Finally! I figured out our new camera. It's been sitting here a long time and I was intimidated so was ignoring it. Turns out it's not so hard to use.
Ok MacTech, here ya go! And thanks for offering to take a look. These coils are about 3 weeks old. I pulled the RxW out so they can be seen better.
I used the 16 g leur lock for these so they aren't as tight as the ones I make on my gizmo. I'm doing them vertically because I seem to get less seepage out of the airholes this way. Good? Bad? Room for improvement?
I really, really like those vertical cross-overs penny. I pay a great deal of attention to the ergonomics of rebuilding. How we can best take advantage of the mechanical processes to improve the vape. This is what I see. If you have a screwdriver or pin vise with a bit the size that you wound those, you have a lot of leverage. When you set those verticals you put the bit down through the wind and stretch it taught (not tight) to set its final position. Now i notice you have a bit of vertical tilt. But having that leverage when you retention outwards you can also tension in the opposite direction of tilt to both orient the most outward position and the vertical alignment. It just takes a sturdy enough tool and some levarage. I build a lot of these btw.
Now it seems to me the advantage of the cross-over then is that when you do this final set adjustment and you tilt the bit you're also applying tension to those final end turns both sides forcing them to sat down! Purdy good there penny. And that's what you want end-to-end uniform adhesion when you pulse and oxidize that thing. No torching and a minimum of scrunchy.
All in all a pretty build. Like I said I'm likin' your cross-overs.
Take care and good luck penny.
p.s. you can stick that Leur blunt in a pin vise (or use the syringe for leverage as super_X suggested).
