I'm tight(ish), I also like to try and repair stuff.
I had previously had a go at rebuilding a Cleito coil and failed as I wasn't prepared to put the time in to fiddle with getting the newly built coil and wick back in its tube - and I hate being sticky
I revisited rebuilding stock coils on YouTube today as my Baby Beast needed a coil change. To make inserting the new coil and wick easier I thought that using a thin piece of plastic to help it slip in might help. First I made a tube and tried to push the coil in to it and then in to the coil tube but that didn't work well. Next I just rolled the plastic around the coil and wick and that worked very well, still a small fiddle but once in the tube it was a doddle to push it all in and then using a larger drill bit (or pencil? whatever) hold the coil/wick in and gently draw the plastic out and, as the say, Bob's yer mother's brother.
I dug the disassembled Cleito coil out and put a new bit of cotton around the wire I'd wound previously and that when in like a dream. The Cleito coil vapes fine, I think I've failed to get the seal back in properly on the Baby Beast as that leaks like a colander! I untwisted the wires a bit but maybe not enough or I should use plain round or flat wire next time.
A great excuse for buying some Tunnocks Tea Cakes :-)
You could have saved yourself a load of agg, and pennies for the future by getting the Cleito RTA....costs less than a pack of coils, and easy to build on.

Yay!!@Jackymax I've joined the coil building squad, I made my first one using the Aspire Cleito 120 RTA the other day, and my first one was successful.....I just need to perfect my wicking
Feels good don't it Yea my wicking is a bit thin, but still working! Will make it thicker when it needs re-wicking

Yay!!
Yeah I was sooooo happy, I even did a happy dance....I really wasn't about coil building and wasn't here for it at all....now I totally am.....coil building is everything
My first 2 wicks were a bit tight so was dry hitting a fair bit, so I turned to the toobe of yoo, and checked a couple of tutorials, and my 3rd wick I did yesterday, is still vaping like a dream now, and not dry hitting at all.....I would never ever have tried building my own coils if I wasn't part of this here forum....in all fairness, not gon' lie, but I may well still be tokin on the wakky bakky if I wasn't on this forum and discovering sub ohm vaping and falling down it's rabbit hole ha
Sub ohm vaping is what's keepin me on the wagon. I luvvit, luvvit, I frikkin well luvvit hehe
