my first build

[zoiDman]

Thanks everybody. Was hoping for some positive feedback. I'll definitely look into that jig. I was actually going to order one but decided not to. It's on my list for future orders.

I bought one of these awhile...

$6.67 Universal Tools Wire Coiling Tool w/ Phillips & Slotted & Hex Key Screwdriver Bits - black / 3.5mm + 3.0mm + 2.5mm + 2.0mm winding rods at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Works Great.

I purchased a coil jig and I use 32 gauge wire and I seem to be able to make them on a drill bit better than the jig.. Sure wish I could use the coil jig.. I guess I should practice, but since I use 3mm silca wick and wrap 4 rounds to 1.8 ohms, it seems to be just as easy to hand wrap them.. I get great flavor.

If I'm Not mistaken, the coil jig is really set up for those of us that run kanthal and cotton builds.

Thanks for the reply.. I have used kanthal and cotton builds also.. I am sure it I need practice...lol

Those coils look great.

Doesn't have to be used with Kanthal. I used mine to Wrap NiChrome 80.

And what you put thru the Coil is Really up to the Individual.

That's awesome! What's it ring out to on an ohmmeter?

Is it Me?

Or if you look at that coil Long Enough you see the word "Vape".

LOL

I think thats what they were going for.
Surely wasn't to actually vape with it.

I kinda thought that was what they were doing.

But I Didn't want to say it just In case they didn't.

Very nice justinIm24 for a dual build on your 1st (2nd) try. Only suggestion is try to get those coils up a little bit more so when you cotton it you can dig out a little hole under each coil, the hole should be seen clear through each post (that is, each negative & positive posts on each side), that way, the air flow runs up and under the wicks/cotton, you get a better or tastier vape plus the air flow within the chamber has room to circulate more.

Outside of this, you did a wonderful job as a newbie builder. Kudos!!!
