OK as promised. Please take into account that I may suck at this......
Here’s a 28 ga Nichrome build on a 2 mm (9 wraps) screwdriver shooting for .5 ohms.
After completing the build you want you tails/leads pointing in opposite directions and on the bottom side of the coil. This will tighten the coil on the twist and lift after you have it locked down.
When I put the coils on the posts/screws I lay the coil right on the stack leaving my screwdriver in the build. The leads are wrapped one full turn around the screws putting decent tension on the coil.
Once everything is nice and tight I lift the coil about 2 mm off the stack and give it a twist. It makes the coils nice and tight and I usually have to unscrew the driver from the coil.
Here are some pictures. Not the best but you get the idea. The wicks just lay on the deck.
I haven't had a dry hit since I picked this bad boy up.
