Where ya goin? Can you link me that three hour tour of coiling please (: I have seen some coil vids but none that long/detailed.

I work on an oil rig in a section of the gulf of mexico called Eugene Island. About 100 miles of the coast of Louisiana.

Here's the links to the videos. It's part 1-5. All tolled it's something like 2 hours and 48 minutes.

Hope you enjoy it. I did. Mike from madvapes isn't as kooky as rip tripper but the videos are packed with info for folks like me just starting out.

So I got my needle nose pliers, dykes, mini screwdriver set, tweezers and a magnifying glass. They had a torch but it was $26. I think I can do better than that. I'm checking home depot tomorrow.

Does anyone else think $26 is high for a little butane torch?

I watched a video where they used a bic lighter to burn their kanthal. I could do that if I wanted to couldn't I?
I used to use a blowtorch on the coils but now I use a mini butane lighter (mini torch) 6u2ygaqy.jpg After I saw a video with a guy using this, I got one, the clear one. Lol Edited by VaporTron

see those from time to time at gas stations in shady areas of town. I got one similar but it has a broader flame from a local b&m. I used to collect "jet lighters". you can find these things online for cheap as dirt.

I have 3 torches I can use. One is a combo Bernzomtic soldering micro torch, Have one of the Bernzomatic mini torches (use this mostly now) and a lighter size torch. The lighter torch works best for the 30 and 32 gauge wire as the bigger torches have a tendency to melt the wire.
