Am I Weird For This

[8dragon9]

I am a fairly advanced user, I work in the industry, I understand ohms, battery safety etc etc blah blah. I can not for the life of me build decent coils, and I do not particularly care for rebuilding either. I have a local B&M and one lovely person there who builds coils for me in exchange for some playful ribbing with me as the jokebutt. I pop them in, replace my wicks every week or so and I am quite happy with this arrangement but I mean honestly, is it that unheard of for someone at my level so to speak to just remain inept at building? FYI I work with my hands, and am very mechanically inclined...I don't know guys, just a rant I suppose as I am getting ready to go grab some coils.

What kind of problems are you having?

 

[Tmg666]

They sell coil jigs if you need help with making coils. Otherwise imho should only be using rebuildables if you can rebuild them yourself/attempt to.
Just keep trying and you'll get better coils. Practice makes perfect. Good luck

Edit: also wash your hands before and dry good it'll help get you a better grip on the wire to keep the coil tight/not overlapping.

Making a coil is nothing more than wrapping the desired number of wraps of wire around the appropriate diameter drill bit for the desired ohm coil. After you determine those factors it's just a matter of practicing to make them look pretty. You can do it.

When I switched to the kayfun the first few coils I had were built by the guy that owns the B&M I frequent… It was mostly a confidence thing. Once I did it the first time it kind of broke the spell and I was able to roll with it. Just keep plugging away.

I think you're kinda weird, it's a pretty easy thing to do...

Yeah... you're weird... Blame your parents. Get a therapist.

Just keep practicing... you'll get the knack of it!!

 

[Ryedan]

Yup, you're weird ................................... j/k

I have the feeling it's more about you not really liking to build coils than anything else.

 

[Asbestos4004]

Yep....definitely weird. But not as weird as the "my urine smells" op. So, there's hope for you yet!

 

[fraychek]

Well, I CAN build coils and I DO build coils but I don't enjoy doing it and it makes my back hurt. So, I completely understand and no, I don't think you're weird. .

 

[Katcandoo]

I can build coils with no problems. My issue starts when trying to attach them to the posts or installing them in tank bases. That part takes me 3x the time.

 

[Pocha]

LOL...coils (for me) are the EASY part. Wicking...not so much!

 

[8dragon9]

Thanks guys lol, I just simply dont like it, I know if I keep at it I will get better, Its just a part of vaping I dont enjoy, like to do, or really manage to find the time and space to do. I have a friend who builds for me, I keep spares, and keep a couple drippers set up so I am never in a situation where I HAVE to rebuild one. Just how I am I suppose lol

I think you're doing it wrong.

 

[samwest]

I use dripper pros by leo and building coils is not a problem but tryin to stab those wires into the tiny ceramic cup is tough.

 

[Tomthern]

I say no you aren't weird. I don't want to build coils and its been a while. Maybe eventualy but I'm ok and don't smoke cigarettes and isn't that really the point?

Precisely, Ive done pretty darn well. Quit smoking over a year ago and have not looked back. Now its just a hobby that I enjoy.

I hate building coils, about as much as i hate kanthal in my fingers / feet and go to extreme lengths to ensure that i don't have to do it very often even though i am more than capable of building good ones. It took me a while to learn especially considering i caught shinyitis early on and had a lot of different drippers to fiddle with, they each have their own way of doing things and some setups are easier than others. Keep at it man, it gets easier

 

[Towmotor]

Nope, not weird.

I can and do build coils but I have never built one that I am satisfied with. That just annoys me, and I start over. I'm not a tinkerer by nature so the "wasted" time frustrates me. But I know I will be sitting at that table again tonight...trying to get "the one".

 

[bluecat]

Do what you like to do and pay someone to do those things you don't like.

I hate mowing my grass. I pay someone to do it. Could I?

I hate cleaning my pool. I still clean it though.

I hate rebuilding as well. Sometimes I rebuild them and other just I buy premades.

It's your life. Only person that you should care that judges you is you.
