How To Make your coil wraps/turns neatly spaced when recoiling

[Alan]

Try this if your coils are uneven...it works for me.

Say you're trying to achieve 5 coils but the first one is unevenly spaced...wrap six coils instead (the last five of which will be even) then unwrap the first one.

That's exactly what I do. Since I'm holding the wick, pin and wire I make the first one wonky then wrap the next 5 as neatly as I can and unwrap the first one. Works every time

My God. That is such a simple but a brilliant idea !
Thanks. Will do that with the next one. Cheers.

I worked this out last week after struggling to get the first one tight, really good tip.

Thanks for the tip

Simple yet effective! I'll be sure to try that myself when I wire up some coils next time

For extra neatness i find if i follow the above tip but, do it whilst wearing the wives knickers it helps. Not sure why tbh, maybe just a comfort thing

I'm a clever git,I wrap my coils onto the former & then grab both ends with the pliers & simply pull hard.The result is the coils bunch closer together & then once mounted in the posts,fire up the battery & soon as I release the firing button,tweak the coils together with tweezers.

I'll try this though with my next coiling session,hopefully reduce the number of "coiling weapons" I need carry with me if out & about.

Thanks for the tip! I'm (currently) only rebuilding protank coils, I just place a pin under the wick and wrap around it

Bloody obvious when you think of it (which I didn't) so thanks for the tip
