Simple Coil Jig

[Leroy Two Hawks]

I ran across this video the other day and it's just such a simple solution to wrapping coils. And and if you want larger coils you just have several sizes of wires bent to use as the jig. Below is a picture of it and the video showing how simple it works.

Part of what amazes me is this was posted last year only has a few hundred views and has somehow flown under the vape radar while vapers are spending an average of $20 for coil jigs this can be made by anyone for under $1. Enjoy

Thanks for the find!

Very nice and I am on my way to the hardware store soon.

 

[LukeTheDuke]

Awesome,
Where's is the how to build the jig video though??

People pay money for a stick to wrap a wire around? My god...

My hope for humanity is now lost...

 

[Roger Schaeffer]

I am going to try it need ti find some proper dia. wire

 

[Leroy Two Hawks]

After playing with it some I think it works best with 26 gauge or smaller. It was just something I ran across that looked intriguing.

 

[Roger Schaeffer]

thats sounds about right to me I have some 1/8th " rod Going to try and make 1 jig

 

[Celcius666]

Uhh that's a must have to build tool, going out to find me some thin rod tomorrow when the shops are open again or maybe we have some at work☺
Thanks for sharing Leroy

Here's what I use and it works just fine. ;-)

Do I need to do a video on how to use it?

 

[Celcius666]

Yeah make video Caff, I want to see a video.☺☺
Joke

that is a damn nice coil right off the jig.. good stuff

so that is basically two washers, a screw, & a rod? im gonna make me a few of these, different sizes

 

[CaFF]

Same coils, after torching.

1. slide coils off screwdriver
2. pinch coils with SS/Ceramic forceps
3. flambe the sucka. =)

Also, homemade twisted 33 gauge coils are simple.

EZ Peazy.

Normally I make em the same way as you CaFF, I have almoste the same set of screwdrivers as you. I'm also using some different small sizes ss welding rods, think I'm maby gonna use a couple of them to make some of those coil jigs.

Cool. I got mine from my dad who had put them on a yard sale.

I have no problem with people using jigs, I just like things simplified I guess. I already have the screwdriver set, may a well just use 'em.

Ha..I'm just sitting here drinking a beer and watching Nascar...but now I am tempted to make some coils for my new TOBH clone while I watch.

Wouldn't even have to leave my chair...

 

[UncleRJ]

Me, I use a nail to wrap the coil and after I attach it to the deck and check the resistance, I set the power to 7 watts, apply power until the coil glows red and after releasing the power button I pinch the coils. Works like a charm.

 

[st_andrew]

That is awesome. Gotta make a jig so I can build coils with my eyes closed. That's pretty damn cool and better than the 25$ one.
