Be Safe When Trimming Those Coils

Wear eye protection
 
oh and thanks for not posting the pic here @Alex

definitely not for the faint hearted
 
Definitely need protective glasses now as well....especially for us newbies

I agree with you, we only get one set of eyes.
 
i usually hold the piece that im cutting off so it doesnt fly just anywhere
 
Ouch, that is harsh

Safety goggles/specs are a must
 
Why did I click the link :tmi: ?!? I already knew what I was gonna see, but I clicked it anyway :worried::doh:
 
Thanks for sharing
I didnt think of wearing safety goggles.
Will do so from now on
 
:tmi:

I was gonna start rebuilding coils, but now i think not.

anything can be dangerous when you dont take the proper precautions

i promise you, once you get into coil building, you will love it
 
eish - i normally trim my coil legs with nail clippers, so that if it decides to shoot it shoots into the back of the nail clippers.....
but it ur using like side cuttests or scissors, then close your eyes or wear glasses
 
might be worth looking into something like this... not sure if you should get something more sleek to fit into those tiny spaces?

i honestly think this will be a better option, as i mean, even if you get safety glasses, think of this scenario..
you wrap your coil, burn it fiddle with it, ect, now you think to yourself, ag man, im just going to quickly snip of these excess wires, it will be quick, nothing will happen, so im not gona waste time in putting on my safty glasses... and boom in the eye.... where as if you had one of these :safety clippers, you would be safe fast and efficient.
 
goeie bliksem. That cannot be fun!!!


:notagain: but the real question should be, what does his coil look like?
 
I always hold the wire that i am cutting, thus avoiding pieces flying around... Old trick my dad taught me when i was a little boy..
 
To the guys that don’t want to look, please do your self a favour and look!!

I never knew that could happen, I probably wouldn’t believe you if you said it could without seeing it!

Just another top safety tip for all the re-builders, HOLD ON AND THROW YOUR KANTHAL AWAY
If the piece doesn’t lodge itself in your face/eye you might stand on it later and get it embedded in your foot...
Also not fun!

Be safe and VAPE STRONG!
