Pre wrapped SS wire?

[graykev]

Does anyone know where i can get pre wrapped SS coils? I build/wick on an RBA deck but just can't get perfect wraps using my coil jig so i have been buying pre wrapped kanthal up to now.

I want to move onto temp control using SS wire but can't seem to find anywhere that sells the coils pre wrapped. Does anyone know of anywhere?

I was considering the stock TFV4 SS coils but don't want to spend the money plus i enjoy wicking them myself on an rba.

Not sure anyone does SS pre mades at the minute, If anywhere has them it will be FT - but quality will be hit and miss...
Which coil jig are you using?

Whats FT?

I'm using the coil master one. It's a hit or a miss. Sometimes they come out perfect but usually i get a kink in my first wrap that i can't get rid of. Wasted alot of wire trying...

FT= Fasttech, Don't put any pressure on the top bit of the coil master - just touch it against the wire and rotate it, pressure will cause flattening or spiral shapes...

I have a coil master type jig thing and I always add an extra 4 wraps and pull 2 from each side out, this gives you the perfect coil.

Im sure @Tubbyengineer will agree

I usually just add two but that's a personal preference...
