Nice to meet in the flesh

When I coil, I test after I've wound round the wick, just to get an idea, then once its in the atty, and just for luck, once everything is reassembled.

Remember, you can't test/measure too much, but if you don't do it enough, and get it wrong, you'll have to start again.

Once you get proficient, you'll probably be able to just select some wick & wire, wind (say) 4 wraps, and just know that it will be (say) 2.1 to 2.2 ohms - just as an example.

Personally, i'll probably always test,test,test,test............

Additionally an most important if you don't test you could be in trouble if the coil is shorting, could fry you batteries or worse,
Can't emphasis how important it is to check the coil especially after it fitted.
OK serious hat off now :-), really glad you made your own coil and it works well for you.

Won't be making any more coils until the multi meter arrives anyways. All of them were replaced a week or so ago apart from the one last night which I forgot to change before going away.

I have loads in my vaping box at home that need to be recoilled
