Carnegie Hall joke
Rumor is that a pedestrian on Fifty-seventh Street, Manhattan, stopped Jascha Heifetz and inquired,
"Could you tell me how to get to Carnegie Hall?" "Yes," said Heifetz. "Practice!"
This old joke has become part of the folklore of the hall
The only two coils I've made so far were using a 6-32 machine screw to build spaced coils forr my subtank mini RBA deck, I've got a picture somewhere in this thread or the tootle puffers thread. Both Vaped Quite well though they were slow builds being new to it. I swear I can taste the organic cotton I used from madvapes though, not a bad taste, but a taste nonetheless. I've put building aside until my kayfun light v2 clone arrives with Kanthal and more cotton. It's been 5 or 6 weeks now, a smaller package from fasttech (what a misnomer!) arrived last week. Also have some cotton bacon coming from Ecig.com. I like the kits you guys linked to and wonder if using one of those jigs (or even a small screwdriver or drill bit) wrapping the coil tight, then pulling the two ends would give as good a spacing as a machine screw. Will have to try that.Nope. Neither do the first two you linked to, which are basically the same in theory but with hard edges and aluminum vs. chrome-plated brass. Don't think I really need caps or screws and the downside to those is that you can't apply tension to the wire. That said the LV price is very good if it's an authentic Coil Master. Many of the Kuro ones at fastech are not authentic and I've seen comments about crooked shafts, rounded screws instead of straight-sided, crooked feed holes, etc.
I currently do all of my coils by hand on SS rods or drill bits and I don't think I really NEED any of these devices, so no matter which one I choose it's just a man-toy to me anyway. I was even looking at that Artistic Wire Coiling Gizmo at Amazon, but the setups don't match the diameters I want.
