There is. It's called fingers. Nothing works better if you hands are capable of doing it and the best thing is you can't lose em.
Well this thread appears totally dead. Heeeellllloooooo! Anyone home?

It's hardly "dead", however, not many have posted their results using dual coils, which seem to be getting more popular each day. Trust me, if someone posts a new configuration, with all the information for the spreadsheet, it will be updated. Even so, it is still a handy "reference" for starting points.
I'll be making my 1st coils for my new Reo Grand tonight! So this thread has been a helpful start.
The wire I've ordered still hasn't come in yet (100' of each 26ga, 28ga, and 30ga), but I didn't want to wait on it anymore with the weekend starting and all. So I picked up some 28 & 30ga today at lunch from my local B&M.
From what I've seen I should probably work with a 1/16 bit? Maybe I'll feel different once I've started, but it just seems so small, will I even be able to get cotton in that small of a coil? Well I guess we'll see.
I think I'll be happy if I come out around 1-1.3 Ohms. So from what I've read maybe 8 or so wraps with 28ga.
Oh, and my coil building experience is limited to the few I've done for my ST Mini using 24ga, came out to 0.6 Ohm
I mostly wrap 1/16, it's not hard to wick at all, and yes with 8 wraps you should be around 1 ohm. Good luck and enjoy, remember wire is cheap so play with different numbers of wraps and how you position it in the RBA in relationship to the air hole.

1/16", 28g, 8 wraps great starting point. Use as a reference and go from there. 8 wraps is good number for true single "microcoil'. Gives good surface area around wick. More than 9/10 wraps too much, less than 6 not enough. I would stay between 6/8 wraps for a single coil setup then adjust to taste, warmth, & flavor by changing resistance by changing gauge of wire. 28,29,30 being the most popular.
HERE is a link to a video SuperX did on building/wicking, worth a watch to get you going with ease
If you're in a rush and want to cut to the chase, it's at about 10 minutes in exactly, but I'd really recommend you watch how he cuts the KGD at the start.
bumping this thread cuz i needed to find AP's handy spreadsheet
Here is the spreadsheet, when you only build a new coil every few months, it helps my addled brain to remember what I'm supposed to do
I have to do that too. I use either Steam Engine or Cigtoy app.
