If it's any consolation, I had to remove my battery just now and try it to figure that out

hehehehe---I feel better knowing that and thanks. And time is standing still at work knowing I have batts to charge
The ones I get from RTDvapor come mostly charged, if they're at 3.9v or above, slap one in there and hit it while the other(s) are charging.
No more rattles! I gently bent it a bit more and with batts in and full juice bottle..alls good. Oh, and the door does not slide right off
Now if I can figure out how to make it easier to build a dual coil on the RM3, life will be good. Thanks again!

I slide one coil into both posts then bend the ends up, slide the other coil in. I then straighten the legs and position both the coils so that positive legs are same distance from the post and tighten that screw. Then I do the same with other side. Having two drill bits to use in the coils helps and I do this even If I wrapped them on the gizmo.
I did have two separate luer lock needles but...I don't know why, I can't seem to count to 11 twice
So my coil count wasn't correct on one cuz I counted the first half wrap as one accidentally and the screw snapped the wire off any way when I tried to tighten it down. Then when I thread the second coil into the center post, it kept going down and under the other coil versus up and over. But I know it's noob error and I will keep working at it.
I have NO clue how people build quads. I have a better appreciation for all the coil gurus now.
Try building a bunch of coils one after the other, then pick the best two.
Also as they sit loose on the needle you can pull on a leg and the coil will spin as one wrap comes off. I always build with more wrap than I want and then pull on the legs to shorten them. gives me very nice last wraps.
This makes counting the wraps much easier http://www.amazon.com/Bausch-Lomb-Watchmaker-Loupe-5x/dp/B000OVNM6Y/ref=pd_sim_hpc_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0CPG9S3JBFH12PVW2YN2

I do the same as FB but I take a pic of the coil with my phone and blow it up to count the wraps. Then adjust as needed... Goo to here you got it built though Angie. You might want to file your post screws down a little to take off the burr's that are on them. Nothing irks me more than shearing off a wire to a perfectly good coil...
Great ideas!!! Yes I tried to count them on the needle and my eyes went crossed eyed. LOL. So the loupe or taking a pic would work great. I might also try 30g next time cuz I don't have to wrap as many times.
