The last few days weird things have been happening to my coils. When I build a new coil I put it really close to the base. After a day of use the coil has moved to an almost straight up position by its self and I cant seem to figure it why. This is happening in both cyclones.

Hmmm... sounds like you've got some coil gremlins....
Do you anneal your wire before wrapping?

Are you building the coil higher off the deck and then pushing it down? That's really strange. Never had a coil move more than a mm or less, let alone as high as you are explaining.
Nope, after threading the leads I lay the coil on the deck snug the screws wick it and raise the coil about the thickness of my paperclip.
If my cap is VERY tight, I will typically knacker my coil when I pull the cap off. When I use the cap from the IGo-f on the cyclone base, ( super tight fit) I will kill the coil EVERY time I pull it off.
Lube your rings or remove one and see if the problem persists.

So weird. I've never seen that and I have been building coils for well over a year now.
I tried this. I pulled the cap off about 20 times and this is most likely the cause both caps were very tight tonight. I did get one to do it and it was very close to what I seen originally. Instead of pulling straight off, I was pulling at an angle to. Thanks Much.
I actually made a thread about that same thing happening to me in the "coil builds" forum.
It was deduced that it happens when the wire was not annealed prior to wrapping. Since I went back to annealing before wrapping it hasn't happened.
Notice how the wire dances / bends when you anneal it. Well that same thing is happening when you fire it I guess
I use a little torch but a bic lighter works just fine. I just run it along the length of the wire, wrap the coil, cut the wire and mount it into the RBA. Then fire, stop firing, run my mandrel thru a few times (to alleviate hot legs) fire again to observe the hot legs magically disappeared then wick and vape like the freak I am
I run 29 ga.

I pull my cap off all the time and have never had the coil move on me. Then again I anneal my wire before every re-coiling also... Just ordered some new ready-X-wick so I can try out the 27g that my bro sXd sent me... I need to get a piece of 1/16" music wire for my home made artistic wire gizmo so I can get back to doing micro's again. The .055 is just too small for me to get the ceramic through...
