Is this a good starter kit for building coils?

[decoy]

I love kanger heads
use a 2mm drill bit for portank 1/2 and a 3 mm bit for protank 3 still only do one coil and rem to spread the cotton out so it fills the holes once done

[osdset]

For perfectly spaced coils this idea takes some beating Machine screw coil

I'd go one further by cutting the head off the screw and fitting the threaded section in a handle of some sort, a pin vice is ideal. Then instead of winding the wire around the screw I'd twist the handle while holding the wire in tension with the other hand, so the screw is revolving rather than the wire feeding hand (if that makes any sense).

Hi Pixilocks It sounds like the cotton is not filling the 2 slots cut in the atty. The duel coil attys tend to have a larger slot cut in them for the 2 coils and when recoiled for 1 coil you need to fill that extra gap up. Do as decoy says and once the cotton is threaded and cut, spread the cotton so it fills the gaps.

I blow on the ends of the cotton to 'fluff it up'.

Didn't have a atty that needed recoiling, but I threaded a coil with cotton a fluffed up the ends to show you what I mean.

Before...                                                                                                                 After......

After they look like this, they will fill the gaps better and wont flood.

so far out of a combination of board om,is this doable,experimentation and down right stupidity i have managed to do some nice coils in kanger heads
duel micro coil (almost went cross eyed for good)
chimney coil (was nice but you cant re wick it so only lasted 3 days and can only be done in the duel coil head)
parallel duel coil (doooo like this but havent managed to get the resistance above 1 ohm so mech mods only)
twisted micro coil (still deciding as only had it a few days but its 2ohms and im normally around 1 or under but i doooo likes it so far will do less wraps on the next one and decide then)

i only started vapeing after xmas and have gotten to this lev of craziness thank to the peps on this forum alone shineys tute got me started as well as many many others on here he made it that easy

oh and be on the look out for enjay he helped me to realize my nuttyness

Why can't you rewick the chimney coil?

[Pixilocks]

Just drying some new cotton then ill upload a few photos of what im doing.. Im not using the kanger coil heads though lol.. Im using some standard head with a kanger chimney on a kanger base if that makes sense as i cant seem to bloody dissamble the kanger mini 3 coils. Even got the fella to try but he ended up just squishing the chimny haha.. think they may be sealed? Ill upload photos of them too..

Does hijack wash his cotton?

No I don't wash the cotton. I use Boots Baby Essentials and think its just fine as it comes.

I cant see boots selling stuff soaked in pesticides for babies, but I could be wrong.

Maybe Pixilocks should try with some unwashed cotton.

just because i wrapped the cotton round the coil before fitting it to the head(acts as an insulator so stops any shorts with its self or head
