ok thanks blakey, can the joins of the wires go past the 2 top far edges of the ceramic diameter or must the whole wind section sit only in the grove. raggy............ It's better if the joins sit in the top section of the channel like this Just make sure no wire is protruding on the positive wire that that runs down the ceramic channel to avoid any chance of a short.

well frankly im having bloody mare with it all. it took me 2.5 goes and i have a 1.7/1.8 ohms. its running just fine at the minute on .5 to .75 turns on the juice control. my main problem is i have big hands and i cant see as well as i could so i have a magnifying glass in my mouth and the bloody thing keeps steaming up, have to keep swapping glasses etc etc. i found joining the wire a bind, but i now join as normal, flatten then do 3 wraps over the flattened join (i see this on a vid via ECF) www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/gg/322694-video-how-make-single-coil-your-penelope-ody.htmlthen i find the length of coils is slightly to long so one join sits very slightly in the ceramic side channel which from what blakey has said is ok, i think!!!! but overall this took me 2 hours or so. the eyeglass that comes today will help a lot. theres definitely something going on with my eyes, they seem to be going down hill by the month now. i was tested nov 11 and retested about 2 months back, in that period close up had got worse by .5 in one eye and .25 in the other, in the last couple of months my distance is really playing up. according to the optician it may have been due to taken certain antibiotics for my leg. overall its getting very frustrating with this eye problem. i will see how things go but im not sure this is for me, im not a quitter but this just seems like a lot of agro albeit only once a week or so. and now ive give myself a bloody migraine to go with it.

Raggy.....
I'm certain that it will all work out in the end. I hope so for my sake as much as yours!
There must be a mini-market for making the coils....
I'll take a crack at mine tonight.

Raggy, look at this vid www.e-cig-reviews.com/odysseus.html It's of the odysseus but the penelope is exactly the same. scot makes and winds the coil for you here. Just DON'T trap that negative wire in the locking ring like he shows!

Raggy I guess there's quite a few of us who struggle with either declining eyesight or stubby / trembling fingers... I know I can't always manage some of the finer detail you see people on videos do. Have you thought about something like this? Not expensive on ebay

Have you thought about something like this? Not expensive on ebay i have thought about one like that and although it seems extreme i suppose if you need it you need it. the aggravating thing is over many years ive used very fine fishing lines and tiny hooks etc etc and can could tie them in all manner of knots in the dark, now i cant even see the join in 2 wires with a torch on my head raggy...............

I bought a pair of those cheapie reading glasses from the £1 shop, at a higher PX strength than I actually need, keep them specifically for coil winding operations. Works a treat for me, as it's so blumming frustrating not being able to see the finer details of close up work now. Too think I used to be able to manage cross stitch on a fine count linen, I can't even see to thread the needle now.

LOL. jewellers eye glass turned up and its next too useless, you have to have it too close to you. im just looking on ebay at what oneday suggested, there about a fiver so i doubt there much good. i will have a look around amazon etc see if there anything a bit better, seems i will need it in the future anyhow. the thing with the glasses perpy is at present im using 3 pairs just sitting here 1vdu (arms length laptop) 1 reading and i for the tv. ive never other than the past month needing anything for the tv but if i use the laptop for a few hours i cant see the tv properly, normally evening time. its doing my head in now, i go out for a drive and although i can see fine i know its now 100% right, i will give it a month and have another eye test. raggy..........
