GOING TO TRY DOING MY OWN COILS!

[frjaldomr]

This is my biggest problem. I actually just built my first coil for my Subtank a few days ago. Mostly out of curiosity not necessity and the hardest part was trying to get my hands to stop shaking long enough to get the darn screws back onto the base while holding the coil in place.

I'm curious...do you have the coil on a drill bit or screwdriver while attaching it to the post?...and do you have to take the screws all the way out on your rda? Just wondering...

I GOT THIS BABY TO TRY TO DO! PLUS A FEW OTHERS!
AUTHENTIC USA made Veritas rda Vertical Coil rda by iHybrid

OMG , that is "AWESOME" it's my all time favorite RDA for pure flavor and i just have a clone . Congrats , doesn't leak either unless you grossly overfill .

A lot of coil wrappers think that thing is hard to build on but it's really not , single coils work fantastic with it , it does take doubles though.

whoa. diving right into dual vertical coils. Awesome.
my advice. dont fill a tank more than half full till you get the hang of it.
emptying, wasting, or vaping through a full tank because of a bad build sucks.
you should think you're an expert after 3-4 builds. then youll leak a whole tank while its sitting or something.
keep going though. it doesn't take long to get it.

Good Luck!

disregard for dripping. brains already quit for the day

FROM WHAT I KNOW OF NO THE SCREWS DON'T HAVE TO COME RIGHT OFF!
JUST LOOSEN THEN ENOUGH TO WRAP AROUND THE POSTS!
I HAVE PLACED MY SCREW DRIVERS IN A MAGNET TO HELP HANDLE THE SCREWS EASIER!
MY DAD TAUGHT THAT TO ME MANY YEARS AGO!

I WANT TO TRY DOING THE DOUBLE COILS IN IT!

This is my biggest problem. I actually just built my first coil for my Subtank a few days ago. Mostly out of curiosity not necessity and the hardest part was trying to get my hands to stop shaking long enough to get the darn screws back onto the base while holding the coil in place.

I just loosen the screws and the legs of the coil slide right next to it and then tighten them back up a bit, adjust the position of the coil and then tighten them all the way up. I hate having to place tiny screws in tiny holes with the size of the mitts on the end of my arms. But when I need to (like mounting a new mother board for my computer into the case) then I use a very fine needle nose plier to hold the screw head and twist.

Of course for me I have to mount the coil under a desk lamp magnifying lens as even with reading glasses it's not enough for me to see that fine of work.

I use the Realspace clamp on magnifier from Office Depot: http://www.officedepot.com/catalog/...ge Zone||&cmPredSearchABTestAttr31=magnifying

I had to get it when I thought I was going blind, my sight kept getting worse and worse until I could only see out of the corner of my eyes, then finally went to a eye doctor (I didn't go prior since I just thought this was it, I was going blind and nobody could help) and it turned out to only be cataracts in both eyes, so they fixed it and I can mostly see now but still need the magnifying lens to see really small stuff like the coils legs.

None of my RDAs require removing the screws completely...I was just wondering if he had some strange, unique dripper...and I find that keeping a coil on the bit or screwdriver you wrapped it on, while inserting it into the posts, makes it far easier and gives much greater control with regards to positioning.

If you can wrap string around a stick while keep the wraps uniform and close to one another you can make a coil with ease.

Instead of blowing money on coil wrapping gizmo's, just use a machine screw in the size you want your coil diameter to be and wrap wire around the machine screw , when you reach the length your looking for just unscrew the coil from the screw.

Perfectly wrapped coil result every time , this is not necessary for the majority of people since wrapping around a drill bit is easy as it gets for most.

I USE A MACHINE SCREW FOR SPACED COILS, AND THE DRILL BIT/MANDREL FOR CONTACT COILS.

I LEAVE IT ON THE MANDREL UNTIL I HAVE THE SCREWS TIGHTENED DOWN. THEN I USE THE MANDREL TO POSITION THE COIL BY BENDING THE LEGS AS NEEDED TO GET IT STRAIGHT, LEVEL AND THE RIGHT DISTANCE FROM THE AIR HOLE. ONCE ALL THAT IS DONE, i PULL THE MANDREL OUT AND PUT IN MY WICK.

I use a Jewelers Magnifier it fits on your head. It has fold down lens so you can increase the magnification and L.E.D lights so you can see where you need to. I use it for gun smithing and winding coils.

I didn't even know about the machine screw method until i saw someones results with it , i couldn't believe how well it turned out .

yes; when you have to screw down can be a pain; the post hole system helps alot

YES I DO HAVE SERIOUS BAD EYESIGHT THE CANCER HAS AFFECT MY EYES, AND I WILL BE BUYING ONE OF THEM VERY SOON! THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME I NEED ONE!

I use the veritas too, but I use the 30mm one; much easier on the eyesight

MY COIL MASTER V3 CAME IN YESTERDAY! HAPPY TO START MAKING MY OWN!

I'M NOT SURE IF ANYONE HAS POSTED THIS OR NOT. BUT THIS IS A GREAT SITE FOR ANYONE WHO BUILDS THEIR OWN COILS.

SOLID POINT. I COULD NOT BUILD COILS WITHOUT MINE, WHICH IS AN $18 HOME DEPOT SPECIAL

Why do people keep yelling at us! That's what capital letters are on forums.

I gather you didn't read the thread. Our correspondent, @LadySueEllen has some difficulty with her vision. While I don't normally engage in forum shouting, in this particular case I am prepared to make an exception.

Glad my wife don't yell at me every time she is upset. I would never have any peace.
