Vaping Pro Tip - When rebuilding your atomizers, keep a cheap refrigerator magnet nearby to help keep track of your kanthal clippings. electronic_cigarette

We've all done it - you just got done building a sick coil, you've trimmed your leads with your wife's favorite nail clippers, all is well. Then you go to clean up and a tiny piece of kanthal makes its way to the carpet. If you had put your trimmings on that shitty magnet you keep on the fridge for no reason (it's not holding up kids' artwork, it's not keeping your grocery list in place, hell, it's probably not even strong enough, it's probably one of those shitty magnets they glue to ads for pizza and personal injury lawyers in the yellow pages), anyways, if you'd been using that to keep control of your trimmings, you wouldn't have to worry about your wife screaming at you three days from now because she has a piece of wire in her foot and she "told you to keep track of your damn wire clippings!" Now you have to build coils on the porch. Good work.

In all seriousness, I have a five month old daughter who is learning to crawl, and I'd feel like a huge, irresponsible piece of shit if she ended up with a piece of kanthal in her hand or leg. I'm very cautious about keeping control of those tiny little pieces of wire. I've sent a couple shooting across the room while trimming, and I've dropped some in the past, but no more.

Whenever you're ready to trim, just place your mod or atomizer or ohm meter, whatever you're building on, over an old fridge magnet, the bigger the better. Hold your hand over the atomizer while trimming so it doesn't fly across the room, and most of the time it will just drop onto the magnet. If not, immediately locate it and put it on the magnet. If you still manage to drop it on the floor, no worries, now you have a magnet to help you find it, no matter how small. The magnet will hold onto them for you so you can go about wicking and trying out your awesome new build without worrying about getting a piece of kanthal stuck in yours or someone else's foot/ass/leg/whatever later, and you can just brush them off of the magnet into the trash when you're all done!

Thanks for reading and happy vaping!
