Gizmo wire coiling jig

[Danrogers]

Hey guys, the gizmo only has one draw back for me, you can only build on the 1/16 rod, does anyone know where I could find a steel rod 1.75mm that I could bend to work on the Gizmo. Any suggestions or ideas.would be greatly appreciated, I have tried all the obvious avenues.

the other gizmo?

music wire?

Did you get the 2-rod gizmo, or the 5-rod "deluxe" gizmo?

The 5 rod, only one rod is usable

Thanks a lot, music wire who knew.

I use the 3mm spindle, about the same as a 1/8" drill bit. That's the perfect size for me. You might try finding some welding rod the size you desire and bend it up into a spindle.

I have the gizmo, and I bent a piece of wire coat hanger into a new spindle.

My caliper reads it at 2.24mm.

Hmmm, maybe I got a different deluxe kit. I know with mine I use the smallest and the next size up for coils and they both work great. Could use the larger rods for mondo coils I guess but I don't use coils of that diameter personally.

I ordered this and used to make 2mm and 2.2mm mandrels.

I do.

To each their own, ya know...

Couple good suggestions here. I have a coat hanger coil jig myself... paper clip also. Should have thought of that.

Never tried the welding rod yet.

Crap!!, a gizmo! Someone told me it was a thing-a-majing. I always seem to be behind...

As long as you're not trying to coil a sumpin for nuppin with a doohickey, you're probably on the right track.

Nice looking build, what wire did you use there and what was the final resistance of the build? I have been playing with all sorts of builds, currently twisted 28 duals, in the Nuppin looking for the perfect vape.

24 ga A1
4 wraps
On most atties at a 4/3 wrap it comes in around .2 depending on looseness and legs

Haven't tested it on the nuppin but it's an extra 1/4 turn each and I think shorter in the legs... not really sure where the bottom legs start to make contact

ETA: Pretty sure it's a 3mm I.d. ... haven't checked in a long while, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it. I think it's the smallest of the larger diameter mandrels that comes with the gizmo.

Yup, good points in that thread for sure. I'll have to try dropping my builds on the Nuppin and see how that goes, don't think I've gone below about .4 as of yet.

Wonder if coil position might not be your issue. Really, that's the tough part about the nuppin since you have to cut the lower leg just right or roll and tighten the slack out before you tighten the positive post and snip.

I mean... if you don't normally build that low in other atties. I just happen to like that build used it in about a dozen atties so far. Only one I didn't like was the one with the huge post holes. Disliked that thing so much I don't remember what it was called. It will come to me.

Well, I've moved the coils in close, out far, down low, up high, haven't noticed much of a difference except for throat hit. Right now have it built centered all the way around and it is vaping well just not part the clouds for light from heaven well. Your coils seem higher but that just because of how wide they are.

 

[beckdg]

I'm guessing you've tightened the grub screws then. I have one or two that come loose from time to time. How about your 510 on your mod? Good connection? The nuppins not very deep. If you've snugged down another atty with a hair too much torque at any time before on your reo, it might be time to rebuild the 510.

Are you building lower ohms than you're used to to get vapor? Should not be necessary much if at all.
