Attention Coil Bulders

Thanks, but R50-00 per coil before delivery is a bit steep.

@Matuka if I am not mistaken it is $4.73 for 50 coils just over a rand a coil, looking reasonable to me, but just dont expect it too soon with the sapo strike and what not

Looks like a pack of 50 coils

But anyway, coiling and installing a coil in a device with holes in the posts is very easy
Once youve done a few, you can do it in a few minutes
And the coil tends to last for many weeks

You just need to rewick if you use cotton - as i do. I rewick after about every 5ml of juice.
But if you use ekowool or silica, the wick lasts much, much longer. I know @johan had an ekowool wick that was in his Reo for weeks. I still need to experiment with that.

@Matuka I promise you wrapping the coils is so easy, as long as you have two hands and eyes to see. It's really simple. All that is required is a little patience and a lot of practice. The thicker gauge wire like 26g is very easy to work with.

My advice: Get 10m of wire, and a few drill bits in different sizes. Then just practice making a crap load of coils. After the 10th one you will already discover just how easy it becomes.

Ok guys thanks for all the advice. You have convinced me to have a go at making my own coils. I am going to get some Kanthal and wicking and have another go, but before I do I will get myself something with holes in the posts and take it from there. Maybe it was trying to coil a commercial atomiser that drove me crazy!

For all you expert coil builders out there, have any of you considered selling your ready made coils to those of us who are too lazy/challenged to build our own coils? This will open up a whole new world to those of us who stick with commercial tanks because we can't or won't make our own coils.

\id gladly help out by building a few coils and popping it in the post. cost of materials and postage would be on you though. I'm not the best at it but i think i do a pretty decent job
