Artistic Wire Coiling Gizmo

[Walter Ego]

For me the Artistic Wire Coiling Gizmo was worth it for the stand itself. I find being able to pull it out and clamp it easily and securely on my desk to be very handy. For my forms I went to Hobbytown and picked up music wire in various sizes for a very reasonable price and made my own, i also cut some short lengths to use when mounting my coils.

Exactly the reason I don't have one. With the Artistic gizmo, you are limited to whatever sizes are in the kit.

Not always the case. Ever heard of Piano Wire!! Just saying!!

The mico Puck looks interesting. It might be a great traveling tool.

I make my coils with a 2mm diameter so I made a mandrel out of a metal coat hanger. It works great on the Gizmo and makes perfect coils every time.

The efest was just an example of a higher mah battery. Although they are very A good performer for a mech. They are definitely better than the 1600 mah aw.

Higher mAh doesn't equal better. I use AW 1600mAh in my REO because I run dual coils @ 0.5Ω. On a fresh battery that's drawing 8.4amps. The AW 2000mAh is only rated 10amps so that's cutting it too close for me.

Anyway...this is way off topic and I'd hate to see another thread closed due to petty arguing

Right, but higher mah with a better discharge curve and adequate amp rating is better. Look around guys, the 1600aw is not the best battery for a reo.

I bought the art gizmo for under $8 and get perfect coils every time. Considering what I pay for everything else to enjoy my vaping hobby $8 is worth it if I only use the one size and use other devices for smaller wraps.

With that said I use mine all the time and get very consistent coils. Now to look into piano wire and coat hangers.

[emoji651]️This exactly. I only use one of the mandrels that came with the gizmo. I made several of my own in the sizes I use most, and having the short lengths of the same material as the mandrel makes mounting duals much easier.

Yep, I got piano wire from hobby town and made rods in the micro range. As I found out though, the 2nd smallest rod is just perfect for my needs so I ditched the home bent models

What hardware do I need to use with this gizmo? M4 wing nut? Also....the other rods aside from the 1/16th are useless. I don't really use 1/16 very much anymore...anyone know where I could get some other sized rods and bend them for this guy?

Hobby Town or anywhere that sells stuff for RC cars and planes should have them.

Go to Hobby Town and search "Music Wire" and you are there!!
