Coil jig

[t8kiteasy]

Simple question,is it worth it to get the new Daedalus coil jig kit,or just keep wrapping using a hand drill?
Save my money for something else or is that kit any easier?

 

[the wind]

maybe you answered your own question.are you happy the effort it takes and product produced?

 

[t8kiteasy]

Yes I am really,and I already new I was trying to become more of a lazy vaper around the house.lol.

It does look like it would cut out some time but then I would not be making it another contraption would.

 

[HauntedMyst]

It looks like not a bad bit of kit for the money if you are into claptons.

Hopefully someone who has one will weigh in, and there are a few threads in the coil and wick subforum, but I don't know how much time it saves over doing it yourself.

I could be wrong but it does seem like you would do one or the other.

It is easier to build with and I do make claptons(hand drill) it is just something about me not actually making it,having something else do it for me.

I think I will pass on this and save the money for something else.

I take the above back. My curiosity just got the better of me and I ordered it?

I will report back this week once I receive it with how/if it is any faster or just easier to build with.

Easier? Certainly. Necessary? Meh.
If you don't have vision or shakiness problems I think the hand drill would be very slightly faster because of a little bit less setup required but there would be no real time saving one way or the other. It took only a short amount of time for me to pick up on the technique and looking at my wires I don't think the daedalus ones could look any better. And that's free handing it, with a dirt cheap tool out of some clip you can let the drill go at max rippums without even looking.
The only real advantage of that jig I can see is that you can "fire and forget" clapton with the daedalus, clean up the dirt under your fingernails while it does its thing

I played around with one at a local shop. The best way to put it is, if you can do it with a drill then it may be faster. If you can't do it with a drill, it won't magically make you better.

I've seen people build their own jig out of the cases or boxes RDA's/tanks come in. Just as long as it's light so it will slide like the jig does, then use a drill. You can hand operate the drill as normal, rubber bands, or a small c-clamp to run the trigger.

In the end it's all personal preference, no different than buying a regular coil jig or just using a screwdriver, to each their own way. Some people like gadgets and some don't care to spend the money and find another means to accomplish the same thing.

Wish I read this sooner maybe my curiosity would have been ceased at that point.
Oh well,at least I can now compare against the coils I build with a drill and this and see what goes from there.

You may very well be pleased with it. Try it and if you are successful, why not try to get a local shop to sell coils you make? Buy some of those little mini zip bags and some white stickers for labels, list what they are and resistance put them in pairs.

I know some people that do this, they may only make $2-$5 a pair but hey, it could recoup the cost of the jig. They sell on Ebay and such and do some exotic stuff and make more.

I really never thought about that but you make an excellent point.
Thank you .

O.k. after using the pro kit the only advantages I see from t is,
1)easier to work with
2)work in a smaller area
3)the kit takes the human error out. The wire comes out basically,..perfect.
4)worth every penny.

Just follow the developments with regulation closely, you don't want to end up as a "tobacco product manufacturer" without a permit
