I've also ordered one, Plan to do tensioned coils with it. How you ask, well maybe not. but I'll tell you anyway:closedeyes:


Lock the wire in place be tying a piece to something or in my case by mounting the spool in the coil gizmo with the wire going through a hole in the side of the spool so it does not unwind.

then just spin the side with the mandrel pin while applying tension instead of the small side.

I was thinking of a similar technique, using a pair of small, but fairly heavy, vice grips.

I ordered me one of them coilers that you linked. Hopefully will get it by Monday. Looking forward to comparing the coils it makes to my own tensioned contact coils.

No doubt would be able to be done with next to zero effort (not that a pin vise / drill blanks are all that difficult.)

Great Idea, letting the vice grips hang would apply very consistent tension.

Been doing the tensioning thing using the looping tool and a pair of flat nosed pliers for quite a while. Looking forward to seeing if the coiler is capable of pulling off parallel wraps myself.

What's up Brooke?! Happy New Year to you lad! :toast:

This is to olefolk or (olfolk, can't remember his name) and Filthy-Beast who told me that a 2mm readyxwick would indeed fit into a 1/16 coil from the coiling gizmo:

Congrats, way to go! After I trim the wick I run the smallest Gizmo through the center of the wick

Thanks, distorto!!! If you knew half of the coaching these two men put into me you'd have a migrane, lol. It took me a whole month to get this down.

I'll do that now. Thanks for the tip.

My favorite way to wick RxW (not that I use it very much.) Wrap tip with a bit of saran wrap and twist to a point. Pull the point thru. Voila!

Easiest and best method I've found.

Great! Another trick of the trade. I appreciate it!

Dani, congrats on your success!!! Listen to ole Beast. He knows of what he speaks, LOL!!

I was disappointed you wouldn't mail me a coat hanger, LOL!!! Now I know why. ;) Thank you for the encouragement you gave to this noobie.

Now the trick is remembering how, since you won't need to change that for months. :p

Alas I have a lot to learn. My first test drive caused a coughing fit that required a Ricola to break. I had some issues with draining too. Will need to spend some time with this new beauty and figure out how she moves. I think a big part of the problem is the airflow (which y'all warned about). That hole is tiny and I'm a lung hitter. I'm going to take a whack at opening up the airflow to 1/16.
