making Ody/Penny coil wire with crimps

a little while ago it was mentioned on this forum that tiny silver crimps could be used to bind the resistance and non resistance wire needed for the coil in the GG Odysseus Iatty and Penelope rebuildable atomisers ...so when Oneday kindly offered his bag or crimps i though i would give them a go

the crimps in question are 1mm sterling silver tubes
they can be picked up on ebay for a quid or so





so firstly i cut my resistance wire to length adding 10mm to allow
for the crimps and then threaded one to each end





they are tiny ickle bliters and love to fly across the room so i
decided to crimp them in place on to the wire at about 5mm in
from the end with a simple squish with some needle nose pliers





i then took a length of non resistance wire and twisted it around
each side of the crimp





making sure the wire was twisted nice and tightly i held a flame
from a lighter under the crimp and allowed it to glow red and melt
for a second or two... this created a really secure bond





then gave the excess wire a little trim to make them nice and tidy
proper job
