What kind of coils did you get? Kanthal? Nichrome? NR-R-NR? What device are you using?
There are many premade coils on the market--some are good. Fasttech sells premade coils in bundles of 50 or 100, prewicked and with no wicks, for 2-3 bucks a bundle. Many people use them and claim they are better than stock coils. Some fancy places sell premade twisted kanthal coils for rebuildables.
