Hey, I always thought if you needed a coil wound clockwise you went in a clockwise direction, and anticlockwise the reverse. But what do I know.

Just checked my original post. "Clinton clear clockwise", damn autocorrect while using the SlideIt keyboardHey, I always thought if you needed a coil wound clockwise you went in a clockwise direction, and anticlockwise the reverse. But what do I know.
My jig doesn't wrap coils that way but it sure would be interesting Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk
Then don't! My comment was meant for those that don't own one, or never used one. I had an early version, but liked all the improvements of the larger V3, so I bought that model as well. An inexpensive device that makes coiling winding dead easy. I have a few RTA's that require the opposite wind, but would get a V3 or now the V4, regardless. Personally, I don't care if folks like winding on drill bits or screws, but the ease of use for a CM jig is hard to deny.
I have one that gets zero use.
I only use spaced coils and though others don't seem to have trouble with the CM, I find it to be a pain.
So, I use an appropriate sized machine screw. Well, my lovely coil and wick assistant does.
I wind mostly spaced.
Pass it on to "KenD"!
You know, I'm making a list of vape related items that I will never use for the PIF thread. I've got spools of wire I'll never use. Tanks, mods, drip tips, and now that you mention it, a Coil Master.
no issues making spaced ss coils with my CM. wind it tight, spread it out and push it back together, and done.
For contact-coils I like these jigs, as they are quicker and more precise and don't need pinching afterwards, but for spaced coils it's even faster to do them on a precision-screwdriver for me, or I often use a mandrel that are divided up into thicker and thicker parts as going up(a couple bucks on fasttech e.g.), from 1.5mm to 3.5mm. Winding them freehand with little space between and then pressing together a couple times and it's a perfect spaced coil imho. OK, I agree they are slightly prettier too when made with such jigs granted. To each there own of course.
I like the engine nano, with a big ID coil, but currently run my merlin more as to me have better taste and denser vapor + more smooth draw/airflow.

I have a Youde (?) coil jig. I rarely use the spin cylinder thingy to turn the wire. I use the base to secure one end of the wire to the handle, then wind on the mandrel size I chose. Pop the mandrel off with the coil on it, shape it a bit, then use the mandrel to help position and hold the coil while mounting on the deck. Simple workflow for me.
Sometimes for contact coils in addition to wrapping tightly/contact, I'll the turning cylinder to help compress the coil before mounting.

I use the CM v4 all the time, and always make spaced coils. I don't put too much pressure on the rotator piece, find that it takes just a few seconds to turn the coil into a spaced one when I pulse at low power and strum the coil a bit with ceramic tweezers.
I used one of the ft Mandrels for months, it served well, but I find the CM cleaner, especially for CCW coils.

Yeah I've used them too. Even just regular clapton coils are much better than notch coils. Notch coils are great in theory just don't perform well in the application.
Love my Wismec notch coils, long lasting, don't get too gunked up, works well for me in TC MODE. In fact when I get this new OBS Nano on Monday, ordered on Friday, that's 3 days, you can keep those cheap Chinese web sites, and customs ......!
First thing I'll be throwing in a SS Wismec Notch coil, and some rayon.

I only run single-coil currently and can't live with such low capacity so only ever gotten the full size merlin, and was lucky to never have seepage/leaking, except the usual slight condensation-ring normally found after extended use. I used to vape 20-25ml's a day, but am now down to 10ml's roughly(with single-coil and higher nic than before, gone from 3 to now 6mg). I know the mini is one of the most regarded for single-coils, more than the full-size, but 2ml's just sounds like such a chore personally. I used to drip full-time, so atleast it's "better" than that
I thought 4ml's was bad initially, but with single-coil it's fine to me... I didn't get the ammit initially, because it was 3.5ml, but that's doable too I know see... If I got the merlin-mini it would probably be fine too, but i'm just a little set in my ways it seems, or how it's put... I've not even tried TC ever yet, lol, but am going to get some SS wire and check it out soon I think, as i'm intrigued by the promise of more smooth vape and battery-savings it also can bring, in addition of the usual high-light of protection of dry-hits. It also makes sense to set the temp, instead of wattage to me, as the temp(heatflux) will vary greatly in same wattage setting between different gauges/lengths/types of the wire. Ohh, sorry for blabbing on off-topic

See I've rewicked several times for the hell of it. It's been perfect every time still. Coil is in the middle, and I just make sure the air is closed 3/4 way and everything is perfect. I open the air all way and the flav is muted. All perfect here. Love the tank.
Well there ya go. It just goes to show you no matter how bad a product is there is someone out there that likes it.
