Building coils is like building anything else. You need tools. Not just any tools, but you need the right tools to build your vaping coils the right way. These tools can be sold separately, but that can be a daunting task to undertake if you’re just starting out building your vape coils.

Today we are going to talk about the best Coil Building Kits and vape accessories in 2021.

What is a coil building tool kit?

They are a set of different tools that will help you build your vape coils more efficiently, without wasting time, and all in a convenient package where they can be stored safely. As a result, you don’t have to waste time finding all the tools or risk losing them.

Building vape coils can be a satisfactory hobby, especially when you’ve got the proper tools to build solid coils.

What tools come in a vape coil building kit?

Must-have tools

Regardless of the size of the vape coil building kit, there are some must-have tools you need. Make sure the following tools are included in the gear you purchase.

Flush cutters: as the name suggests, these are made for cutting your coil leads flush.
Needle-tip tweezers: without these, it would be pretty tricky to insert your cotton through the wicking channels.
Ceramic tweezers: ceramic is non-conductive, so you won’t get any electric shocks, and they allow you to strum the coils as you look for hotspots.
Scissors: quite handy for cutting the ends of your wicks.
Coil jigs or rods: very helpful when wrapping your coils. They come in different diameters.

Non-essential tools

The following list contains tools that aren’t really necessary, but can come in handy if you’re not just building coils, but also building or rebuilding atomizers.

Ohm reader: some kits include them, others don’t.
Screwdrivers: whether it is a Phillips, or a flathead, or both, some kits do provide them, although they aren’t that essential.
Pliers: most kits will include them these days.
Wire: most kits won’t include them, but backup wire is always welcome.

Vape Accessories To Have in 2021

510 Thread Batteries

A 510 thread vape is technically any battery with 510 threading, which happens to be the vape industry standard for most tanks and atomizers. When people talk about 510 thread batteries, these days, they are most likely talking about the ones made for use with oil cartridges.

Sub-ohm Tanks

M Pro Metal Tank

Trying to find the best sub-ohm tanks in 2021 can be a bit of a daunting task if you don’t have the essential information to guide you. Sub-ohm tanks are those tanks that have a resistance below 1 ohm. These sub-ohm tanks are great for building your vape mods and giving you some variety if you already own vape mods and want to try out different tanks.

Sub-ohm tanks come in different alloys: stainless steel, Kanthal, and nickel-chromium. They also come in single coil, double coil, triple coil, and quad coil configurations. The coils can be standard coils and mesh coils. We explain all these coil configurations in this article.

Best Sub-ohm Tanks in 2021

1 - Kanthal Triple Mesh Coil: This sub-ohm tank comes with phenomenal coils. Featuring innovative mesh wire sheets, widening the heating surface area for incredibly smooth flavor and quicker ramp-up time. The Freemax Kanthal Triple Mesh Coil is a perfect higher wattage choice with a 60-80 wattage range, kanthal make-up, and triple mesh coils. These beefy tanks can burn e-juice, but they can produce massive vapor clouds and great flavor.

2 - SMOK TFV18. This is the latest in the line of TFV edition tanks by SMOK. These vape tanks are great, but they are not for everyone. The sub-ohm vaping on this model is a force to be reckoned with. Vaping on steroids, some would say. These are great for flavor and massive cloud production. Bear in mind, though, that these bad boys will suck up your e-juice more quickly than you would expect. They come in 6 different colors, two mesh coils, and are 31.6mm (1.24 inches) in diameter.

3 - Uwell Valyrian 2 Pro. With self-cleaning technology that helps prevent leaking, this is an awesome tank for flavor and cloud production. It’s also a big tank at 32mm diameter. The self-cleaning technology allows this tank to recycle residue e-juice back to the coils. It comes with 2 X coils – 1 X 0.32Ohm single mesh coil (90-100W) and one 0.14Ohm dual mesh coil (80-90W) in the kit. This tank is very solid with a flip top, and top fill function which makes refilling on the go a breeze.

Drip Tips

Drip tips are the mouthpiece of the vaping device. It’s an accessory that screws directly onto the atomizer, and it is where you inhale from. It comes in a variety of sizes, shapes, and materials. Whether you use an RDA, RTA, or a sub-ohm tank, there is always a drip tip to suit you.

The materials that drip tips are usually made of are: glass, wood, metal, plastic, and stone, and ceramic.

Glass drip tips are used by those who love to get the most out of their e-juice. Just like drinking wine out of a glass instead of any other material, glass drip tips allow for the purest taste of your high-end e-juice.
Wood drip tips don’t conduct heat well, so they are perfect for those who worry about burning their lips as they inhale their e-juice.
Metal drip tips are good-looking and are present in pretty much every kind of mod. Metal drip tips are the most popular choice for drip tips. They are generally made of alloys such as stainless steel, aluminum, and sometimes titanium. Some people have reported that some metal drip tips give out a slightly bitter after taste, and they can also get quite hot.
Plastic drip tips are the cheapest variety of drip tips, but they don’t tend to heat up that much, which can be a good option for those who are worried about burning their lips.
Stone and ceramic drip tips come in great-looking designs and vibrant colors. They are usually more expensive than the other materials, but they are worth the extra bucks as they are not just eye-candy but also durable and ward off heat quite well.

Best Drip Tips in 2021

1 - Geekvape Resin 810. This drip tip is a short and stocky one, meant to attach to cloud-blowing atomizers.

However, they are sold separately if you want to incorporate them into your build.

These designs look best in old-school tanks and clearomizers. These drip tips have a narrow bore which is ideal for enhanced throat hits from nic-salts.

Vape Cotton

Cotton is the most popular material for making wicks for vaping devices. Other materials vapers have experimented with are silica, hemp, mesh, and rayon. However, cotton is the preferred choice for vapers due to its lower price, ease of use, and neutral taste. Most pre-made coil heads come fitted with organic cotton wicks.

Cotton is the essential accessory to have at hand if you are using rebuildables like RTAs or RDAs
