What tools do electronic cigarette players need?

In addition to the two most important components, the battery and atomizer, players may also use the following tools:

Heating wire: also known as a heating coil, it is the core component of the atomizer that vaporizes e-liquid. Common materials include iron-chromium wire and nickel-chromium wire, with different diameters and resistance values. For beginners, it is recommended to use Kanthal brand 0.33mm diameter heating wire.

Wicking material: also known as cotton, it is the medium for the heating wire to vaporize the e-liquid. It absorbs the e-liquid from the reservoir through capillary action and vaporizes it into smoke through the heating wire.

Wire coiling tool: used to organize the heating wire, it is usually included when purchasing the heating wire. If using bulk heating wire, a separate wire coiling tool is needed to avoid the wire from getting tangled and difficult to unravel.

Ceramic tweezers: made up of stainless steel and ceramic tip, used to adjust the distance between the heating wire coils. Due to its high-temperature resistance advantage, ceramic tweezers are recommended, but regular pointed tweezers can also be used. Note that they are slightly more expensive. Other tools, such as cotton rope, mesh, and steel wire, can be chosen according to needs.

Wire cutter: used to cut the installed heating wire, nail clippers can be used as an alternative, it is not a necessary tool.

Small screwdriver: used to disassemble the screws on the atomizer, and can also be used to make heating wire, but not a necessary tool.

Coiling jig: an auxiliary tool used to make heating wire with different diameters, the commonly used coil diameters are also marked on it.

Clamp: used to fix the atomizer position, making it easier to install the heating wire.

Small scissors: used to cut cotton and other small items, commonly found in households.

Ohm meter: used to measure the resistance value of the heating wire, highly recommended for mechanical mod or dripper players, but not necessary for electronic mod players.

Multimeter: used to test the resistance value of the circuit, relatively complex, tutorials can be released later.

Small dropper bottle: used by DIY e-liquid players as a small container for adding liquid.

Blowtorch: used to heat the heating wire for oxidation, stabilizing resistance and accelerating this process, it is not a necessary tool.

This tool list aims to comprehensively introduce the tools that electronic cigarette players may use, rather than emphasizing that you must purchase them. In the DIY process, we advocate the use of the simplest tools to achieve the same effect under safe conditions. If you can use homemade tools to DIY electronic cigarettes, not only can you save unnecessary expenses, but also make you shine instantly.
