is a great tool to help you design your coils (diameter and number of wraps) to provide the resistance you want.

thicker 0.4mm+ wire is easier to coil imho and great for single or double sub ohm coils, higher resistance coils need thinner more fiddly wire tho i could just be kak handed..

the Kuro coil tools look the business and do produce nice coils in all the utube vids, i cant quite get the hang of em tho.. i use a fasttech sourced mandrel with diameters from 1mm to 3mm generally using 2-3mm diameters ..

nail clippers make a great set of wire snippers and allow you to get up close to pole posts in an atty a lot nearer than the slanted wire snippers

a market stall 'blow torch' lighter is the best tool for heating coils off power.. www.fasttech.com/products/0/10008365/1751401-am-136-adjustable-flame-butane-jet-torch


so you dont need to spend loads on bits n pieces, just grab a spool or 2 of the wire you will use (based on the resistance of the coils you want - use the above tool ) and a $2 mandrel www.fasttech.com/p/1986902

ceramic tipped tweezers are expensive a £1 pair of wilco's SS tweezers work well for me, just hold em 2 inches down from where u apply heat if making a closed coil..

They had a sweet stall and drinks and a bar or two plus the social tents have complimentary tea and coffee and probably cordial and biccies
