Basic run down on coiling/wicking Steam Crave RDTA for the Posse.

[sessiondrummer]

Basic coiling/wicking on the steam crave RDTA (6ml), with 24 ga. Kanthal wire, Koh Gen Do organic Japanese cotton. Dual vertical coils, 7 wraps, paralleled at .35 ohms. Nothing fancy just quick easy step by step. No fancy coiling here....
Old coils out, new wire going in:

Coil Master Jig with 30mm post:

Feeding wire into jig:

Tight first wrap by hand:

After 7 wraps trying to keep both ends near each other:

Thanks Coil Master, too damn easy:

Finished simple 7 wrap:

2X:

First coil roughly placed, one lead on top, other lead on bottom:

First coil trimmed, 2nd coil loaded making SURE they are inside the inner circle deck:

Trimmed and straightened:

Dry firing to remove any oils, before tweaking with ceramic tweezers:

Piece of organic cotton cut, before removing thin outer (tougher) layers:

Roll tip (just long enough to poke through) of cotton then pull through with tweezers:

Pull through by hand with medium resistance rolling to get in, but not compress:

Cut top as close to coil as possible to prevent charring when using:

Both wicks in, roughly trimmed before fluffing up with tweezers:

Fluff and stuff. Do NOT pack, just cover 4 holes in deck plate:

Saturate wicks/coils, fill tank, assemble with House Blend .................

Thanks FV, not the best coils, not the worst, but it sure works good with ZERO hassles.
