Evod 2 coils?

[Phoenix .]

Got my new Evod2 yesterday from Fasttech along with the Evod glass p3, both authentic Kanger products.

Looking at the coils I expected them to be the same, no they are not, the Evod2 coils have not got the cotton, so I presume they are not rebuildable.
Why is this?

These could be the "new" style of kanger dual coil heads. If they are you'll see two small holes where the wicks used to protrude in the old versions.

Here's the newer version



The good news is they can be rebuilt quite easily. When you remove the chimney (this is the hard part, probably need some pliers) you can then remove a small sleeve which will effectivly turn the head back into the old style.




After removing this rebuilding is the same as it was before.  You'll either need to replace the sleeve or get some spare rubber spacers after rebuilding.

interesting, no wadding between the sleeve and head like the joyetech/aspire heads then thatguy?

Oh ok thanks for that info, I can't do re-coiling so it's no problem, just that I have never seen that before on Evods.

Nope.  Apart from the sleeve and the silicon on the chimney, it's identical to the earlier ones. It's just an interference fit

Cheers, not really an upgrade then more of an attempt to put you off rebuilding them.

I have looked at all the coils on Fasttech but I cannot find the right one to fit the Evod2, the one in the pic of the Evod2 clearomiser is a the same as the old evod?

Anyone help me please, don't want to order the wrong ones

Phoenix ., you are more than welcome to send the old heads down to me and I'll coil and wick the for you. Pm me if you would like me to do them, regards, Paul.

You should be able to use the "old style" with the wicks showing in the Evod, just compare them side by side to check the heights match. if the tube where the coil sits seems too low you can add another silicone cup facing the other way up (forming a cup) to bring it up to the same height.
