Dual coil kanger help

[reddragon]

This afternoon I will mostly be recoiling

I have 20 single coil heads that I am fine doing, but I have 12 dual coils to do too. I find It really fiddly holding the 2 coils in place while putting the gromit and pin back in. I tried cocktail sticks (too big) and it doesn't help that I only have one 1.4mm screwdriver so can't hold two in place.

Does anyone have any top tips, ingenious solutions to help with the dual coils?

Use the single coil head with an extra chimney grommet on, fits perfectly! reddragon

[reddragon]

Ooh, I'll give that a try prr that Is one simple solution

[lairey]

Or just put a single coil in the dual coil head, with an extra bit of wick on top of the coil so as to fill the channels

[reddragon]

I will give that one a try too, thanks lairey

You could wrap your coils around blunt needles if you have any of the right diametre, easy to hold in place too

Should the likes of this be put someplace into the guides? Along with other tips that those in the know are aware of?

excellent guide but it is for recoiling single coils this tip is more of a conversion from a double to a single

I am also interested in the answer!
I already know how to make them into single coils!!!

Well I did the 20 single coils, cba doing the duals, but have put some singles with extra grommet in some dual tanks so will see how they go

[dalealan]

Both solutions work fine. I tend to use the dual coils with a single coil and an extra flavour wick across the top to fill the gap. I use a drill bit to keep them in place when recoiling them. Fiddly but worth it.

I use the unicoil black gromet for the aerotank with normal single microcoil Tbh it beats a stock duel head.
I'll have a go in a couple days at doing a duel coil head.
I'll have to work out the wire guage for ohms etc.

I've been having sleepless nights wondering how I'm ever going to rebuild a dual coil! Another technique you might be interested in is rebuilding a Kanger dual coil with a VERTICAL single coil. Has anyone tried it? I came across it below:
