What do you guys use to wrap your coils?

I use drill bits, or a screwdriver that came with a glasses repair kit, which is slightly smaller than a 1/16 drill bit. A cheap drill set is cheap, you don't need quality. Or just buy the smaller ones separately, I picked 2 1/16 drill bits for like $2 at wallyworld after I broke 2 trying drill the airholes in an igo-w.

Go to the Dollar Tree store and get a little screwdriver set....use the smallest one to wrap on. Or get a little glasses repair kit and use the screwdriver. Some people even use round toothpicks. No need to spend much money. Best Electronic Cigarettes and E-Liquid - MyFreedomSmokes.com sells syringe needles....I think 16 gauge is what you need.
I use a toothpick or the screwdriver that I use on my atties. I think it came with an A7? Or if I am using xc-116 I free hand it around the wick.
I didn't buy anything special and my coils vape just fine.

recently i use those really small allen wrench sizes were really good from 3mm going down to 0.5mm in 0.5 increments... so it's
0.5 - 1 - 1.5 - 2 - 2.5 - 3 mm's really nice i can do all kinds of experiment builds it cost me $1.50 in a local "Daiso" store... i saw some in a dollar store once but i liked the latter better coz of the size option.... i'm sure they will have those also in electronic/computer shops but for more bucks...

I have the Darkzero jig too, and it's fantastic.
That said, I can (and sometimes do) make a fine coil on the small screwdriver or a 1/16 drill bit.
You gots to keep your skillz up. What happens if the Zombies come and steal my jig ?
backups for the backups baby...

I have been using the Deezy jig too. Love it. It makes it much simpler to crank out perfect micro coils.
I liked needles and had great results with 16 and 17 ga needles. Even 14 works great, I just prefer a slightly smaller diameter coil.

regular old drill bit for me, not a fan of the needles as the luer lock plastic bit doesn't let me get a good enough grip. I slide the kanthal in the last bit of channel on the bit, put my thumb over it and start wrapping.
Small c-clamp and a drill bit for me. Plus you can use the drill bit to scrape out the inside of your coils after dry burning. I haven't gotten around to pestering DZ for a jig yet but I will one of these days.
You should. I was also using a c-clamp and bit. I was amazed at how much easier it is it get a nice tight coil on DZ jig than the clamp and bit, you wouldn't think there'd be much difference.
Those DZ jigs look very nice! Figured I would never get my hands on one so I made a McGyver model! 4" piece of 2x4, put a screw on one end and screwed almost all the way into the wood leaving a small gap to wedge one end of wire, drilled a 1/16" inch hole at the other end of the wood block and left the drill bit in the wood. Works the same way as the DZ just not as fancy!
I have the DZ jig, but so far still using pre-made coils because i have a lot of them and i am lazy
I used a hand clamp and a 1/16th drill bit. It worked pretty good, having an actual vice would have been better. Then I got DZ's jig and its been fantastic.
I use a 1/16 music wire that has a 90 degree bend. I just hold the wire end at the bend then wrap.
I use my thumbnail to push against the first coil to keep them tight.
It is not the best thing but it does work for me.

Where are all these DZ jigs coming from??
DZ do you have a secret club????
I am going to "McGyver" another jig using a smaller post than my current 1/16 bit. I have found myself using xc132 wicking as well as cotton so I am looking to do a small enough post so I can just slide the XC on the post without stretching the inside then just wrap the coil around the post AND xc.

I spoke with DZ prior to ordering my jig. Since I was using XC-132, I ordered a 5/64 mandrel with mine. The XC slips right in once the coil is built and installed on the RM. Note that I build the coil, pre-burn it, compress it, and position it prior to putting my XC-132 inside of the coil.
