Build coils in seconds

Haha @kimbo ... fasttech should be paying you a commision :D

I'm just about ready to get one of these..I've enjoyed doing it "manually", but I think I'm over it - time for a tool! :)
 
Yeah me to, the wood block works cool. But its time to do things like a boss :D
 
Dammit I placed my first order with fasttech earlier this week, would it be possible to add this on ? :p It hasn't shipped yet

It looks like the 3 in 1 is a pain. Just get the Kuro clones for $6 a set :D

@VandaL i take it you make your certain coil most of the time, every now and then you might try something or make another coil for something other than your work horse. That 3 in 1 is setup for that coil, the few times you make something else to swop stuff around is not so hectic. With the three separate coilers there is a bigger chance that you might loose something. The 3 in 1 you can pack up and close when you are done.

I agree with you to an extent but the 3 seperate coilers the only part that has a great chance of getting lost is the 'lid' the part that you turn, but the same can be said with the 3in1 but has a greater chance of losing other parts . Everything else is screwed on with a tiny screw on the kuros. I can't imagine misplacing those parts. The 3in1 is nice but for $3 more you get 3 seperate coilers with which require almost no effort to make your coil of choice. I mostly build 3mm and sometimes to 2mm in rtas

No, the 3 in 1 once you are done ,.. you the guide screw out and the "lid" screw onto the body so there is no loose pieces until next time you need it
 
I love the fact that Fastech can RETAIL all 3 coilers to the public for $6 and I'm guessing still turn a decent profit from them. Yet the creators seems to have a RRP of around $20-$25 for a single coiler, they cannot justify that with materials/labor can they? I suppose they can charge for RnD but surely that can't be as high as they would like us to believe.

Programming a CNC machine to run 24/7 with no labour costs, makes a huge difference.
 
The "3-in-1" has kakka philips screws. And the rods are screwdrivers? - or am i just confused.
As per VandaL. i was pleased to find those there in the useful fasttech list, of related items.
VandaL, what you worried about? Just do another order. Better like that. The only reason i don't split orders more is for fasttech's sake.

jaaa, pity about the minimum diameter being 2mm, but...not serious.
The other thing that's different from the original is that the cap/turning piece of the original is drilled through, it slides right over the rod. So it could be used with the block type tools, a further help with shakey hands. But, maybe can modify.

kimbo, thanks! Impressive monitoring/scanning of fasttech. Thank goodness for fasttech. fasttech contributing more to vaping than anyone or anything else.

Yeah I'm going to do another order now, I thought they would charge like $10 for shipping but instead it was insanely high $0.70 for shipping :giggle: The only drawback here is SAPO, My EMS package has been in transit from JHB twice last week. Possibly coming by bicycle, so they switched out the rider halfway here, or maybe like kimbos order it is coming by canoe from jhb :)
 
Arguments against Chinese manufacturing are defunct, sometimes dysfunctional.
And although stuff like this is probably big machine shops,...most specialty stuff like bike accessory parts, performance parts and so on, is made in small CNC shops. There are many of them. And in Thailand. And it is mostly not copies. Whole thing is way superior, because the attitude that side is better.
 
I made my own a few months ago with a 1.4mm mandrel; I ended up using the ejector pin
from a PC DVDrom drive, and pushed it in with the drill press. :)

Cost me zip.
 
VandaL, you never know. Sometimes i think it's better to split them. i've done orders several days apart and i get the PO slip on the same day, and sometimes the one you ordered a few days after another order, arrives first. [?]
One great thing about fasttech, i had to adjust my mind to it, i was so used to trying to rationalise the shipping cost.

@VandaL my international package. the one on the canoe., was scanned again in JHB last week also. Maybe we in the same canoe now
 


If fastech didn't exist this would be a sweet deal
