Ceramic tweezers
- Thread starter mreeveshp
- Start date
I do not understand the need for those. They are relatively expensive compared to just regular tweezers. There is no need to pinch coils during a pulse...adhesion can and does occur during the immediate cool down.....I do it, and build perfect coils.
Same here, except with my SquapeR due to a lack of room in the channel where the coil sits...then I use needle tipped jewelers forceps.
Plus the tips will not survive a fall onto a hard surface.Ceramic tipped tweezers are over rated.

If you must have them I'd go with fasttech or another cheap place.

lightening vapes are a good price... I got the FT ones and they seem to hold up better. No chipping of the tips like others.
And, having ceramic makes for a faster heat up when torching the coils.. Pliers act like a big heatsink.

gotta love it...somebody comes on and asks a simple and fairly straight forward question and gets trolled with a half dozen replies that dont answer his question, but call into question his reasoning for wanting such mundain and useless tools...
just because you dont use them, doesnt lessen the desire for the OP to still want them ...
stay the fuck off the thread unless you can give information relating to the post, IMO
avid vapor
sun- vapers
kidney puncher
lightning vapes...are just a few

I did by explaining that it is not necessary to pinch whilst pulsing. I will go the fuck in whatever thread I choose, for whatever fucking reason I choose. As for pointless posts....look at your own. Now Mr White Knight for those that are grown assed adults and can speak for themselves.....DO RESPOND.
Franciscan... you're right, they are not necessary. But they are just nice as fuck. I always used needle tip tweezers until I was gifted ceramic tweezers and I would never want to go back. The ability to put the coil in the perfect position while cool and then apply heat just makes it so much nicer than heating the coil then rapidly trying to get the perfect grab with normal tweezers while the coil is still hot is really nice. Not necessary, but bloody nice. I'd never go back to normal tweezers... even though normal tweezers work.

It's over rated, man!
Close enough... (to throw dollar bills)
I don't have a set, I don't even pinch coils together when installed. I torch them when I wind them. I do when building sleeper coils. with that being said, if I get some gifted me a set, I would use them. I don't really see a need for them but like I said if someone gifted them too me, I would use them.
I use hemistats work great for coils. Fish hook removal and stitches

Same here.. I use regular tweezers and they work just fine.. I don't understand the hype around these things
Regular tweezers are just fine, as you said. But TBH, ceramic tweezers really are better for coil adjustment. The ability to position the tweezers perfectly on the coil and then apply power and hold the coil position until it cools provides absolutely consistent results. It's not a necessity by any means. Good technique with normal tweezers is fine for many. I guess I just like quality tools, like the expensive German steel side cutters and needle nosed micro pliers (and these are very expensive when you compare to Harbor Freight). I'm willing to pay the price for quality tools and find they last forever if I take care of them. Which I do. The only thing I do with my ceramic tweezers is adjust coils, I use them for nothing else and if I ever lost these or broke them I would absolutely buy another pair.
Only you can decide if you are willing to spend for a quality tool, and if it's not something that you enjoy no problem. I just like nice things and find these tweezers superior for coil building. No big deal wither way.

Gawd.. this is like 'do I keep wrapping a coil around a toothpick or do I REALLY need the coil jig?' arguments...
Or better yet, 'Do I keep using a rock to pound nails in, or do I REALLY need that hammer?'

Well, everyone posted the "Where To Buy" already....
FWIW...
I'm still using the big 'ol SS straight tweezers I got with my OSDIYS DIY kit about two years ago. They do just fine for builds with my $8 butane torch.
Where I see the usefulness for ceramic, is when the coils are already installed and mebbe ya need to touch them up. Or they get wonky after a burn & clean.
Then, I just fire 'em red hot, clamp 'em with the tweezers while still hot, and let them cool that way. They tend to stay put.
I would like to try ceramic ones out sometime, just haven't seen the need yet.
