Nice one, I'll have to give it a go, although I'll probably use 0.3 Kanthal.

Great tutorial , I have one question , usually when building coils , I fire them up to look for even glow .

Is that not necessary ? And can use kamthal and what gauge would you recommend ?

Thanks Mr p

I use it for .34mm Kanthal as well Des, no problems.

I was using Ni200 for TC, so it should not be fired as it causes the wire to become very soft and unstable.

As this is wound around a threaded M4 bolt, the coil ends up being a spaced coil as opposed to a compressed micro coil.
For a spaced coil, the wires do not touch each other, therefore you do not need to check for shorts/even glow

For Kanthal, I pre-burn before winding around the M4 bolt.

Great work Greigster

I have a french tank from JWell, that now I can build my coils, courtesy of your tutorial...

Really appreciate this.

Hey Mike, glad it has helped.

I also use it for vertical coils on an Ubertoot, leaving the bolt in until the last point just keeps things all in place.

Yet another great tutorial bookmarked ... Thank you.

Cracking tutorial Greigster

[Greg]

Great guide Greigster, I might give that a try. As the CW is packed in it might be worth increasing the wick hole size or even drilling two more at 90 degrees

Thanks Greg,
It would not do any harm to drill the holes larger, as you say, the cotton wool is nicely but not too tightly packed,but......I have had no problems with the existing size holes keeping up with the wicking even above 40watts.

Fantastic guide Greigster thank you for sharing, it's taken my subtank to another level

Thanks Greigster. Once I get a bit more confident doing straight coils will try this.
