, and the upkeep costs are so much better.

u/firelion · 2 pointsr/electronic_cigarette

buy this pack and look for the wire separately. the pack of cotton I linked will last you a life time where the one in that pack you linked will last you maybe 2 or 3 weeks.

u/ripvannwinkler · 2 pointsr/Vaping

If you don't even know what the coils are made of, chances are you haven't been brought up to speed on coil resistance and battery safety. You don't mention what kind of mod you're using, but if it's a mech, get a vape shop to help you figure things out before you blow your face off.


That said, here are some things you will need eventually:

u/I_Plunder_Booty · 2 pointsr/electronic_cigarette

If you chose to go the rebuilding route this is what you need, and some atty suggestions at the end.

You need- wire- http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Lightning-Vapes-Kanthal-Resistance/dp/B00JVXVKB0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1413428261&sr=8-2&keywords=kanthal+a1

cotton- either balls or pads http://www.amazon.com/Organic-Cotton-Balls-80-Count/dp/B00CD8FCRI/ref=sr_1_6?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1413428355&sr=1-6&keywords=organic+cotton http://www.amazon.com/Cotton-Labo-ORGANIC-Puff-200pc/dp/B000TCD51A/ref=pd_ybh_5

drill bit set- http://www.homedepot.com/p/Unbranded-Drill-Bit-Set-13-Piece-45110/204590609#product_description

Tweezers- any pharmacy

Disposable butane torch- any gas station

ohm reader- http://101vape.com/meters/170-ohms-meter.html
(most regulated mods have a built in one, but a reliable and exact external ohm meter is very good to have)

rebuildables- tanks- kayfun https://www.fasttech.com/p/1605200 (google some kayfun build tutorial videos, stay under 20 watts while vaping on it)

drippers- magma https://www.fasttech.com/p/1718100
zenith https://www.fasttech.com/p/1770202

(both of those drippers are a good start because you can block 1 air intake and make single coils untill you are comfortable enough to build dual coils)

I own these drippers and that tank. They are the cheapest clones on the market but all work great. Shipping takes 3 weeks, chose first class china e-packet as shipping option

OPTIONAL- coil jig, no need for drill bits, MAKES COIL BUILDING EASY https://www.fasttech.com/p/1878301 (I've honestly never tried this, but I recently ordered one to try out, should have it in 2 weeks)

u/DoucheAsaurus_ · 1 pointr/electronic_cigarette

You can get tons of rebuilding stuff on Amazon for cheap. I definitely recommend Japanese cotton for your wick.

Japanese cotton wick

Kanthal

u/flower1988 · 1 pointr/Vaping101

Kanthal is typically used and will be your most commonly seen wire. I only know of Gplat as an alternative (I used it... not worth the price increase IMO) I get mine from Amazon, I originally started with 28 gauge, then a buddy let me borrow his 26 gauge, that was good too. I purchased some 24 gauge and it drains my batteries hard (which is why I want a dual box mod.)

Yes, a mod is the housing. Then you will need your atomizer and battery.

I started dripping with the IGO-w atty with the Smok Magneto Mod. Biggest problem I had with it is it was small and i had to drill the air holes. I still use the Magneto.

I would never suggest tank anything. I tried both the genuine and the clone russian 91% and it was a terrible experience.

So, for a beginner getting into dripping I would suggest these parts:

[Plum Veil Atomizer] (http://www.eciggity.com/plume-veil-clone-by-tobeco/) (Note! I have not bought anything from this site.)

ANY single battery 18650 mechanical mod. They all realistically do the same thing. RipTrippers.com does a lot of reviews, they should be able to point you in the right direction. I do however suggest one with a magnetic fire button instead of spring. (It will lower resistance and last longer because springs are weaker than magnets)

Atleast 2 [18650 Sony batteries] (http://www.myvaporstore.com/SONY_VTC5_18650_2600mAh_Battery_Flat_Top_30A_p/sny65026-f.htm)

Charger I chose the two battery one for money purposes but I suggest the 4 since it's only like $5 more and can charge a myriad of batteries

[These clamp things] (http://www.amazon.com/5-5-KELLY-Hemostat-FORCEPS-Straight/dp/B000QWK174/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1414788271&sr=8-6&keywords=medical+clamps) makes building much easier

I use these but a lot of people use nailclippers

[Wire] (http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Lightning-Vapes-Kanthal-Resistance/dp/B00JVXVKB0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1414788396&sr=8-2&keywords=28+gauge+kanthal+wire) either 28 or 26 gauge is what I would recommend.


Cotton Balls

[Ohm Tester] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MBNCOMG/ref=s9_simh_gw_p328_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0J7AHRP45YSC4DHAS7DB&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1688200382&pf_rd_i=507846)

Drill bits, allen keys or screwdriver to wrap coils around (i usually use Allen Keys)

Another Screwdriver for you builds

Tweezers are nice for accurate adjustments

Some people suggest a torch.... it's a waste of money for most builds. The main idea behind them is they are used to burn off any chemicals on the wire... but when you are done building you just fire it a few times before you put cotton in them and it does the same thing. Some builds need a more flexible wire... that is the only time you will need it.

Note: I 100% support the use of Clones, especially when you are starting out your vape life. They save so much money and do an adequate (if not better) job of most authentics.

u/eniqmatic · 1 pointr/electronic_cigarette

nightcore $11.80 amazon, vtc4 $11-pair amazon, vtc5 $22-pair amazon, when purchasing batteries always buy from a reputable source and do your end by reading reviews and viewing photos to be sure you are comfortable purchasing from any vendor, ohm reader = $20 atleast for a dedicated one potentially less if you use a cheap and possibly unreliable multimeter, kanthal 28g 100feet $6.50 amazon, wick = $?free-$$? type source amount etc. Doesn't factor in shipping or tax. The only reason I linked amazon is due to them being very good about protecting their buyers issuing returns and refunds when needed. Prices may be cheaper from other sources.

u/kb-air · 1 pointr/electronic_cigarette

Yup. Well dont throw any away till you have about 7 or 8 bad ones. Keep them for later. You can buy some Kanthal and some Organic cotton and rebuild those for pennies, and you will get a much nicer vape.

u/PsychonaticInstitute · 1 pointr/vaporents

[Kanger Protank 2] (http://m.ebay.com/itm/261434582730?nav=SEARCH) with an [iTazte VV battery mod] (http://m.ebay.com/itm/321459335778?nav=SEARCH). You can [rebuild the coils yourself] (http://youtu.be/cIoH-mOXKsc) with [Kanthal wire] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JVXVKB0/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_IAlgub1DRSACN) and Silica/Cotton wicks!

u/Passan · 1 pointr/RBA

Organic Cotton Balls I bought a bag mid April. I change wicks daily and I've still got a half a bag.

100ft Roll of 28g Kanthal for $6 This will last you quite a while. I highly recommend twisted 28g micro coils for great flavor and a bit of clouds.

u/DontHateThePlayer · 1 pointr/electronic_cigarette

Also here's the Japanese cotton. You peel off the outer layer of cotton and use the absorbent middle layer.

http://m.nordstrom.com/s/2935650/

And you'll need kanthal, 28 gauge most likely or maybe 26 gauge. Order it on amazon.com from either lightningvapes or temco.

http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Lightning-Vapes-Kanthal-Resistance/dp/B00JVXVKB0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1410414364&sr=8-2&keywords=28+gauge+kanthal+wire

u/Ravisher · 0 pointsr/electronic_cigarette

If you want something you will hold onto for more than a couple months I would go with the following:

Kayfun 3.1

Choose one that works with 18650s

Intellicharge

28 Gauge Kenthal

These Sony 18650s
aren't the real deal, but it's so hard to come by legit ones without seeing them in person.

Also you may want to pick up some organic cotton balls at a local shop (Walgreens, Walmart, Target, etc.).

Depending on the mod you choose, this should be under $100. GG

Edit: If you are entirely new to coil building and how batteries work, I would suggest educating yourself first. There are plenty of resources on the subject.
