Hi! Sorry so late with this, but yes, you do want to try it! It is a lot easier than I thought! Making a great one may take a little practice, but it does depend on the device as some are easier to work with than others.... The whole point of wrapping the coil around a drill bit is that it can be used for a longer time. It will eventually wear out or pop on you.... The way they are doing it makes it so much simpler! They just leave in the coil they wrapped and thread the wick through it. The other way, you have to wrap and install the coil every time... It is actually the installation that can be the tricky part, imo. To wrap was simple, for me! You just wrap it around.... However, you do want to make sure you get the ohms in a certain range. That is another good part of re-using the coil, you already have it at the ohms you like!

Sorry for rambling, but hope that helps! AND:

This is the same kind of method I use. After you make your wick, I use SS, take a dry wall screw that is the same diamater as the wick. Not the total size of the screw but the inner part without the threads. Take your wire and loop it around the screw using the threads to make perfect coils. Leave some extra at the start and leave some extra at the end. Wrap the wire the total number of times you need for your prefered resistance. Hold the wire and un-screw the screw from the wire. Attach the wire to your device and then fit the wick through it. Squinch the wire down only enough to fit under your positive post and then test fire for hot spots. Usually if any hot spots are detected, it will be from the contact to the wick and not the coil. Nudge the wires up and down slightly as you test, or even twist the wick around until all coils fire evenly. After that :vapor:
