I use a standard coiling tool to make my coils and simple metal tweezers to tweak the coil for hot spots. It's always worked fine. No problems. I remember the first coils I made were a 45 minute ordeal. These days it's 10-15 minutes once a week taking my time with it. It gets faster and easier with practice.

If you remove the cotton and dry burn the Kanthal coil before installing a new wick; I have had a coil last almost 3 months. So remove the wick dry burn install new wick and I am vaping in 3-4 minutes with a coil that tastes like a new coil.

Don't dry burn Nickel or titanium.

I'm a saver when it comes to coils. I only use Kanthal, but when it starts to under perform I remove the old cotton dry burn it and dash it with ice cold water to rinse it up. Sometimes when I am tired of a certain build I may just box the coil after I dry burn it and use it later. So definitely 100% agreement there :)
