I can see where those arms can help someone like me that has a hard time with the wire legs and trapping them. Feed the wire behind the screw and in front of the rear arms. Do ya think?

InTaste says FedEx says mine will be here tomorrow.
I'm just thinking if you pass a single wire between the screw and the arm and then take the tail and wrap around the opposite arm it will hold it until you cinch down the screw. But if you go around the arms then your tail will be longer and higher resistance (though negligible).BothI still say you can install a coil on the inside like in a Subtank rba, and for thicker (clapton) you go outside.
Royal Mail tracking says "has been passed to the overseas postal service for delivery in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", it's up to the USPS now!
Or some such way. Yes, I agree with you. They could make for a nice way to hold your wire and free up a hand to cinch down the screws.
What I currently do is I lay the coil (which is still wrapped around the mandrel) on my deck. I grab the tail and wrap around the screw then take the tail and wrap around the mandrel a couple times to hold it in place while I cinch up the screw. Works great.
I just had to build a new coil this morning and I remembered that tip. It does help and seemed to go easier than normal.
I didn't mangle the coil like I usually do.
You don't really need to... if you've ever used the rba in a Subtank you'd understand, it makes things very easy. I usually just wrap the lead around the screwdriver I'm using to hold the coil down while I tighten things down... but going back to the Subtank way will really simplify things, just drop it in and screw it down!
There was another tank that had a similar RBA I used in the past, can't remember what it was though.After you use that method about 5 - 10 times, it becomes VERY easy. I grab the tail with a pair of needle nose to pull/wrap the tail. I grab about an inch which seems to be the right amount so you can wrap it around the mandrel a couple/few times.I just had to build a new coil this morning and I remembered that tip.

...copying all these awesome tips!! Thank you all!!I picked up my package this morning, I have 3 KFL+'s and 1 KF Mini V3 in my hot little hands!!
I'll have my wire Thurs.
Building is really easy to understand. What is hard to master is the physiology of building. A third hand would really help.

Ah yes, I remember why I didn't like that drip atty, way back when.Building is really easy to understand. What is hard to master is the physiology of building. A third hand would really help.
I have one of those lighted magnifiers too, from the beaded jewelry days, that's also a necessity for me.
Perfect! Lots of people use those magnifiers. Be glad you're a lady too. That has advantages. One, y'all have those spindly little fingers that lend themselves better for building versus men's sausage fingers. Two, females tend to have more patience than men. I was running a small shop years ago that made conduit clamps. Some of them we attached a nut and screw to them. It was all hand work. And it was all women who did it. They were fast and they would sit there all day while their minds drifted off to another time and another place. Men sucked at it.Ah yes, I remember why I didn't like that drip atty, way back when.

Yes, I know exactly what you mean. I will struggle with the patience aspect of it.Perfect! Lots of people use those magnifiers. Be glad you're a lady too. That has advantages.

Part of the problem was my (cheap) drip atty had a bad post that would sometimes work and other times wouldn't.
DH diagnosed that for me, (with some gadget he has), when I was about in tears, because I knew that my wrap/coil should have been working.
So, that thing went in the trash, and then I went to ProTanks, 
from there to cartotanks.I had to laugh in your tutorial thread about the ProTank coil wrappers, how they ALWAYS (finally) end up at the tutorial thread, and needing help with the more advanced devices. (waving "hi"...)Yepper, that's me.
...hard headed to get out of my comfort zone, spending far more time than I would have had to wrapping those silly coils...that were meant to be DISPOSABLE.
I had just really let the more advanced tanks intimidate me. I've done intricate stuff between making the beaded jewelry, sewing, crochet, counted cross stitch, and working for so many years as a floral designer, I'll eventually get it albeit, I'm fairly certain that a few choice words are going to fly, but I'll muddle through it.
Holy crap! Good stuff HB! Wish I woulda waited another minute refreshing that page Sun night from 5:55 to 6:05 PM.... Went love probably right after I gave up... Lol

I know this has been discussed already, but I'm just saying I hope it's similar to the old "S" options in the past, where we get to replace the center post with the opposite of an "S" upgrade to actually limit air via a smaller hole in the post? Or a center post that could bring back the grub screw option.
I don't mind buying the extra piece, whatever it shall be.

Looking at those arms, I see 2 ways, around the back or a traditional way of between screw and arm. What I now see as the advantage of going around the back is that as you tighten the screw, it won't pull on your coil and distort it (robin) because of the sharp cuts on both sides of the arms. These cuts may sort of dig into the wire and your coil stays still. Now you can also go between the screw and arm (traditionally) and because the arms are there, your wire won't squish outwards. I think you can do either way, but may depend on the lenght of your coil, if someone uses a very short coil, they may go inside, where as a longer coil may go outside

Lovely vape, quite airy too.
I used 0,35mm wire, which I just put under the screws - very easing coiling.
Good grief....it 's been 27 years since the Berlin wall came down and I'm still calling it Munich, West Germany in my head.
Just to update everyone, we placed our order as soon as they opened it up. We have not received a shipping notification yet. They did say it could take longer than normal due to demand...
