I’m having trouble setting up the SXK NarDA. The difficulty I have is bending the coil to 90 degrees so it can be wrapped around the screws. I am having trouble bending the coil without distorting or removing a wrap

I found this post right when I was struggling to bend coil legs, and it was a huge help, so thanks for that.I put a 3mm ID Coil onto a piece of 3mm Rod Stock and then grip then Coil by squeezing the Coil Wraps to the Rod.

Then bend the Coil Legs to 90 Deg using a pair of 5" Flat Nose Pliers.

It Helps to keep the Coil Tight if you Pull on the Coil Leg Slightly right before you do the 90 Degree Bend.
I feel better about my growing vape hoard the more I browse on here.Ya know how when you are at the Grocery Store and you throw a Pack of Gum or Tin of Mints in with you stuff just for the Heck of It?
That's what I would do with these...

back when Fasttech was around. I must have Eight or Nine Hundred Coils in various Gauges and Ohms.
Probably more like 1,200. But having 1,200 Pre-Coiled Coils sounds Mildly Compulsive. So we'll just stick with 900.
Those Flat-Nose pliers come in Very Hand when working with small wire, Same Reach as say Needle-Nose pliers. But easier to grab with.I found this post right when I was struggling to bend coil legs, and it was a huge help, so thanks for that.

Seriously though, that makes sense. I can see how they'd be cheap, you'd add them to an order, and before you know it you're swimming in coils. Better to have too many than not enough.
You saved me some burnt hits and aggravation for sure. I was trying to grab the legs and bend them by hand without pinning the rest of the wraps against the rod. Wound up twisting the legs into a mess and making the wraps uneven in the process.Those Flat-Nose pliers come in Very Hand when working with small wire, Same Reach as say Needle-Nose pliers.

Yeah... Sometimes it was easier to just get another 50 Pack for like $1.98 than it was to spend 20 Minutes looking for the one that came on the last order.
BTW - Looks like I'm probably closer to 1,800 or so...

So Don't Feel Bad Splurging on your Next Order.
LOL

Nice stash. No wonder, that's quite a deal, and they don't take up much space. They get over $2 for a pack of 10 these days.
