Kanger T3 Rebuild with SS Mesh Tutorial
There has been a lot of interest for rebuilding a Kanger T3 with SS mesh so I thought I would write up a tutorial on how it is done.
First here is a list and a picture of the materials I have used.
- Multimeter
- Tweezers
- fingernail clippers
- Kanger T3 head
- Kanthal A-1 wire
- Pre-oxidized wick
Now remove the post on the Kanger T3 head as shown below.
Next remove the center piece and grommet from the bottom of the Kanger T3 and remove center coil as shown in the next 2 pictures below.
Now wrap your coil around your pre-oxidized SS mesh wick as seen below.
Insert wick and coil into the center of the head and spread out lead wires to ensure they do not touch during the reassembling process, and insert one of the lead wires into the rubber grommet as shown below.
Insert grommet and metal piece back into the bottom center hole underneath the wick and coil. Once in place trim both lead wires as much a possible ensuring no lead wire is seen. Next check your resistance of your rebuilt head and check for shorts. The head should look as displayed below.
Now it’s time to check for hot spots, in the picture I’m using an EGO-C battery. The should light up as shown with no hot spots.
After hot spots have been fixed attach the center post to the head and you now have successfully completed a Kanger T3 rebuild with SS mesh as seen below. Congratulations on your newly modified SS mesh Kanger T3. Happy vaping.
Very nice thanks for the info, I am going to have to try this out when i get my T3s in.
very nice
looks easy… would need pictures if i attempted this, thanks!
That’s a real good mod. Thanks for sharing it.
thanks for sharing. i cant wait to try
One of these days I’ll get around to trying this; cotton wicked too well for use as a wick in the T3 and tended to flood. What mesh size are you using here? 400? 500? Have you had any issue with flooding or leaking from the center pin?
Thanks for the how-to!
This is exactly what I needed. I’ve been looking at rebuildables for awhile but really wasn’t confident about it. One question. How do you fix hot spots? Thanks!!
Great tuto!
@slap_maxwell using 400 SS mesh, however I feel 500 would better, still have leaking at 0.8ml but I believe 500 mesh may help a little
@DemonFire to fix hot spots adjust your coils, like moving them away from each other or moving them closer together one coil at a time
ty for the info and i must agree you make it look easy
Great right up!!!! I will be tweeking my t3′s now..
Excellent write up Muertala! I shall be referring to this when my mesh arrives
nice
Thanks again!
great guide will have to use this when I decide to build my wicks.
how big was the ss mesh you started with to make the wick? i noticed one guy doing it made it too big to start and it didn’t fit, just curious if you had rough dimensions of it.
I tried this…great job
I am going to try this thank you for the guide!!
Great job very much appreciate the step by step photo’s.
Nice job!

Sweet! Id like to try this.
you make it look so easy and the step by step picks help ALOT thanks
Ughhh..The tiny space , in which to work these…
I will definitely be trying this. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been curious to try SS wicks. I may have to give this a try.
Thanks!
Nice Invention You Made There.
Wish I Had Once like that. :p
No way!! Of course the one time I don’t tape Talking Dead is the one where my suspicions would have been validated!! Can’t wait to go home and tell the husband I was right! God, I love being right. Thank you!! And please forgive the excessive exclamation points.
Thanks for this, gonna keep it bookmarked for a future t3 purchase.
did this 15 times ss wick fiber wick no wick 30g wire nothing touching but i get low load on my Z-max each time. I have been very meticulous doing this and I dont know why is is happening.
