Yes! I had that EXACT same problem of overlapping wire, thanks for posting!
Is it "bad" to pre-mix unflavored ejuice?

I think I was pressing too hard. And I loosened the screw just a bit so it was a little longer. However, I still have an issue with the thinner gauge wires. It could be I need more practice, as I've only had my jig for a week or so
Once you change the screw to the inner hole it works fine as long as you don't push on the revolving part as you wind. Very light to almost no pressure against the coil as you revolve the moving part makes it wind a beautiful coil. You don't really have to back the screw out once you change its location. Backing the screw out can create a notch that binds the wire as you turn.

When I first got my Coil Tool, I got a lot of Overlapping wires also.
It dawned on me that what I was doing was putting a slight Downward pressure on the Coiler thinking it would give me a Tight Coil. So I tried just Rotating the Coiler and let it move more as it wanted to.
Got the Same Tight Coil but the overlapping issue about Disappeared.
Same thing happened to me. I was used to compressing the coil with tweezers after a dry burn. It just seemed natural to compress it while winding, but the result was overlap. Even after reducing pressure I still got overlap. Moving the screw fixed that.

Dave, after testing out a wide variety of coilers and jigs…not a problem for me.
Thick, low-Ω and right as rain.
Just try and get the parallels below on a coiler.
Good luck.

I wound my first coils on a 10 penny nail. Once I discovered step mandrels I was in love!
The Coilmaster is a cool tool, but the coils I make with it look exactly like the ones I made with the nail and the step mandrel, nice even orange glow included.
That said, a vaper has to have the latest and greatest toys sometimes. It's in the blood.
Heard that. Least you were lucky nough like me to see the value of building on a metric early on. Good vapes only great if you can repeat it.
One of them days we're just gonna have to show ya how to give that wind a proper suntan.
Good luck.

Being a Tech Rep type for 36 years before retirement, feeler gauges and micrometers were in my tool bag. In the last half I lived through the transition from SAE to Metric with ease. My SAE feeler gauges got little use after metric hit the tech world.
Where it all got really cool was electronic adjustments where we just changed NVM (non-volatile memory) settings in RAM to adjust stepper motor speed and timing. Most of our adjustments were done on a touch screen or a laptop connection starting in the late 80s.
I once re-wound the armature in one of my Triumph TR-7's failed electric radiator fan motors. It lasted a few months and then it smoked one day. I learned that some things just need to be bought from a factory source! I suspect that I missed a spot taping the armature and the enamel wire got nicked and shorted.

Yeah, I've taken a hammer to some of my builds too.
Good luck.p.s. Mebe need to get back to pre-mixing some base.
