Cheechako, one question. how do you fire and squash a kanthal coil to get out the hot spots, if you don't have an RDA to put it in? Can you use the base of the GS and coil on your mod?
Yes you can, but I don't fire and squash anymore. After wrapping the coil on the needle, I create tension by tightening the coil and pushing it together.
Haven't had the issue with hot spots since I starting doing it this way.
I have a pair of tweezers that will fit in the base through the two openings that I used to use to squash the coil once upon a time.
And, yes I did use my mod to heat up the kanthal in the Air base. Hard to imagine creating the coil in one base and transferring it
to another.
I know you are supposed to create tensioned coils with either precise spacing or all touching without hotspots, and I will never dispute
the technique works, but I'm a lazy coiler and have found no difference between what I do now and when I used to agonize over
creating perfect coils.
When I recoil the Airs, I do 30 to 40 at a time to get it out of the way. And this is the easiest and most efficient way to do it for me.
I applaud your vertical coils! I did several when I was first trying to figure out the best way to redo the GS Air coils. They worked, but it was too much trouble
to me for the performance. Took twice as long as a horizontal coil without that much benefit it seemed to me.
I know there are a lot of folks that would love to see pictures and/or video of how you do it as well as the TC coils!
This is all my opinion and how I do it, what works for other folks is great. You are way ahead of me in your recoiling! I haven't tried recoiling any TC and probably
won't for the foreseeable future, But I sure love hearing about it!
Any other developments? Anyone tried that new all cotton .75Ω coil? 
Plus..this morning I kept getting mouthfuls of juice just trying to vape with it. YUCK!
