Sharing how I use less wire and avoid sore fingers...

[Freejep]

I've been building on the so horney's since April....it's mostly in 6 coil builds to get lower ohms...keeping tension with the kanthal wrapped around my finger was becoming uncomfortable and was also wasting alot of wire...
I occasionally use pin chucks at work to grip very small drill bits...to cut a long story short I found a lightweight hand pin chuck on eBay for a couple of bucks and now wind all my coils using this to grip the end of the 24AWG....i can keep great tension for very tight coils...(without pain and save a few inches of wire with every coil)



I also made a coil jig plate to help with setting of the leg spacings....I drilled my plate with the same diameter holes as my So Horney post holes and with the same hole centres and positions...so any coils and builds I make i can set the leg spacings and heights etc with ease with plenty of room to manouver ...

Cheers bud....it's certainly brought my stress levels down for the 6 coil so horney builds...the back of the plate acts as a leverage face too for levering the wire through with the pliers...so more control = less stress = happier vaper lol
