Haha not too bad. One little trick I like to do is to wrap my coils a couple more wraps than im building and then flip the coil around and take a pair of pliers and pull the first 2 starter wraps out. That way I have a perfect wrapped coil. It does make a HUGE difference for me. Keep on twistin bro!

Luckily wire's cheap, so you can get plenty of practice. ;)

That's a great tip, and wire is so cheap that there's no reason not to do it for a superior coil.

I treat my coils like they are my babies. Once I wrap one I dont do ANYTHING to disturb it. I see videos of people mounting them and bending them all sorts of ways.. pulling and twisting. Not saying there is anything wrong with that but just from my experiences the less I disturb that precious coil the better it performs. If you ever watch Super_X_Drifters videos I am the same way multiplied by 10 lol. On a side note if you want a great build on a Velocity style deck... try a horizontal 10 wrap dual coil 28G 2.5mm Kanthal dead center over the airflow holes and line the bottom of the coils with the top of the bottom post hole. Bout 35-45 watts Mmmm mmm mmm... so delicious. I am loving this build right now!

Ok so on a side note, I really need to invest in a magnifying lamp with a lamp in order to count my wraps and see enough to put the legs in the holes haha....
