Good info. This is just what i wanted wire, wick and places to get it not to mention i was wondering about the # of wraps also.
Experiment with 5 - 7 wraps and see what works for you. It takes a little practice to get coordinated wrapping. But I find you can be a little sloppy and just go back and squeeze the coils together with a tweezer (all the way together). They spring back a little and give you the spacing you need. Just follow Busardo's method (which is the standard method). Ask me or someone else if you need help when the time comes. There are a million people who rebuild. It's not hard.
That's exactly where I aim for, between 2.8 and 3.4, and do 4 wraps with 33 ga Kanthal. I wrap the coils about a machine screw so they do come out nice and even, then thread my #1 cotton candle wick through the coil. This makes the coil a tiny bit loose so as to not constrict the wicking performance. Works wonderfully!
Once you get the hang of it you'll find your consistent coil creation technique.
Orders placed for wick and wire, thanks Bronze, Gthompson, and PONKAW for the tips.
There are 10 billion ways to rebuild a Nova head. Pick one way. Perfect it. Then decide if you want to mess with it beyond that. I did just for the fun of it but came back to the standard method using standard glass wicks with standard Kanthal wire because A) it works, B) the novelty of farting around with it wore off.
Need juice recommendations? or just want a few laughs? Or both?

I admire all of you for rebuilding them. Since I don't have any desire to do that, I rinse after every tank or two and dry burn like I used to do with the Phoenix. Still, after a week or so, the flavor drops off and I wind up getting a sore throat. From what and why, I don't know. It's worth it to me to put on a fresh one every week or so.
I'm going to have to get a fly tying vise thing with a magnifier lens to do this.lol

How long have you been vaping for Dancer? And how much do you vape?
That aint funny. It's a perfect tool/setup for doing coils. I raid my tacklebox for all kind of crap to assist my vape hobby. Don't have any fly tying stuff though but wished I had any number of times.
A good pair of side cutters for snipping the wire and wick material are on the list also.
I hate it when your snips are dull or don't quiet snip at the end where you need it the most with small stuff.

True. As for cutting the legs after you get the head put back together...twist them off instead of cutting them off. It detaches closest to the connection point and a cutter cannot do it as close (makes a difference when you are trying to prevent shorts). Just ask GT.
So small square nose pliers would work better (square on the end) i will have to research those. I know of linesman pliers but they are too big.
The smaller, the better. Sidecutters are fine. Think small. Nail clippers work great. For cutting wire and wick.
A small pair of really sharp wire cutters. Best thing, for me, is to get it scored where you want it to break and twist them off when you're done.
I'm getting started with a couple of Nova tanks and have ordered wick and wire. I already have a work station where I do fine solder work with magnifying glass, test equipment, small tools, and snips. Do you guys recommend using a needle or wire straight to wind over with the wick. I've seen some use needles some paper clips.
Six of one, half dozen of the other. Some use a thin wire. Some use nails/screws. Some use paper clips. Some don't use anything. As for me, I use a pin with a round yellow bead at the end (when I remember). There is no optimal diameter. And if someone calculated it, they have too much time on their hands. Good luck cyclo...you sound like your set up so no doubt you will succeed and find what works best for you.
