i do 8-10 wraps, whatever gauge it takes to get where I want to be. I really prefer 8. Kick time slows with each added wrap.
deb, don't know who designed it, found the image googling one day and kept it because I was impressed.
For those of you with lots of spools of wire these work great.

Those black spots have holes in them, once loaded you just pull out what you need. I gave one to the local shop because sometimes they looked like kittens with a ball of string.

It's made by Plano for holding spools of fishing line.
I use the same thing for holding my teflon wire for building flashlights. As much wire I used to go through, this made life so much easier with all the builds I used to do daily.
Empty fishing line spools were not easy to find (at the time) unless bought in bulk, luckily a local fishing store hooked me up. Transfering 250 ft of wire onto each spool would be very time consuming. I just chucked up the spools in my lathe, attached the wire, & turned the spindle on low. Could do the same with a drill
Fishing line spools are much larger in dia than the spools that res wire comes on though but it would still work.

Dude, you would love this RBA. Their relatively inexpensive and readily available.
Nice! I'll have to look into that! Thanks!
How about 12 wraps, 27g 16 gauge Blunt Tip Luer Lock Needle 1.5 ohm.
I am not real happy with the amount of time it takes to heat up. I do like the diameter of the needle. I think that next time, I will go back to 30g. The smaller gauge would be great for a lower ohm coil. My coils are lasting about 1-2 weeks, with the cotton lasting 1-2 days. Vapor production and flavor is basically the same between 27 and 30g wire. It is just the amount of time it takes to heat up the coil. I also notice more battery drain on the 27g, probably caused by the longer heat time, requiring longer power cycles.
Where's this video? I haven't seen it yet. You holding out on me?
