Figure I post here to let anyone know who has not come by this method - best one I've seen! - All credit goes to Rob McGlothin, who according to him came upon this by accident. Came across this video after the discussion on the Pv3 thread about not torching/dry burning coils and it seems with this method that wont be necessary. Have not had the chance to try it out!

Nice video but making a micro coil isn't rocket science. All I use to make mine is a long piece of wire and a toothpick and they come out just as good every single time. Wrap it carefully, apply tension by pulling on the ends. Place it on your atomiser. Fire it up for a few secs and squeeze with some pliers if needed. You're good to go. Whole process takes only a couple of minutes.
Well good for you soulseek, but try doing that with bad eye sight, poor coordination, arthritis and bishopeals lumpa lumpa fingers (is that the phrase he uses), LOL!
you still burn wires like this seek. Better do it as pin's video if you like tight coils. To my opinion tight coils dont offer something more than closed coils but anyway its a great method
nice trick... good video.... this is the second person ive seen do this....I think the first was in the micro coil thread started by SuperXDrifter.....
but anyhow spaces are cool to

Yeah slip. Nice to see you on GG forum
. The one person who invented/discovered/popularized this method is actually MacTechVpr and here is a video of superx doing it.http://youtu.be/szepI_A6Zu8

great vid aalwani, simple, smart and efficient coiling method ... I've now no reason to torch the kanthal to build the coil
just need to find an efficient way of cleaning glunky coils to get rid of torching !!

By the way my method is using a pin vise/vice. Instead of taping the end of the wire, I throw it in the chuck/collet. Easy peasy. This is how I wrap ALL my coils.

Hot water and toothbrush. But I'm lazy I still dry burn.

thats very easy mon. Put off wick and use a soft toothbrush

Heyhey matey
.....I didn't even realise I was in GG area hahahaaa..... I tend to type in the 'search' box for say 'microcoil' heheee....I will take a look at the GG's but I have to be honest I'm not sure what it is...sorry GG guys
this picture.........
shows a handle with a drill bit or is it a chuck on a handle and if so what is it called?

It's called a pin vise/vice. Google it. Got it from amazon. Basically it is a small manual drill. It is used in arts and crafts. It is like the precision screwdriver but bigger. You put your Palm on the end of it and turn the center with your fingers just like you do with a screwdriver. The advantage is that it has a collet so it accepts different sizes drill bits and you can secure the wire in it.

Stupid question imeo but would it be safe to remove wick and fire the coil under running water? Just asking
under water you can do everything Adam. Water will keep your wire cold. But water is dangerous for shorts.
Also, if you put coil under running water, there is no reason to push the button. Water will do all the job and electricity will do nothing

So yes its ok fast and easy like i thought i am also concerned with people using the thicker and thicker wire it would be worse to dry burn coil and heat wire for micro coils its not actually really touching each other anyways
Thicker than 28 gauge is no use IMO. Or not for RBA's perhaps for RDA's they can be usefull
Disagree too. I like long coils to have larger surface. 26 and 24 wga allow me to have up to 10wraps and a resistance that fits both regulated and mech mods.
I dont know how you vape with so fat and long wires guys. I use 25mm fat coil at 1 ohm resistance and the smoke is small
