Thanks to Dani, I'm now down to maybe 450 feet left...
Thank you for helping me, gopher.I always appreciate you.
Gopher sent me a nice fat ziplock bag full back in the spring -- I'M STILL USING IT! (Thanks, Goph!)
You can't use this stuff UP!

Need help from former MFS (MyFreedomSmokes) customers
Has any found a supplier or company that has tobacco e-juice like or very similar to MFS Turbosmog, Tall Paul, or Red Luck?

Okay, So here is my take on the coil winding tool. While it works and is fairly effective when wrapping straight up round Kanthal, it can be a somewhat of a PITA when using anything twisted. Twisted wire has the tendency to overlap. I was able to get it to work by making the necessary adjustments while performing the wrap but in all honesty, I find that I can wrap any coil faster and tighter when wrapping free hand. With that being said, I do not plan on giving up on it as of yet and will continue to play with it over time.
Now, this one is for Soignee....Using the 7/64 (2.8 mm) bit, I wrapped a twisted 28g coil to a 5/6 wrap to get to 0.6 ohms. Its not some of my prettiest work but effective none the less. Went to work wicking it up with the 3 mm RWX. It took a bit of coaxing but I was able to get it in by cutting the right angle and wetting the tip with a small drop of water. I left the whole length to have a more to work with and even though a strand came loose while doing so, I just kept at it and it went in.
As for the RXW itself, while I like the fact that you can dry burn it in place, ( and have put quite a bit of time on my 2mm build with Roundhouse which can gunk and kill a coil and wick) I still find that for me, the flavors are somewhat muted and not quite as clean when compared to KGD and Cotton Bacon Wicks. This may just be my own taste buds coming into play. So with that being said, I am still not sold on the RXW.

Thanks for the insight DB!

Great review, distorto!!! I am still not sold on the winding toy and am afraid I wasted money because I have now learned to use my coiling gizmo and can now thread my rxw into it. It's in my drawer and I plan on playing with it on Saturday. I still don't like it that there aren't any marks on it telling the sizes because I'm not a guy and don't have them memorized, but I'll think of some way of labeling them.
Still love my RXW. I find that gets better with age and use. I feel it gets the most flavor after the first few days. BUT I am a new vaper. I'm doing to try some of gophers rayon just to compare. The only issue I had with cotton was that it burned the heck out of my lungs (this was before the Reo) and then after I got the Reo, I had to change the KGD everyday, if not twice a day. I just could not get it down right. The RXW seems indestructible to me.

what's the smallest rxw comes in, anyone know? I've been trying to find out but my google foo is weak.
It barely fits into a 1/16th coil. I was using it a 5/64, but finally grasped the skill of getting it into a 1/16th. I have more coming my way, do you want me to send you a few inches? 1/2" is all you need for a coil.
Just found this thread, looks fun, and useful. Hey all, seems I know several of you

Um, little reverse sexism going on here?
Last time I looked I'm a guy, but I can't tell a 1/16 from a 3/32 unless I take the bit out of the marked holder...
DB on the other hand is a super guy though...he might be able to tell by just glancing at them

It's really quite simple as 3/32 is only .8 mm larger than 3/32 and then of coarse 5/64 lies in the middle at 0.4....
What's the problem again?
My eye for bit sizes comes from many years of drilling the wrong sized hole. This tends to learn ya a bit. ( pun intended)

Heck, I just keep a sticky note on my desktop with the sizes on it...my kids have nail polish if I really need it.
I did just twist up a 5/64 28g twisted targeted @ .4 that came in @ .51, I'll have to measure the overall length and the legs etc... so I know what to plug in to SE to hit my target from now on. It did produce a very nice tight (which I loosened) coil in about 30 seconds though...what was that about the middle??
I like the knurles though...
for anyone interested, the eGrip factory head lasted me about a week with probably 2 tanks a day run through.
using the RBA now with pre-installed coil.. I thought I liked the heads, but this is so much better! very airy, but better!
edit: nope.. not today anyway.. went through way too much juice too quick and started leaking from top and bottom.. will fiddle.
edit again: aaahh.. darn thing was missing an o-ring! that'll cause leaks. I rewicked with rayon and will try again later..

My Dad had me in his shop as soon as I could walk so I managed to learn eventually.

Do we know you?
Always refreshing when a lady knows a tool as something other than a four letter word.
