just brush the late to light coil with the tip of your tweezers or whatever you stroke the coil with, and if needed try to nudge them into similar shapes,height and stand off from the posts testing the results of each lil tweek with a test fire.. after a little attention, probably very little they will start to glow in unison, if you can count

I've always tried to get them quite tight, this coiler does rather a good job of that, might have to get my magnifier out to count the wraps

OK then, who's got a dunces cap to spare? Checked the coils, 1st one was pretty much spot on 0.5ohm, I THOUGHT I'd wound the second one the same but it measures 0.3ohm Time to start again, I'm way out of practice, been lazy and used my aerotanks all this year, and now the subtanks have arrived they have taken over, this was my first build of 2015 Many thanks phatfil & kreed

Easily done Q, that's the trouble with my microcoils, they last so damn long that I'm out of practice! I have now picked up a Kuro Coiler 2mm, so 1ohm coils to used dualled using .4 Kanthal and the 2mm former will be a doddle I hope!

Of course my other problem is that I'm not REALLY sure what wire I'm using, the kanthal I had was too thin to use unless I twisted it, FT listed some pre-twisted so I ordered it (months ago), opened it yesterday and it isn't twisted at all, but it is a much heavy guage wire, quite stiff (ideal for Rose v2 builds) but forms around the Kuro VERY nicely
