Hi all 👋,
As the title suggests I'm looking for the communities advice.
I'm currently in the process of starting a custom/bespoke handmade coil service and would love some advice/feedback. Everyone who contributes to this will be entered in to a draw for a sample of the finished product, if you would rather not just let me know.
So I would appreciate advice/help with the following:
1. Common coil types you would like to see as standard.
2. Would you like to be able to choose certain ohms?
3. Range of ohms you would use.
4. Types of material.
5. Would you want the coils to be conditioned/colored?
6. Thoughts on packaging.
7. Name suggestions.
I know this is a big ask and appreciate any and all feedback even if I've not put it on the list.
Many thanks George.

I'd like ready made coils that have a gurt big internal diameter, as I don't have bionic eyesight for wicking them up . . . . plus have a decent ' leg ' length, as many seem to be really niggardly. Nothing fancy required from me by way of design or material, guess I use in the range of 0.5ohm - 1.8ohm. Not much to ask is it George.  |

I could use from 0.2 to 0.5 but my mrs would be more 1.5 to 1.8 I imagine all the usual suspects regarding wire as there are a fair few folks here and elsewhere that either prefer 1 over another or mix it up depending on the atty.

No that's great, can I ask what rebuildable you would be installing on? |

I use either a crown or drop, I have the rba for the crown somewhere and the drop is on a squonk mod, my mrs is mtl on a kanger aero, I do use others like the hadaly and pulse 22 and I have some kayfun clones for the mrs but so far found it fiddly to coil, need to do more practice.

6. Thoughts on packaging. Nothing to say about coils as I happily make my own and for friends sorry but packaging; plastic free and bio-degradeable is good. I know I love getting something in a cardboard box etc rather than something that is going to end up being an environmental hazard. NB dont put me in the raffle and good luck with the enterprise. |

Great idea with the cardboard. I'll just need to source some samples, I can see it being difficult to get the size I'm after and strong enough to withstand postage but I will have a look. Cheers |

No that's great, can I ask what rebuildable you would be installing on? Nothing specific, which probably isn't that helpful George . . . . I've a variety of rebuildables ( Serpent Mini/Bachelor Nano/Geekvape Ammit ) single coil is my preference. Dual coils I can do, but they're not my first choice. I guess, although I'm quite comfortable with ramming some cotton in myself and doing dry burns/rewicks as and when required.  |

I would suggest some nice ni80 fused Claptons and aliens aimed at the single coil rda market coming in at around 0.3 to 0.5 ohms as that seems to be a sweet spot for those type of atties. Many coils seem to be either too low or too high so would be nice to see some around that resistance.
As for packaging a nice little cardboard box with some cotton inside for the coils to sit in.
No idea for a name suggestion though I'm afraid

Tbh guys I only run single coil also in a sqounker about 0.5ohm is my prefferd spot so I totally understand that. I take it you would still preffer the 2 coils as that gives you the choice of 0.5 or 0.25?

The only one I use is the armor and I find that suited to a dual build with standard ni80 round wire. My go to atty is the haku at around 0.3 ohms |
