Mac, just watched a video of a women making coils with a wireless drill, my question is, is it a tension Coil?
It looked so easy!
They may be coiling for jewelry where this technique is common.
A tensioned contact microcoil is an element created with uniformly balanced strain resulting in adhesion, or the most proximate turn-to-turn contact possible. This is what perfects the microcoil in practical terms.
It's certainly possible to apply motorized tension though. What's extremely difficult to accomplish is consistency. Even for automated equipment. In industry there is specialized equipment and monitoring for strain. Where the calibration is critical it can be quite expensive. Human tension winding makes it possible for us to achieve levels approaching very high precision because of the accuracy of our own on board super computers. And to be honest all the hardware is way far more fiddly than it's worth when you can get those results by hand in seconds.
Without the consistency of tensioned contact you have an imperfect coil that will go hot in spots and cold in others. For those that haven't seen better, what looks like a micro may seem like heaven. But it won't perform much differently than what they're already winding and purchasing.
I'm looking at all these new jigs and tools and feel bad for the folks buying them. It'll be more months or perhaps years for them before they realize that their vape can be improved. Do those that sell this stuff care? What do you think?
You know I really don't have to spend too much time making the case. It's so darn cumbersome to break out all the gear for most of us that it's just not an issue. I'd rather see folks go ahead and try it. There will certainly be few that resort to it routinely. For most of us, it's too much work for the return. But by all means try a pin vise. Most I'm certain continue using one if they're going to wind at all when they discover the difference brought by this kind of accuracy and repeatability.
I'm still here confidently contributing because I know for a fact most of us will see the plain and obvious truth. I've witnessed it countless times. And it's gratifying to me to see that kind of satisfaction in people. That in great measure is my reward.
The ones who stick with it are the ones who actually take the time to try to understand what's being said here. This is not a different kind of winding it's a
method that results in the application of a different aspect of science to the solution. Motorization not necessary, it's a natural process you can do handily on vacation, at work, the boat or a camping trip...
Bottom line, It's simply easy, and it works.
Good luck dan.
