Wrapping NI200 advice

[Paul lamb]

do the wires NEED to be spaced or can they be touching?

I'm using 28ga

Advice would be appreciated

Spaced. Always spaced with nickel.

Use a machine screw for wrapping...a bajillion times easier to wrap a coil. Also, keep the screw in the coil when attaching it to your deck. Once you have it connected properly, then unscrew it GENTLY and wick it. If you mangle the coil when wicking...ie too much wick that pulls the coil outta shape...pull the wicking out, screw the machine screw back into the coil to re-align it on the deck...then wick again. Works like a charm for me

Harden it first too, makes it so much easier.

How do you harden it? Pulse it?

Since you are in the UK, you should pick up some tempered Ni200 at Stealth Vapes.
Works great for me.

One end in a drill. The other end hold with pliers. Push button on drill and spin for a few seconds.. 30 should do depending on fast you spin it. Just be careful wire doesn't snap back when releasing. it is like cold tempering it.
Pulsing may "melt" it.

Quick question also, what about Titanium? Space or no space?

 

[SpaceApe]

Either or will work with Ti.

Thank you, thought I'd ask. I already coiled it without space and it seemed to work just fine but being I am new to titanium coils I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. Wouldn't want to miss anything you know....lol

No problems, happy to help. Remember the only stupid questions are those not asked.

Easy trick that I found(not sure if here or on CECR) but just wrap your NI200 coil however you can. Doesnt matter if it is ugly or not. Grab hold of the last wrap on each end and stretch it out a decent distance.
After that just push it all to the lip of the screwdriver, squishing it so all the wraps touch. When you let go they will spring out and be perfectly(for the most part) spaced. Usually do that once or twice, and it hasnt failed me yet.

If you buy tempered wire you done have to harden it.

Repeat...dont pulse nickel..spaced standard coils

If you pulse it and glow it then vape it you will turn into a Hobgoblin.

This.

It's by far the best method I've found so far. It makes a perfect coil every time.
