ESSENTIAL tool for coil builders!

[treehead]

O.k. so it's not essential, especially due to the price for a billet of aluminum (being 35$), and even though it's probably common knowledge to most coilers I thought it was too neat not to tell ECF about this time-saving device, hopefully someone who had no idea of it will see this and really want it. It's The Micro Puck by Aerisphere, which is basically a little disk that holds your wire and drill-bit/diameter gauge (which it comes with as well) so you can have a guide and use both hands to make a coil easier. I know there have been a few nights where miss Tequila made me crawl home, and made me feel like a silver back gorilla attempting brain surgery, so I can see how this would be awesome to have around for that impossible coil your trying to build before work etc. Anyway ladies and gents here's a video of the basic idea if your more interested. Cheers my dears! (p.s. ignore the host, I fast forwarded it to the essential bit )

Here's the only place I could find that sells it (and it's currently available only by back-order) (03/18/2014)

Joka, Darkzero isn't selling them anymore. In absence of his jig, here is an even better way to wrap a micro coil with only a simple micro screwdriver.

We have found that turning the jig / mandrel / mold / tool produces more tension and is MUCH easier than wrapping wire around a jig / mandrel / mold / tool. Look at how insanely simple this is bro:

Even easier is the artistic wire gizmo but you probably already have a micro screwdriver

I certainly have found my screwdriver of choice by now lol this does look super simple! Thanks for the share, the only problem is my kanthal isn't on a spool =[

I got in on the last run he was doing. Its a great jig, it ran me 28 bucks with shipping. You can try the micro puck and use the discount code if you google for one. Cost about the same.

I'm gonna check my local hobby lobby. They deal with alot of arts and crafts, they have every metal wire on earth except kanthal or nichrome so chances are good they will have a small coil tool. If not I'll make my own =]

Wow this is the most productive thread I've started , thanks so much! I do have a micro-screwdriver set, and I just rolled a perfect coil that's so tight it's indestructable, without spending anything at that! So easy, thank you again brother.

If you like to compress your coils on your mod, and want to do it without worrying about shorting, these would be good. Gotta get me one.

I have the micropuke and the Wire winding gizmo. Nothing that I've used beats the micropuck for its convenience for winding a pretty great looking coil. The Wire gizmo winds perfect coils but isn't as convenient.

for me if i could only have one im taking the micropuck. For many i would think the wire gizmo would be better based on its availlability and extremely reasonable price and the fact its winds perfect coils.

$35? I'll stick to notched hypos.

For those still interested the coil jig from vapetek with the 510 threader built in is $18.95 at vapor kings in Tulsa, OK. Link is below. I have not purchased one but a friend at work says it is awesome and he swears by vapor kings.

i have the kkvapetek jig and its very easy to use with great features. i got it from vaporkings.com at a perfect price. i think i payed $17.99usd. every coil builder should have one. it even has a 510 connection for a stable base to build on.
