Think
Just an FYI.
I got a set of Metric micro bits from Harbor Freight. Item # 61526.
.5 , .6, .8, 1, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2.0, 2.35, and 3.0 mm sizes and multiples of each size.
Was only $3 on sale.

Was wondering mostly about rebuild cores?
I like .75 ohm but understand they are a pin to rebuild so I figured I would just build 1.5 coils into .75's?
Had 4 boxes of 1.5 but piffed them out to a smoker along with a basic and an extra tank.
You can drill out the bottom pins to increase the airflow a bit, it's not that hard with a pair of pliers and a drill.
Please keep us posted as I like the .75 coils!
If you want to use them for rebuilding, they are a little different from the stock ones. I don't recommend them at all because they don't interchange with the stocks.
You have to remove the middle of the top on those don't ya?
I pulled everything out of the bottom on one. Think I see a tight seam about .5 mm in from the top edge.
Need to make a jig to work that I think.
I have enough .75's for a couple of years but this is a challenge.
Also, those pins are bigger in diameter and the holes are smaller. It's vise versa for the stocks so that's all the more they aren't interchangeable. 
If you're talking about the .75 coils, yeah, they have the manhole cover instead of the cap and are a pain simply due to putting
the manhole cover back. Some are easy and some will test your soul.
Ask @Leopards , he's rebuilt some.
To the person that asked about the stock coils:
The 1.5 ohm coils are wonderful. For at least a year before Cheech and others discovered the joy of rebuilding these, we would all discuss how wonderful they are. The GS series of tanks and the 1.5 ohm coils are great.
As to what to wrap your wire around:
If you happen to have a 14 gauge blunt tip luer lock needle the outer diameter (OD) is 2.1mm.
Also, the "little blue screwdriver" has an OD of about 2mm. I prefer this one from Mitten Vapors:

Dateline Hawick Scotland Friday 17th June 2016 - Your Correspondent has just had to dash out of the shower to answer the door. At the door He found a postman with a package. It was from Heaven Gifts in Chinese China - half the world away! It contained 5 packets of 0.78 GS coils and two GS Air tanks.
So what's so remarkable about that? The order was placed last Saturday viz the 11th of June!!!!

if you chose dhl global as your shipping option it's par for the course!
but even china e-packet has proven to be quite speedy 
Finally had a 1.5 coil bite the dust. Did a rebuild and came up with 1.29 ohms. Close enough for me. Didn't have a lot of trouble getting the outer cap off this time after finally using the base of a 16.5mm Air tank to hold the coil in place while removing it. I had been using the base of a 19mm Air, but the coil gets deep into that base and it seems to capture it and prevent removal of the cap. If you loosen the coil, it often just comes right out of the base and you have to start over.
Honestly, the whole process is a bit torturous for me because of my unsteady hands. Many steps had to be repeated along the way to get them done properly. But, bottom line, I did get it done and am vaping with it. Oddly enough, the step that gave me the most trouble this time was getting the cap back on straight. Kept getting it a bit crooked but finally got it right enough that it works.
I had done one other a few weeks ago, and it took this long for a coil to wear out so I could do it again. Hard to get practice when the 1.5 coils last so long.

I think most here would agree that the .75ohm and 1.5ohm factory coils are actually very good. The 1.2ohm seem to be not quite as good for most folks.
But, when the bright folks here figured out how to rebuild the coils (especially the 1.5) it just makes sense to do it. Saves quite a bit of money in the long run, but, perhaps most importantly, safeguards against the future when the coils could become a lot more expensive or difficult to get.
