So, I had the day off work and not much to do and got the urge to sit down and enjoy some quality tv time along with tinkering around with building some coils. I'm marathon watching some Netflix when my girlfriend comes in the room...she shakes her head and says that I had definitely given up one habit for another...and not giving up smoking analogs to vaping, but giving up analogs to coil building.
Granted, I got a bit carried away and made a few more than I typically do when I sit down to build, but as I started stating my case that most builders do the same thing, I realized I have no facts or numbers on just how many coils your average person building Coils for personal use (not for selling or anything) builds per "session" and figured I'd hop on here and see if I could get an average "guesstimate".
I know the answer varies widely from person to person considering different variables like time issues and materials along with skill and yada-yada-yada...I'm not trying to figure this out for posterity or anything, just kind of curious as to how widely the answer is from person to person and if there happens to be anything of an "average" that comes out of the mix of answers.
Right now my go to coils are triple core Alien Coils (26ga/36ga Nichrome 80), so, that's all I've been building. Typically I'll prep enough stuff to make 10 coils because if I'm really off my game, I'll need to make sure I have at least two useable coils, but on the other hand if I'm really on my game...it's nice to have plenty of backups to stockpile for a rainy day. It got a bit out of hand today and I ended up with I think 22 coils wrapped and ready with another 15 or so made, but have yet to be wrapped around the screwdriver yet.
So, just tossing the question into the void of how many coils are you left with when you scratch the itch to build some coils?
You're not drinking water are you?! You realize that stuff is found in antifreeze!?!
