I'm thinking of getting one of these.

$2.74 Vaping Coil Winding Jig Tool for Rebuildable Atomizers - stainless steel / 1.5mm + 2.0mm + 2.5mm + 3.0mm + 3.5mm sections at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I have one of these! very handy, non-intrusive.. and cheap! got mine at 101vape to use for rebuilding the OCCs. fit perfectly inside the wick holes to hold the coil straight.

I do find luer lock tips to be much easier for smaller deck builds, such as the GS coils.

Take a look at this. This is the one I see in your vid..
Dispensing Needle, Blunt Tip 16 ga x 1-1/2" Tip, 50 pcs: Science Lab Needles: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific
Scroll down and the 18 is pink
Danged if that ain't it! So 16 it is...
It's hell being color blind.
I'll state it again, I'm a lazy coiler, I just tried a few different things in the slot of the Air coil until
the pink, purple, foosha needle I happen to grab worked best "ergonomicaly".
I figure it was about the size for the ohms I wanted and would figure out the wraps on the fly through
trial and error.
So whatever you want to use, that's what works best. I wish i had grabbed a toothpick for coiling!
I truly expected at least one other video on this so I could retire mine.
And I figured that video would include exact measurements and lengthy verbal descriptions of
care and feeding of your rebuilt Air coils. :lol:

That's why that little bugger was about perfect! Only the ergonomics of it didn't work with my rat paws. :D

I have considered purchasing something similar if not that, but (here's the "but" monkey)
I use the needle to stabilize the coil while reassembling it and figured it would be awkward.
I could see me hurting myself with it...:lol:

But then I looked at the DIY place where I got mine and they have green and pink in 14, 16 or 18. I have no idea what mine is, but it is green. It fits snugly in the slot.:lol:o_O
I think 14 is green and 18 is pink.

Nah, we are AIRHEADS, this is how we roll. Nothing too specific, rat hands and all. :wub::wub:

on these little micro decks, it is very awkward to use, and prefer a needle tip. I have both 14g (green) and 16g (purple-ish) and like the 16g for GS coil rebuilds.

Then I guess that's our final answer.
I've got 5 more to coil tomorrow. If it doesn't work, back to the toothpick:lol:
