I just got a SXK Doggystyle and cannot for the life of me coil the thing. Every time I think I've got it, I give it a little tug and the coil just pops out.
I've watched all the videos and I know you have to have the wire running in the same direction as the screw so the wire doesn't push away as you tighten.
I'm using 28 AWG Kanthal and I'm wondering if it's too thick. Perhaps with a thinner wire I can wrap it round the screws 360 degrees and there might be more chance of it staying in place. I know this is a popular atty and I wonder what wire other people use. I've only ever used 28 AWG - would 30 AWG be appreciably thinner than 28, or should I get something even thinner?
If other people are happy using 28 then I think I'll give up on it cos it's clearly not working for me. Far too fiddly. The only other tanks I've used are an Ubertoot and Beserker and both of them are simple to coil - I'm glad I didn't get something like the doggystyle when I was transitioning from cigarettes cos I'd have gone straight back to the rollups out of frustration !
