L
i'm with you. I bought my sister a tobeco coil jig but drill bit's work fine for me. never once had a problem winding coils.$35.00 I have mods that don't cost that much. I think I'll stick with my drill bits. Enjoy the day!
You hit it exactly sir. I felt very intimidated on my first few wraps. Once done and firing the confidence builds(pun intended). Enjoy the day!Once you get past the learning for the first time it becomes second nature where you can probably do it blindfolded .
I think these coil devices are attractive to someone just starting out who may not think they can do it (any many are intimidated actually) but once they wrap on a drill bit i think all these are just an unnecessary waste of money .
Thirty five buck's , holy cow , that is insane . Joe listed some coil jigs that would work perfectly fine on his blog a while back for under five bucks if you really wanted a device to wrap coils with.
I posted this because I thought this was pretty nice, but $35.00 is just plain old crazy!
It is also a rip off of a Kuro Koiler, which is patent pending. The KK will be cheaper.
Hi all Happy to see the discussion here & wanted to clear up a few things.
1) Is it expensive? Yes it is. $35 is a lot for a coil jig, but then again, so is my wholesale cost for the unit... My margins are very thin on it, but I wanted to get it to provide it for anyone interested.That's why I did it as a "pre-buy" instead of investing on it and then selling it. I didn't to take the risk for something that I'm basically making very very little on in terms of profit, but wanted to offer it to see if anyone would want in on it if we could make it to 100 units. As it turns out, there was a lot of interest in it
2) Are people interested? Yes, they are, I sold the 100 in about 24 hours which wasn't super fast but also wasn't very slow. I am keeping 2 of them for myself.
3) Like it or not, there are a lot of people (myself included) that don't mind paying a little for something that they feel is worth it. As simple as this device appears to make building standard, parallel, twisted etc, coils... it seems like a win/win. And considering that you would only ever need 1 for all the years of vaping, what is $35 really? not much.
4) It's one of those items, if ya like it, buy it, if you think it's too expensive, continue using a nail, drill bit, $3 mandrel, screw driver set, or just wrap directly on the wick! I personally have and do use all of these things to wrap a coil, and they all work well. I'm keeping two of these coil jigs, because it seems to make it even easier, so I figure, what the hell, why not?
5) "Kuro Koiler" - Sounds very promising! I would LOVE to know more about it if you have any info as I would gladly stock that as well for another option. I tried googling it but couldn't find anything, I even searched pending patents for it and came up dry. If you know where I can find the info for it, I would love to know because I'd be happy to see if I could get it at a reduced price to pass the savings on and offer another option for my customers!
6) Speaking of cost, I just got word that the ez coiler that I sold is going up by $5 - the MSRP from the manufacturer is going to be set at $39.99
Thanks for all of the info in this thread and thanks for participating in the VapingUnderground!
Nobody is claiming you are responsible for the cost.

This YouTube video seems to predate yours by a few months
Oh, I know you weren't @VH fan That's the thing that stinks about text, it's so hard to show expressions in it I merely wanted to point out that it's "not me that is charging too much" - You know... it's the ol' "it's not me, it's them defense" lol (which in this case truly is the case unfortunately).
I would love for it to be cheaper and I've asked for ways that I could reduce my cost... the answer is that I will save $2 on my cost if I buy over 200 on my next purchase, which was explained to me would be the lowest they could go.
So for now, I'll keep searching for the next best coil jig which will hopefully be better than this one and at a more reasonable price Let's all cross our fingers.
As it is for now, I'm going to wait to buy any more until I find out more about the "Kuro Koiler" that was mentioned
Like I stated before I think this unit is very nice! Just the price point is high.
I was thrilled to see the new jig and ordered one as soon as I saw the video on how it works on RBA Supplies. I have hand mobility issues and there are days when picking up a coffee cup is a challenge let alone trying to wrap a coil. I’ve been using another jig (can’t recall the name – got it on Congrevape) which is of some help, but this design should be much easier to use. I know I could buy pre-made coils, but for me, that’s just an admission of defeat. I don’t care how crappy my coils look, I’m making my own, damn it!
I thought the price was very reasonable. My only regret was that I forgot to add in some ReadyXwick to the order to get the 20% discount.
Appreciate you offering this, Lucidious! Those of us with old, painful hands salute you (or, at least we’ll try depending on how bad the pain is that day)
Did not think about how helpful this would be to some sir. As VH has already stated love your attitude.

Love it. Simplicity itself.
My home brew drill bit holder. Good grip and leverage allows me to use a lot of tension. Also it's somehow easier now to hold the spool in my winding hand and cut when finished, conserving wire.

Still tweaking it. Gonna increase the topmost flat area to allow for longer straighter ends.
I think you have something there!
Does the screw hold bit in place, then use the thumb screw to hold the wire?
Yeah , unfortunately not as easy to make as i thought lol.
Exactly, two in one. I wanted to minimize the hardware and keep it out of the way of the winding hand.
I want one.........................
I will finance, how much does it cost to make?
We can make some retirement money from this baby.

Would of been better to get a patent on it first before posting for all the World to see.
it was posted almost 9 hours ago I'm sure the Chinese already have a prototype. mass production by noon on Monday no doubtWould of been better to get a patent on it first before posting for all the World to see.
No no no.. youre suppose to quit your job, put all your money into making them, sell them for $180 ea, then bitch to high heaven about how you are now starving when the clones come out for $2.50... Dont forget to claim a 'patent' and copyright, and dont forget the vid.I'm taking pre-orders @ a buck two-eighty. Estimated shipping date: day after I lose my job.

Seriously! We are having fun, but but at the same time, his idea is genius!
Problem is i don't think the OP thinks it's genius , i think he thinks it's very cool and a great idea as most of us do but if he really thought it was a game changer he definitely would have not revealed it for anyone to steal the idea , just my opinion of course.
Damn! You guys are to hard, here I give a compliment and you folks .................
