Coil Turning Habbits

[Hans Wermhat]

Also use a q-tip stick sometimes. I have a lil coil jig-a-ma-thingy that came with my Perseus, but it's kinda small to hang on to. I use a 1/4" pop rivet for larger coils. Screwdrivers, drill bits, whatever is handy. It really doesn't matter what you use as long as it works for you.

I have a kuro, and a 'universal tools' coiler

$6.67 Universal Tools Wire Coiling Tool w/ Phillips & Slotted & Hex Key Screwdriver Bits - black / 3.5mm + 3.0mm + 2.5mm + 2.0mm winding rods at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I have one of these Universal Coil Tools Also. It Works Great.

And the Detachable Rods are Very Handy for holding the Coil in place when you screw down the Coil to the Deck.

I always build spaced coils, so a 6-32 machine screw is my tool of choice (2.5mmID)

Oh, and a old school coil jig. That screw fits nicely in the hole for the posts, easier than trying to hold the screw and wrap.

Various drill bits. I like to have 2 of each size so i can wrap 2 coils and set them at the same time!

I've been wrapping coils for quite some time just using a set of micro screwdrivers but it seems like using the coilmasters and kuros are a huge help to people just starting.

Bolts are a must have for people messing around with temp control. Perfect every time.

I use the screwdrivers in my Stanley precision screwdriver set, usually the 3 mm diameter (marked on the handle).

The precision screwdriver set I got a long time ago in high school. It is comprehensive enough for my needs. I eyeball the fancy coil winders and end up buying more juice.

Heck yes, The only thing is after using them for a long time the black finish wore off.
Dry burn, dry burn, dry burn (the coils before you wick it)

Drill bits and the same thingy Gandy Marsh uses

I'm still waiting for the 100 watt regulated coiler.

The best part of this thread is that "habits" is misspelled as "habbits", so every alert I get looks like there was a new post in "coil turning Hobbits". Which is a great image.

$3.05 Vaping Coil Winding Jig Tool for Rebuildable Atomizers - aluminum / 1.0mm + 1.6mm + 2.4mm + 3.2mm + 3.5mm winding rods at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
It has 510 thread, so can be used a stand for a tank after coil is ready.

A set of Stanley skill drivers. Nothing fancy but the handle base is nice to press against to keep coils tight
