There aren't annoying questions mate
I wouldn't recommend to lift the coil with washers, from the position is placed already, that would affect the draw and it might diminish the flavour and the vapour production.
To avoid struggling the coil or loosening it, it is best to put it diagonally among the posts, having shape it with the help of a needle, until you are used to wrap it by hand. I used to be a vey heavy smoker for many years and I was smoking rolling tobaccos. After the second month I could roll a perfect cigarette in seconds. I believe the same thing applies to the coiling.
No matter how many instructions will be given, after some conscious attempts to make a perfect coil, a kinaesthetic memory is developing in the fingers, and every next coil is better from the previous one.
In this thread, see the previous pages, there are 2-3 methods of coiling, I have used them all and it is just a matter of preference, no need to put washers. But you can put them and prove me wrong, who knows ?
I don't think it would raise the coil at all. The wire would be resting on the bottom nut as before, same height. The washer would hopefully prevent the top nut from pulling or pushing on the wire while you tighten it down. What size are the nuts? I'll grab some washers from Amazon and give it a go, and if it works, I'll report back here
Here's a little diagram:
Code:
= =
_ _
---------
= =
*********
Where the top = is the top nuts, the _ is the washer, the ------ is the coil, and the bottom = is the bottom nut.
