What is squonking?
Hey guys. Just remembered today I had an RM2 my sister bought for me a while ago (cause she knew I wanted a spare and she's pretty great like that). Went to go build a coil on it and noticed the posts on the 2nd one are much more uneven than on my 1st one. Uneven and one is even facing away a little, kinda like a quasi-lazy eye. Haven't actually used it since building on it is significantly less easy than building a coil on my trusty RM2 #1. What do you guys suggest I can do? I'm a novice at best when it comes to self-modding.
This is my 1st RM2 (shot from the back. 10 wraps of 28 gauge Kanthal @ 1.2 ohms)

I have my first rebuidable atomizer (an RM2) coming in the mail and I need to get myself an ohm meter, any recommendations?
What do you wrap coil on, what size drill bit??? Thanks.
Sorry hub hadn't seen this post. I use Darkzero's micro coil jig. There's a small mandrel and slightly larger one, I use the larger one. I think the smaller mandrel is 1/16" and the slightly larger one is 5/64"? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Y'all have to check out this jig. @flavored did a video on it over in the big micro coil thread. It's the easiest way to make a perfect pro tension wrapped micro coil you can imagine.
No more heating and squeezing, you just keep your wire on the spool, wrap the end around the vertical piece (or under the nut and bolt that I added) hold your spool of wire and turn the handle on the jig.

The details don't really say. What sizes mandrels does it come with?
