Isn't "clockwise" what is being referred to in the last few posts? If not, then yes, that's how I do it too.

I wrap my wire so it is counterclockwise so it "pushes" the wire toward the coil. This is how many seasoned coilers do it and with good reason. To wrap the wire clockwise will tend to pull your coil apart. That said, there are worse things in life.

Maybe it's the size of my coils or the way I have it running across the deck, but I haven't seen any problems with the clockwise wrap. The ends line up almost perfectly to where they need to go under the screw.

You can have them run counterclockwise just as easily. All depends how you shape your tails. It helps to keep your coil on the shaft you used to wrap it with while you tighten the tails. Helps to keep its shape. But like I say, there are worse things in life so go with what works for you. As far as life-importance goes, I would place tail direction pretty low on my list.

I do it clockwise:

If you wrap it the other direction (counter-clockwise), it tries to spit the wire out as you tighten down the screw.

Learned that the hard way.

That looks like about 14 wraps.

I do clockwise as well, if the coil separates a little bit I just fire and squeeze .

Hopefully not at the same time.

You can if you have ceramic tweezers , got to get some of those .

So here's a KFL question. When you connect the coil which side of the screw do you put it on? One side pulls the other pushes. I put it on the pull side or the 9:00 side. Either way the coil gets distorted a little. I've made a washer of sorts to go under the screw on one side as a test. It seems to do the job. But I made it from brass and it was a pain. I'm going to get a strip of SS and try it. The thing I'm trying to do is keep the coil from moving when you tighten it.

I usually put the wire on the underside of the screwhead, seems to hold the wire better
Pre-position the wire a bit less of the rotation of the screw, as you tighten it will follow the screwhead and fall into the correct orientation when tight.

I do vertical coils in my 3.1 so it really doesnt matter which way its wound

Today I received my sub ohm kit for the REO GRAND...
Voltage drop IS ALL BUT GONE..
GOOD TIMES ARE AHEAD..
