    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    I have an rda that does something similar, fluctuating across resistance and still haven't figured it out yet. Best of luck turbo.

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Ok guys, went shopping instead of going online because we had a snow day. Just a heads up for anyone making a jig involving a fly fishing reel ala Super... do not get the pan fish fly fishing kit from Walmart, it does not have adjustable drag as advertised! I'll be getting a reel from...

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Good enough for me turbo, I bought one for the price... before watching Russ's super swamper video. I'll try the build with it for posterity though

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Ok I'll say it.. I learned more about electronics from quitting smoking than in the 20+ years I smoked lol

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Mac, could something like that be controlled by a force gauge similar to a fish scale?

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Ok turbo, any chance you could see a zebco 33 reel (spool 90° from rod direction) not working? I planned to mount it at a right angle and use the drag the way Russ does without the rod in a smaller package. Thoughts?

    Yeah, sucked a lot. Glad they took the truck off my chest lol

    Robin, yeah I'm ok. They kept me overnight to make sure that it wasn't an ongoing heart attack and only let me out when the lab work confirmed it. I already have a cardiologist from an existing heart condition so they are shipping me off to him for more testing to see what damage there has been...

    So, spent yesterday in the hospital after a heart attack... not fun. Sorry I've been lurking, work has been a mess and the new phone is crap signal

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Ok, so basically, speaking in terms of something stretchy like an elastic band... we are stretching the wire so that as it relaxes back to its natural diameter it pulls itself into the coil... right? A very gross explanation but am I following correctly?

    Post pictures of your working wick and coil setup

    Tiger- That was my first thought, when the first build crashed i tightened the screws till they nearly snapped the 22ga. I'm thinking positive insulator since the positive post spun once already. Thanks for the reply, I'll keep you posted. Hope I can figure it out, the rda almost matches...

    Post pictures of your working wick and coil setup

    Ok build junkies, I've got a problem with an rda that's driving me insane so I'm bringing it here to get some opinions on it. First the specs: 22ga kanthal a-1 6/7 wrap around 3mm mandrel with tension Dual coils Mounted in a Little Boy rda Now the issue: I've put 2 builds in this rda and...

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Can't say I see it actually creating tension in a linear sense, solid design though.

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    And speaking of coil jigs that are small but functional and may have a small implied tension, has anyone seen this? http://lightning-vapes.theshoppad.com/#/product/coil-master-coil-jig The coil master jig at Lightning Vapes, it works similar to a pin vise but gives you a bit of a lever to help...

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Ok, still working on the comparison but I had to order more wire lol. I should have more results shortly, I hope.

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Exactly Mac, thanks for the info Bro. Too cold for work today so I'm working on my jig and comparing methodologies between constant physical tension and tension applied by hand to a coil with the same specs. I'll keep you all posted with the info as I get them done. Here goes nothing!

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Oh yeah, thats on the wishlist. Does anyone else see fishing reels full of kanthal.... with no young 'uns involved?

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Ok, how did you save and export the coil specs? I'm sick of pen and paper. Pardons if it's been asked before

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Bill, I know I've seen it before but thanks for the link for the cobra coiler. It saves me from fabricating one from scratch. I work with larger gauge wire so I went with a more standard reel, the Zebco 303. I'm planning to modify it to remove part of the casing and use it as the tension...
