RDA coil advice

[Turtlemelon]

I recently got myself an RDA and have dove straight into making my own coils. It's frustrating to see how I can't make my coils as perfect as how everyone else I see online can.

I just want to show you my coils at the end, most of the time when I'm making coils they usually end up with this result. I'm not really fussed with it but it never really pulses evenly and I always seem to burn out the coil when trying to look for hotspots.

I just wanted to see if there's anything noticeable visually that I've done to my coils that could be avoided. It bugs me that I have gaps in my coils but if it does the job I'm not fussed.

You arent wrapping tight enough - no worries, its just takes practise. You would be surprised how quick you get it.
Best tip I had so far is not to 'brush' the coil but to squeeze together with ceramic tweezers as evenly as you can. Its really helped me and Im very new too

Just keep practicing. Wrap them tighter and closer together. Eventually you’ll become better at making coils.

Are you taking them off the drill bit or coil jig or whatever before you attach them to the posts? If so, don’t. Leave the coil on the jig while you screw it into place, then position them and slowly pull the jig out.

What’s the brown stuff on the posts @Turtlemelon ? Is it rust?

I always give my legs of the coil a pull with a pair of pliers to pull the coil nice and tight before trimming the legs to fit the RDA posts........

Update:
I've pulsed them a bit more now and they're pulsing at the same time and they don't look as bad as shown before I'll send an image of the end result in a bit

Nah it slightly tinged when I pulsed it that's all, I wouldn't try vaping on rusty wires that just sounds awful

Still ain't perfect but I wanna post more often here whenever I change my coils just so that I can track my coil making progress

I'd say it's definitely better than before!
