Question about using pliers to make a micro coil

[supermarket]

So, before I build my coils, I always heat them with a lighter first (the wire), and go from there.

I was attempting my first micro coil (just going through the process really, to familarize myself with it), and I noticed when I lit the wire in order to squeeze the coil together afterwards, there was black soot or whatever all over it.

This never happens when I light the coil, but I tried it again, and it did the same thing again.

Is this coming off of the pliers?

no it's normal. If it bothers you, you can clean it off. I do.

Heating and squeezing either before or after wrapping was 15 minutes ago

Here's an even easier way to do it without pliers and heat and produce a tighter micro

Yea its normal with when you use a lighter instead of a torch. It wipes off pretty easy and doesn't effect your build.

Sup just wanted to take a minute to thank you publicly for your truly exceptional effort above.

As you may by now know a few of us have been the past 4 months building a modest gateway to transition newcomers to rebuilding using microcoils on M_DuBb716's thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/clearomizers/486794-protank-microcoil-discussion.html

A good part of this for me has been trying to broaden the science and mechanical principles being applied to get new vapers there faster. After lurking for some time and a multi-month-long journey that is the odyssey of ECF's pages I picked up at metalhed73's great basic localization thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tips-tricks/463771-protank-cotton-rebuild-way-i-do.html which began to detail the essentials of proper electrical symmetry for the Kanger ProTank.

So you have only yourself and these two bums to blame for getting me mixed up in this mess.

I wanted once again to express my gratitude for considering the mechanical principle of tension and adaptation to tighter builds with the proper objectivity and the curiosity of a wild man.

And of course, for putting these great videos together around it.

You are a scholar and a gentleman.

Good luck.

You're welcome and thank you Mac for pointing the way to a much easier way to get to the destination.

I like that "curiosity of a wild man"

It would fit me better if it was succeeded by "but one of the narrowest minds I've ever encountered"

Thanks again bro
