The key in the twisted is hand-twisting. I hook the looped end of about 6 feet of wire in a pen clip, and roll the pen down my leg. Wires rolled like this are no where near as tight as those that are drill twisted. The extra gaps give additional surface area...
Larger (3 mm) coils also allow for additional surface area. I also wrap spaced coils which rarely have hot legs or hot spots. Spaced coils also give more surface area. More surface area means more points of contact for the e-liquid means more vapor.
I used a cordless drill and a gutted Kanger Evod coil.
- Straighten your core wire
- Chuck straightened wire in drill
- IF using a short length (12" or less) go to step 3. This is preferred.
- IF using a length longer than 12", clamp the opposite end loosely. I used a set of helping hands. Keep the wire straight!
- Thread your wrapper wire through the cored Kanger Evod coil top to bottom.
- Set end of wrapper wire in the side of the chuck.
- Start the drill slowly and let the core wire rest in the groove of the bottom of the Kanger Evod tank.
- Let the wrapping guide your hand...
- DO NOT push the wire down the core. This will result in a gapped clapton.
- DO NOT hold the wire back. This will result in overlapping wraps.
- You can speed up the drill as you get comfortable with the feel of the wrapping. Be patient, though...
