Well everyone is snoozing after too much exmas pud,so I thought ide wrap some coils on a jig I made at work,made 47 before I got fed up,any one else make a load at a time I find it relaxing and know there's always a coil handy when I want to change out.
coil wrapping marathon.

I don't make them up ahead of time, but it's not a bad idea once you know what your favorite coil is for a device 
Never entered my mind to do so.... silly me.
I may be slow but I get there...... eventually.
Note to self; it's OK to wrap more than one coil at a time (-:

For Protank heads I usually try to have 8-10 made up in advance...I keep several Protanks, Minis, and Evods going at all times. So this usually entails a marathon session every now and then. I made 4 coils Xmas morning before people got up.
Kayfuns and drippers I usually make as needed, but I can whip those up in just a few minutes.

Nope I just make them as I need them. May want to adjust ohms for different juices or power loads so I make them as needed.
The closest I've come to a "marathon" is when I spent a few months trying to do one or two coils a day, just to get better at it. Now, unless I see a design that looks interesting or get a new rebuildable to try out, I don't really do much.
Plus when I get a coil in a device that is working well, it stays in there for quite some time - I have a Russian 91 that's had the same coil in it since around August, when I want to vape it, I pull it out of the cabinet, wick it, fill it, and go!

Ok think I may have an ocd problem,I make different wraps with different grade kanthal so I know near enough what ohms' I'm going to get,the very sad thing is I feel like making more.i don't get out enough lol.
Nope, I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. Several of my mods have coils in them that are over a month old, one of them has a twisted 24GA set up that is over 3 months old in it and still going strong. While I do like making coils, I do not like wasting materials OR removing a good known working build from one of my RDA's. I generally just pull the wick out once a week, dry burn, rinse and re-wick until I deem the coil entirely "dead" or it physically separates/breaks/pops during a dry burn.
To each their own.

When i first started making my own coils about 6 months ago i wrapped for about 8 hours and 5 different gauges of wire, haven't wrapped another since. I have them all sorted by gauge and ID now when i need 1 i just grab one.
Nah, I'm too lazy. I make coils only when I need to; and run them far longer than I probably should. I have attys that have had the same coils in them for months.

I dry burn and re-wick the same coils every few days for weeks, and build only when I want new ones or when I get a new RDA.
Why make 47? That would last a lifetime in my RBAs. I build a coil and use it for months, Just switch the cotton after a few days or so.
