A quick re-visit to an aging thread:
The coil jigs.... The artistic wire gizmo has been a popular item and has been discussed often. I own one. It works... I found it a lot easier to just wrap my
coils around a screw I found on my desk or just wrap them around one of the rods that came with the gizmo. So, as far as I'm concerned, it's sort of a toss up between just using one of those rods the OP linked to on avidvaper.
The Coil Master is more or less a Kuro clone... but even though the interchangeable heads was a good idea, they got the distance between the hole the wire runs through the handle and the shaft wrong so it has a tendency to make the wire stack on top of itself instead of coiling up the shaft. It's a real pain. There are other Kuro clones... some better than others, but all of the interchangeable heads or interchangeable bits versions have similar problems. The worst of the bunch is the one that comes in a plastic box that actually says "kuro concepts" right on it (I love RTD but he should stop selling that bit of junk).
If you want a stick-style coil jig, either get a Boom Boom Revolver (from maple vapes) or get a real Kuro direct from Jon at Kuro Concepts... If you choose a real Kuro, you might want to do that soon. He isn't going to manufacture his newer design and I sort of wonder if he will continue manufacturing the original Kuro. It took less than 2 weeks from the first
reviews of the Kuro for clones to start appearing (99.9999% of them are junk, and I won't get in to my personal appreciation for American made goods.... lots of folks just look at the price tag and the color and stop right there).
Of the two I just suggested - I like the Kuro better because it's simpler. There's no center screw to mess with and since I really don't have any reason to remove the shafts, there are no loose parts to lose. - It is worth mentioning: Kuro comes in three sizes where the revolver gives you all three sizes in one kit, so it's more expensive to own all three Kuros. -- Also worth mentioning: It's a lot cheaper to do your homework and buy a working, quality item like a real Kuro or Revolver rather than buy 4 or 6 or 10 or whatever items that *look* like them just to find out they are not.
