I was wondering...... Why is it that online vendors do not sell things to help make coils...? Like yeah you can buy coil jigs, but that's not what I'm talking about. I have not found one online vendor that sells a drill bit set for wrapping, or torches for heating coils. I mean I don't mind going to a home depot, but I would also like to get my things all at the same time and not piece by piece... I feel it would be more convenient for us and make them more money in the end by making their site pretty much a one stop shop. Anyone agree with this?

Yeah but screwdriver sets are so mundane... if you don't already have them you can find them just about anywhere. Not everyone needs a torch if you already have a gas stove, and there can be issues shipping the needed fuel cartridges for those torches by mail. So even if you could buy the torch from a supplier you may still have to head to a hardware store to power it up anyway.

And it's not every supplier either. Places like Kidney Puncher, nhaler and RTD Vapor sell a lot of tools for building coils. Just to name a few.

It mainly comes down to convenience and other things. like before i purchased the luer blunted needles from kidney puncher I looked around trying to find the exact type of drill bit to wrap coils with. I can understand the torch thing just because it can be dangerous shipping the fuel...

say one site has really awesome prices on some rdas and other things like wire. I purchase what I want from that site, then i figure I could use a coil jig but can't find it on that site but another. 1: that site I just made my purchase on lost a sale, a small one but a sale nonetheless, and 2: now I have to pay shipping for one item that i really want but couldn't get on the other site which in the end makes it not worth the price...

you see what I mean? make it easier for me and in the end I will be more incline to recommend you and return...

Oh I don't know anything about a PT2. Are the coils not exposed at all when they are installed?

lol its kinda hard to explain, but if you dry burn the protank 2 there is a rubber grommet that will burn from the heat and produce a burned taste even if the wick isn't burned. and the burned taste is permanent.

Oh yea okay I know what you are talking about now. That makes sense.

I was thinking, with RBA's it's as simple as wrap coil, install, pulse the button and squeeze with tweezers if you want a micro coil, then wick.
